For more than 25 years, I have worked within mental health systems, community programs, and direct service roles supporting youth and families in Oregon.

I have worked with foster youth, homeless youth, justice-involved youth, and families in crisis—often in situations where traditional approaches were no longer effective.

Alongside this, I have spent over two decades studying and practicing indigenous healing traditions, including apprenticeship within Huichol ceremonial practice in Mexico, where I was initiated into the order of Marakames.

Today, as a certified NLP and Hypnotherapy Practitioner, I blend ancient wisdom with modern techniques to offer a unique, powerful approach to healing and personal growth.

In 1996, I was initiated into the shamanic traditions of the Huichol Indian tribe in Jalisco, Mexico, and spent a decade studying divination and mediumship with Don Ernesto Nerey.

Before embracing my calling as a shaman and healer, I thrived in the corporate world—excelling in athletics, earning an Organizational Communications and Business Management degree, and even building a successful denim stone washing business. However, a profound experience in a sweat lodge ceremony awakened me to a deeper purpose.
