About Me
I am so excited to tell you about the path my life has taken to inner peace, harmony and how this insight can be of benefit to you in your life's journey. I am now healthier and feel younger than when I was in my twenties. This has assisted me to become a personal coach to help others in there own self discovery process.
About 19 years ago, I was successful in my job, financially secure and was staring a new marriage to my lover and best friend. But, with all the material things in place, I realized that I yearned for more in my life. Something was missing and I felt stuck and did not know where to go for the answers. I kept looking for the answers outside of myself and for the magic “fix”. Through the steps outlined below; I came to learn that all the answers I needed came from inside of me and not from other people's expectations or books.
When I became very uncomfortable, I came back to the practice of prayer I had learned in childhood. I started praying for direction and was lead by a good friend to an Edgar Cayce “Search for God” study group. As a part of this group, I started to understand the correlation between body, mind and spirit. I also learned that my thoughts were creating my reality. The reality I had created was making me very unhappy and limiting my future possibilities. One of the key steps to changing that reality was learning how to accept myself, others and learning not to live by someone else's expectations of me. I began to discover that I had no idea who I really was, what my desires were, what talents I had to offer, or what I needed to make me happy. As my self self-discovery continued, I was lead down many different paths.
It all started by being invited to a book signing in Sacramento , California . I met Hank Wesselamn, a shaman who practices, teaches and writes about Hawaiian traditions. I read his first book, “Spirit Walker”, and began a nine-year training period with him. During this time I learned the basic shamanic skills of extraction, power animal retrieval, ancestral healing, and the shamanic view of soul. We talked about the soul and how the soul is susceptible to soul loss and the need for soul retrieval. Through practicing these skills and deepening my knowledge of shamanic ways, I was lead to my next teacher at a conference in Santa Fe.
In Santa Fe , I met Connie Grauds, a licensed pharmacist, founder of the Center for Spirited Medicine and the author of Jungle Medicine. Connie taught me about Plant Spirit Medicine from her own background working and studying with a shaman in the Amazon jungle. I learned to work with plants, nature and how to extract the medicine of the natural world for healing. At the end of a years training program, I was invited to accompany her to Peru and work directly with a Peruvian shaman Don Antonio. In the depts. of the jungle, I learned even more how the natural world works with and for us, to give us medicine and to teach us how to live in the moment.

Three years ago I founded my business, Waves of Spirit, to help clients in self-discovery and important life changes. People heal their fears and wounds caused by the traumas in their lives. Through this process they reclaim their essence and discover their true Identity, as they learn to integrate all aspects of themselves body, mind and spirit. As a result, many have found relief from symptoms such as chronic fatigue, chronic illness and depression. I offer private coaching sessions and workshops. In addition, I am available for speaking engagements to promote shamanism and holistic healing.
After my profound experience in the Amazon and working with the healing properties of the plants, I found a company that is helping the Amazon indigenous to preserve the treasures of the rainforest. The Amazon Herb Company has developed a line of herbs, available through me, that truly help our bodies work better. These herbs help build our immune system, help us to loose weight, have better digestion and balance our body chemistry for better and sustainable health. The Amazon herb company has also developed a skin care line that is nature's ultimate recipe for youthful skin. As a result of taking these herbs and using the skin care products, I have more energy, fell healthier, calmer, and my skin has a new vitality and radiance with age lines becoming less visible.
I look forward to getting to know you as your life journey unfolds.
