For more than 30 years, I have worked at the intersection of traditional healing methods, field-based research, and contemporary therapeutic practice. My approach integrates shamanic methodologies, herbalism, sound-based interventions, traditional drumming, experimental percussion, ceremonial protocols, and traditional indigenous training to support clients in navigating complex personal, emotional, and creative challenges. My Ph.D. research in Therapeutic Medicine focused on Indigenous healing frameworks, cross-cultural practices, and neurophysiological responses to ritual and sound. While my work is informed by time spent learning from Indigenous practitioners and knowledge keepers, it is grounded in careful study, ethical application, and a commitment to contemporary relevance rather than cultural replication.

My methods draw from disciplines including living and historic research in the study of world healing traditions, embodied experiences, ethnobotany( non-hallucinogenic) in the form of native plants for ceremony and herbalism, and mental awareness through meditation practices, combined with my long professional background as an artist and educator. This interdisciplinary approach allows clients to access deeper layers of insight, pattern recognition, and behavioral transformation through clear protocols, structured processes, and outcomes-oriented sessions.

I work with individuals who are seeking meaningful, measurable change—whether that involves regulating stress, increasing clarity and adaptability, resolving long-held emotional patterns, rebuilding creative capacity, or navigating life transitions that require grounded discernment.
