This was a rough week. On so many levels.

And although it's very rare that I ever get political here, I'm not sure that this is even political. More human than anything. And it feels right to share it here.

I do invite you to read through to the end, without jumping to conclusions as to where I'm going with it...

So, I go back to last weekend. Saturday night, I took the boys to a demo derby in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Something I noticed is that they had the Canadian flag hanging alongside the American one. And when we stood for the anthem, they sang ours first.

I was honestly surprised. I looked around, waiting for the reaction, and there wasn't one. Just respect, followed by cheers. Given the state of North American affairs right now, and how much the media tries to convince us that Americans are the enemy, it touched me.

I've spent a lot of time in Northern Idaho throughout much of my life. And what I can tell you is that these are some of the kindest, salt of the earth people I have ever met. Many of them would literally give you the shirt off their backs.

One night when our vehicle broke down and we were trying to find a room, owners of motels were offering to come pick us up and even set up beds so we had a place to sleep even though their motels were full. And on this particular night, my bank card wouldn't work at the grocery store and three men, including the cashier, had their wallets out offering to pay for my order, literally within seconds.

You know what else. This is Republican country. Big time.

Jump ahead to later in the week, a teacher who I've learned a lot from and have looked up to in many ways posted a video on social media about the fear of Republicans becoming n***s. It made me instantly feel sick to my stomach.

This person is positioned as a leader with thousands and thousands of followers. Huge communities of followers. Teaches about love, acceptance, unity, and non-judgment. And in this one post, this one moment, all I felt, right to the sickness in my core, was division, alienation, and hate.

I felt shocked. Angry. Sad. Maybe even betrayed.

The very next day, Charlie Kirk was murdered.

It shook me harder than I ever could have imagined.

I want to be clear. I'm not a Republican or Democrat. I'm not left or right, or Liberal or Conservative. I'm not a Trump supporter, nor am I a hater. And the same goes for Charlie.

But I have watched a lot of Charlie Kirk content. I've seen the discussions and debates, even the ones being madly cherry-picked and quoted out of context.

Charlie was a disruptor, a challenger. And he did it in a way that was respectful and intelligent. I personally have not agreed with everything that Charlie said. But I always admired his approach and the way he got me to really think about big, complex things.

I've always felt that we need more Charlies. Not in belief and ideologies, but in approach, in the ability to have uncomfortable conversations and respectfully debate opposing points of view. Because it's in those spaces - if we're willing to be open and get curious - that we can actually learn, grow, and maybe even gain new perspectives. That simply doesn't happen by sitting in communities where we surround ourselves with people who only think the way we do. Who only see the world the way that we do.

Some of these are the ones celebrating his death, or justifying it. Like he deserved it because of his beliefs. I honestly appreciate the clarity this has given me because I know, without any doubt, that these are not the communities where I belong.

I feel like there's a bigger point here being missed. Maybe it's not about choosing sides. Maybe that's the exact fu***ng problem. That everyone feels this great need to be on a side and as soon as we do that, we've become superior to the other. Whether we want to admit to it or not. And it doesn't matter what side you choose, it's the same evil at the top.

They don't care who you choose. They just want you to grab on to that side and not let go. Because that's how they divide, control, and conquer. We're all playing into it beautifully, aren't we?

The thing is, I do not give a s**t who you vote for. I don't care what your political ideologies are, or if you meditate, or if you're spiritual or Christian, or how much yoga you do or how many enlightened experiences you have, how many books you've wrote or retreats you've led. I don't fu***ng care.

I want to know if you're kind. I want to know how you'll behave when someone is down. Especially if they're different than you. How do you show up when life gets hard? Who do you become when things get uncomfortable? What really shows when the mask slips? I want to see if your words align with your actions. I want to see if you really put words like love, diversity, and inclusivity into practice, especially among people who are seemingly opposite of you.

I want to see if you're still in touch with your humanity. The rest of it? It does not matter.

I choose humanity.

I support humanity.

That's it.

Ram Dass had it right: love everyone and tell the truth.

🔥👣🔥 I won't be firewalking. Here's why. 🔥👣🔥

I have said that I want to have a firewalk in November, yet every time I try to plan and organize it, I'm met with hard resistance. So I had to slow down, sit with it, and get curious.

What came up is everything around the current wildfire burning out of control only a few kilometres away from my home.

Currently, my home is safe. We also know how unpredictable these events are and how quickly things can change. My dad, brothers, uncle, and an incredible crew of men and women have been up there working on the fire non-stop.

There's this sense in my heart of hearts that now is not the time to plan a firewalk when my family and other firefighters are out there every day risking their lives to keep us safe. When I'm praying every day that the winds don't shift, that we don't lose our homes and our community. When I'm feeling the grief of lands forever changed that I've been connected to my entire life. Forests that generations of my family have been tending to and caring for.

Now is not the time. Not yet.

I've had a relationship with fire my entire life and she has been one of my greatest friends, allies, and teachers. Fire is the alchemist, and fire always heals.

What I really know is that we do not force fire. She will let me know when the time is right.

So, I will wait. And allow life to unfold, with immense prayers and feelings in my heart. Because really, it's the only way 🔥❤️🔥

Held in circle, dare to go deeper on a journey into the raw, real, hidden, and true. A sacred container for real voices and stories; a seasonal descent into the mystery of who we are. No performance. Only presence.

Join us for this women’s circle series running once a month from Fall Equinox in September to Winter Solstice in December. Unlike a drop-in gathering, this is a closed group committed to journeying together over the season. And this is done to create a deeper sense of trust, safety, and depth. Each month, we’re creating a spacious and sacred container strong enough to hold our authenticity, honesty, vulnerability, and the kind of conversations that don’t happen on the surface.

Together, as we move toward the dark half of the year, we’ll explore the descent into our own shadows — not as something to fear, but as a place of truth, freedom, and ultimately, light. Exploring questions like: do we know what we really want? Are our desires aligned with our hearts and souls, or shaped by ego and outside expectations? What roots lie hidden beneath what we see? We’ll sit with whatever comes up, and we will hold space for whatever wants to unfold.

Every month will be different and will flow with the group’s needs and desires. Each circle will include a mix of teaching, reflection on the astrological and energetic themes of the moment, guided meditation, ritual or ceremony, and a salt bowl offering. There will always be space for sharing, though never any pressure to do so. Our first gathering begins with setting intentions and opening ourselves to the journey ahead.

I bring many years of experience holding circles and weaving together practices and modalities, and I see this work as an art — holding space for each woman to arrive just as she is, without expectation or performance. Only presence.

✨️ Hope & Hard Truths ✨️

I tend to be an idealist in life. It’s something that gives me a sense of hope, optimism, and purpose. It’s actually a deep root of what makes me, me.

Being an idealist doesn’t come without its challenges. Especially when ideals come in crashing and clashing with reality.

Enter this summer.

I’m a boy mom with an adventurous spirit. My boys and I have done really incredible things together, everything from hiking and mountain biking adventures to traveling solo in the Philippines for a month.

As my boys grew older and started coming into their teenage years, I had this ideal that things would get easier, and we would continue to go on so many more epic adventures together. I came into the summer with plans for camping, hiking, and biking trips. Feeling the emotion of how quickly my boys are becoming young men, knowing that the days will come where they will want to do their own thing. I intended to relish every single moment that we had together.

And what happened is that my ideals got burned to the ground. It was a hard summer, and the adventures that we did have were certainly not epic, at least by my ideal’s standards.

I watched my near-young men begin to pull away. I heard them tell me that they no longer enjoyed many of the adventures that they used to, and that they no longer want to do them. I experienced the misery of being out on a trail that they absolutely did not want to be on. It was not fun. And for me, it’s honestly been a little heartbreaking.

The reality that I was facing no longer matched my ideal. It was not what I expected; I didn’t see it coming and I wasn’t prepared for it. And it’s taken a lot for me to reconcile and make peace with it.

I’d observe the other families on the trails and in the campgrounds, seeing other kids their age having fun and enjoying themselves, and I’d find it hard not to question myself. Sinking into doubt and mother guilt, wondering where I went wrong. But in that, also observing something else. The kids out there with fake smiles. The kids out there that were unquestionably miserable on the inside and yet, sucked it up on the outside.

I had to remind myself of the boys I intend to raise. I always want them to be true to themselves, think for themselves, question authority, never just follow along, and never be afraid to speak up.

That’s exactly what they were doing. They are so much of what I raised them to be and right now, they are disagreeing with me. They are asserting their individuality. They are trying to figure out who they are in this crazy world as they come of age.

Let’s add in the combination of a boy in his mid-teens with a mom in her mid-40s. Talk about a hormonal Molotov cocktail. Actually. Some days, it’s brutal. Near unbearable. And it’s also just one more stage and flavour of life.

I often avoid saying, “This too shall pass,” because it certainly can have dismissive or avoidant qualities tied to it. But, it’s also true. It shall pass. There’s comfort in that knowing, while also being in the hardness of it all. Allowing the emotions and feelings to surface. Just simply being in it.

Because I too am finding a new way in all of this. There are all kinds of new pathways emerging here for all of us. I’m reminded just how uncertain life is and that all we can really do is surrender to the mystery and be here now.

I’m reminded to keep my ideals in my heart, but not to hold on to them too tightly. To set a boundary between my own ideals and expectations.

I’m also reminded that as one chapter closes, another one begins. And in my capacity as a spiritual being in a human body, I can choose to feel it all. The pain, longing, and nostalgia that comes with the ending, and the joy, excitement, and anticipation that comes with the beginning. I can choose to keep a sense of curiosity and wonder. I can choose to be in awe as I participate in the beautiful and mysterious unfolding of life. And I can choose to trust that it’s happening in the way that it’s supposed to.

Parenting, life, being human. It sure isn’t easy. But I believe that it’s worthwhile. Even during the times that it takes a while for us to be able to see it. Maybe especially during those times.

The picture that accompanies my writing was taken during our annual Kananaskis camping and hiking trip this summer. It’s always been something we look forward to, and we’ve made unforgettable memories out there. This year was different. We didn’t go on a single adventure I had planned or hoped. We came home early. It was probably the last time we will be out there as a family unit in quite some time.

I’ll cherish the memories, I’ll continue to adventure in my own way, I’ll look forward to discovering new paths forward as a family, and I’ll continue to encourage my boys to grow into the young men that they are meant to be. Even when it doesn’t align with my ideals.

Whether you’re a parent or not, whether you’re in a challenging stage of life or not, all we can do is enjoy where we’re at, even if we have to search really hard for the glimmers, while also keeping an eye on the horizon and continuing to move forward, one step at a time.

None of us have the answers; we’re all just out here winging it. That knowing certainly helps me take life a little less seriously. And sometimes, that’s all that we need.

Hugs, xo,
Danette

Join Danette Polzin of Wild Woods Wellness and Family Constellations Facilitator Michelle Hunt for a magical, heartfelt full moon ceremony on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake. Immerse yourself in the elements, experience the heart-opening medicine of cacao, connect to your ancestral lineages, and give to and receive from the fire in whatever way you need, with an optional lake dip at the end!

We bring years of facilitation experience, weaving together practices and modalities with the art of holding space. We’ll guide you through a heart-full connection to the sacred plant medicine of cacao. (Our cacao is ethically sourced and supports women in a village in Guatemala.)

Michelle will share an ancestral meditation with you, helping you connect to your ancestors and begin to understand the hidden influences of your lineage. Although we will not be immersing in a full Family Constellations experience, Michelle will share about this “language of the soul” and how the experiences of your ancestors impact your life today.

In this heart- and soul-expanded space, we will turn to the fire. As a Certified Sundoor Firewalk Instructor, Danette will share fire teachings and lead you through an offering and ritual to both give and receive with the light, medicine, and power of the fire.

We intend to wrap up the evening by 8:30pm, but will stick around and have a lake dip for those who want to join us for the ultimate cleanse and refresh under the fiery Aries moon.

The Details:

Monday, October 6 | 6:30pm to approx. 8:30pm | On the East Shore of Kootenay Lake about 10 minutes past Twin Bays

One of my favourite stories is of the Magical Kitchen in Don Miguel Ruiz's Mastery of Love. He asks us to imagine a magical kitchen in our homes where we can have any food from any part of the world in any quantity any time we want. We just wish it and it appears at our tables.

We are generous with our magical kitchen and share and feast with whoever comes to our door. Because this magical kitchen is so amazing, why wouldn't we want to share it?! We share because it's a pleasure to do so and we do it without expecting anything in return.

One day this person shows up at your front door with a pizza. He says he'll give you his pizza as long as you do whatever he wants you to do. He'll keep bringing you pizza every single day as long as you are good to him. You're likely going to laugh at his outrageous request.

Why on earth would you accept this offer when you have this magical kitchen? In fact, you'll invite him in to join in the pleasure of all that your magical kitchen has to offer. But you're certainly not going to be manipulated by his pizza.

Now let's step back and reverse this situation. No more magic kitchen. Several weeks have went by and you have not eaten a thing. You're starving. The same person shows up at your door with a pizza. He'll give you the pizza as long as you do what he wants. You decide to accept and do whatever the person asks of you. And once you have some, he lets you know that if you want more, you can have more, as long as you keep doing what he wants you to do.

Here you are with food today, but you don't know if you'll have food tomorrow so you keep doing whatever you need to do in order to have food. You become a slave to this person and his or her pizza.

You get into this space where you feel like what will you do if you don't get the pizza. You drive yourself crazy thinking about what might happen if this person decides to give YOUR pizza to someone else. So, you keep doing exactly what that person expects of you in hopes that your food supply never dries up.

So, what does this magic kitchen and the pizza have to do with mastery of love? EVERYTHING! Our hearts, our love, is the magic kitchen. Yet so very often, our relationship with love is one of starvation and need. We're not even aware that inside of us, we all possess a magic kitchen of love. We never need to settle for someone's s**tty pizza. A pizza we can only acquire through manipulation and control.

We can easily fall into this trap of feeling so starved for love, that we'll do anything to get it. We'll let other people tell us what to do and how to be so they will keep loving us because we don't recognize our own self-worth and the immense amount of love that lives inside of us. Love should NEVER be conditional.

Our work is to open our hearts, recognize our magical kitchens of love, and love ourselves so madly that we will never accept love with conditions. You can open your heart and share your love freely without fear of being hurt. Because you are worthy of love, you are MORE than good enough, and someone else's rejection doesn't define your self-worth.

Love, acceptance, value, worth — these are all things that come from within us. No one can give those things to you. You don't want to be clinging to someone because your life has no meaning without them. That is not a healthy relationship with self. And you certainly want to be with the person who "wants" to be with you, not "has" to be with you.

When your heart is open and you love yourself, you no longer seek out love because you are afraid to be alone. Love becomes a choice. You can accept the unconditional love that you want and have no problem walking away from the conditional love that is not right for you.

Don Miguel ends the Magical Kitchen chapter by saying, "Selfishness comes from poverty in the heart, from the belief that love is not abundant. We become selfish when we believe that maybe tomorrow, we won't have any pizza. But when we know our heart is a magical kitchen, we are always generous, and our love is completely unconditional."

I encourage you to tap into your magical kitchen starting today and revolutionize your relationship with yourself, and love.
(Side note - I took this photo at a cafe in Mexico City the morning before heading to The Dreaming House in Teo...I know it was near the Zocalo, but I'm not sure if I could even find it again! It was a great cup o' love though ❤️)

Massage isn't just about rolling around people's muscles and an opportunity to make money. For me, it's SO much more than that.

I actually never envisioned myself in massage. But then through my own healing journey, I couldn't deny the relationship between my physical body and my mind, emotions, and energy. I could see the direct relationship between things like stored trauma and repressed emotions and physical pain. And this is why I completed my training.

When you get a massage with me, we're not just working on your sore shoulder or aching hip. It's so much more. It's a labour of love. And, again for me, the love has to be there because it truly is labour.

I'm sharing the piece below, written by a woman named Keysha of K & A Massage Therapy because it touches on so many important points that many massage professionals don't speak, but live, work, and feel. Thank you Keysha for taking the time to bring this into form 💜

Massage therapy isn’t easy.

This work — this calling — is more than just helping someone relax.

It’s physical. It’s emotional. It’s soul work.

Every day, we show up and give parts of ourselves to help others heal.

We carry your pain — sometimes literally in our hands, sometimes silently in our hearts. Our backs ache, our joints swell, and our energy runs low … but we stay grounded, focused, and present — because we know the power of this work.

What people don’t always see is what it takes to hold space for someone’s healing:

- To feel the tension of trauma trapped in their muscles
- To hear the tears hit the floor when the body finally lets go
- To witness someone rediscover their breath, their range of motion, their sense of peace
- To remain calm and regulated while someone else unravels
- To manage our own stress, exhaustion, grief, or pain — so we don’t pour it into you
- To spend our off hours stretching, icing, and soaking so we can show up for you again tomorrow
- To feel someone’s pain and still be gentle
- To absorb the weight of stories we’ll never repeat, but always carry

And then there’s what we endure behind the scenes. We get asked if we “give extras.” We get laughed at or sexualized when we say we’re massage therapists. We get called “masseuses” — a word that feels like nails on a chalkboard, rooted in outdated and exploitative views.

We are professionals. We are trained, educated, and ethical practitioners. We are not here for entertainment. We are here for healing.

And that healing?

It’s not just about the body.

It’s the woman with chronic pain who can finally sleep through the night.

It’s the man with PTSD who feels safe enough to close his eyes.

It’s the mom who carries the weight of the world, but finally feels held herself.

It’s the client who comes in disconnected — and leaves back in their body.

Yes, this job is hard. It hurts. It drains. It costs us more than people realize.

But it’s also beautiful. Transformative. Sacred.

So when you come to us, remember:

You’re not just booking a massage.

You’re not just paying for an hour on the table.

You’re paying for years of training, body strain, emotional labour, and deep compassion.

And we are damn proud of what we do.

You’re stepping into a space where real healing happens — for you, and often, for us too.

Summer can be a time when our bodies get really worn down. If you’re feeling this and could use some TLC, I have one 60 or 90-minute massage opening this Tuesday, August 12 at 11am. My studio is located upstairs in the family practice building so centrally located in Creston.

You can opt for relaxation, deep-tissue, or something in between, and in my sessions, I use an all-natural arnica-infused pain butter to promote deeper relaxation, reduce pain and inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process.

The session fee is on a sliding scale of $110-$130 for 90 minutes (or $85-105 for 60 minutes) so you choose what you pay within that range. Please note that I do not direct bill and I am unregistered so if you have a benefits plan, you need to check with your provider directly to see if they will reimburse you.

If you want this Tuesday spot to be yours, send me a direct message to book in!

Mid-summer greetings my friends!

Summer is always a wild time for me, and you likely know that my social media often gets quiet.

As a fiery woman and sacred keeper of the fire in this season of the fire, both seasonally and astrologically, I have to work to temper the flames so I don’t burn right out. That’s not always easy for me, because I want to do ALL THE THINGS!

So, social media takes a back seat. But I wanted to pop on to say hello and share some insights and a look ahead.

Summer energy is always intense, but this summer feels especially so. We’re coming in hot to an Aquarian full moon that has not sat in this degree since 1957. Right after that full moon, the Soviet Union heightened Cold War tensions with the launch of the R-7 ICBM missile and Sputnik, which was also the beginning of the “space race.”

You’d also have to live under a rock to not come across talk of the Lion’s Gate Portal, which is said to take place on August 8. I’m a bit of a stickler on this — maybe a traditionalist, if you will — because the true Lion’s Gate is when Sirius perfectly aligns with the Sun, Earth, and Orion. This never happens on the same date and is also dependent on where you live in the world. It can take place anywhere from the end of July to end of August.

That said, in modern times, August 8 was decided to be the date to pay homage to this powerful, ancient time of ritual and in that, there’s a huge amount of collective energy poured into this date. And it’s numerologically significant as 8/8. So, there’s ample good energy to tap into regardless of its astrological and astronomical inaccuracies.

What this all means — with Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron retrograde and the Schumann Resonance often off the charts — is that s**t is pretty wild right now! In the context of tarot, it’s like we have The Tower and Wheel of Fortune playing together, and they can be touching every single aspect of your life, maybe all at once.

I’m feeling it, that’s for sure. What I can say is to tune into your body and intuition and listen. Trust. If you need to slow down and rest or cancel commitments, do it. If you need to take care of yourself and change your routines and practices in the process, do it.

Trust what is falling away. Allow empty space. Feel discomfort. Be okay with not knowing.

I have not felt a great sense of clarity for all of this year.

But sometimes, even in the fog, life calls us to step, even when we’re not sure what’s underneath our feet.

As August rolls in, I feel growing awareness of fall being around the corner, and I’m hearing the inquiries from some wondering what is coming next. I’ll be honest, I don’t have a lot of solid answers to that right now. But here’s what I can share that is in the works:

🏹 Sacred Arrow Break Circle at the Abundance Fair in Kimberley on Saturday, October 18

🔥 Firewalk in Slocan this fall; we’re just trying to find the right location

🔥 Firewalk in Creston this fall; it is tentatively planned for Samhain on Saturday, November 1

🏹 🌀Sacred Arrow Break Circle in Creston this fall, and an in-person Women’s Circle series

Stay tuned for more details on all of this and more. And in the meantime, you can certainly come see me in my studio for a massage or energy session. I’m still here, even though I have been quiet!

I hope that your summer has been full of glimmers and beautiful moments amongst the real, raw, mess that is this world right now.

Much love, xo
Danette

A Journey Like No Other...

Lightworker, Wild Woods Woman, Warrior of the Heart: Bridging Mind, Body, and Soul with Earth and Spirit

My journey into the spiritual world began at a young age. I always identified with a greater universal energy as a child. I have led quite an extraordinary life in many ways, right from the moment I was conceived. It is a story unlike many others, and the stories slowly make their way to pages that will eventually fill a book.

I was incredibly blessed as a young child to grow up in a family that was deeply connected to the land. My childhood memories include having pet squirrels (that were brought home as rescued babies), holding “memorials” for dead birds found on my grandparents’ farm, watching my grandmother bottle feed fawns, and touching noses with a young black bear through a sheet of glass at our family’s backcountry cabin. A cabin where we spent weekends, celebrated birthdays, and lived off the grid before living off the grid was a thing.

I have spent more hours of my life in the backcountry than I could attempt to even guess. My dad and extended family gifted me with a love and understanding that I never fully grasped how important and meaningful it was until just a few years ago.

Like many of you, as the years went by, I experienced events in my life that caused me to close off from my gifts and disconnect from my intuition. But then I had a spiritual awakening. It all came back to me and I headed down a path of great healing.

I have spent a lot of time healing through all kinds of modalities, from reiki and crystal healing to ascension and warrior goddess workshops. In 2017, I was finally ready to recognize my calling as a healer, my soul’s path through many, many lifetimes. I built up the divine love and light within myself and knew it was time to share that with others.

The first step was achieving my Level 2 Shamballa Energetics & Reiki Practitioner training. I trained with Judith Ahnika Paul, one of the most beautiful, wisest souls I've ever encountered. Judith helped me to reinforce what was already inside of myself. In 2018, I furthered my training and became a Usui Reiki Master Instructor with my amazing mentor, healer, and friend, Angela McPherson.

In September 2018, I also completed my Level 1 Warrior Goddess Facilitator program in the Sedona desert where I walked on fire. I trained personally with Heatherash Amara, and her teachings are rooted in ancient Toltec wisdom, which has been largely re-introduced to the masses through Don Miguel Ruiz and his family (Four Agreements, Mastery of Love, Wisdom of the Shamans, etc). The Toltec teachings are guiding principles in much of my work.

While in Sedona completing my Warrior Goddess training, I was blessed to meet Sarah Marshank, another amazing soul who authored the book, Being Selfish, and developed a modality called Selfistry. From there, I immersed myself in Selfistry with Sarah and a small cohort, a journey and relationship I look forward to furthering in the years to come. I have also participated in a Shamanic Priestess Apprenticeship, as well as other magical teachings that honour ancient cultures and the ancestral roots of our earth and land.

In 2019, I completed Warrior Heart Facilitator training with HeatherAsh Amara and 2020 has so much more learning and magic on the horizon. I completed Raynor Massage Therapist training and I will be going deeper into the wisdom of Selfistry with Sarah Marshank in Mexico!

All of my learning to date has helped me continue to bring forward and strengthen my gifts in energy healing, crystal healing, oracle card reading, earth wisdom, plant medicine, and simply being an intuitive empath in these often challenging and chaotic times in the collective consciousness as we prepare for the Golden Age.

Continually immersing myself in a variety of teachings and weaving together different modalities is very important to me, as I believe we best serve ourselves and others when we don’t limit ourselves to one way of thinking, being, and doing. Having the ability to keep expanding and weaving allows me to help people of all backgrounds, genders, and age groups.

Energy, healing, and spiritual connection is a part of my everyday life and it ignites my passion when I’m able to share my gifts on a professional level. I answered the call to relocate Violet Flame and return to my roots in my hometown of Creston, BC where I live on an acreage in the forest. A personal journey of hardship and struggle, that included everything from health problems to divorce to job loss, led to profound growth and transformation, which ultimately brought me to this time and place.

I have reclaimed myself and aligned with my calling as a lightworker, wild woods woman, and warrior of the heart. I honour the ancestors, grandmothers, others, sisters, and women who walked before me, and bring forward their ancient wisdom and my own inner knowing and whole-hearted commitment to help others on my path to expansion.

And I invite you to join me.

The Modern Medicine Woman

The Medicine Woman is a powerful female archetype that has been carried through many cultures, centuries, and geographic areas. An archetype that has been forgotten, buried, and shamed.

The Medicine Woman is an archetype that covers many modalities and belief systems.

An archetype that is ready to return with the rise of the women of New Earth.

The Modern Medicine Woman pledges to honour the ancestors, grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and women who walked before her. She brings forward their ancient wisdom and knowings—the ancient divine feminine—to help with the expansion of individuals, communities, the collective, 5D, and beyond.

I invite you to read this beautiful article about the Modern Medicine Woman, who she is and where she comes from.

“The Medicine Woman is one of the most forgotten and suppressed female archetypes in human history. She is the wise woman, the visionary or the seer, the oracle, the shaman, the priestess, the nature witch among many other possible manifestations.

The Medicine Woman holds the gifts of energy healing and expanded consciousness. She sees the past and future and sees deep into the hearts of others. Her passion is to serve and restore harmony, balance and healing to humanity and the Earth.”
