My healing and coaching practice is for people who want to shed everything and anything that stands in the way of a joy-filled, vibrant, authentic life. It is for those who aspire to achieve optimum health and wellness of body, mind, heart

and spirit, who are looking for purpose and meaning, and who long to awaken to their highest potential. The path to peace, joy, freedom, wholeness is short: from the thinking mind/head, to the feeling heart; from thought-centered to heart-centered. The journey can seem endless and tortuous, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and it is so worth the trip. You don't need to go it alone. I would love to work with you to develop an individualized plan that includes wellness and life coaching, or energy healing, or a combination of both. Sessions are in person at my home or by phone.

“Offerings: The Way of the Andean Despacho Ceremony” is a little book I created during the pandemic, with a whole lot of design and tech help from my talented artist daughter-in-law, Jessica Swift. It is now available on Amazon. Though I’m in no way a professional writer or photographer, I wanted to share this simple and beautiful ceremonial practice that I learned from Peruvian shamans and my Andean medicine teachers.

I found ceremony to be personally empowering and healing over some very challenging years. I hope wherever it lands, it will inspire readers to find ways to incorporate ritual and ceremony into everyday life, and nurture a sense of connection and belonging.

Rain has transformed the hills here where we live, even the little creeks are flowing, tiny miracles after a long drought.

Water is a metaphor for life. Water is our lifeblood, and teaches us about the quality of fluidity. I share this poem from Clarissa Pinkola Estes:

💦Rainmaker: you could be the water💦

By the scent of water alone,
the withered vine comes back to life,
and thus…wherever the land is dry and hard,
you could be the water;
or you could be the iron blade
disking the earth open;
or you could be the acequia,
the mother ditch, carrying the water
from the river to the fields
to grow the flowers for the farmers;
or you could be the honest engineer
mapping the dams that must be taken down,
and those dams which could remain to serve
the venerable all, instead of only the very few.
You could be the battered vessel
for carrying the water by hand;
or you could be the one
who stores the water.
You could be the one who
protects the water,
or the one who blesses it,
or the one who pours it.
Or you could be the tired ground
that receives it;
or you could be the scorched seed
that drinks it;
or you could be the vine,
green-growing overland,
in all your wild audacity…
~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

✨💦✨💦✨💦✨💦✨💦✨💦✨💦✨

My prayer is to be like water
flowing, moving through this life
bringing softness, strength, nourishment;
shaped
not held
by whatever is containing me as I pass through.

Over time
may this vessel that I inhabit begin to yield
changing form
edges smoothed by flowing, yielding grace.

May the waters of compassion quench our thirst
overflow into the rivers, lakes and oceans
ending suffering, restoring the heart.

Let us all be the rainmakers. 💦🌈🙏🌈💦
