Shamanic Energy Healing
Integrative Wellness Coaching From the space of the heart, the landscape of the soul is revealed.

This page is intended to inspire, bring connection and joy, and to give a little nudge to step onto the transformational path. We're all in this together...

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. "And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to bloom."

“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. 💦🌈🙏🌈💦

A few of my favorite herbal medicines, either grown in our garden or collected in the wild…red clover, St. John’s Wort, echinacea, sage, calendula, passion flower. Just looking at them makes me feel good. 😊

California white sage, Salvia apiana, is native to Southern California and Mexico, and threatened by over-harvesting to sell as smudge sticks and smudge “kits”. Try growing your own…it’s easy in southwest desert climates, and is hardy to 20 degrees. It can even be grown indoors with enough sunlight and the right soil.

“We do not sell white sage. If you need it as a medicine and we have it, we’re going to give it to you. We discourage selling medicine plants, spiritual plants, because we don’t know if the person collected them in a good way, with a good heart. But if you have white sage growing in your own back yard, you would know because you would be taking care of it.” – Barbara Drake, Tongva Elder

I have it growing in our backyard, for our own use, and for gifting its medicine.

“I pray to the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward. I pray to them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day... the invocations and benedictions of Earth. I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And at the end of my prayers, they teach me how to listen.”
~ Terry Tempest Williams

"As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others."
~ Marianne Williamson

🙏🏽 Honoring water 🙏🏽

💦May the natural cycles of water return.
💦May the waters be pure.
💦May the oceans be protected.
💦May the rains come to the dry lands.
💦May we be fluid like water.
💦May the waters wash us clean.

The sunrise this morning inspired me. It’s the dawning of a brand new day, a new age, a new consciousness. Wisdom is rising with the sun. ✨☀️✨

Centerpoint
✨🔹✨
Sometimes
at the ragged edges
of an unruly world
when life feels undone
there is a quiet
centerpoint
in which to dance
your unbound prayers.
~ Molly Remer
