I have been blessed to travel to my ancestral lands of Scotland and England, as well as live and experience the rich, diverse, and uniquely beautiful cultures of Mexico, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Tanzania, and India. Throughout these travels, I have learned different ways of seeing and understanding the world and its magic—from the land, its people, their cultures and languages, as well as many spiritual traditions including Christianity, Hinduism, yoga, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Wicca, and Shamanism.

To ground this spiritual exploration in a deeper understanding of the human experience, I sought formal studies in Western Medical Sciences, Anthropology, Teaching, Birth work, Chinese Medicine, Shamanic practice, Western Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda, and Clinical Yoga.

I offer my deepest gratitude to all of those people, places, and experiences that have brought me to where I am today, supporting my own growth and reinforcing the deep knowing that we are all spirit. I would like to offer special thanks to my Ancestors who, through immense resilience and will, continued to survive and grow; my partner and daughters who daily help me stretch and evolve; my many Teachers, especially Dr. Slate Burris, Lena, Jose and Anna Stevens, Lorie Eve Dechar, Benjamin Fox, Dr. Reuven Freesman, Dr. Jing Zhang, Ted van Hemert, Dr. Vinay Kamat, Peter Conway, and Malcom Clark; the wisdom ways of the Huichol, Shipibo,  and Q’ero peoples. As well as the ancient knowledge of my Norse, Celtic and Pictish Ancestors who have enriched my life and helped me tap into a deeper wisdom that my body still remembers; and above all else, Mother Earth, Great Spirit, and that piece of me that is spirit incarnate.

It is my deep belief that we are indeed all connected, and each of us holds a piece of spirit meant to light up this world. We are here to remember this truth of who we are. It is with great reverence that I offer you my unique blend of medicine, supporting you as you navigate the thresholds of your life, uncovering the lessons within the challenge and weaving them into your own unique tapestry.

When not in the clinic, with my family, or in nature, you will find me at Pacific Rim College, where I am an instructor in the Holistic Doula Program and a supervisor in the student acupuncture clinic.
