My most influential teachers have been deeply connected to the Other World; they have taught me how to navigate and to listen to the voices of the unseen. These teachers include Elder Malidoma Somé, Tsaurirrikame Eliot Cowan, Deanna Jenné, Morda Kennedy, and the plants, ancestors, and elementals themselves.
(More about this here.)

I hold a Master of Divinity in Buddhist Studies from Naropa University. I studied with Elder Malidoma Somé and his community in Burkina Faso from 2009-2021, and have continued work with his village after his passing. I have held Dagara-style community grief rituals since 2015, with the blessing of Elder Malidoma. I completed the Grief and Death Studies training from the Center for Loss and Life Transitions. I co-create community ritual with the Community Grief and Gratitude Project.
​​
I offer one-on-one healing sessions, ritual consultations and active rituals, as well as energetic land tending and remediation, in person or at a distance.

I honor the traditions and people buried deep in the Rocky Mountain foothills I have called home for my adult life: Arapahoe, Ute, Cheyenne-- the vast majority of whom have been either displaced or erased from their ancestral homeland here in this region. Collectively honoring the native peoples of this land has thus far been painfully inadequate, as the oppression of indigenous peoples is ongoing. And how does one reconcile holding healing rituals from faraway traditions on land whose native traditions were subject to expulsion? I continue to strive to be in relational integrity with the wounded earth and peoples here, knowing that we have a long way to go towards reparations and reconciliation here on this land, and indeed this whole continent.
