About me

Warm Welcome to Heartland ~

I am a Celtic Shamanic Practitioner & Teacher, Counselor and Reiki Master located by Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California. 

I was initiated into shamanism over a decade ago while living on the west coast of Ireland. To heal from major life changes and a dark night of the soul I was guided to study and train intensively in counseling psychotherapy, shamanism and Irish archaeology with a special focus on ecotherapy and mindfulness for mental health. It was a great privilege to learn with shamans, healers and renowned academic experts in Irish history immersing myself in the ancient realm of celtic mystical dream-time and the numinous landscape of myth, grass, sea and stone. Spending hundreds of hours walking the hills, visiting ancient sites and absorbing the energy, the awen and ancient memory of the land healed my longing to feel connected to nature and to my own indigenous ancestral spiritual heritage that birthed my life's higher calling.

Drawing on a lifetime of personal experience, I bring the embodiment of empathy and understanding to my practice as a wounded healer. I am passionate about supporting others to find empowerment, clarity and connection with the greater web of life and their life purpose.  I integrate emotional, mental and spiritual health utilizing earth-based shamanism (earth + nature) and spiritual psychic energy healing (sky + spirit) to support on a deep and holistic level.

I work with women to support the unfolding of their gifts and healing our connection with earth and body through the elements and celtic medicine wheel. The heroines journey, dark night initiations, rites of passage, ancestral healing, psychic energy clearing and evolution of the souls path are predominant themes of my work. I specialize in women’s wisdom and empowerment, rewilding the soul shamanic practitioners training, one to one healing sessions with trauma informed counseling.

Through many decades of experience and my soul initiation I discovered the path that I was meant to walk - the Golden Path of the Shamanic Way- to be a rainbow bridge between earth-body and spirit through my Heart.

I was given the name "Precious Vision of the Heart" in 2000 by Thich Nhat Hahn, world renown Zen master of mindfulness, and am devoted to fulfilling my dharma to heal our current crisis of heart separation. My life's work is to bring the sacred in Nature back as if our lives depended on it, because it does.  As we Re-member our interconnection with all life we heal ourselves and we heal the world. As within, so without. 

I invite you to join me in waking up to the precious Nature of Yourself and our Earth.
