About me and my Work

My primary abilities are in person, with the body and a person’s whole system, to feel and move energies, especially with singing bowls, vocal toning, intuitive singing, gongs, crystals, soft touch and mudras. Distance energy work can be effective as well! I also focus a great deal on introspection, symbolism, shadow work, consciousness, and expanding experience beyond perceptions of 3D incarnation.

The sounds, card readings, inquiries, feelings in the body, are all techniques to bypass conditioning and mental processes that limit our experience or block information. They open up pathways and receptivity. This is in part why each person's experience is different. It's based on where you're at and where you're willing to go, where you need to go.

Thinning the Veil is all about "the inside passages." The idea is to move into a state where perceptions bend, shift. Where traumas and gifts are buried. Beliefs are challenged. (Belief systems need regular cleaning and updating!) Intuition is nurtured. Messages received. Prayers sent. Self awareness is broadened. Self feeling deepened. Self love cultivated. Blind spots revealed. We develop connections with the more than human beings all around us, both in the 3 dimensional world and what might be called the spirit worlds or other dimensions. I am particularly fond of the Fae and Devas! It's quite a gift when we connect with our greater being that we may have never known existed, or had only glimpses.

Of course, in the case of severe trauma, some information is blocked for a good reason and it's not always wise to remember it. Certainly not if you're not ready and in the care of a proper therapist. So while I'll dive deep with you in most ways, I am very slow and cautious when I detect trauma triggers. If you're like I was, and many people I know, you may not even realize you have such traumas....

I do not have an agenda or prescription for you. I follow your lead and the guidance I receive. I have safeguards I invoke to protect you from my belief systems and needs. I don't project onto you. This is part of why I don't advertise being certified in particular techniques and lineages. It's kind of like, if you have a hammer, everything is a nail. I don't need you to have a particular condition that I can officially "treat." My practice is fluid and accesses what I need as I need it. If I can't help you with something, I'll say so. If I'm not sure, I'll say so and ask if you want to experiment. I don't need to convince or blame clients in order to protect my status. I can work in the gaps left by defined methodologies. It's an emergent practice where the unexpected has room to appear.

I do not identify as a healer, nor do I make big promises of healing you. But everything I do is in the service of healing and evolution. Neither am I a coach; this isn’t a hierarchical me-fixing-you to a determined outcome situation. I am a process person. An investigator and explorer. An intuitive Soul Diver. I call myself a Transformation Doula. Doula more or less means “woman who sits with you.” Like a birth doula, or a death doula. Why not a Transformation Doula? So I’m coining and claiming that one! Ha!

I mix magic and critical thinking. Verbal and nonverbal. Mostly I deal with “indirect methods” and non-physical realms. As in, I am not going to tell you which herbal medicine will heal your illness. I am not going to get you to start exercising or build a six figure income. I will ask you your intentions and offer energies, prayers and suggestions, but it’s up to you and your Soul what happens. A friend recently told me I gave him such big energy in a goodbye hug and telling him to “stay healthy” that he quit smoking. I did not set out to do that, but that is what he did with it. I played bowls for a woman to calm her down after a painful event, and a week later she told me it changed her whole energy and now has what she needs and it’s held for a couple of months now so far. Sometimes the work reveals trauma the client had no idea she had and can then find specific assistance for that. When I worked for a woman to help her with her land care, I found a neglected labyrinth and instantly knew that was key to supporting her, her land, her business. I focused on that and lots of things started to open up. She felt *so* much better when I completed my work. As I cleared the path of the labyrinth, my own path opened more. There is a lot to be said about clearing energies and pathways both inner and outer. Between the labyrinth and an intentional creativity rewiring course I took, this very webpage sprouted. Who knows what you will do for and with yourself as you uncover what is hidden, free your frustrations, tap your energy, follow your truth? Let’s find out!

I stay humble, curious, compassionate, neutral and resourceful. There will be no shaming or blaming or demanding. Prodding questions and suggestions, yes, lots of those. Looking for the *edges* of awareness and triggers. I don’t feed drama, but ask what is under the drama, which is a trigger of a wound needing healing. So sometimes I may have to gingerly cut your story short so we don’t get lost in it nor lost in thoughts and chatting. We need to be present in the sense of our focused awareness of what is in and around us, observant and receptive and open. A lot of talking obscures that kind of presence. It also easily falls into thought-form loops and “black holes” of false logic induced helplessness. Talking takes us out of our body, out of our energy pathways, cutting us off from all that wisdom, information and resources. So a balance is needed for multiple avenues of communication and interaction and stillness.

There will be no blowing you out in your trauma vortex. I learned from my Somatic Experiencing Practitioner how important it is to maintain presence with the prefrontal cortex (calm rational thinking mind) to help rewire rather than replay. I learned elsewhere that when we are in active trauma response, the Broca’s area of the brain shuts down. Our ability to speak is connected to that area. So it becomes actually physically difficult or impossible to speak when in trauma or reactivation of trauma. It is not your fault. This compounds the trauma further. (It leads to people not believing you, or making it seem like therapy is useless and you’ll always be broken.) Feel it to heal it yes, but only a little, not to the point of overwhelm or you’ll lose the navigation and the exit. The goal is to not re-traumatize you.

I do not require you to believe what I believe. I respect and honor your own wisdom and beliefs. I encourage you to develop and follow your own guidance. That is usually more fruitful than buying someone else’s perspective. I will however challenge your beliefs to help you clear confusion and stagnation or open to new ideas, expand your horizons. I don’t particularly subscribe to any lineage myself, but experiment with tools and insights I encounter. Rather, I am trying to bring in something new to get us unstuck. In other words, this is a dogma-free zone. I will do my best to be transparent about my beliefs and perspectives and how they affect my work, and if you don’t resonate with them, it may be difficult to work together; the work may not be for you at this time. But usually I can adapt and work with our differences and it will go smoothly. It’s essential that I meet you where you are.

I am here to help you with what I do for myself: see yourself more clearly and address unconscious influences; deprogramming, denial relief, and bursting unhealthy bubbles. Integrating the superconscious and the quantum nature of reality. Working with symbolism and metaphors and reflections and messages from beyond the “veil.” Disarming the cycles of trauma-drama-karma. Ancestral healing. Following intuition and guidance. Engaging Creative Imagination. Being true to our multidimensional selves and inviolable self and essential unity. Melting into loving relationships with Life and Living, Death and Dying. Being Present in the Now and the Process. Being a Sacred Witness. Sailing into the Great Mystery ~~~
