From a tender age l was an Empath, an initiate, and a keen witness to the differences between unhealed and healed energy. I have always co-existed at the cusp of multiple realities and been a lone wolf within the family of origin. Holding to a fascination for dual time-tracks of ‘unseen’ or Visionary energy, and the reality of the ‘seen’ through the tangible and physical. My immediate environment assisted me in seeding the qualities of what it meant to be other-worldly adding to the nonlinear heart time that is my natural way of being. A moderator and mediator within coloured dynamics l was gifted with qualities of agility and attention to inner and outer landscapes of a situation and to the individual’s inherent energetic patterning and unique profiling.

Throughout the acquisition of my formal qualifications l worked directly with clients, in youth and eldership alike. l found that the nucleus engraved in my childhood and teenage years of direct life experience were bejeweled with insight, a rarer purview of necessary information and empowerment. In turn, this assisted to sharpen my Caretakership, my Shepard and Healers Lens all the more brilliantly thus keeping individuals alive, coherent and radically validated.

Professional life led me to fulfill the credentials of Tertiary Undergraduate and Post-Graduate qualifications in Psychology. Seeking greater alignment in working with the whole of the human experience l became a Transpersonal Art Therapist, also encompassing Sandplay and some Dance Therapy. I circulated my energy to select areas within the psychiatric hospital space and in intensive lines of providing crisis support in the mental health sector at large.

The diversity l sought included fulfilling intensive training in Complex Trauma as l worked with highly complex, dual diagnosis (mental health and substance dependence) and high trauma impacted individuals of all ages and demographics. I enjoyed Psycho Drama, Family Constellations and specific forms of Counseling, Crisis Counseling, and a host of training ascribed to working with Psychosis and what is termed Spiritual, Shamanic and Paranormal activity. I amply achieved working in every conceivable role in the Welfare Sector from Residential Rehabilitations to Creating and Coordinating Programs to Foster Care, as examples.

Simultaneously and beyond, in my deep hunger for the Spiritual Way of Being, l became submerged in further Spiritual and Shamanic Work and Training, Reiki, Kinergetics, Channelling, Divinations, and direct Shamanic initiations. Eventually traveling overseas and outside of Australia working and residing with a Diversity of Shamans from Mongolia, and in North and South America. These are rich peak experiences for me personally that are similar to the exhilaration of reaching the Summit of the Mount, a Holy Grail. Throughout formal and informal training and initiations with Shaman’s from North and South America and residing as a hired Shaman in Residence in a handful of cases in the USA and Australia. In this capacity l was assessing and assisting individuals and families with Spiritual Teaching, Spiritual and Shamanic Healing pertinent to their lives.

My current way of being with Clients is mainly in working on a one to one basis Session work outside of certain niche work such as Shamanic Business Support, House and Land Blessings, and Shaman in Residence work (TBA). My Passion and Strength for being submerged in energy work within Spiritual and Shamanic Life is what l refer to as a Calling. It is a Divine Calling. There are those who are Called but who do not answer that Call. Answering the Call is such that one embodies and lives that Destiny rather than being stalked by Destiny itself. The former is much more about being In Service to HUmanity and is extremely Sacred.

The intrinsic rewards for being a Facilitator for Healing and a Curator of Energy is entirely fulfilling and is My SHAMAN’S SWAGGER!

My wish is that Your SHAMAN’S SWAGGER leads You to the Inner Holy Grail that is both Your Divine Birth-Right and Ultimate Gift.

Always,
