Healing into connection with your true self:
Clarify what needs to be healed
Transform illness and confusion
Become who you are
Hello
I am a healer and teacher of healing methods that work.
My shamanic practice includes individual healing sessions, group classes in shamanic methods, anchoring drum circles and creating ceremonies for healing and celebration.
I have studied shamanism with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies beginning in 1997, and with noted teachers Betsy Bergstrom and Sandra Ingerman.
My work in classical homeopathy includes 40 years of practice, 30 of teaching, and co-founding a professional school. Learn more about Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy.
Additionally, I have studied and practiced methods of I Ching inquiry since 2002.
I find the three systems have seamlessly woven themselves together within me to form the principles and practices of my current work.

MY HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALING
Homeopathic and Shamanic methods for clarity and transformation.
CLARIFY
Clarify what symptoms get in the way of becoming yourself, through listening to what your body, psyche, mind and emotions tell us.
TRANSFORM
Transform illness and mistaken beliefs through freeing yourself from false understandings of yourself and the symptoms that hold you back. I Ching, homeopathic and shamanic methods aid in this process.
BECOME
Become who you are, connected to yourself with sincerity and respect, healed enough to “employ your reason-gifted mind” to create, build, heal, move, and to connect.
Divination processes deepen shamanic journey skills. Creating ceremonies help launch your intentions and projects. Become your own guide, starting from knowing your inner truth to build the life and world you want to live in.

“Val’s gracious acceptance of everything people bring to classes and ceremonies, her graceful strength helped lead me through. I trust her circles.”
