WHO I AM
My life journey includes forty years in healing practice and teaching, spiritual study and adventure.
I am a founder, senior faculty member and consultant to the Northwest Academy of Homeopathy in Minnesota, which has trained professional homeopathic practitioners for 25 years through a four year post graduate program.
My shamanic studies began 25 years ago, and my teachers include Sandra Ingerman, Betsy Bergstrom, Michael Harner and the Faculty of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
My training in I Ching counseling and healing is through Carol A Anthony and Hanna Moog of the I Ching Institute, I have been a student of the I Ching for over 20 years.
I maintain a private practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota of classical homeopathy, shamanic healing and ceremony, and I Ching consulting, and teach classes in shamanism through Pathways to Healing in Minneapolis.
MY HEALING JOURNEY
Like Chiron, the wounded healer of Greek mythology, my path as a homeopathic, shamanic, and I Ching practitioner started with an illness of my own, a serious one that left me homebound for two years.
Homeopathy got my attention when it lifted this illness, helping me feel better in a few weeks time.
Shamanism brought vitality, helping me find the most joyful connection to the natural world and all that is, including the universe of compassionate helping spirits.
I Ching study brought me a grounded, clear way to navigate daily life.
Through engaging with these systems, my transformation was remarkable: not only did symptoms disappear, but I felt well, in harmony with myself, and experienced a sense of well being and energy that felt normal and natural.

MY PHILOSOPHY OF HEALING
My healing led to curiosity about what I had experienced, and this led me to deep study: I learned that most illness is the result of inner conflict caused by early wounding, physical, mental and emotional trauma, mistaken beliefs, lost of self and spirit, and the impact of inherited disease. I also learned that homeopathic principles of healing apply to all methods of healing:
The smallest effective dose of remedy or healing process gives the best result.
The goal is to heal in the most rapid and gentle manner, and the most rapid is usually the most gentle.
The healing process that is most similar to the illness itself is curative, any process that opposes the illness drives it more deeply into the person. My work is guided by these principles, the compassionate helpers of the cosmos, and the sage of the i ching. I work with people both new to their healing path and seasoned veterans who need help or clarity about particular challenges.
