I am an artist and shamanic healing practitioner with extensive training in core shamanism. I am inspired by nature, creative flow, and transformational healing power which offers the renewal of life force.
I grew up in Liverpool Nova Scotia studying music and spending most of my time in the forest or coastline. I still require the intense energy and deep calm of the forest and sea. I have a rescue lovebird who sits on my shoulder as I paint.
I practice an embodied spirituality: enjoying my relationship with the earth through eating local food, breathwork, exercise, and making art. By uniting the masculine and feminine principles within, I channel spiritual energy on earth through art, my healing practice, and my life.
I see clients and students from my home clinic in Blandford, a wild and windy coastal community 45 minutes from Halifax. I lead teaching circles throughout the year and also train students privately for those with specific needs.
I run retreats and workshops with my business partner Kath Perry, specifically in women’s western wisdom combined with meditation and self awakening practices. To find out more about these please visit ancientpracticesforwomen.com.

Please contact me if you would like to book a session, inquire about a workshop, retreat, or art.
