I use a combination of my life experience, guided by my intuition. Sometimes we may choose a divination tool like meditation or oracle cards to guide our insights into how best to support your healing. Often we will spend time discussing,  reviewing and planning. Sometimes we will talk about nutrition, or herbs or other therapies to use as adjuncts. I have 35 years in women’s health, but a lifetime of studying other traditions of healing and together we will figure out which tools are best for tuning in to yourself and reprioritizing your soul’s work. 

These sessions are best in person, but since we are all currently social distancing, I have been offering them over videoconferencing, such as FaceTime or Zoom.  

Conscious Conception

Conscious Conception is an integration of the science of reproductive endocrinology with a spiritual contract.  It is a sacred contract between your soul and your child’s soul.  The child who is meant to come to you from a contract that occurred before you were ever born! Many parents have an awareness of a bond with their child in utero.  Some may know them even before they are conceived.

What if it's possible to “call” your child to you?  The desire to have a child is so strong for some of us because we can hear their soul’s calling to us, at just the right moment, in its own time, in divine time.  

Conscious conception is a metaphor for a way to live that enriches your spirit. It is rooted in Wisewoman traditions, teaching simple practices that our ancestors would have used, that many have forgotten and are still effective.  It will become a way to live beyond creating your family.  You will find peace in the simple, meaningful exercises. You will connect with the time-honored rhythm of the feminine moon cycle as it interacts and harmonizes with all of life and the energy around us. The latest research in neuroscience supports the interrelationships of our hormones and their complex interaction with our environment, as well as our thoughts, feelings, and the surrounding energetic field. 

Engaging in a conscious co-creative process with a community of conscious women is empowering and affirming. The energy of creation is profoundly enhanced when spirituality is integrated with the process, and fun is reintroduced to making a baby!

Shamanic Healing

This ancient practice of spiritual healing that dates from 100,000+ years ago involves accessing other realms of Spirit for guidance, wisdom, and healing. The premise is that all conditions—emotional, mental, and physical—have an underlying spiritual cause. Shamanic practices include the shamanic journey to non-ordinary reality, spirit guides, power animals, and plant medicines. Shamanic healing may include a power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, and/or shamanic extraction as well as other healing ceremonies.

Shamans access spirit realms behind the veil and work with power animals and teachers there to help them help us on this side of the veil.  We journey for information, to request help from the spirits to solve a problem in our world and to work with the spirits on healing Mother Earth. 

When I add my practice of shamanism to my more “mainstream” medical knowledge, the healing potential is greatly expanded. It enhances how I see the patient and influences my options for treatment. It opens me to offer more plant medicine and more spiritual medicine, even as we look at what may be going on in the anatomy and physiology of the problem and what modern science may be able to offer us. It’s a model that is actually integrating body, mind and spirit.

Hormone Balancing

Hormones are chemicals that interact with organs, body systems and the environment to regulate and protect the individual from the challenges and disruptions of life. Be they physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual challenges, our hormones are designed to react.  Sometimes they overreact or misinterpret a signal from the brain or body.  It’s complicated for sure, but there are many approaches to supporting, correcting, and rebalancing the processes so that we can return to a balanced state and our greatest level of harmony.

Intuitive Tarot Readings

I use the cards as a tool for enhancing my intuition and helping me focus my energy on the question, mine or yours.  I am happy to apply myself to using the cards on your behalf if we decide that they would bring some clarity to the situation.  I see the energy of the cards as reflective of––rather than predictive for––the potential in a situation. I believe we always have free will and can choose our own destiny, though sometimes we are unclear in the present moment and often the energy of your card reading can help obtain clarity.  If they are revealing something to us, it’s our own inner truth which we have been unable to see.  The cards can be a prompt that stimulates our reflection and insight.
