professional
healing & energy teacher for 22 years
I’m honored to have held space for more than 4,400 students, clients, and community members in hundreds of classes, sessions, retreats, and ceremonies. as a 4th generation teacher, my body of work spans teaching energy healing to small groups of unhoused youth, and as an expert to 95,000 people at global symposiums.
in earlier years, I studied with well-known human teachers in the field of energy healing like francis rico, nan moss, david corbin, daniel foor, laurelle gaia, sandra ingerman, nicki scully, and serge kahili king.
as the decades have rolled by, my helping spirits in the unseen realms have become my main teachers and mentors. my spirits teach me daily, and show me how to work with healing energy in ways not often found here planetside.
it’s an honor (otter?) and a joy to help support the next generation of healers and those of us who have been in service for decades – kind oases are needed for us to gather, learn, share, and grow, and I can’t think of a better use of my human life than to help provide them.
my deep gratitude for this path, and for you.

book nerd, cat mom
favorite moment: nose buried in a book where magic walks the land, with a cat in my lap. (fun fact: qwill is on my lap as I’m typing)
way back when, I worked at bagel shops and art supply stores, managed 3 independent bookstores, taught 22,000 kids in public schools, and illustrated a book. I hold degrees with honors in biology and anthropology.
I’m an avid bibliophile, quilter, fierce devotee to cats, artist, lagoon enthusiast, born and bred trekkie, and lifelong student of the oracle. my travels have taken me to see calving glaciers, visit ancient jungle ruins, share reiki with horses, and swim with wild dolphins.
like you, I’ve got lots of stories. I look forward to sharing them, and remembering that our hearts are old friends.
