My path to shamanism began many years ago. As a child, I would travel at night to other dimensions. Most in my family, a religious household, did not understand what I was experiencing. But one of my elders began to teach me about other spiritual realms, about how we inhabit both material and spiritual realities. Over the years, this training has always been an important investigation for me. I understand today how these experiences prepared me to travel to the spirit worlds known to shamans.​

​

The practice of shamanic healing began for me through one of my long time teachers, Jeffrey Yuen, a Daoist priest.  This training has helped me to gain a deep insight into the roots and foundations of Daoist practice from the Jade Purity Tradition.  He taught me not only the foundations of Chinese medicine but how to contact the other spirit levels.  I understood that there were ways to travel to these realms. Jeffrey has helped me to deeply learn how to create a space of healing.  And this training only led to greater questions.  

​

If others have been able to seek out questions about other dimensions, I sought out ways to do the same.  The Foundation for Shamanic Studies has been able to give me the tools to help me answer these questions.  The Foundation has given me a community where I can practice contacting both the reality of where I live and other dimensions.  I see all of our world and the other worlds as being filled with endless possibilities.  Through the Foundation’s teaching, my helping spirits give me strong support from the spiritual world for my healing work.  My soul is strengthened.   Other spirit realms exist and I have the opportunity to discover these myself.  I am so grateful to be part of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

As a guest teacher for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, founded by Michael and Sandra Harner, I offer classes in Portland, Oregon.  I have completed the Foundation’s Two Week Healing Intensive with Robbie Staufer and the Three Year Program of Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing with Susan Mokelke (August 2025).  Check out the Foundation's website: https://www.shamanism.org/

In addition to my shamanic healing practice, I am a faculty member at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon where I teach a wide variety of classes in the Chinese medicine program. I see patients in my private practice.
