At heart I’m a wild child! Constantly exploring the next frontiers of this strange and fascinating multidimensional world we live in. I’m devoted to digging my feet into the mysteries of this beautiful Earth Mama and doing all I can to get to know her through getting to know myself. This inner drive to understand through a magical and mystical lens has resulted in several initiatations into the metaphysical healing arts. I began a deep dive into Reiki after experiencing a healing crisis in a ceremony under the redwoods of Mendocino in 2008. During this beautiful healing ceremony I unknowingly opened to the grief of the world and it was almost too much to bear. Two wonderful Reiki Masters took me under their wing and gave me a much needed energetic clearing and helped me come back to myself, my joy and my inner knowing that I too am a healer with the mission to help bring all manner of beings back to their unique and beautiful selves. Right away I took up a job at a crystal shop and began apprenticing as a crystal healer. Not long into this chapter of exploring and learning energetic healing, my path took a whole new route when I became the mother!
This magical itty bitty person changed my entire life and I fully embraced becoming a mama. Nurturing this little soul was all I did for years. Under the surface of blending spinach and peas, washing mountains of spit up blankets and sleep deprived nights I was diving deep into healing my own inner child and mending long tangled ancestral threads that I now could feel on a much deeper level. My inner compass directed me back to learning Reiki and in 2015 became a Reiki Master Teacher. I continued to study and was amazed at the way energy and vibration could bring so much life back to places that had felt list and forgotten. I studied to become a flower essence practitioner in 2016 and blended this wisdom in with what I could feel from crystals. My journey with Reiki continued my discovery of how intimately connected we are to the earth and cosmos that I started searching again for understanding in an ever deepening pool of spirit and mystery.
My path then lead me to the door of a shamanic healer and for a while I attended her journey nights where we sing and drum with the star ancestors. I loved everything about the shamanic teachings of the elders from this land and my ancestral land of Peru. I could hear my blood calling to me, to learn the traditions of my heritage. I watched every documentary I could get my hands on about the ancient lost wisdom. Through synchronicity or what I imagine it’s the bread crumbs left by my guides for me to follow, a meet up group in Berkeley found me. It was from a group called The Pachaquti Mesa Tradition. My now beloved teacher and friend was holding ceremonial space for those who wanted to learn to journey and discover cross-cultural Peruvian shamanism. When I saw her Mesa in the center of the room my heart jumped out of my chest and I could feel that I had done this before, only it was not in this current life… Perhaps one I’ve lived before. I jumped into this with my whole heart and have been evolving along side my own Mesa ever since. I apprenticed with my teacher and became an initiate of this facet of healing in 2019.
Then 2020 came through like a bowling ball and changed my life, like it did for so many of us. I had been looking for a change in career for a long long time. My whole working life I had been a preschool teacher. I would sink into a teaching position comfortably and stay in a school for a several years and then inevitably would feel this itch for something more. Something that was more in tune with who I was becoming. A place I could be my strange mystical self and not have to squish it into a box. When the school I had been teaching in closed their doors for the foreseeable future, I felt it was actually my guides finally tossing my cozy nest into the air and telling me it was time to fly already! All these healing tools in my belt and I wasn’t using them to my fullest. I knew it was time to open up to the community in a new way and offer the gifts I knew were unique and sang my heart’s true song.
Woven into this rich tapestry of self discovery I never stopped learning all I could. I soon realized that after almost a decade of studying on my own, through books, podcasts and studying my family’s charts up and down, I could read charts! It seemingly sparked into existence! Looking back I see just how long it took to get there. I always felt I needed to learn more, become a professional, get a diploma or a degree. What I realized is that all this knowledge was now part of me and I didn’t need any outside permission or paperwork to offer up what I know! It was the same with learning about the Akashic Field. I dove into studying them with passion. The patterns I was seeing where amazing to me. I could feel how important it was to weave these radically different tools together for deeper understanding of self. All the healing tools were coming together!
This leads me to today. Where now I fully embrace my zig-zaggy path and see that I have been a little spider weaving an elaborate tapestry of skills. Both ancient and modern, totally weird and inventive!
I am a Weaver of Light, and in ways that continue to fascinate my inner wild child and my outer adult alike, I blend and bend all I have come to know into a crazy amazing sculpture that delights and teaches me more about this beautiful mysterious world.
