My Journey: Becoming a Healer/Medicine Woman/Mentor

We all have a story of why we are where we are. I want to share how I went from being an ESL teacher for kids to becoming a healer/medicine woman/mentor. I could never have imagined 20 years ago that this is what I’d be doing now.

I had my own business teaching English to kids whilst living in Chile for 8 years. I got sick there: mystery weight loss, exhaustion, digestive issues with no answers from the doctors. I was 34 and felt like I was 94!

I moved to Sydney, Australia to do my masters in ESL and got even sicker, lost more weight and needed toothpicks to keep my eyes open. The exhaustion was overwhelming. I don’t know how I made it through my masters program but I did.

Doctor visit after doctor visit, they came up empty-handed and in the end settled on ‘Irritable bowel syndrome and there is nothing we can do for you.”

I was NOT taking that as an answer and so my journey began with alternative healing. The Reiki I received in Chile had a profound effect on me. It was my saving grace whilst doing my masters. After graduating, I landed a job teaching kindergarten in a Waldorf school in Alice Spring, Australia, smack in the middle of the Outback.

Spirit had a plan!

I was not ‘awake’ yet but like many, illness can bring about one’s awakening. That is what happened. Since Reiki had such a profound effect on me, I started studying it. Wow, that is when things really opened up for me. My spiritual awakening blew open whilst living in the potent land of the Outback.

After three years in Australia, I wanted to move back to Chile but Spirit had other ideas for me and guided me to Boulder, CO. I’d never been there, didn’t know anything about and didn’t know anyone. I’d been living abroad for 17 years and had little interest in living in the USA again.

Fortunately, I listened to Spirit and within a few years of being in Boulder, Dreamtime Healings was birthed: healings, guidance and support for HSP/empaths.

I always said Boulder was a great place to develop as a healer as there are so many people to guide you, many who want alternative healing and not one, but two psychic schools! Of course, that is why Spirit wanted me there!

My practice has evolved over the years. In the beginning, it was just reiki, then it morphed into Spirit Reiki as my shamanic and psychic abilities grew.

Then in a plant medicine ceremony, I began channeling light language, a song without words. It carries a very high vibrational sound healing that works on the soul level. It often combines with my shamanic drumming. My drum is a spirit in itself, bringing through beautiful vibrational healing as well.

Starting in 2012, I was called to do four vision quests in Colombia over the course of 5 years. I’ve experienced many different plant medicine ceremonies and continuously do my own inner work. I’ve done and will continue to do lots of professional and personal development as well.

Then the ceremonies started.

Spirit asked me to lead cacao ceremonies with shamanic journey. I did that for four years and then in Dec. 2019, Spirit asked me to start leading plant medicine ceremonies. I’m in my element leading them! I’ve even become a church, Dreamtime Church, which allows me to do these plant medicine ceremonies legally.

And it continues! Spirit has asked me to up-level yet again, to be of service in a whole new way: to take all my experience, wisdom and gifts to a much higher level through mentorship.

It’s so exciting and rewarding to help my HSP/Empath clients go from feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and not in their power into making massive shifts, changes and grow quickly, becoming a strong, healthy, vibrant, empowered, Thriving Empath/HSP.
