Letters from students:
"There is so much information packed into this course! I don't know why she gives so much away! I've taken 'all the courses' and this one, by far, has the most value!"

"I didn’t have any idea once I started your class how much it would resonate with me. The weeks built on each other, and the assignments were on target with manifesting desired results. The lectures were practical and down to earth. It really is easy to see results IF you meditate daily and clear your chakras. As I continued in the lessons, it became a “guilty pleasure” to dive in each week.
Becoming my own shaman has helped me to figure out who I am! I feel like it has brought me home to me."
Cathy R.
"Being able to treat myself, my young daughters, my husband, friends and even clients with natural remedies has been an incredible blessing and I am going to be pursuing becoming a herbalist as well in the future as you have truly inspired me."

"This course has told me a lot about myself and reconfirmed some of the things that I must continue to Be, Know, and Do. Your goal has been accomplished I enjoyed this course and your guidance and mentorship. Your course is well laid out. The training manual to me is just like our military Standing Operation Procedure (SOP), meaning that if you are not on location with me I can still accomplish my mission. I learned a lot from the videos and your training manual. The things you covered in both the video and the manual such as how to present yourself and the consideration of your client such as not wearing strong scents, and getting their permission when using sage/anointing oils to make them aware of the purpose of usage. The manual along with all of its reference’s and protocol is a must have…I’m saying this because it never leaves you in the blind…it also shows your love and caring about taking care of people and a true shaman quest."

This is NOT a course about shamanism. Rather, it is the culmination of all the wisdom I've gleaned from my studies of world religions and indigenous practices around the world and how to apply that wisdom in today's world.
