Bio

I am a practitioner of the yogic and shamanic traditions, a licensed clinical hypnotherapist and Depth Hypnosis practitioner, an ordained minister, and an endorsed teacher of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition.

I have numerous Yoga Teacher Certifications and teach private classes in my studio at the Sanctuary at Mt. Shasta in Mount Shasta, CA.  

My shamanic training includes Advanced Shamanic Studies and Energy Medicine programs with Foundation of the Sacred Stream, Advanced Soul Retrieval with Sandra Ingerman, Hawaiian Huna tradition, the Four Winds’ Healing the Light Body School with Dr. Alberto Villoldo, the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition with don Oscar Miro Quesada, and apprenticeship to don Mariano Quispe Flores, teacher, healer and ceremonialist of the Andean Q’ero tradition. 

History

My apprenticeship in the shamanic arts began in 1997 with Isa Gucciardi in the Core Shamanic tradition. Initially engaged in a quest for personal healing,

 

As a teacher of the shamanic arts, the services I offer support clearing of the constrictions that keep you from knowing and fully expressing the light that you truly are.  They will help you to reclaim your wholeness, restore your alignment with Spirit, and cultivate a sacred relationship with all of life.  This work is a reflection of ancient wisdom teachings, my reverence for the Great Mystery, and my commitment to the cultivation of sacred reciprocity with and service to humanity, the natural and the spirit realms.

I offer private sessions to people wanting to change their relationship with themselves and others, to those who want to free themselves from the pain, trauma, addiction, low energy, and low self esteem that keep them from fully participating in life. Drawing from Depth Hypnosis, Shamanism and yoga, I support and guide my clients as they do the healing work necessary to restore their power and come into alignment with the divine light that shines from within them.

Each of these modalities offers unique tools with which we can address the ways that they have constricted around pain and trauma, and shut themselves off from their own life force energy, their own power and their own divine light.  Using age and past life regression of Depth Hypnosis, extraction and illumination, soul and power retrieval, the journey process and ceremonies of shamanic tradition, and individualized plan of breathwork and movement from yoga, together we release the trauma, let life force energy and light flow into once-constricted areas, and reconnect them with their own power.

I teach classes and workshops on various aspects of Shamanism.  The intention of all of these classes is to explore, deepen and broaden our relationships with the worlds of nature and Spirit and with ourselves.  I teach the Shamanic Journey, creating and working with an alter, creating ceremonies for various purposes, the Rites of the Sacred Feminine, and Sacred Drama.

I work with individuals, couples and families.  These 90 minute sessions are in-office in M

As an endorsed teacher of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, a program founded by don Oscar Miro-Quesada, I along with my husband, Ray Nobriga, offer an in-depth apprenticeship into the shamanic traditions of both the North Coast and Southern Andes of Peru.

I have traveled extensively,  participating in and leading pilgrimages: to Israel as part of a global delegation for peace,  along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and in Peru, Mexico, Portugal, Turkey and Hawaii where I performed ceremonies.  Additionally I have served as a guide in leading numerous group sojourns to Peru.
