Former international art teacher for the past 15 years with a traditional master's degree, now shifting full time to soul-aligned work with energy medicine and holistic health. Currently located internationally while seeking where to go next, I am in the fertile in-between breakthrough period. I have been involved with indigenous shamanism since 2007 and energy healing, from becoming a reiki master teacher (2015) to master shamanic energy medicine practitioner (2022, from Dr. Alberto Vilolldo of The Four Winds Society).
I am open for work in health clinics and wellness spas, retreat centers, spiritual healing cuises, and more.
In my own business, I see clients both in person and remotely, as the work is outside of spacetime and works powerfully over video sessions for clients worldwide. I am willing to relocate for your events or wellness center.
Writing and academic visual arts have been at the core of my life, so I am also able to do freelance proofreading, editing, and copywriting as I have a lifetime of experience with that and use it daily across my entrepreneurial work in newsletters, email campaigns, promotions, and video content creation.
In this time of immense change in humanity, shifting careers to collage several skills wearing several hats is common. I'm a great writer, creative, administrator for program development, and teacher of many topics from art & art history, making art, art as therapy, and social emotional wellness to individual one-to-one transformational energy medicine that brings out the best destiny and highest version of each client.
I have taught in schools and universities around the world, in art museums, and worked with the elderly in outreach programs, as well as training teachers and program management, where I was responsible for every aspect of the program, from hiring faculty, all communications, and online delivery and off-campus locations.
Travel is also a superpower skill I have developed living internationally since 2010 and traveling the world on my own. I know all the good spots and high-end or boutique places in most cities throughout the eastern hemisphere and North America. So helping with travel plans and coordination is also a good fit for me.
Please reach out if I can help your business, projects, or events in any way!
