The healers left a strong impression on me about the power of prayer, self-healing, and community healing. There was something spiritual outside of church that I could feel when I saw these old weathered healers at work. It would be many years before I would reconnect with my cultural traditions.
I am a graduate of the Two Week Shamanic Intensive and the Three Year Program of Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing. The Three Year Program revealed a new way of compassion and love for myself and others, as well as a way of sharing that was new and unfamiliar. It was a great blessing.
I have seen that core shamanism can help return people to their spiritual heritage without the dogma or rules of organized religion. Wonderful relationships with the spirit world can be established, nurtured, and used for personal and community healing. Shamanic methods create vibrant new relationships with the world around us. For students, practicing core shamanic methods has a lasting impact that is personal and unique, and at the same time connected to all of humanity and all living things.
I have a core shamanic healing practice in Galveston, Texas. I have reconnected with my roots and study with indigenous Mexican healers in Mexico. I offer traditional healing rituals in Spanish and English.
