​About me...

​My mission:
I am a sacred portal for sacred portals.  I hold space for individuals as we heal, as we strengthen, as we grow, on our journeys to authenticity, empowerment and Divine Love.  I do this in the spirit of oneness, trust and love, knowing that each one of us will reach another and that Love will prevail on Earth and in the cosmos.
In my work, I strive to be an opening through which you might move to encounter the beauty, strength and wisdom of your own soul.  I know that you will do the same for another. 

My training:
My journey began with my own physical, emotional, spiritual challenges.  I experienced an illness of ten years, which was my first training as a healer and also, I believe, a shamanic initiation.

Training in Usui (1999), Tera Mai (2007) and Karuna (2013) Reiki opened within me a channel of Divine Love, which I have been nurturing throughout the years.  The surrender to the Divine that is Reiki - that is at the core of my work - has permeated all of my life.
 
Shamanic training, from both human and spirit realms, brought me into working with allies from the natural world such as plant spirits, stone people and the elements (air, earth, fire and water).  My personal shamanic path centers around relationship - with Earth, Creator and my own Divine Soul.   Shamanic healing work utilizes powerful methods to support individuals in healing all manner of interior and exterior challenges.  In doing so, it clears barriers to the understanding and bringing forth of our truest, most authentic selves.  It is in the repression and denial of the truth of our souls that our lives and beings fall out of alignment, out of balance and into distress. 
The gentle strength and knowing of Reiki healing combines with the power and creative energy of shamanism to bring about great shifts, deep understandings and grounded peace.
 
I was trained and ordained into the Alliance of Divine Love Ministry in 1999 and then trained and ordained into the Sacred Earth Ministry in 2007 (founded in 2007 by and still directed by my husband, Rev. David O'Brien and myself).

23 Years: 
My professional practice as a spiritual healer and teacher began in 1999 in Gainesville, Florida.  It continued there without interruption until 2019, when David and I relocated to Southern Colorado, where we continue the work,, serving worldwide through internet and phone.
The work has deepened and expanded considerably since our relocation.  I have been able to commune more with the land and with Creator as I now work from my home in the High Desert instead of in an office.  I have been able to delve into my personal healing and further purify my channel.
The guides surprise me every day with new direction, with new teachings, with new love, to support my healing, to support your healing, to support Mother Gaia and all who live on her.  We are Earth Healers. 
I do my best to listen, to act, to love.  I live and breathe in gratitude.
