The foundational tool of SSEET is the mesa, a medicine bundle activated for healing and transformation adapted from the Q'ero medicine people of the Andes in Peru. The mesa is filled with crystals, stones and sacred objects attuned to Natural Pathways of Transformation and Cosmic Beings of Light, including Animal Allies, Mountain Spirits, and Goddesses of sacred sites, lands and waters.

"I am here to call forth those whose soul's purpose is to help others in need with their medicine gifts." 

My training as a healer began in my early 20s when I got into therapy to address problems I was having in relationships, first with my troubled mother and in romantic relationships.

Eventually, my interest in human psychology grew as I completed an MA in Soviet Studies and a PhD in Slavic languages and literatures and then launched my career as a university administrator and professor. I used my skills as an academic researcher to find answers to 3 important and what turned out to be interrelated questions: 

What were the causes and diagnoses that explained my mother's chaotic and difficult life and effect on me?  Why were humans caught in repeating cycles of violence?  How is individual and collective trauma related? 

I then discovered energy healing at the age of 33. This started a new level of "training" when, in sessions under the hands of healers, and in meditation, I learned how to transmute my personal physical, mental and emotional pain through a somatic (body-based), energetic and imaginal (seeing with inner sight) process. At the same time, I met my first Native American teacher and discovered a body of ancient, powerful energy healing techniques that had existed long before the emergence of western medicine.

So it was that I studied shamanic energy healing starting at the age of 46 in the Four Winds Healing the Light Body School. I continued my studies with the Q'ero medicine people of Peru, descendants of the ancient Inca.  

By the time I was in my mid-40s, I knew without a doubt that I was a healer. I also knew that if I didn't step up to manifest this healing medicine in service of others, I would fulfill my soul's mission and purpose.  I left my tenured academic job at the University of Virginia to become a healer. 

I then parlayed all the processes and tools, from psychotherapeutic to somatic to energy medicine that I had learned. I call my method Shamanic Somatic-Emotional Energy Transformation.


It is 21st century shamanic healing incorporating ancient and contemporary wisdom about body, mind, soul and spirit.
