Deciding to work with a practitioner of any kind is an important investment of time, trust, energy, and funds. Sometimes it’s helpful to know bit about a practitioner’s background and experience. Here’e a glimpse into mine.
Over 30 Years of Experience
My experience includes teaching, healing sessions, learning, and exploring in the fields of consciousness, shamanism, dreaming, earth based spirituality and, well, life.
Traveled to over 25 countries honoring sacred sites. Lived in the Netherlands for five years and France for one. Currently leading retreats to the sacred sites of France.
Taught shamanic workshops and retreats throughout the U.S., the Netherlands, and France.
Authored Gronden: Oefningen tot herstel van het contact met de aarde. Published in Amsterdam, the Netherlands 1995. English title: Grounding: Exercise to restore your connection to the earth.
Translated Rituelen, Essentie, uitvoering and begeleiding, (Rituals: Essence, Implementation and Facilitation) by Daan van Kampenhout into English.
With my husband, Patrice Bazile, raised our fabulous daughter and love our family life!
I am passionate about the work I do. Over 95% of my clients come to me via referral. It means everything to me that people entrust me with their family and friends.
