I have sensed spiritual presences for as long as I can remember. As a child, I never spoke about how I perceived the world differently. I simply knew that I was different, and I was at peace with that. It could feel lonely at times, yet I was never truly alone. I felt deeply held, supported, and accompanied in ways I could not explain.

Things really changed for me when my grandmother passed away 12 years ago. She had been like a mother to me and as I always knew I would, I felt her presence very strongly after her passing. I could even hear her speaking and moving around, as clearly as if she were still physically present.

One day, I sat quietly and told her, “It’s okay if you want to move on. I’m fine.”

And she did.

What followed was devastating. In the weeks and months after, I no longer felt my grandmother’s presence, but more than that, I felt nothing at all. The subtle fields I had perceived my entire life were suddenly gone. A way of sensing the world that had always been natural to me had vanished, and I was left disoriented and heartbroken.

In that loss, I felt a strong calling to ask a particular spirit a simple question: “Where is grandma?” That question became the doorway into my path of self development and spiritual awakening. It was a profound shock to discover that much of what I believed to be true was not.

Unlearning the everyday beliefs and structures I had absorbed growing up, shaped in part by a Catholic upbringing, was challenging and at times deeply unsettling.

One day, I asked a different question: “What is my life purpose?” That question led me directly onto a path of learning with the Q’ero shamans of Peru. I completed a three and a half year apprenticeship and was initiated into their lineage, opening the way to work consciously with unseen realms.

Through this path, I learned their cosmology and how to work with healing medicines of living forces such as the mountains, the snake, the condor, and other aspects of nature, each carrying its own frequency and intelligence.

When I stepped onto a shamanic path of practice and ceremony, it did not feel like learning something new. It felt like remembering, like coming home to something ancient and deeply familiar within me. After a lifetime of sensing that something was missing without knowing what it was, this return soothed my thirsty soul.

My Initiation

Alongside my training, I moved through many years of profound healing, including ancestral and collective layers. This work was undertaken with intention and devotion, and it was often intensely painful. It was a tough journey, and those closest to me lost me for a while. 

The final phase of healing unfolded over seven years and included deep integration, awakening, and a gradual blossoming onto the path I was always meant to walk.
