Hello ! Thank you for coming to my website and your interest in what I do. Here is a bit of background to share with you on your discovery through my site.

 I was born and raised in a rodeo and ranching family, in southern Alberta, Canada. My connection with nature and animals came easily and has always been a very important part of my way of life. Someone asked in a gathering once what was the religious beliefs inside my family? My answer was surpisingly funny and truthful, rodeo was my families religion. There is a deep spirituality about my family but going to church was not a part of our structure, I was told as a youngster..."If you want to talk to God, jump on your horse and go for a ride on the land, there are all sorts of Godly beings out there, there is more to God than meets the eye, God is everywhere, not just in a church (although they can be nice as well) but God is in you and all aroud you." I do appreciate that lesson and I still go to the land/nature...alot ! 

I began seeing spirit and energies in many different forms at a very young

age, with my first intense memorable experience being at around the age of 5 years old. I had communications, feelings and knowings with nature, trees, animals and people, some alive, some not. While not being comfortable with some of these experiences, I tried to focus on other things, as time passed, I busied myself with marriage, family and work. All the while still having experiences with spirit, nature and staying the course of my own personal healing path.

It was on my early 30's that I could not ignore the deep need to better understand my gifts. I had yet another impactful experience with the "unseen" and it spurred me on to delve deeper into working with my abilities, learning from talented teachers through mediumship and other modalities of energy medicine.

In 2004 I began a deeper journey into traditional spiritual workings with a mentor and teacher

indigenous to my own personal european heritage, since then, I have and continue to work with many amazing and gifted earth medicine and energy medicine teachers in different modalities.

My specialty lies in Systemic Constellation Therapy & Thana/Death Doula Practices.

As a Systemic Constellation Therapist I am inspired by the ability to help heal the nature of ourselves, each other and our ancestors, in multiple realms. As a Thana/Death Doula my passion is to assist and guide others in finding a healthy relationship with death, in their own way, through intimate collaboration with an individual/family or group, I bring to the best of my ability an opportunity to heal lives and honour our Soul's experiences and transitions. This support comes in many different ways, including before, during and after death.

I live in the foothills of Water Valley, Alberta, Canada with my human and fur family.

I can not speak enough about the people that have and continue to shaped my healing, learning, life and practice!

Firstly my Ancestors, Grandmothers, Grandfathers and Parents who taught me our language, our herbs/foods and traditions in Norse and Germanic life. No longer living our daily lives on our own Ancestral lands, they also taught me to Love and Respect this Land, the People and the Animals. 

Their stories and teachings where and are plentiful.

I would also like to acknowledge the impactful times that came from the exposure of some special people inside our family friendships including cowboys, cowgirls and the local indigenous tribes here in Alberta, these times I believe, are some additional reasons for my continued healing connection with nature and the innate draw to earth based practices. 

They are also the reasons I learned young to honour my own lineage teachings and respect other's. A priceless gift.

To start, My Mom & Dad felt strongly about the importance of honouring treaty relations and equality as a whole. After Dad retired from bullriding, he served as the President of the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association and was on many rodeo and community boards, one of them being the Calgary Stampede Board, there he continued to struggle with how the indigenous people in their own lands, where being treated. As a result he offered to assist the creation of community outdoor and indoor arenas for rodeo & hockey etc. As these indoor structures where being built, he brought in ethical stock contractors, rodeo clowns, entry fees, prize money donations etc. to support the centres construction and then ran rodeos directly out of those centres, on the reserves land, so they could be self governed. 

He also taught competitive rodeo events like steer riding for the youth, bullriding, steer wrestling and judged rodeo events. I am proud of what my Dad stood for, his legacy and what he accomplished in his short life here. My Mom continues to share these values and is also an inspirational role model for me and many others.

This brings me to my upbringing being on the road with rodeoing and on the reserves with my family in the summers, as a very young person and later on as my Dad's cowhand, looking after our horses and stock.

 I had some pretty significant lessons that shaped my growth and who I am today. I would like to speak of them in my own tradition, through story telling.

I honour Mary Crowchild for my first memory of a deep lesson in life about excepting self and entitlement.

I was around 5 or 6 years old and I was playing with kids outside her house, there where a lot of us and I didn't know most of the kids. At the time I had very very white blond hair and I refused pig tails (as soon as Mom put them in, I pulled them out) so it was loose and wild as usual. One of the boys came forward and petted my hair, liking the colour and loose hair (his was braided), then as some boys do, he pulled my hair, had a fist of it and pulled, then he began to taunt me, the rest of the kids thought that was a great idea and it became a game. Feeling hurt and attacked, I fought back, then feeling outnumbered, I ran to the house crying and after I told Mom and Mary why I was crying, Mary said," Oh, thats not good, but I know, it's not easy being different, when you feel alone because you are different, remember that Creator made you for a good reason and Creator's no dummy so be proud that your different." Her and Mom bushed and braided my hair and then we went outside and she said to the kids "No hair pulling, you all know better!!" That's hers not yours!" "Just cause somethings bright and shiny & different does'nt give you the right to take it." I fell in love with her and her motherly nature in that moment. She called me bright and shiny from then on and her last statement continues to be with me. It speaks of the unfortunate human behavior of entitlement & greed, it also speaks to honour diffences in eachother and the importance to stay true to who you are .... bright and shiny :-)

I honour Freddie Gladstone for a lesson in respect, ancestors and kindness. 

I was around 10 or 11 years old and we where sitting on the bench watching a rodeo, he was so kind to me, we where huddled up under a blanket, drinking hot chocolate and visiting in the cold wind and rain and I thanked him for keeping me warm, he said "As an Elder it is important to keep you young ones healthy."  I asked if there was a difference between being Elder and just a plain old Grandma or Grandpa, he giggled and said "There is nothing just plain old about your Grandmas and Grandpas, they are Elders too in their own right, they have a lot of knowings for you if you wanted to listen and there are also things to know being passed down from their parents and their parents before them. Their knowings would be different from my (his) families knowings but each was equally important and needed to be respected." I remember thinking oh ya, my Grandparents are old now but they were young once! It was my first cognitive awareness that I was a part of a larger..something, there was connections and continuation in family the way I never thought of before, that my family was how I could learn and see myself... and ...to Respect is more than doing what you where told, it is to ask, it is to listen, it is to be kind.

I honour Isabel Miller for her incredible horsewomanship, rodeo teacher and competition perspectives. She taught me how to compete for myself, not against another and sisterhood goes far.

I was about 12 years old and I was ready, my horse was ready and we where waiting to enter into the arena for a barrel racing event at an all girls rodeo. Isabel asked me "What was your last best time?" I told her and she said, "Ok see in your mind 4 seconds faster than that." I said ok, why 4 seconds? Is that the best time done already? She said 

"Hell no, remember, only compete against yourself, not against others. There will always be someone faster and always someone slower. No matter who has the best time, if you strive for a better run, a smoother ride and a great partnership with your horse, you always win. Always look upon the others you are competing with as your family, this is a sisterhood that has a common interest and lifestyle, we look out for each other, look out for our animals and work hard to make these events happen, that's the real win in rodeo, a sense of family, you know that, now talk to your horse and then get in that arena." 

That day I felt a great sense of relief. I didn't have to be perfect (there was a lot of pressure being my Dad's daughter), winning had a different meaning, that the relationship to my horse, my teacher and my fellow competitors was the reason I loved it so much. I learned that day what the words sisterhood and community meant.

There are more, Rupert Crowchild, Sis Thacker, Jimmy Gladstone, Randy Godfrey, Effie Simpson, but those memories can be for another time...

I have also been blessed with gifted human teachers in the past and in the present, those who have healed me, mentored me and taught me as I stepped into my own healing journey and practice...Thank you!

I have been influenced by many, these people are just a few that I have had the pleasure to discover through books and other avenues. As healers, visionary's and authers, they strike me for their depth of connections to something bigger than themselves, sharing and knowledge...
