*The energy medicine techniques listed here are a sample of the ones I have learned in formal training. Different techniques, a combination of techniques, or none of the outlined techniques may be more appropriate for the situation you are working with. If you need shamanic healing and medicine, I will tune in and track prior to any work, and offer what feels most effective, healing and safe for you at the time, including referring you to other skilled professionals of whom I know. In all cases, it remains your choice to say "yes" or "no" to what is being offered.
