I began my herbal apprentice in 2001, after the death of my 13 year old niece. All during her treatment I kept thinking there has to be a better way. I also have 5 children and worried about the effects of pharmaceuticals, especially anti- biotics, on them. I began by reading books and taking classes when I could find them. I was very fortunate to find my Teacher, Shawn Schultz, RA, HT and took a seven year apprentice ship with Shawn. The loss of my niece followed shortly by the death of my Grandmother, led me to also seek some training to explain why I could sometimes talk to them. This led to many classes and tainings with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and I eventually began sharing what I learned. I have been very fortunate in finding the teachers that presented themselves. In May of 2016, I completed Sandra Ingerman's Two-Year Teacher Training in Shamanic Journeying, Healing, and Medicine for the Earth.
