THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Mora at Avebury stone circle, U.K.
WHY IT MATTERS
We're all searching for meaning in our lives. I was fortunate, for me it revealed itself early on after my graduation.
· My father was a United Church minister, and during his sabbatical year, he took me on a journey around the World, which exposed me to diverse cultures and ideologies that profoundly shaped my understanding of life's purpose and its potential for spiritual growth.
· It was a gift that opened my mind to the idea of devoting my future to helping others, which also inspired a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment in my own journey.
· I've been in private practice as a registered healthcare practitioner for 37 years, serving a client base in the thousands, a reflection of my dedication and commitment to supporting the well-being of others.
For eleven of those years, I've also been a shamanic counsellor and member of the teaching faculty of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, founded by Dr. Michael Harner, Ph.D., in San Francisco.
This profoundly shaped my understanding of spiritual healing and holistic health, enriching others on their unique journeys.
“I came away feeling the most confident I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.”
THE BIG PICTURE
· My career has been a gift that has guided me along a path of service. It has inspired me to explore how different cultures approach health and spirituality, so I can better help others create their own sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Ultimately, it is our collective experience that shapes our future, and I am hopeful that we will continue to build a brighter, more inclusive world together, inspiring each other and embracing the beauty of our diverse stories.
As a faculty member, I teach two full shamanism workshop courses a year for those seeking personal growth and development, or wanting to become shamanic counsellors, or for healthcare practitioners wishing to add it to their practice, as I did.
YOU MAY BE THINKING:
“I’m intrigued by what I’ve just read, but is shamanism really for me?”
Let me share a personal experience. Years ago, I did my due diligence, exploring various spiritual paths before finding shamanism.
To my delight, it turned out to be exactly what I had been searching for. The more I engaged with it, the more confident I became in its transformative power.
Shamanic journeying had a profound impact on me. It brought a deep sense of joy and harmony with my innermost feelings—almost a revelation. Ultimately, it provided comfort and created a shift in my energy that changed the course of my life.
I’VE EXPERIENCED MY FAIR SHARE OF CHALLENGES
Throughout the years, I’ve watched many students become genuinely engaged by the discoveries they make about themselves. This growing self-awareness becomes the catalyst for lasting change, enabling them to step forward with deeper confidence, clarity, and purpose—unlocking strengths and possibilities they may not have realized before.
If you ever feel overwhelmed by a restless mind or the weight of uncertainty, I invite you to pause and explore how shamanism could support you. This ancient tradition offers practical tools and timeless wisdom to help you navigate life’s challenges, restore balance, and reconnect with your own inner resilience. Sometimes, even a single step toward understanding more can open the door to meaningful transformation.
Take a moment to read the testimonials on the site—authentic, heartfelt accounts from people who, just like you, were searching for real change. Their journeys reveal the transformative power of this path, and their words may offer the encouragement or inspiration you need to embark on your own journey.
One of the most rewarding aspects is that once you learn to access and trust your inner wisdom—which resides within us all—it becomes a lifelong companion. Whenever you seek guidance, reassurance, or inspiration, this wisdom will always be there for you, steady and supportive, like a trusted friend.
I’ve experienced my share of challenges—constantly looking for a more fulfilling life, happiness, confidence, and a sense of security. Walking this path has gifted me something truly invaluable: perspective. It has transformed how I view myself and the world, opening my eyes to possibilities and opportunities I once thought were beyond my reach.
PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE
I’m deeply grateful for my curiosity—it led me to shamanic teachings that opened an entirely new path for me, one I continue to follow with purpose and joy every day.
Shamanism has brought balance to every aspect of my life and inspired me to make it my life’s work.
I’m passionate about sharing its benefits with others, its simply about people helping people.

HEALING IS ABOUT SHARING AND LISTENING
It helps build rapport with my clients on a personal and more meaningful level. People need time to feel heard. I regard it as part of the healing process adding to my sense of purpose and is a way of giving to others.
Active listening creates a safe space where people can express themselves without judgment.
It validates others’ experiences and emotions, which can be deeply reassuring.
Listening also helps build trust and foster deeper, more meaningful connections.
By being present, we show that others matter and that their stories are important.
It often reveals insights that can lead to personal growth for both the speaker and the listener.
Simply being heard is the first step toward healing and moving forward.
UNLOCKING YOUR POTENTIAL
Live your life with clear intention, otherwise it will pass you by before realizing the heights you are capable of reaching.
When you act with purpose, every day becomes an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
Life is also a journey filled with endless distractions—some obvious, and others subtle. They both constantly test your ability to stay focused.
Overcoming them requires conscious effort, and a willingness to realign yourself when you stray.
It’s important to be reminded that our potential is truly limitless. Embracing this mindset can be liberating, and inspire you to aim higher and persevere, even when obstacles challenge us.
When you recognize your own potential for growth, you open yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities.
