Teacher/Facilitator
All teaching is experience-based, recognizing the ancient wisdom that learning is experience first, dialog afterward. Context is critical for learning and assimilation of content. This is true for classes, workshops, and individual coaching and group counseling.

"Essentially, you are your own best teacher, based on your experience, inner knowing and intuition. You have sources of wisdom of which you may be unaware. As a teacher, my intention is to point you ... to yourself." – Gerry Starnes

Shamanic Healing
There are several basic shamanic healing modalities, most commonly curse healing and soul retrieval. In addition, individuals also need to be able to connect with Spirit, with their greater self. In personal sessions, the focus is on clearing the spiritual and energetic effects of past traumas and life experiences, while simultaneously helping to create a bridge between ordinary life and spiritual inspiration. In this way, people become whole, self-healing on an ongoing bases, and so can return to the natural process of personal evolution.
