First off, every session is unique and is guided by your intent, the lineage of healers and guides, and the most beneficial process to empower an outcome that will support your larger life. With that said, here are some details so you have an idea of what to expect. We’ll  have a chat about why you came and what you’re hoping to accomplish with this healing session. Working together within Sacred Space, I’ll track (or scan) your body on all levels to explore the type of intervention required. Then, we’ll get to clearing dense energy, rewriting the lightbody, and seeking to release, repair, or retrieve aspects of your energy if necessary. 

Every session involves an Illumination which is the core healing practice of this path. You’ll lay fully clothed on a table, or in your own space if we’re working remotely. I’ll guide you a bit and often work in silence. It is very relaxing and many people fall asleep or have a dreamlike experience, receiving their own insight. We’ll conclude with a small ceremony and discussion about how to follow up with whatever was discovered. It is gentle, nourishing, and often inexplicable. That’s the way of mystical transformation. It’s not uncommon for someone to say “That was fantastic. I feel marvelous and I have no idea what we did.” Yup. Drink some water, ground into your beautiful body, and go live your day with joy. 

Many people refer to this work interchangeably as shamanic healing or energy medicine, including The Four Winds Society where I did my training. While I could be referred to as a Shamanic Practitioner, I’ve chosen to use the term Energy Medicine for a number of reasons. My certification identifies me as a Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine. My lineage is the Andean tradition of the Q’ero Medicine Men and Women. In the mountainous part of Peru, they are referred to as the Q’ero or Medicine People. So, while many use the term shaman or shamanic practitioner to refer to the skills, techniques, and ceremony in which I was trained, I’ve always referred to this wisdom as medicine. 

The word “shaman” originally came from the healers in Siberia (“saman”) and means “one who knows.” That term  has travelled the world and is commonly accepted to describe a wide variety of medicine traditions. I have a deep reverence for the lifelong training of the Q’ero medicine people and do not consider myself a shaman as I have not walked that path with the integrity that they have lived. With that said, I support those who use the terms shaman or shamanic practitioner and am grateful there are so many people sharing these teachings throughout the world. 

Seeking the term that felt truest for me, and integrated within all of the energy work that I offer, I awoke from a dream one morning with the instruction to refer to myself as a “modern day medicine woman.” I understand this to mean a few things. It honors the training in this tradition, as well as the initiations, ceremony, and instruction I’ve had from my Ecuadorian medicine teachers. It aligns with Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology, my training in brain-body-energy integration, as well as the AngelicEnergetics healing modality. I’ve had a lot of professional training, exposure to a variety of medicine traditions, direct teaching from the unseen realms, and years of experience offering healing services and sharing these teachings with others. Yet, within my heart, I feel that I am a novice. Open to the mystery and quite teachable from those who live the Medicine Path, as well as the etheric lineages who guide me perfectly. This is what I offer you. With my intent to open to the Mystery and the guidance of your Soul’s Wisdom. I’ll use all the modern knowledge and ancient wisdom I have access to for your benefit. And I’ll honor whatever label you choose to describe our work .

An individual session is $233 for 90 minutes. The price remains the same whether it is in person or held remotely.

Payments may be made via check (if local and received in advance), credit card, pay pal, or venmo.  I’ll give you the payment information you need when we set up an appointment if you are not booking online through my shop.

You can book your session online – scroll down to the bottom of the Andean Energy Medicine webpage to locate the Book your Remote or In Person gold buttons.  I’ll send you details about how to schedule, prepare for your session, and where to access the Disclosure Form.

Absolutely!   I’m all about being present with you and appreciate the visual, live stream contact. When working with energy, distance is no barrier. We’ll chat, I’ll tune into your energy field to determine our best way forward, and then you can relax in your private space as the healing occurs. I’ve found the remote energy sessions to be equally beautiful as in person. If you have any questions or concerns about this, we’ll address those first. I’ll provide you with the link for the remote video session after we’ve set up our appointment. 

I want to make sure you are aware of a few important things before we schedule.  The Andean Energy Medicine Session is a service I offer as a certified Master Energy Healing Practitioner and Munay Ki Practitioner for your personal growth and education. It is not considered psychotherapy, nor intended to provide medical or psychological intervention. I do not offer these sessions to psychotherapy clients, as this work falls outside my role as Psychologist.  I also want to remind you that you are at choice – empowered to choose this work and use this information for your own benefit.  The form is available here and is signed/sent electronically.

I firmly believe everyone is intuitive with the capacity to directly connect with the Divine in all forms seen and unseen. Whenever you engage in any healing or ceremony that clears dense energy and activates more light within your field, your capacity for direct connection is enhanced. There are many ways to explore this direct connection and I offer services and classes to empower you to trust and engage your intuitive nature. With that said, it will certainly be interesting to explore your direct experience during a session. And yes, if there is a recommendation for you to deepen into contact with any aspect of Spirit, I’ll be sure to let you know. Everyone who takes my classes or workshops also discovers how easy it is to connect and begins to trust this very deeply. I imagine this will be your experience if you hang out with me. 

I imagine you can imagine my response. I’m not a medical doctor and I’m not offering medical treatment, advice, or healing directed at curing any illness. It is important to consider your treatment for any medical condition carefully as you are of choice in caring for your body. Many people are exploring how to combine allopathic (traditional) medical treatment with what may be called complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). The choice and responsibility for your care ultimately remains with you. Listen to your body and inner wisdom while you explore treatments in conventional and/or alternative holistic healing. 

The term “medicine” in many indigenous traditions refers to spiritual healing. This immediately differentiates between healing and cure. While someone may be cured of a disease, they may not experience healing. Or they may experience a spiritual healing which enables them to live and die differently while the disease remains present. When you include the term energy, this refers to a focus upon, and intervention on, the energy body. The Andean Energy Medicine (and all forms of energy work I do across modalities) focuses upon clearing the energy field. This approach, similar to healing in traditional Chinese medicine or Indian Ayurvedic medicine, suggests that supporting energetic clarity in the body allows the body’s natural natural healing mechanisms to arise. In a view which treats the body as a comprehensive energetic-physical-emotional-spiritual system, intervention at the level of energy affects all levels. 

You may come with any intent you chose to an Andean Energy Medicine session. My suggestion is to stay open to every possibility and trust your capacity to heal. All the while exploring every conventional or alternative healing modality that feels right to treat your medical condition. 

Not for these. This work is offered for your personal growth, education, and spiritual evolution. Andean Energy Medicine sessions are not considered psychotherapy or clinical intervention. [Although I surely view them as good medicine.] I offer this service as a Spiritual Mentor through The Energetic Muse, LLC. It’s important to know that I am not functioning in the role of psychologist for this service. In our everyday world, I have to honor the boundaries and definition of my professional license, as opposed to the equally important work as spiritual mentor.  It’s an interesting dichotomy and opens a discussion that explores how to be in this world and not of it. Know that I’ll bring you a wealth of knowledge within these beautiful healing techniques, since we’re working freely within the energetic and spiritual dimensions.

I was first called to the Andean cosmology with the books by Alberto Villoldo. I consumed this knowledge, enjoyed personal healing sessions with Alberto, studied informally with students of The Four Winds Society (Villoldo’s school), and experienced many Andean Medicine healing sessions over the past 20 years. I’ve benefitted from the map of the Medicine Wheel in my personal evolution and began sharing this map with others. I’ve incorporated all this into my classes and retreats. After many years, I was invited by the etheric Grandmothers to empower women with these teachings through my Art of Becoming class.

I was not expecting to complete formal training with The Four Winds Society to become an Energy Medicine practitioner. No plans for this whatsoever. In the beginning of 2022, I was called to become a Munay Ki Practitioner and then, again unexpectedly, began the intensive training to become a Four Winds Energy Medicine Practitioner. My studies and personal work continue. I imagine this Path, like every other I’ve walked, will offer endless invitations. I’m grateful to immerse myself in the Beauty Way for the rest of my days.

I feel a deep appreciation to my Alberto Villoldo and his teachers in the mountains, jungles, and coastal regions of Peru.  As well as the fine teachers in the Four Winds Society, Marcela Lobos,  the Q’ero Medicine people, the etheric lineages who guide my journey, and my fellow practitioners who share their beauty on this journey of discovery. I remain committed to ongoing learning and practice with my international Ayllu (community) of Four Winds practitioners and teachers. 

I’d like to honor my Ecuadorian Medicine teachers, Don Estaban and Don Jorge, who have offered me private instruction, initiation, healing, and a strong invitation to bring these teachings forth. Ah ho. 

Well, that’s an interesting question. The simple answer is that The Energetic Muse, LLC is my business name for all things not psychotherapy. (My work as a psychologist falls under Kathleen Milano PhD, LLC).  The more complex story began one day while painting (read that story here) and ended with this suggestion for a business name.

In Greek mythology, Muse refers to the nine sister goddesses who preside over song, poetry, arts, and sciences. I like that idea. The dictionary also defines muse as a source of inspiration or a guiding genius.  I view this Energetic Muse as a working partner – a guiding genius to direct my path of inspired creativity and loving service. 

Of course.  You’ll be held with care as you explore your life, private inner space, and spiritual beliefs. I value trust, understanding, privacy, and respect. I imagine you do too. This is sacred work and we’ll treat it as such. I don’t record sessions for this reason, but will make sure you have all the pertinent information for your own follow up after each session. 

Nope. If you are interested in this work, please contact me. If you are considering this for someone else in your family or life, please make sure they are truly interested and are making the decision to engage in the work themselves.

Dive deeper.  You’re the expert in your life, so first get quiet and check in with your own wisdom.  Find out what nudged you to consider the Andean Energy Medicine approach in the first place.  Explore your intent, desired direction, and possible outcomes.  If you’re still wanting to explore working with me individually for an Andean Energy Medicine session, let’s chat.  Give me a call and we’ll explore what options make the most sense. If you’re familiar with this tradition, or just feel that Soul tugging pull toward learning more, also consider the Art of Becoming class or personal mentoring and energy sessions. I’d love to help you find the perfect way forward.

I’d love to tell you about that, but I don’t know yet.  When I work with you, I listen deeply to what you’re sharing – on all levels. Then the path opens and the work begins. It is exciting to unearth your specific Map which points in the direction you are headed.

You will finish a session feeling very relaxed. I’ll encourage you to drink plenty of water, listen to your body about what it needs, and stay open to how obvious or subtle changes arise in your day to day experience. 

While everyone is different, I know it’s helpful to explore the potential value of any healing technique you try.  That’s why I’ve included direct feedback from women on my site.  So you can explore the variety of benefits from our work and hear them presented “In Her Words.” Maybe you will recognize yourself in these beautiful women.
