Welcome!

I began my Shamanic journey over 10 years ago with a chance encounter with some Medicine cards and a copy of the Beginner’s guide to Shamanic Journeying by Sandra Ingerman. Since then, I've studied with Debra Morrill, Heidi Fromi, Ana Larramendi, Jean Schneider, Asia Voight, and Mary Preuss Olson.

I created The Ancient Willow, LLC to help people on their healing journey. It was named in reverence to the willow trees where I grew up. Additionally, willow trees have long been symbols of flexibility and adaptability, which are key components to my practice.

Most recently, I've taken a deep dive into Ancestral healing. I practice out of my home in rural Waunakee, WI. where I hold space there with my wife Laurie and our three cats, Milo, Monte, and Freya.
