As energy alchemist, I create the conditions for natural healing to take place. I work with people, places and spaces, transversing in non-ordinary reality to release stuck, dense energy.

This type of work has been around for millennia, evidence has been found all around the world, in every culture. They’re often called druids, shamans, medicine men and women, mystics, among other names. I have studied with indigenous lineages of the Americas as well as modern psychics, mediums and land healers. I have also unearthed my own inner knowing and guidance, leading me to new techniques. My method of energy work is a unique blend of all this knowledge and wisdom which I call - energy alchemy.

As an energy alchemist, I believe that being allowed to work with someone on their healing journey is a sacred duty, one that should be held in the highest regard. I always work in a safe, protected and sacred space and coordinate the healing work with your higher-self. When I work with the land, I do so by connecting with the spirits of that particular area and am guided by their wisdom.

MY STORY

I grew up on a farm in rural North Dakota, USA. Prior to colonization, this land was shared by the Ochenthi Sakowin, Anishinabewaki, Michif Piyyi (Metis) and Yanktonai. I have come to understand that this land was a very important passage way for many people in ancient times. According to geological history, it is on the edge of glacial lake Agassiz, which rings true to the fact the farm land is very sandy and not fertile in comparison to land just a few miles away, which would’ve been part of the lake, evolving to rich, prosperous, fertile soil. Being on the shores of a large body of water would explain why so many groups claim the territory. The land currently sits on a large aquifer that supplies water for two counties. Water is a powerful energy amplifier. When it’s positive, it can release high vibrational energy to the land, when the natural flow of energy has been disturbed by trauma on the land, it has the opposite effect.

The land I grew up on has played a significant role in my life. As a child, I experienced a mix of beautiful light filled energy as well as darker, lower vibrational energies and entities - much of which was dismissed and denied, despite a loving, caring family. While my parents recognized and supported my sensitivity, any awareness of what I was really experiencing was far beyond what my Lutheran parents were able to accept at that time. I suffered from reoccurring nightmares and was constantly nervous and scared in my own home and certain parts of the farm. I have dreamed about the land my entire life and recently discovered that I share some of these dreams with my two sisters who also grew up there. As a child I always had a curiosity about the paranormal but began dismissing it in my teenage years. Despite many odd occurrences, I opted for a “normal” life and moved to Minneapolis, MN after graduation to pursue my dream of becoming a graphic designer.

Twenty years later, after a successful career as a designer, a wonderful marriage and the birth of my son, the inner calling to explore what life was really about, began to knock again. My son was a difficult sleeper as a baby (and toddler) which lead me to reject society’s instructions to neglect his needs at night with “sleep training”. This put me on a nurturing path and allowed me to dismiss the outside voices and listen to my own inner voice instead. I became very passionate about biologically normal infant sleep and took an in-depth training with a neuroscientist / doula, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum a pioneer in the nurture revolution, on infant sleep and neurodevelopment. That lead me to work with families as an infant sleep consultant, to become a founding member of the Children’s Sleep Foundation and co-author a position paper around biologically normal infant sleep, nurture’s effect on neurodevelopment and providing evidence against sleep training culture. During that time, I co-founded an organization with my sister called The Madre Collective to bring community and awareness to other moms about the realities of motherhood, something that is very rarely discussed in our society. I trained with Dr. Sophie Brock to become a certified Motherhood Practitioner. While I was very passionate about these subjects and they filled up my years during and around the pandemic, I was being nudged to move in a different direction.

In the spring of 2022, I experienced what I can only describe as the land I grew up on, calling me to heal it. At the time it felt absurd as I had no awareness of such a thing back then. Luckily my highly spiritual therapist validated this experience and enlightened me to the fact that land healing has a strong history in indigenous cultures. A couple months later we took a trip to visit my dad, who still lives on the land. My son, who was 4yrs old at the time and had been talking about seeing various spirits since he was 2yrs old, pointed out what we later realized was a large, negative portal on the land, just 15 feet away from my grandparent’s house, the scariest part of the land. Looking back, my sisters and I remember my niece who was 8 years old at the time, pointing out the same thing. During this visit, my deceased grandfather was communicating to me specific messages to bring to my dad about his past regrets. This grandfather has stayed on the land since his passing, I believe, to make sure the torch was passed to my sister’s and I to heal the land. My son sees and communicates with him in one of the barns and it’s such a real experience to him, he doesn’t accept that Grandpa Rude passed away in 1995, believing he is still alive. I never doubted my son’s assessment of what he saw because on a very deep level, I knew it was true and was a big part of the reason I experienced so many frightening things growing up there.

A number of profound occurrences happened during that trip and the months following - which is a story for another time. But ultimately what it did, was put me on a quest to find out what was going on at the farm, what my role was with it and what is my purpose here this lifetime. A landing healing course, two psychic courses, a crossing over course, two dowsing courses and a shamanic energy medicine course later… and here I am! The culmination of all those diverse trainings, as well as many, many hours of meditation and shamanic journey connecting with my higher self, guides and mentors, I now know that I am here to transmute dark energy into light. This comes in the form of personal, land and home healing - what I call, energy alchemy.

We are all a part of nature, we are not separate from it. That is why the land I grew up on is an integral part in the story of who I am and my path. The land I live on today, in Minneapolis MN is also part of the Ochethi Sakowin nation, which I do not believe is a coincidence. I know first hand how much the land we live on, effects us and our ability or inability to heal. After I was able to recognize, communicate with and cross over the stuck spirit in our current house, and close three negative vortexes, my family and I have been able to sleep better, relationship issues started to clear up and my son no longer sees low vibrational energy beings around the house.

I believe we are all here to bring out our authenticity, uniqueness and to shine our light. When we can overcome our feelings of disempowerment and disconnection, we can start to connect to our true essence and come together in a more loving, light-filled existence.
