“Reflecting on my journey on The Jaguar Path, I realize my entire life, and perhaps past lives, have led me to this point. Through pain, heartbreak, adventure, and love, every experience, whether seemingly good or bad, has been a necessary step for which I am grateful. They have all guided me to where I am today.

My shamanic training recounted a story similar to my experience of finding my martial arts path and meeting Nina, which later led me to The Jaguar Path and the Q’ero Elders. The skills I acquired during the nine-month training have been invaluable. They helped me explore my past, letting go of what’s unneeded and realizing the support I have from various entities.

I connected with animals and nature, learning to lead a power animal journey despite my nervousness. This process helped me rediscover my voice and passion, leading others to different worlds. Object extractions taught me to trust my intuition and enhance my bodywork treatments by removing energetic imprints made from trauma, resulting in a newfound spaciousness.

Cord-cutting, another learned technique, provided me with immediate energetic resurgence, resembling the act of cutting through unseen energetic ties, like acting in a play. The healing powers of numerous cord-cuttings I have felt impacted me significantly, smoothing out the rough edges of my relationships.

Despite the increasing disconnection in our world, my experience with the nine-month Shamanic healer training taught me to utilize these ancient tools to regain stability, find support, and see the enduring beauty in our surroundings. I'm honored to hold these tools from the Q’ero people and pass them onto my community. My sincere gratitude goes to Ray and Nina for being the vital bridge and teachers in my life’s journey.”
