About me

Hi, I’m Heather.  I look forward to sharing the journey with you to help you achieve a more peaceful, loving, productive and joyful life.

Much of the first thirty six years of my life were filled with uncertainty, stress and anxiety, governed by an inner voice that I came to know as my Wounded-Heart. There came a turning point where I decided to take control of my life and heal my body from the inside out, studying Reiki, Social Science and Counselling. These studies also supported my interest and passion for helping others in my community. 

During this time of restoration and retrieval of my True-Heart Self, I developed a strong connection with my Inner World, where I discovered wise guides who were there to comfort and show me new ways to walk my path.

Over an intense period of five years of initiation, in what I later came to understand was the Shamanic Way, my Inner World teacher-guide taught me how to observe the natural cycles around me, and to map these across to the human experience. I was shown how energy moved in worlds within, above and below - beyond the visible world.

As my teacher-guide taught me how to see signs in Nature and my surrounding environment, I became more skilled in discerning and listening to whispers in unseen worlds, and interpreting signs around me by using the Sacred Circle Map of Consciousness, as I later called it, to guide me. 

At this time, shamanic teachers from the visible World Without began to show up, and they helped me understand, and further define, my transpersonal experience. 

In 2004, after five years of training this way, I began to share and teach what I knew with clients who were grateful for their rapid progress and healing and were eager to become students.

In the visible world I was keeping just as active, guiding three growing sons into manhood, studying social science, and working with youth in the area of behavioural management as a counselling case-manager in outreach programs with Education Queensland and associated organisations.

For twenty years, I have loved practicing, and later teaching, these powerful techniques to help others find inner peace, and to expand their awareness of the unseen worlds surrounding and supporting them. 

For some time now, I have seen myself as a bridge between worlds, assisting others to safely and skilfully navigate their way in seen and unseen worlds found within the Sacred Circle Map. I enjoy teaching them how to listen deeply, see clearly, think cleanly, and become confident and conscious co-creators of their life, above, below and around them.

There is no doubt that life experience has contributed a great deal of wisdom to my practice as a shamanic energy healing practitioner and teacher. My more personal journey as daughter, sister, granddaughter, rural and urban woman, artist, partner, mother, aunt, grandmother, trusted friend, ceremony woman and 'sista' have all largely contributed to who I am today. 

There is little separation between work and play, for I dearly love what I have to offer the world, live to serve and shine my truth, the Shamanic Way.

About Shamanism

Living, Loving and Leading ~ The Shamanic Way

 

Shamanism is thought to be one of the oldest healing practice surviving today, with cave art displaying records of this way  30,000 years ago.

The word 'shaman' is believed to have come from the word 'saman', found in the language spoken by the Manchu-Tungus Tribe in Siberia, northern Asia.

Shamanism has become a generic term across many cultures, particularly in the West, to describe spiritual healers and diviners who are seen as wise men and women bridging the worlds of the seen and unseen. Examples of where you might find other terms to describe shamans are sangoma in South Africa, kahuna in Hawaii, and may be likened to priestesses and Druids in Celitc shamanism. 

The most simple explanation for this  ancient healing way is to describe it as where Spirit meets Nature, where everything animate and inanimate in Creation is seen as having a living spirit that is able to travel beyond the physical into multiple dimensions of consciousness. Connecting with and serving community is a common feature of the shamanic way.

Scholars may refer to contemporary shamanistic practices and ways as Neo-shamanism, or new-shamanism. There has been a strong movement of returning to this ancient healing practice which has been forced underground for hundreds of years during times of suppression by churches and political leaders. 

There is no single set of principles for shamanic walkers and practitioners. However, each person who takes this journey may create their own principles from their personal or cultural lore. 

The Sacred Circle Map of Consciousness (SCMC) guides the Shamanic Path and Practice (SPP) teachings. This map presents eight worlds to navigate your way through life. The Worlds: Within, Below, Above and Without. The Worlds in the East (Spirit), North (Body), West (Heart) and South (Mind). 

There are a number of ways to weave the Shamanic Way into your life: as a Shamanic Healing Practitioner, as a Shamanic Walker, as a Shamanic Teacher, or as a Shaman. The latter term, out of respect, is reserved for those initiated into shamanism in traditional ways within past and existing Original cultures. 

In Shamanic Path and Practice (SPP), we turn to The 8 Ways to walk more confidently and consciously on our journey. These principles were whispered to me, Heather, in 2011, two years after I visited Hawaii and began to hear wisdom whispered from an Inner World guide I came to know as Master Po. Master Po spoke to me in Hawaiian language for two years, before giving me the The 8 Ways in both English and Hawaiian. This was a great gift to me, and I have tremendous respect for the Hawaiian peoples and their language. There is no claim to The 8 Ways as in any way being seen as traditional Hawaiian principles. 

These Ways summarise the work and way that I teach very well. The original principles given to me contained only a few Hawaiian and English words, and I have expanded slightly on them over the years as I began to explore and embrace them. I have written a Workbook to assist you to study and practice them. There is also a summary of The 8 Ways available for free on the home page of this website.

SKILLS

Living and Working in Community

My early community-based skills were developed from living and working on or close to the land for most of the first thirty five years of my life. This has been instrumental in establishing my relationship with the land and country people. During this time I became an active community worker in my role as an artist and art teacher, including leading a project sponsored by Youthweek Queensland to employ an indigenous artist to work with over 700 children from local schools. This passion for contributing to and establishing community, particularly to support women and children, has spread throughout my entire working and social life and remains strong today where I continue to build and serve community wherever I go.

These days my principle focus has been working with people committed to creating conscious community, caring for themselves, each other, children, animals, and the planet. Currently I work closely with indigenous aunties and ceremonial elders to create more awareness of the power of ceremonial practices as an elder of Women's Communities at the Sunshine coast. Together we facilitate processes for participants to connect with the Ancestors and other worlds for intuitive guidance, self-healing, and transformation.

Presentations, Workshops, and Meditation

I have been a guest presenter at the 2012/13; 13/14; 18/19; and 19/20. 22/23 Woodford Folk Festival at the Blue Lotus pavilion and Labyrinth. Earlier years saw me presenting at such places as The Queensland Counsellors Association Professional Development for Members and the C.J Jung Society of Queensland. I have also been a regular guest speak at cancer groups on the north side of Brisbane.

For the past twelve years, I have presented hundreds of personal and professional development workshops to small and large groups of people in city, country, remote rural landscapes, with some exprience overseas, to a rich variety of people.

My work also takes me into more mainstream places, holding meditation for busy professionals to learn how to more able manage stress.
