If you are looking for Spiritual Guidance, I recommend my books. I do not offer individual spiritual guidance services.
Please note: Appointments for new clients are currently booking about 6-12 weeks out. Unfortunately, I do not have earlier appointments available for new clients.
About Spiritual Healing Work
On the surface level our appointment together will be a conversation. I will be asking you some questions and to reflect on some things. All that is needed from you is simply to be receptive to whatever thoughts, feelings, or images arise.
By feeling into the body, into the emotional field, and asking questions (somatic self-inquiry or the body deva) transformation of mind, body, and spirit can take place.
On a deeper level, the questions that I ask during the appointment will be responded to by multiple layers of you, so even if you do not get a response to a question that I ask, the body, mind, and spirit will shift and respond.
During a session I will likely direct you to take a breath in and out, or breathe into an area of your body. We will sometimes pause to sit with emotions and realizations that arise.
I may also share received information (intuition/attuned empathy), journey (spirit flight) to gather information or retrieve lost power or soul parts, or utilize merged states (trance/voluntary possession) during our session.
Sessions may include inner child work, ancestral healing, past life healing, archetypal work, and energy work. In a session I may bring an element (like the water element), or call on other forces to assist in our session.
I work from a “spirit-model” based perspective, where I am aware that materialist reality is simply a small part of the totality of what reality truly is. I have spent decades focused on building spiritual relationships and going through initiatory processes as well as more traditional educational paths to offer the work that I do.
I view spiritual work as a form of artistry, with each session emerging into something totally unique, beautiful, and soul-led by the client and their needs.
My work is never forceful and you are a part of the process. I meet people where they are rather than having an agenda, goal, or thought for where they should be. Even when doing what might be considered advanced shamanic or energetic techniques I am aware that the biggest healer is my attuned empathetic presence and your willingness and openness to explore and to feel.
I work with people of all faiths, and from all walks of life, and if I am not already educated on your particular spiritual path, I am always open and curious to learn.
I approach all emotions and even the darkest aspects of our humanity with compassion. They have a reason for being and feeling whatever they do.
Energetically, the session begins when you book an appointment. Some clients may notice the week or so prior to the appointment some shifts in their awareness happening. Our time on the phone (or Zoom) together is actually mid-point in the healing process. The week after the healing more processing and integration will likely occur.
I may offer some homework after the session, but in most cases simply some rest and a bit of time to reflect is helpful.

A Bit More About Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing is an opportunity to work with the energetic and spiritual reasons for blockages, pain, physical and emotional health concerns, as well as more existential issues.
You can come to spiritual healing with a specific idea in mind, like an area of pain or felt imbalance in your body. It can also be more existential, like a feeling of being stuck in your life, an area of your life you feel held back in, or vaguer feelings of emptiness, disconnection, or repeating patterns that you would like to heal.
It may also be emotionally based, such as a desire to work with anger, fear, depression, or grief. Many people come to spiritual healing because they wish to break through patterns of being (places they feel stuck, or beliefs that they wish to release), or because they wish to turn over a new leaf in their lives.
Spiritual healing works from the basis of understanding that all of our imbalances– physical, emotional, mental, spiritual– come from some level of disconnection. The purpose of spiritual healing is to resolve that disconnection, and to become connected in a loving way to ourselves, to others, and to the world (cosmos, etc.)
I am a generalist (meaning I work with a wide spectrum of people), but have worked extensively with people undergoing spiritual awakening, who have had difficulty after retreats/workshops/psychedelic experiences, and those who wish to explore the depths of themselves (typically who are some type of practitioner or clinician themselves or who have had in-depth spiritual practices or experiences for some time).
This work is not a substitution for appropriate medical or therapeutic care. I believe that we heal best when we attend to our suffering through physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Instructions to Contact Me for an Appointment
If you are interested in an appointment, you are welcome to contact me. Please include what you may want to focus on during a session (a paragraph or two about why you are seeking spiritual-energetic healing. Please do not send more than a few paragraphs).
I will then sit with if I (as well as my spirits) can be of service to you. If we can, you will be sent a link to my booking calendar. I do not have earlier appointments for new clients than what is listed at the top of the page.
If I cannot, I will let you know, or may invite you to re-apply at some point in the future.
I do realize that this type of contact is a bit different than what people may be used to. The short answer to this is that I want to do my best to ensure that I can be of service to people prior to them booking.
Extra consideration is offered for those who write the word rusalka when contacting me (it shows that you have read this and understand what an appointment is about).
Please note: I do not take clients who feel as if something spiritual is chasing them or attached to them.
Sessions are distance (phone, Skype, or Zoom), approximately 60 minutes in length, and are $200 US for new clients and $150 US per session for returning clients. The sessions I offer are audio only (no video) as this allows for us to focus on deeper considerations during the appointment.
I offer appointments Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 7:30 am-5:30 pm CST/Chicago time- last appointment starts at 4:00 or 4:30 pm).
You can contact me here to book an appointment, or for questions regarding appointments
If you wish to read about the type of work I offer, I recommend my books The Body Deva or The Shamanic Workbook series. You may also be interested in Shadow Work for the Soul. None of these books are required reading prior to an appointment with me, however.
