- How did you get started doing this type of work?
The start of my healing practice was also the start of my shamanic path. In the summer of 2022, my deceased Norwegian grandfather called me to the path of Reindeer Shamanism. During a healing session, I discovered that my grandfather was once my guardian and shamanic teacher when we lived with the Reindeer Tribe. These were people who followed the migrating herds of reindeer across the Scandinavian Arctic thousands of years ago. He told me I was meant to bring Reindeer Medicine back to the world. At the time, I had no idea what that meant. I did know that I was being called to start up a healing practice, and began my professional Reiki practice later that year. Over a period of four months, I would further experience that past life, along with spontaneous shamanic journeying, visits from my deceased mother (my grandfather's daughter), and other messages. All these experiences guided me to step back onto the shamanic path I had been on in that Arctic past life. I eventually learned that I died as a young woman during my shamanic initiation, failing a test of strength at the age of thirteen. Returning to that path as a mother and mature woman completed my initiation. This took place in the spirit realm in a ceremony led by my Grandfather at the end of 2022. Our lineage of Reindeer Shamans guided my initiation, lifting me up as their shaman in the physical realm. I continue to work in the spirit realm with my shamanic guides, learning our tradition to bring into the present. The result has been the rebirth of this ancient tradition of shamanism. I am bringing it forth so that others can experience and practice the healing art of Reindeer Medicine.
