I was born and raised in Ottawa and have lived in various parts of the city over the years to finally settle in Orleans. I am a fully bilingual Franco-Ontarian, have been married to my loving wife for over 50 years and have two adult children. I am currently retired having spent most of my career working in the public sector at the local level.
I started my healing journey in 2007 and although I healed many emotional and spiritual wounds, I felt and knew that there was something more that needed to be done for me to find the understanding, self acceptance, inner peace and joy I sought. I was introduced to shamanic healing by one of Pete Bernard’s (Algonquin Medicine Man’s) former students in 2009 and at once felt drawn to these teachings and medicine. I started my training with Pete in the fall of 2010 completing it in the spring of 2013. I have also had the opportunity and privilege of being a teaching assistant to Pete in The 8th Fire’s Professional 2-Year Shamanism Training Program for the 2013-2015 weekend class and again for the 2016-2018 weekend class and the 2017-2019 intensive class.
Completing The 8th Fire’s Shamanism Training Program was a truly profound life changing experience. The training has given me a new outlook on life and has helped me flourish in my relationship with myself, others, Spirit and all Life. In addition to providing me much healing and insight, my training in traditional medicine work has given me the needed skills and consciousness to enable me to be of service to others in guiding them in their own healing.
On my journey to healing myself and to fulfilling my desire to be of service, I previously trained in other healing and coaching modalities and practiced for several years as a Journey Practitioner and Certified Conscious Coach in Visionary Leadership. I know however that I have found my true niche, my home, in this traditional Algonquin medicine work. I believe and know that it can address physical, emotional, spiritual and karmic wounds or blockages that prevent you from living the life you were meant to live. In addition, I believe that it addresses and heals the wound at its source in the energy or spirit body and thus heals the ailment, wound or blockage on many levels. I also believe that although I can assist or guide you in your healing by using a variety of energy healing, ceremony or journeying techniques that, ultimately, the healing essentially comes from within yourself. It is as such always an honour and privilege to be of service in guiding you in your healing.
I have had a private traditional medicine work practice in my home since 2013. I have also been graced with the opportunity to participate in several charity fundraising events and workshops including the annual Statistics Canada Wellness Clinic where I provided energy healing sessions. It is always an honour to be of service.
As with The 8th Fire and Algonquin Medicine Man Pete Bernard, I do not provide medical or psychological services. Please contact your healthcare provider for those services.
