About Mara

I am a Shamanic Practitioner & Teacher, Reiki Master/Teacher and Munay-Ki Mentor. I live in San Diego, California – I’m that rare California native. And it feels like my whole life was a continual dance on the edge of shamanism until I discovered I could take actual classes in 2005!

People from around the world “see” me for private sessions, both local and distance, and to learn in both private sessions and group courses about Shamanism and Reiki.

I also lead public events such as the Shamanic Goddess Circle and Shamanic Drumming Circle.

My desire is to facilitate positive change and healing in heart, mind, body, and spirit. To that end I create a sacred space, engage in compassionate listening, and use shamanic tools such as the rattle, drum, didgeridoo, crystals, nature elements and, of course, my relationships with helping spirits and power animals.

With one decision you can make a huge difference in your life. I’ve learned to trust that if I take the first step, the next one will follow, and the next, and there will be people along the way to help. I’d like to be one of the people you trust to help you take your next step.
