With the loving support of my husband and my son, I walk this Red Road as a humble helper. I have been fortunate in my journey as I have sat with many amazing teachers and mentors who have guided me with gentle hands and loving words. I am lucky to work with multiple organizations and in the community to bring traditional ceremony to the people who wish to partake and hope to do so in a meaningful way. It is always an honour to be invited to speak and share with community members. Chi-miigwech!
