cobrawildshaman's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Aug 22, 2022

- I became a healer to help people improve their lives and Earth experience. I am a 4th generation healer/medicine person. Besides it being the family calling, I just love holding space for people's healing and transformation. From the time I was very young I was caring for and healing animals I would find who were injured or abandoned. I would help my mom care for my grandmother when she was sick. These times were always when I felt most in flow and presence. Intuition flows naturally for me in these healing spaces. And by helping individuals find great health, peace, and well-being it ripples out into the world creating greater peace and love for the whole collective to experience!

- I'm a shapeshifter. But a benevolent one! Like many other shamans I work with spirits and animal familiars to call in different energies or tap into different modalities of healing frequencies. Along with these shifts you may notice my energy going from very calm and grounded to more playful and light. It may start off as very confident and instructive, but then notice me become very receptive or submissive later when that energyplay is needed. It even happens with my looks - one day a wild man that just crawled out of the woods, then later that evening dressed in stars and moons for elegant healing ceremony. Don't be surprised by the beasts that you see express in our time together - I promise, they all hold your in love and want your highest good and well-being.

- I would consider myself as "living nomadically" currently. My work takes me all over the world guiding ceremonies and offering workshops and retreats for spiritual journeyers. It seems I spend about half of the year out traveling, and half at home (wherever home is at the time - currently Asheville, NC but relocating to Los Angeles). I also regularly visit Mexico City, Mexico, Austin, Texas, Salt Lake City, Utah. I love checking in on my communities in these different and diverse places. And I love when I got the opportunity to travel with a client or a to healplay with a client in a new place I haven't visited! Or an old favorite.
That said, even when I'm traveling I value my time at home resting and refreshing.

- I am a big time adventurer and explorer, especially anything in beautiful nature. I love camping, hiking, rock climbing, sailing, and kayaking. I enjoy practicing yoga and meditation. I love supporting my community of friends and family. I love learning as well! Workshops, training courses, healer conferences - I love trying new things and playing with new energy and magic!

- By the time I worked with my first healing patient I had already been teaching yoga, guiding meditations, and offering nutrition plans for years, but I was still really nervous! I was feeling called to offer more intimate and hands-on healing spaces, and had recently finished certifying in Reiki. But it was his first time receiving Reiki, so he showed up a little nervous. Immediately I felt more at ease and better prepared knowing that he and I would be taking the journey together. It helped my confidence to know that he trusted me and once I was at ease I felt in power again to hold safe, loving, healing space for my client. We shared a beautiful and transcendent experience, feeling one another's spirits and bodies, communing with spirits, crying, and rejoicing. It's when I knew I was where I was meant to be.
