Brooke's Journey - in her own words
My journey into the healing arts began 29 years ago, sitting in a sacred women’s circle where a midwife shared the magic of assisting new life onto this planet. This was soon after my son was born, and the midwife’s words of empowerment spoke to me. Although I did not have a challenging birth experience, I did not feel empowered during it. Listening to the midwife that night, I clearly knew that I had found my vocation to support others during this significant transition. My path initially led to nursing school in 1996, and then I became a Certified Nurse-Midwife in 2011. Since that time, I have been gifted to assist over 1200 families during their pregnancy and birth experience, initially in Maryland, then from 2017-2022, serving the Dine’ people of the Navajo Nation in Arizona, and now part-time in Washington. I have always perceived pregnancy and birth as spiritual experiences, and I approached every birth as such. Still, spirituality and birth were not a conversation that came up often between clients and myself. In 2020, I felt the draw to share this aspect of myself more fully with others and in my work.
I was called to a spiritual path from a young age, pondering early on how nonsensical it was that God would save one religious group and damn another. I grew up in the Catholic Church but experienced resistance to its dogma. In my twenties, I was blessed to participate in a community learning traditional Cherokee teachings based on the work of Eli Gatoga and the Good Medicine Society. These teachings felt like coming home. This community regularly met for sweat lodges, ceremonies, and classes. We prayed, drummed, danced, and ate in community in a good way on the Red Road path. My teachers during this time, Carol Marcy, Duncan Sings-Alone, Grandmother Alloday, and Clyde Hall, were either of Lakota or Cherokee ancestry or teaching its philosophy, and I was blessed to be immersed in these nature and unity-based teachings at such a young age. These teachings have been the foundation of my practice for years.
When COVID began, I searched for connection and community virtually and was blessed to reconnect with Starfeather, a Medicine Woman and mentor I had known since my 20s. During COVID (and ongoing), she held weekly online meditation groups. Additionally, I connected with Emily Laine and Robert Layton of Advanced Soul Recovery, who became my Multidimensional Consciousness and Embodiment Training teachers. These experiences launched another level of reflection and growth for me. From 2020-2022, I completed the four-level intensive Multidimensional Training, its mission to empower attendees with the tools, training, and personal guidance for transformation, soul expression, empowerment, and healing for ourselves and on behalf of others. During this time, I began to experience the traditional healthcare system as restrictive and suffocating and was led to embody the vocation of midwifery in an even more profound way. And so, what does that look like for me? It means minimizing down and following my heart and guidance, which has led me to the Pacific Northwest. I have now transitioned to attending births part time, as I expand my energy healing business.
In this work as a Multidimensional Energy Healer and Energy Channel, I shine light on your personal journey of awakening. I carry the lineage of Divine Birth, which applies to all transitions in life, not just bringing human life into this world. I illuminate the path and hold space for individuals during times of great transformation and rebirth, accompanying you on your journey home to the Truth of who you are beyond the stories, wounds, and self-doubt. Using multidimensional energy healing, shamanic journey techniques, and a deep understanding of walking the path myself, I accompany and illuminate your journey of integration, embodiment, and activation of self-love and empowerment as the Truth of your Soul Emerges. I am honored to walk this journey with you.
With deep sincerity and love, Brooke
