PRIVATE HEALING SESSIONS BY APPOINTMENT
She has dedicated her life to learning and teaching the wisdom of the Dine' people.
"Her prayers can awaken the thunder and cause the holy wind to enter the room. In her ceremonies my body has turned blue, shaken wildly, as my eyes observed lightning fill the room. I say these things as a testimony of her relationship with the Holy Ones."
