About Kim
Think ancient forest meets cosmic library
I’m a shamanic practitioner, teacher, and translator between worlds. My practice weaves together Celtic traditions, the Northern path, and Star Shamanism.
My work lives where old trees, ancestral memory, star paths and modern life meet. Across time, people have turned to stars, sun, story, and ceremony to remember their place in the greater pattern. I carry that thread through dimensional journeying, star wisdom, and embodied spiritual practice, bringing what emerges back into daily life with care and grounded presence.
My courses and apprenticeships are thresholds: part guided journey, part conversation, part lantern-lit path into a living relationship with your own gifts. Whether you are feeling the first spiritual pull or are an experienced practitioner seeking to expand and embody more, you are welcome here.
"A story, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.” Madeleine L’Engle
Our lives are made up of the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we inherit and the stories we share with others. We may feel stuck, but we can still shift, because our stories are unfolding.

My Story
I was the girl who climbed trees, played with the wind and felt currents in rooms before anyone spoke. I loved magic, music, and imagination.
My grandma grew up in the Ruthenian church, carrying a belief in miracles, her own gifts, and underdogs finding a way through. I treasured her pierogies, her kindness, and the talks we shared.
On my Irish side, I inherited stories of hardship and resilience, including about my grandfather who died while his six children were still in school.
I devoured stories of underdogs who found a way forward. To me, aliveness lives in caring, persistence, and the healing we tend within ourselves, through our lineages, and in our communities.
I wanted stability. So I gathered advanced degrees like armor and learned to succeed in the visible world.
Before this work became public, I moved through other demanding spaces: law, advocacy, public service, and international affairs. Those experiences did not take me away from Spirit. They taught me how much care, discernment, and courage are needed when I sit with another person’s life.
Listening to my Soul Song.
When my great-aunt was dying, she began telling me stories of my great-grandmother, a healer in the Carpathian Mountains. Her words opened something old in me.
At the same time, I kept receiving reminders of my spiritual gifts while the life I had built felt increasingly out of balance. Then I understood: my spirit was not asking for a corner of my life. It was asking to breathe through the whole of it.
Initiation.
My path opened through a year-long apprenticeship in Earth-based shamanism with two teachers holding Norse and Celtic lineages. That work rooted me: guides, trees, ancestors, spirits, ceremony, and old ways of listening.
In my next apprenticeship, my spirit learned to travel among the stars.
I spent three intensive years, including immersive periods in Ireland, in a one-on-one, advanced apprenticeship in Star Shamanism with an Irish shamanic elder, an experience that nourished and challenged me. I learned new ways of journeying through dimensions and deepened my trust in Source, my own inner knowing, and the wider intelligence moving through the universe. My relationship with healing and the unseen expanded, and the map of what I understood as possible was redrawn.
I continued with additional runic study and entered a two-year shamanic apprenticeship in the Northern Path, strengthening my relationship with the runes and Northern spiritual practices.
I did not take a gentle turn. I crossed a threshold witnessed by my ancestors, guides and a wide night sky. I moved with my whole life lit.
What this means for my work
I do not believe spiritual growth is an escape from ordinary life. I help people listen more honestly to what is asking for attention, and bring sacred energies back into the body, the creative life, and the everyday path.
You remain the one who knows your life from the inside. My role is to offer a grounded, responsive space for exploration, insight and meaningful change.
My Practice
Star Shamanism.
I work with cosmic currents and multidimensional fields while anchoring the work in the body, nervous system, choices, voice, and everyday life.
Earth Shamanism: Celtic and Norse.
I guide people toward deeper healing and reclamation with care, consent, and grounded presence.
Womb Shamanism.
I support relationship with the creative and intuitive center within the body: root, portal, memory, and possibility.
Sound Healing.
I work with alchemy crystal singing bowls and layered resonance to support the nervous system, soften resistance, and create space for healing.
Little joys.
Outside of my shamanic work, I bake, play music, collect warm drink recommendations, garden, and love finding places worth wandering into. I love mystery, honest conversation, stories, and a very good snack.
