A few years ago, after the birth of my son, I went through a devastating bout of post-partum depression and sleep deprivation. At year 3, when my baby finally started sleeping through the night regularly, my health completely bottomed out. I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, an autoimmune malfunction. It was incapacitating.
Somewhere in there, I built a small altar space on the top of my piano and began praying. Hard. This is when things began to change for me. Soon a teacher appeared and I completed my first medicine wheel. Next I was led to study in the medicine of my ancestors, which led me to Angela and the 7-Threads lineage.
Throughout this past year of study I have fostered my relationship with the spirits, my ancestors and my guides, I have deepened my connection to the dreamstate and begun to receive messages therein. I have studied in the rich and intricate cosmology of the Celts and I have had some amazing breakthroughs - some powerful, others subtle. Basically all of these shifts started happening - mainly in my relationships - and these shifts made me aware of how much weight I’ve been carrying from the past and how much it effects my present. I began the process of loosening from these old skins and shedding them, and somewhere during this process my body began to heal. All my blood work is back to normal today - I still have Graves', but it’s in a kind of remission.
Angela is a fantastic shamanic teacher and healer. She has a soft and subtle way that is all her own, and different than my other teachers. The spirits are strong with her, but she does not carry them heavily or loudly. My first impressions of her were light and sparkly and full of laughter - and then I was delighted to find that she is also very powerful, very knowledgable and has a ton of information to pass on to students. Her years of experience with spiritual leadership and counselling shine through her teaching. I am honoured to be her student and grateful I chose to walk with her on this path.
