NOTE!  I am currently on an extended sabbatical.  In December 2018, I closed my practice and embarked on an inner and outer journey.  Leaving Winston-Salem on 1/2/2019 in my teardrop camper and 4Runner, I have covered many, many miles, have dived into beautiful landscapes and have been taught many lessons.  At this time, I don't know  when I will return.  My reasons for doing this are many.  Please feel free to utilize the resources on this website and check back to see what's happening next.

Wilderness Fusion

A school for healers, in the lineage of Grandfather Stalking Wolf.  This earth-based, body-focused healing work is taught in a four-year program for NIASZIIhealing Practitioners and a seven-year program for NIASZIIH Healers.  This program has been invaluable for me, a powerful mirror and more.  I just finished my sixth year.  As founder, Karl Direske says: NIASZIIHhealing is the earth-centric healing philosophy that allows the healer to become the place of healing.Check it out to learn more.
