Ivy is a visionary artist, extensively trained and practiced in Egyptian High Magick, who has been admitted to the sixth level in the Sirius Tibetan Energy Empowerment System and is a formal Initiate of Peruvian Shamanism.
She has studied under native healers in the Amazon Jungle, and following the traditions of Indian cultures, she has fasted, sweated, danced her prayers, engaged in spiritual discipline, entered lengthy vision quests in the deep deserts, and accepted knowledge from some of the great healers, medicine people, and magicians of our time.

Ivy has traveled to the heart of Hopiland, where she is affectionately known as "Auntie Ivy," and where she provided acupuncture healing services to the Hopi Indians, in turn learning about healing and the Katchina tradition while living in a Hogan with an aged and highly-respected Medicine Man.

Ivy's experience has shown that, "Healing occurs as we begin to unravel the knots of consciousness that have trapped us in our past, our habits, and our fears. These knots constrict our very life force, causing illness and unhappiness. Most of us have forgotten who we really are - and this is our illness and our discontent."
Ivy has been identified as a "psychic medium" by her Shamanic teachers and she works deeply with clients using the appropriate modalities for each person including energy healing, acupuncture, herbology, massage, and spiritual counseling to free people and to bring them into health and peace.
