Spirit Bird is not a brand, it’s a calling. It didn’t begin with a business plan or a polished offering. It began as a stirring, a whisper, a call that I found confusing. At first, I ignored it and then as it got louder, I actively resisted it. Requests to show up in this new way were met with “I don’t do that.” But the requests continued, the signs grew more obvious, and the call deepened.
After my first Vision Quest in April 2024, everything changed. Spirit Bird revealed itself not as something I was creating, but something that was being created through me. I spoke with my teachers. They supported my remembering and encouraged me to connect with guides in both worlds. I journeyed with my helping spirits. I listened to the land. I started to live my life as a ceremony. The message was clear: this was not mine to ignore. It was mine to carry.
Spirit Bird is my soul’s medicine. A path I’ve been asked to walk. A hollow bone through which something ancient and alive can move. It lives in the liminal in-between spaces - between soul and spirit, between silence and song, between past and future, self and other, human and earth.
It’s a remembering.
The idea to name this calling Spirit Bird was born from a song and a bird. As part of living my life as a ceremony, I take daily walks in nature, rituals of remembering guided by music. Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd, speaks directly to my soul. In moments of heartbreak - about the world, about being human - his words remind me of the circle. That this has all happened before. That Spirit endures.
On these walks I am often met by an anhinga - a quiet, solitary, ancient bird that has become a personal guide. With wings outstretched, drying in the sun, she embodies mystery, perception, and deep knowing. He swims like a shadow, bridging water and air, spirit and the unseen. The anhinga reminds me to pause. To listen. To remember. I am honored by the medicine they carry.
Spirit Bird is not just a name. It is a way of being
- quiet, enduring, and soul-rooted.
I am a spiritual midwife, a ceremonial guide, a woman walking the path of soul remembrance. Not here to lead, fix, or fill but to walk beside you as you remember what has always been within. My work is not about offering answers but helping you hear your own. I do not chart the path, I walk it with you, holding space at the edge of uncertainty, helping you recognize the signs, the helpers, and the guidance already trying to find you.
For the first decade of my career, my work lived in the realm of diagnosis and intervention - categorizing symptoms, assigning labels, and utilizing evidence-based treatments to alleviate distress. Even then, beneath all the training and technique, my work was rooted in love. In honoring the humanity of the people I served. In seeing them not as problems to be solved, but as people in need of sacred attention.
Over time, the cracks in that system became impossible to ignore. I began to question why we divided people into diagnoses, why we labeled suffering as pathology, and why we assumed that healing meant managing symptoms. I no longer believe in fixing people. I believe in helping them to remember.
I believe that healing doesn’t come from being taught - it comes from remembering. From listening. From reconnecting with the sacred wisdom already alive in your body, in the land, and in the quiet language of Spirit.
