She is also a trained trance dance facilitator and an ordained minister in the Circle of the Sacred Earth. Jeanne is a frequent speaker at Holistic Health Expos, and presenter at numerous spiritual/shamanic gatherings and retreats.

Jeanne holds weekend shamanic retreats which address the new earth changes, star visitors, and moving into the 5th dimension.  Her retreats are life changing events with focus on community, healing and our connection with the universe.

She holds a BS degree in Applied Psychology and a MA degree in Human Development with focus areas in transpersonal psychology, ecopsychology, grief and bereavement counseling and education and shamanism. Jeanne was a family counselor for 14 years until she decided to devote her time to her spiritual work full-time.
