Josh has come into these practices through his own deep healing and personal discovery. His strong connection with nature has been with him his entire life. His love for nature, backpacking, and mountain climbing brought him to a study of plants and a professional career in landscaping, nurseries, permaculture and small scale farming of food and medicine. This in turn has led him to Shamanic Healing. Dark times are no stranger to Josh. Now clean for 20+ yrs, Josh struggled with  alcoholism, drug abuse, and PTSD. He has learned that healing is attainable, and only out of the darkness comes the light. These experiences allow Josh to bring understanding, compassion, and grounding to his healing practices. Together we can all get through the darkest of tunnels, overcome the hardest of obstacles, and reach the highest of peaks!
