“Two Feathers” was the name gifted to me in Ceremony by Slow Turtle, Supreme Medicine Man of the Wampanoag People. Later, as an adult, I was given my name in my tribal language by my Kasike (chief), which translates to Two Feathered Woman.

​

The symbol of two feathers also reflects a two-eyed seeing approach: using one eye to recognize the strengths of Indigenous knowledge systems and the other to recognize the strengths of Western practices.

​

This balance of traditions and approaches guides all of my work—whether in counseling, workshops, or consulting—and reflects my belief that healing and learning are strongest when rooted in both culture and community.
