Chickpea has been working in and exploring healing and spirituality for most of their life. As a college student, they focused on worker health and safety within various industries.
Later travels exposed them to the world of Homeopathy. They completed a post-baccalaureate program in Homeopathy and practiced both in Scotland and in the US. During that same time, Chickpea stumbled upon yoga as a practice, which eventually led to them completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2016.
After the sudden death of their Dad, they returned to the US and eventually found their way into Nursing school.
They've been a Registered Nurse since 2001 and have practiced in a number of settings and specialties, including large urban hospitals, rural hospitals, youth corrections, Oncology, Medical Surgical, international disaster relief, Case Management and community health.
During their own health challenges, Chickpea was guided to the teachings of Linda Star Wolf, the creator of Shamanic Breathwork. A two-week Shamanic Breathwork resulted in a return of vitality for them and led them to pursue and become a Certified Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator through Venus Rising Association for Transformation.
Chickpea's purpose is to walk with people through life's transitions and transformations.
