My name is Wahkeena Sitka Tidepool Ripple. I am 29 years old, have lived in Portland OR for five years and am in the process of re-locating to Ashland OR. I am going through a major transformational process, both inner and outer. I am a transformation specialist, gifted polyrhythmic and overtone vocalist, trance channel, an ecstatic dancer, and mystic artisan. I was born in Ohio in an Anabaptist Christian family, went to college in Michigan and moved to the West Coast at age 23 while living out of a backpack during a mystical pilgrimage. So I have first hand experience of the power of transformation and healing. Since age 18, I have been deeply driven by the quest for healing, mysticism, shamanism, spiritual ecstasy, and being guided in the flow of grace. I have spent time as a travelling gypsy travelling around the United States, and living in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, travelling through Yucatan & Chiapas Mexico and connecting to the Inkan and Amazonian shamanic medicinas in Peru ~ But I love my community and home in the West Coast. Offering this work fills me with tremendous joy and gratitude.

      5 Years of Tantric Bodywork Practice
      Thai Massage with D'vorah Swarzmann
