Hi, I’m Dusty and this is a little about why I do what I do. Thank you for your precious time.
I believe that the part of us that is connected to everything in the Universe, Great Spirit, Creation is where true healing takes place, ware time shifts, outlooks change and balanced flow happens. That the state of wellness is vibrant, it’s health…. it’s happy…. and the way to get there is through empowerment, exploration, openness, responsibility, and freedom of choice. That in itself is a way of life and it does not come neatly packaged in a container with an easy release pull tab on it.  
My journey to being a Medicine Woman is full of stories and experiences that shaped my life. One to share. In 1998 I had hip pain so bad that I was in tears half the night of the week. I went to allopathic doctors that ran tests took imaging and determined there was nothing wrong with me and sent me home with three months worth of pain medication. I tried it for a week and it didn’t even touch my pain but it made me feel groggy, sick and out of sorts. I managed with stretching but still no true relief. I found it years later 2007 in a Toning Circle (a gathering often in a circle that uses the sound of voice or instrument to heal) with people I respect to this day. The searing pain lifted in a matter of moments and only the physical imbalances remained. These imbalances still needed help I still had discomfort even after this amazing relief. I found the balance and strength I needed through Massage and Yoga. 
At that Toning Circle, I knew that I wanted to help people who had lost hope in relief from there ailments. That couldn’t be healed through conventional medicine and were open to and in need of healing from within. I started practicing energy healing, working with my Guides/Guardians through meditation and energy testing, Healing Plants and Herbs from the earth. I was already in my first year of Massage School at this time and I found myself so excited that this healing touch could be so helpful and in line with my goals. The ability to help people in ways other professions were not built to do. I received my Massage License in 2008. Over the years I have studied, volunteered and interned with Medicine Women and Men. I learn from and work with healing plants to help people heal for over 15 years. I have studied multiple massage modalities such as Myofascial Release, Thai Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Cupping, Active Motion Release. I am truly so grateful for all my teachers' time and energy. I found what resonates with me and helps me and I do what I can to help others. 
I also love to play and for me, play is a very important part of a healthy life. Mine is Hiking, Creating Art, Dance and being part of a Green and Progressive Community. Hot Springs are my weakness totally my Achilles heel.
