About Doug

Becoming a traditional singer has demanded I take a lifelong, arduous journey that began when I struggled through years of sexual abuse as a boy.  During that time, I would retreat to a nearby woods to try to find some refuge from my ordeals, and it was there that I was opened to what we in this culture would call some mystical experiences with the earth and God.  These experiences first saved my life as a boy because they tangibly showed me I wasn’t alone, and then they grew and matured over time until I was eventually given the songs of Life and guided into the path of becoming a healer as an adult.  What makes my journey as a healer unique is that it’s the same basic process that Native American healers have traditionally opened to within their cultures, but I’m not a Native.  I’m a white man that has grown up in our modern culture. 

When I received song, I had to learn how to use it by first applying it to my own severe state of debilitation, and then from there I started working with others that were in need.  I initially worked with clients face-to-face, and then transitioned to doing phone work after about 5 years and solely worked over the phone for over 15 years.  I now offer both options—I have an office in Tucson where I see local clients.

As a practitioner, I strive to bring a caring and respectful presence that my clients can learn to trust because it works in giving them the support and guidance they need.  I’ve given much of my life to the healing way that I’m a part of, and I’m proud of the impact it has had in both my and my client’s lives.  I consider myself to be a down to earth, practical, and focused practitioner that loves to share the power of this work with those that are willing and able to meet it.
