As so often happens when one responds to the inner restlessness to be of greater service to the world – the world takes you up on your offer. In Gail’s case, becoming a Reiki Master and an Ordained Interfaith Minister were “the door openers” for what later became years of extensive study in the Healing Arts of multiple modalities.

Over the years Gail has studied the work of a number of teachers whose work is based in native traditions, including Shaman Willaru Huayta of Peru and Mauricio Panniset of Brazil. Closer to home, she has grounded her work with the Native American teachings of Oh Shinnah Fast Wolf, a Warrior Woman and Champion of “Journey of the Waters” – a spiritual sojourn to ancient healing waters covering more than 400 miles of land across New Mexico and Colorado. Gail has recently been honored by being invited to be an Apprentice of this tradition. This is a complement to her primary studies with Lorraine Simone, also known as Deep Arrow Woman and Oh Shinnah Fast Wolf’s designated lineage holder and Founder of the Women’s Ways Mystery School and Moonfire Meeting House.

All of the above continues to provide, a foundation for Gail’s personal Transitional Healing work. Particularly as most native cultural traditions view the person as more than just the physical body and death not as an end - but the beginning of the next phase of the soul’s journey.

Bringing these traditions and her personal work forward into the community, Gail has worked with the Westchester Medical Center’s Burn Unit, along with cancer patients at both Northern Westchester Medical Center and Putnam Hospital. She has also been affiliated with Dr. Michael Finkelstein and The Center for Health and Healing in Mt. Kisco, N.Y.

While her private practice is located in South Salem, N.Y., she is also currently working as a Healing Arts Consultant with Hospice throughout the Westchester and Putnam area.
