My Story - How my life has guided me into a path of service and healing:

I realized at quite a young age that I perceived the world differently then others. My senses were heightened and I knew things that I didn't understand. I was a challenge to my parents, as they were perplexed by my questions and view of the world. I felt a deep connection to nature, and was able to feel energy shifts in the environment as well as in people.

A turning point in my youth took place, at the age of eight. I was playing with my best friend when I got a vision that he was sick and going to die. I tried to pass this intuition onto the adults in my life. They passed it off, as a child who was talking nonsense. A year later my friend collapsed, and sadly, died. He had a brain tumor that had been growing over the past year which resulted in his death. This had a profound, yet painful, effect on my life. The impact of this experience was overwhelming for me. I withdrew into a space of trying to repress my senses. Childhood ensued. I continued to have occasional glimmers of intuitive knowledge. I learned to keep it to myself and attempted to blend, always feeling different from my peers. I was able to find balance through the expression of art and connecting to nature. I attended Rhode Island School of Design where I received my BFA. Yet I always felt that I had a higher purpose then working as an artist.

I am of the belief that everything happens for a reason. All events have learning and are there to open us up to new possibilities and opportunities. A major shift in my life grew out of a near death experience as I delivered my first child over 25 years ago. My uterus ruptured. This was quite traumatic, as I had planned a natural birth and a positive experience. At the same time it gave me a new appreciation for life, my gifts and propelled me into a new direction. My recovery was difficult which lead me to alternative practices. My journey back to health was influential in my development as a healer. I took trainings in Reiki, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Herbs, Art Therapy, Koshu Ryu Kempo, Qigong and Yoga. I investigated Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Ayurvedic Medicine and Eastern Philosophy. I practiced and gained experience using these techniques. Through divine intervention, I was guided to formalize my training in Eastern Medicine and Shiatsu. This came about after a period of meditation and prayer around the best use of my creativity. I had just completed a busy and frustrating season working as an artist. I felt I was compromising my creativity to produce a marketable line of products. I was in a phase of soul searching and I was seeking guidance. At the time I thought that I wanted to produce art that sent out healing vibrations in the form of large scale one of a kind gallery work. Sometimes messages come in profound and unexpected ways. I was shopping at Whole Foods (Bread and Circus) when a book fell off of the shelf and landed at my feet. There was magnetism about this book that I could not deny. Now, as I look back, I believe it was dropped at that moment by a divine guardian angel. This book was my first glance at Shiatsu. I could have very easily returned this book to the shelf as my left-brain reminded me that I was there to purchase food. I listened to my intuition and stuck it in the carriage. When the cashier rung up the book he commented that a shiatsu school had just opened up near by and that there was a poster on the way out advertising the open house to take place the next day. I attended the open house and without a second thought, found myself signing up to take the program, which began the following week. From that moment on, my life transformed.

Shiatsu and the circular science of Chinese Medicine made perfect sense to me. The concepts that were hard for some to grasp, came second nature to me. I could sense and feel the energy pulsating through my meridians. I immediately could sense what acupoints were active and whether they were excessive or deficient in nature. The process and learning was so easy for me that the director of the school asked if I would be his apprentice and assist in teaching classes after completing my first 2 classes. I immediately started to create and channel new techniques that had a profound effect on the body. I had no idea that my true creativity would be channeled in this way. This was my first step towards making a bigger contribution to the world then I could ever imagine.  My background in art had given me creative expression in the world. This was infused into the way that I approached my life, my treatments and how I teach. I began to look at the body as a piece of art. Each piece beautiful and unique and needing tender loving care to prevent stress and dis-ease. My medium became the power of touch and  a listening ear.  I began to use my creativity to design new techniques allowing me to manifest a healing dance with body, energy and spirit.  My goal being  to empower and restore  each individual I touch to their true nature and health.

The story continues as I have had many adventures pursuing my passion for assisting others on their journey towards transformation and health. Unbelievable experiences in Arizona as I was guided to study the Native traditions. My personal vision quest as I have searched my own soul and the journey into living up to, and the changing of my name. Spirit Web is the name given to me by several native healers none of which knew each other. It has been said that to live into my medicine (The ability to weave body and spirit together as a cohesive whole) I needed to take on the name. It took me several years of getting this message sent to me in different forms before I actually changed my last name to Web. My shamanic journey continued as I studied the Incan traditions. Then there was my month in Maui learning Lomi Lomi Massage and the traditions of the Kahunas, were I had another brush with death. I was doing ceremony with native healers at the sacred birthing pools which were naturally carved over time by the waves into the side of a 50 foot cliff.  We had to use ropes to climb down into this area which is known only to the natives. It was a calm clear day,  when out of no where I Iooked up at a  30 foot wave quickly approaching. I had no time to move so I opened up my arms to embrace the impact. I was picked up into the air and slammed down onto the rocks of the natural pool where I was ping ponged around and almost washed over the cliff which would have been a drop to the ocean.  I was able to hold onto a rock as the wave washed over me. I climbed off the cliff edge with just a few scratches and bruises. I was told that it was a miracle that I  survived especially without any broken bones or need for stitches. The fact that I was  able to hold on and not get washed over the side with the force of the wave was seen as a blessing from the divine.  I had been gifted with the healing power and energy from the sea.  This encounter with a force of nature was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

All of my expereiences have altered my reality and guidied me on my journey towards  contributing to others.  and hopefully making a difference in the world. The art of healing has become my vehicle for expression although I still use the art of photography and collage to express myself  emotionally and spiritually.

I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. It is our goal on earth to be joyful, share love and make a difference in the world. The path to happiness is a road to self-realization and acceptance. True health involves the discovery of balance within. As we learn to accept that our life experiences are part of our spiritual learning, manifesting in our human existence, we enter into a space of harmony and ease. Self love and compassion expands beyond us and contributes to the health of humanity and ultimately points to the health of the planet. Through the restoration of our holistic nature we can live more relaxed, in health and have a sense of purpose within the world. It is my life purpose to make a difference through guiding others into this space of peace and harmony.
