Frequently Asked Questions

We are located at 6320 Monona Drive, suite 313, where Monona and Madison meet.

I do not currently offer online sessions. My work relies on an energetic environment, sensory experiences, and grounded presence that I prefer to deliver in person. The subtle energy, elements, and environmental cues that I use work better when free from distractions, tech issues, or other interference.

In‑person sessions allow for deeper focus, clearer connection, and a more stable energetic connection. Using sensory input such as sound, scent, movement, and touch are most effective when experienced directly. Also, in‑person sessions help cultivate a sense of connection, belonging, and shared healing which can help you feel safer and more supported during your session.

Scheduling time for yourself is important! Appointments can be reserved through our scheduling site. Once there, choose the sessions type you are looking for.

If you are looking to schedule a House Blessing, please contact me so we can discuss your needs and your location.

Some people come because they’re curious about energy work, while others want to invite more joy, clarity, or connection into their life. No matter the reason for visiting, energetic healing helps clients gain a renewed perspective on life events, releasing of old patterns, and opening up to new possibilities.

People seek energetic healing for many different reasons. You don’t need a specific problem or prior experience to benefit. Energetic work and shamanic practices can support you when you’re dealing with an identified challenge, feeling an undefined sense that something needs to shift, looking for deeper self-knowledge, or simply wanting to explore. Many clients report healing at an energetic level helps them access answers, or experience shifts in understanding, faster than talk therapy alone.

As I practice it, energy healing is a spiritual and energetic shift that supports emotional balance, clarity, and connection. I use elements of shamanic practices which include meditation or journeying, intention setting, energy clearing, and energy recall to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom or physical body.

This kind of experience can help with overwhelm, stress, grief, feeling stuck, energetic imbalance, and spiritual disconnection. It offers grounding and clarity, but it does not treat medical conditions or replace professional care. This type of healing practice works alongside standard medical care. It can help you feel more centered and supported, but it does not cure physical or mental health diseases or conditions.

Many clients have mentioned that this energy work helped them reframe their understanding of past experiences or events in ways that allow them to better understand and process with their therapists or counselors. New understandings or breakthroughs have helped when traditional talk therapy has stalled.

Visiting a medium, psychic, or shamanic practitioner is worth it when you’re seeking connection, clarity, or emotional support, and when you understand the limits of what these practices can do. They are not replacements for professional care, but they can be powerful complements to your healing journey. Clients find this work useful for renewed energy, feelings of peace, spiritual connections, or more clarity with events or people in their lives.

People choose Wild Bridges because of the individualized approach and the grounded environment offered here. Every session is shaped by what arises for you specifically. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. I bring a calm, supportive presence that helps people feel comfortable, understood, and open to the work that we’ll accomplish during your session.

Many clients tell me they enjoy the combination of intuitive insight and practical guidance. People also appreciate the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the experiences they receive here. They leave with a clearer sense of themselves and their future possibilities.

My earliest introduction to healing modalities came through a variety of random workshops in spiritual healing, reiki, mediumship and intuition with a variety of teachers and presenters.

More formal education and practice took place with:

• Whispers on the Wind Shamanic Program with Amy Wilinski at Golden Light Healing Center. (Now offered with Tiffany Dorton)
• Advanced work in shamanic practice with Amy Wilinski and with Jose Luis Herrera
• Norse Shamanism with Imelda Almqvist
• Mediumship training with Annette Haak

I believe that cultures throughout the world and throughout time have practiced connecting with the spirit world in numerous ways. My intent is to learn many ways of accessing energy for healing, so that I can best honor the needs of my clients.

No previous experience is needed. I work with clients who have never explored energy work before, as well as those with advanced training in healing modalities.

Wherever you fall on the experience spectrum, your session is tailored to your needs in the moment. You don’t need to prepare or know anything in advance, simply arrive as you are.

People come to healing sessions for many different reasons, and all of them are valid. Most clients tend to fall into one of four groups:

• Identified concerns — You have a specific issue you want to resolve or understand more deeply.

• Unclear concerns — You feel something is off or needs to change, even if you can’t name it yet.

• Curiosity — You’re interested in exploring energy work without a particular goal in mind.

• Enhanced wellbeing — You’re not seeking major change but want to invite more joy, ease, or balance into your life.

No matter where you begin, clients typically leave with a renewed understanding of their life experiences and a broader sense of future possibilities.

There are no special requirements needed to prepare for your session. At the time of your appointment we will discuss the goals you have that day. You are invited to bring an offering or small gift such as flowers or candy for the angels, ancestors or spirit guides who may work with you at your appointment, but it is not required.

You are encouraged to dress comfortably, bring a water bottle, and to refrain from using alcohol or recreational drugs before your visit.

After scheduling your appointment, you may begin to feel things shifting or bubbling up to your awareness before your session. This is normal as your healing began as soon as you committed to your session.

A healing session is a guided experience designed to help you explore your inner landscape and shift the energies, patterns or beliefs influencing your life. Typical sessions last between 1.5-2 hours. Each session is unique, but most follow a similar flow:

• Initial conversation — We begin by discussing what brings you in, whether it’s a specific concern, a general sense that something needs to shift, or outright curiosity.

• Energetic assessment — I tune into your energy to understand what’s active, blocked, or ready to transform.

• Healing work — Depending on your needs, this may include energy clearing, soul retrieval–style work, guided journeying, or supportive practices that help release old patterns and invite new possibilities. You remain fully conscious and engaged throughout.

• Integration and reflection — We close by touching on the events of your session and how you can integrate the insights or shifts that occurred.

After a session you can go about your day as usual. However, many clients find it helpful to treat themselves gently immediately afterwards. They find it helpful to schedule time afterwards to relax and integrate the experiences or information that arose during their session. For some this means visiting a natural area, for others it means a quiet few minutes at home, or perhaps a warm bath, or calming music.

Often ideas or practices come up in the session that can be strengthened through follow-up actions in the days after your session. Clients who find a few minutes daily or a few times a week report feeling more supported, productive or peaceful with their sessions. However, there is nothing you must do and the work started in the session will continue to gently work with you. Some clients find it useful to schedule a follow-up visit with their therapist or doctor to discuss information that they uncovered during their energy sessions.

All clients are encouraged to make healthy food and drink choices, as well as consuming electrolytes on the day of their healing session.

It depends on what you want from the experience. Both options are meaningful — it’s about what feels right for your intentions.

Choose a partner session if you want to explore something together. A joint session is a shared experience designed for two people who want to receive guidance, healing, and insight together. It is a chance for equal participation and you are both welcome to ask questions, share thoughts, or clarify intentions. It is a shared energetic connection so it can be especially helpful for siblings or other family members to heal generational challenges. Trust is vital because everything that comes through is heard by both people. A shared session can be powerful because the energy between two people can reveal themes that don’t appear in solo work.

Choose separate sessions if you want to explore something individually. An individual session is best if you have private questions or personal topics you do not want to explore in front of someone else. Individual sessions are also better when you each have different healing needs, focus or pace. An individual session allows a more personalized experience.

Yes. Healing sessions are available for people of any age and all genders. Persons under 18 must have an adult present during the session.

Sessions for very young children are often shorter to match their attention span, need to move, to explore, and to play. Pricing for these shorter sessions is flexible to reflect the adjusted session length.

If you’re scheduling an appointment for a child, please indicate that when booking.

This work is for everyone. Energy‑based healing is open to all genders — women, men, non‑binary, gender‑expansive, and transgender clients. Sessions are based on your individual needs, so the focus is on your energy, your experiences, and what you want support with.

Clients have expressed appreciation for a space that is inclusive, respectful, and grounded, so you can show up exactly as you are.

Yes. Differences are fully welcome in healing work. Sessions are adapted to your sensory needs, communication style, and comfort level. You don’t need to participate in any prescribed way. The work we do meets you where you are, and your way of experiencing the world is an asset, not a barrier.

Yes. Energy healing can be practiced alongside medical treatment, and sessions can be adapted to your physical comfort, energy levels, and sensory needs. This work supports emotional and spiritual well‑being, but it does not treat medical conditions, change medication effects, or replace professional care. Your health plan should always be guided by your medical support team.

A healing session can support emotional stress related to an illness; reduce fatigue, anxiety or overwhelm; reconnect you to your inner strength; or help you reframe your illness in a different light. You will set the pace of your healing session and your individual needs will be honored.

Energy level healing can help you feel more emotionally balanced, spiritually connected, and energetically supported while you navigate your medical journey. It works with your existing care plan, never in place of it.

A healing session neither cures medical conditions, nor changes your medication. I do not diagnose, treat, or offer medical advice. It is important to share medical concerns at the time of your appointment so we can discuss how it may impact your session.

Yes, it can support people who are living with the effects of trauma, but it is not a replacement for professional mental‑health care. Energetic healing does not offer a cure, but it can be a powerful complement to clinical treatment.

Energetic healing work can help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported by helping you reclaim your connection to your physical body, help release or reframe stored tension or heaviness, gather personal strength and power symbols, and bring in feelings of light or relief around previously heavy feelings or sensations.

Your safety, comfort, and boundaries come first. You set the intentions and the pace for each session. Nothing is done without your permission. If you feel unsure or uncomfortable, you can pause, ask questions, or adjust the session at any time. Your comfort and safety are the priority.

Energy level healing can be a meaningful complement to therapy by helping you reconnect with your intuition, sense of safety, or inner guidance. It’s a gentle practice that focuses on emotional and energetic support rather than diagnosis or treatment.

Sessions are not one‑size‑fits‑all. You receive focused attention, intuitive guidance, and a healing experience created specifically for you. Clients describe the work as deeply transformative, offering clarity, emotional relief, and long‑term shifts that continue well beyond the session itself — making it a meaningful investment in your wellbeing.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs and outcomes, creating space for renewed understanding of your life experiences and a stronger connection to future possibilities. The cost for each session includes prearrival preparation, personalized connection during your session, and follow-up work on your behalf. It also includes the time and resources to create the calm, loving atmosphere needed for the healing journey you will embark on, and all tools or supplies used during your session. There are no add-on costs during your session.

Energy‑based healing is not currently covered by insurance. It’s considered a complementary practice rather than a medical or clinical service. Many clients use this work alongside therapy or other healthcare. It stands on its own as a personal growth or inner exploration modality rather than a medical treatment.

The ability to pay should not stand in the way of healing. If cost is a concern, please contact me to discuss options. Payment can be made with Venmo, Cash or credit card. Payments are expected at the time of your appointment. If you have specific payments needs, please reach out when scheduling your appointment

Clients report benefits from a single session. They often report a sense of newfound peace, power, and understanding. Some clients participate in a single session and feel that their healing journey has brought them to a space which they are happy to remain in.

Other clients have asked for multiple sessions to help clear long-standing issues or beliefs, especially if working with generational patterns that need shifting. Other reasons for multiple sessions include working with complex energy blocks, recurring emotional wounds or life challenges, or when clients find the sessions bring about peace and clarity even if a known problem was not identified.

 A discounted series of three sessions is available for those who would like to commit to multiple healing opportunities.

Many clients report meaningful shifts such as greater clarity, emotional relief, new perspective, or a sense of energetic balance after a single session.

Shamanic or energy‑based healing isn’t a medical treatment. It doesn’t replace professional healthcare. It works at an energetic level, helping you understand what’s happening beyond your physical sensations. It supports you in moving forward with more ease and comfort.

Whether it works for you depends on your openness, your goals, and what you’re hoping to explore. Most clients find the experience helpful, grounding, and insightful, even if they arrive unsure of what to expect.

Mediumship is a gentle, supportive practice. Many clients find the experience of working with a medium to be emotionally or spiritually meaningful. Different traditions interpret mediumship in different ways — some see it as symbolic communication, some as intuitive insight, and some as literal contact with the spirit world.

Sessions with Wild Bridges are grounded, respectful, and focused on emotional and spiritual well‑being. You remain fully conscious during your reading.

I cannot guarantee a specific person will come through during your session. Communication depends on the readiness and willingness of the spirit, not on my ability (or willingness) to force specific people to communicate. The spirits decide who is ready on a given day. I open the channel and share the messages that come through.

Psychic work is a spiritual and intuitive practice. Many people experience meaningful insights through psychic readings. However, psychic abilities are not scientifically proven and readings should be understood as intuitive guidance rather than guaranteed predictions. Psychic work is meant to offer clarity, comfort, and perspective, not absolute answers. Like mediumship, we can ask questions but the spirits decide what information will be shared.

You do not need to believe in this work for it to be effective. You only need to be open to the experience. Healthy skepticism is welcome.

Ethical psychic or other energy work is grounded in respect, consent, and safety. I do not make fear‑based predictions, guarantee outcomes, or claim absolute truth. My role is to offer insight, not to control your decisions or replace professional care. I offer intuitive perspective, but medical, legal, and financial decisions should always be made with qualified experts.

A house blessing is a spiritual and energetic cleansing of a home. It can be used to revive the feeling within a home, creating a lighter or more peaceful atmosphere. A house blessing can be done at any time but is especially helpful when moving into a new home, after a major life change such as a breakup or loss, after prolonged or heavy conflict or stress in the home, when the energy of your home feels off or heavy, or if you want to create a space for healing or enjoyment.

You are fully involved throughout the process and nothing is done without your permission. Together we align the space with your goals, values, and emotional needs. I use a variety of sound and vibration tools such as drumming, smoke or herbal sprays, and voiced intentions to clear stagnant or heavy energy, restore harmony, and invite protection, harmony, and balance into your space.

A house blessing doesn’t fix structural issues or physical hazards. It supports the emotional and energetic atmosphere of the home. A house blessing is not a substitute for mental health or other medical care.

My practice is not about copying or claiming ownership of any specific Indigenous culture. Modern shamanic and energy‑based practices draw from a wide range of traditions, psychological frameworks, and contemporary healing approaches.

I focus on universal themes of healing, insight, and personal transformation that appears across many cultures and spiritual traditions.

If you have concerns about cultural respect, you are welcome to bring them up. My goal is to ensure the work feels comfortable, ethical, and aligned with your values and needs.

This practice is non‑religious, non‑dogmatic, and adaptable to each client’s unique goals and comfort level. People from all religious or spiritual backgrounds are welcome. This space meets your spirit where it is, offering guidance, clarity, and transformation without requiring any particular belief or tradition. Clients are encouraged to include elements of their religion or spirituality which are meaningful to them.
