Join Me on the Path to Wellness.

Hello! I’m Cynthia, an energy healer, shaman and educator. I help my clients get to the root of their health challenges in energy healing sessions, shamanic body consciousness work, classes, and ceremonies.

I started Inkwood in 2020 with part-time, professional tarot reading and added distance Reiki sessions in 2021. In 2022 a series of unexpected events led me to shift Inkwood into a full-time energy healing practice.

In 2023, Inkwood Healing moved into A Healing Vibration Wellness Center in Westford, MA where I offer energy healing sessions, and classes on Reiki, tarot, and wellness.

In 2024, I introduced my first shamanic healing offerings for Inkwood: Shamanic Body Consciousness Healing and Reindeer Healing Ceremonies. And this is only the beginning! Inkwood will continue to grow and see new ventures as my practice develops.

I hope you’ll join me on the path to lasting wellness!

Reindeer Shamanism

Reindeer Shamanism

I am a practicing Reindeer Shaman from a formerly extinct line of Nordic/Arctic shamans. I was connected with this lineage in a past life many millennia ago where I died during a test of strength in my shamanic initiation. My then shamanic guardian and teacher became my maternal grandfather in this life and contacted me in 2022, thirty years after his death, to bring me back onto the path of Reindeer Shamanism.

Experience & Training

I am a certified Reiki Master and have been practicing Reiki for over 9 years. I’ve worked with people and animals on a wide range of health challenges.

I am also trained and experienced with energy medicine, reflexology, crystal therapy, and shamanism. My prior work as a naturalist helps me integrate nature therapy into my practice.

Spiritual Leadership

I have studied and practiced several spiritual traditions in depth, and am ordained as a Pagan and Interfaith Minister. I offer spiritual guidance and clergy/officiant services to help you through life transitions and spiritual development. 

As part of my shamanic practice, I lead public and private Reindeer Shaman healing ceremonies several times a year.

A Little More About Me

I have a master’s degree in Conservation Biology and worked as a naturalist for 20 years before starting up Inkwood.

I grew up just outside NYC and now live in northern Massachusetts with my wonderful husband, two teen kids, and a slightly very neurotic Czech-bred German Shepherd named Thorin. Despite his lunacy (or perhaps because of it), Thorin has been working as my beloved familiar for the past 12+ years.

I am honored to work part-time as the Education Director for a small Unitarian Universalist church in central MA, in addition to my work at Inkwood. This work supports and affirms my faith, as I work directly with youth to help them find their spiritual way in the world.

Some of my other passions include hiking, practicing martial arts, playing fiddle, and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
