Jeannine Brown is a lifelong healer, herbalist, and shamanic practitioner. She has over 25+ years’ experience working in the healing arts. Her life’s work as a healer evolved naturally, creatively and consciously. At the age of 17, she awakened to her unique spiritual path, through her self-diagnosis of narcolepsy, which directed her towards her life’s work of “walking between worlds” and communicating in and through multidimensional realms of Spirit. In her early 20’s she took her first job as a rural community healthcare worker with the U.S. Peace Corps in Morocco, where she assisted women and children in many health-related projects, including women and children’s health education, clean water projects, midwife training, and more. Returning to the States, and following the call to the Pacific Northwest, she pursued her passion in the healing arts and began extensive training in western shamanism with Jan Engels-Smith and the Lightsong School of Shamanic Studies at the foothills of Mt. Hood in Oregon. Feeling her natural close connection to the Earth and the plant medicines, she studied at the Elderberry School of Botanical Studies in Oregon and became a traditional herbalist. In 2006 she continued her medicine studies, beginning a 15+ year study in Traditional Chinese Medicine with shaman Master Zhongxian Wu, learning arts of shamanic qigong (“energy work”), internal alchemy, shamanism, and healing. She has also had the great honor of learning from some of Earth’s greatest medicine women of our time, including Sonja Grace, Vivienne Chauvet, Debbie Solaris, and Dr. Penny Kelly, ND.

She began Cedar Moon Healing Arts, LLC in 2010 to extend her healing gifts to the public. Today, she offers intuitive oracle card readings, individual energy healing sessions, group meditation circles, plant medicine teachings, and an online sacred Earth apothecary. It is her path and joy to work as a traditional medicine person, walking in harmony and balance, in service to humanity and the Earth.
