ABOUT CORINNE
Corinne aka Whirling Rainbow Star
Medicine Woman – Herbalist – Psychopomp and Teacher
I studied Shamanism and became a Featherway Teacher with Garrett Duncan of Navajo Illuminations and completed herbal immersion classes from the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine. Along with, being a certified crystal healer, Akashic records reader and Priestess in the Order of Melchizedek.
I learned that I am a psychopomp, a shamanic term for someone who can usher the dead to the unseen realms and who can help ease the journey of those who are crossing over.
