Anyone hear of this person. She has written a book, The Hollow Bone. It was co-authored by Sandra Ingerman, so that tells me a lot. ;) and here is her bio:

Most of her claims and treatments are pretty vague, which is typical of the core shamanism types. I don't see any evidence that anything she does works besides making the clients feel good. But I also don't see any signs of the worser abuses we often see, deception, etc.

The worst to be said about her is selling ceremony, a knockoff of medicine wheels.
