KANAYCHOWA LAYMAN

[debbieredbear]

OMG!! $300 for a "couples sweat"!! This one is one county over from me. The other day while thinking about some of the frauds all I could think of was the old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted." Not all those who buy into this are fools. Some atre desperate, lost and lonely. I am glad that I was instilled with a skeptical nature.

This link is all that was sent to me. Is there a new age paper in Boise? Maybe they will dig up a bio.

I just googled her name and her real first name is Karen. Oh and found this:

"Kanaychowa Layman has been working as a holistic health practitioner and Wolf Clan Shaman for over 15 years. She has studied healing therapies and shamanic practices under the tutelage of many healers and teachers including Master Ilowan, Lelelewa TanoRikiho, Eliot Cowen, Richard Katz and Patricia Kaminski, Dodie Jordan and Barbara Park.
She is a caring, compassionate, perceptive and insightful healer who skillfully designs a personal course of treatment for each individual. She often combines modalities and processes to achieve the maximum result desired.

Kanaychowa is also a teacher and motivational guide who is able to present ideas in a way that people can understand. She uses her psychic gifts and Spiritual counseling techniques to encourage those who dare to step beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary realm of thoughts and ideas and explore new ways of being.

Kanaychowa uses Plant Spirit Medicine an extremely effective modality that combines Traditional Five Element Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy and ancient shamanic healing practices to treat physical, emotional, mental and spiritual challenges. Plant Spirit Medicine helps to bring the whole body into balance and harmony and hold it there so healing can occur on all levels. It is often helpful when everything else has been tried nothing seems to have been able to bring about a change. Plant Spirit Medicine works well with other therapies and usually serves to accelerate the healing processes.

Kanaychowa also uses Flower Essence Therapy, Soul Retrieval, Past Life and Soul readings, Reiki and the Shamanic Journey and may employ any of these methods while working with a client.

Psychic readings are also available by appointment if one so desires."


So, what the heck is a "wolf clan shaman"? LOL! Do I even want to know???

[piya]

I have dropped her a message, asking about her wolf clan, lets see what response I get.

Another interesting link, includes her fees, and guess what she is even a Ghostbuster.

What follows is some rhetorical questions because the phrase "licensed ceremonialist" strikes me as very odd.  Formal and fancy sounding without substance.

Does anyone have an idea how one becomes a "licensed ceremonialist"? Who is the licensing agency? Are there training courses involved? How is she using the term?

Is she referring to it as someone who gets the piece of paper from the county courthouse which gives them legal recognition for performing weddings?

Or is it as used on a lot of Wiccan and Pagan sites which came up alluding to it as leading secret rituals as a priest/ess in addition to handfasting? 

I think if someone introduced themselves as one at a professional networking event while looking for a job  people would be tilting their heads to the side as they look puzzled.

"Kanaychowa is a licensed ceremonialist" reminds me of Luzia Krull's "I am authorized by the State of California to conduct social ceremonies." http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=3868.msg32782#msg32782

Meaningless rhetoric that is supposed to sound fancy and professional.

Play a Bigger Game: Proven Strategies to Design & Grow Your Small Business is a wonderful and practical book packed with ideas and suggestions on how to build your business.
