About

This Fake Shaman came to my attention after her “shamanic mentorship program” imploded last summer in a bougie-barn in the town of Lyman, Maine.

On the fourth night of the mentorship’s retreat, the fake shaman launched into a black magic solstice ritual fueled by ayahuasca, psilocybin ‘shrooms, tequila, flower essences, a little bit of weed and a brooding emo-Spotify playlist. Her goal: to birth a dark entity from beyond the veil, using the power of her cornucopia of plant medicines, hypnotism and orgasm.

Spoiler alert: the sex magic didn’t work. Not only did she alienate her mentees into abandoning her mentorship, it appears — at least under Maine law — that she allegedly committed gross sexual assault. Fake Shaman is a ten-episode investigation into the history and actions of this con-witch and her evil habit of preying on vulnerable people in Maine and beyond.

Over the last eight months, I’ve done a deep dive on this predatory woman selling mind-altering drug experiences to victims of trauma for thousands of dollars, supposedly to heal the trauma and bring solace to the client. As part of her marketing sales pitch, she claimed to have spent the last 15 years training in the traditions of five separate shamanic lineages: Columbian, Brazilian, Mexican, Hawaiian and Siberian.

The reality: she’s a former life and business coach who magically morphed into a shaman after a week-long vacation in late February 2021 at “Rythmia” in Costa Rica. Rythmia, known as the Disneyland of ayahuasca resorts, is the place where this fake shaman claimed a psychedelic ceremony cured her then-3-year-old daughter’s autism…a kid who was thousands of miles away from the ayahuasca resort.

Thanks to dozens of hours of secret tapes, scores of documents, court files, insider stories and in-depth interviews, along with a giant treasure trove of supporting evidence gathered from the dustbins and forgotten corners of the internet, I’ve been able to prove — beyond a doubt — that this woman is a serial con artist and a sexual predator.

Throughout Fake Shaman, you’ll hear the voices and stories of multiple women, from Maine to Georgia to Wisconsin to Florida who fell prey to the smooth talk and big promises of this charlatan. A fake shaman who, as of today, is seeking bankruptcy protection, due to financial shenanigans connected to her failed social media platform geared towards aligned New Agers.

Via Fake Shaman, you’ll be able to come along for the journey as I explain to my podcast sidekick — my niece “Alice” — all the dirt I’ve discovered about this fraudulent woman. Also during the podcast, “Alice” gets a “Crash Course in Investigative Journalism,” as I teach her (and listeners) various tricks, hacks and open source intel gathering techniques I use while researching baddies like the aforementioned con witch. These methods, btw, translate well into investigating folks YOU might find suspicious.
