Process as a Healer
Hunter is a Healer of Mohawk descent who uses new world and old world healing approaches (energy work, intuitive guidance, ceremony, and sound healing.) A typical session with Hunter begins with the client telling their story. Storytelling is one of our deepest emotional and spiritual needs as human beings. Hunter uses his intuitive abilities to assist a client to explore the dark corners of their awareness. With awareness comes choice, and with choice comes change. Hunter uses Honor songs from his Mohawk heritage to acknowledge the struggle and unrecognized gifts of each client. Trapped stories called blocks require emotional expression to release them fully. Hunter offers hands-on energy work to clients to help the body release the story it no longer needs.

Singer
Hunter has performed at the New Mexico Expo, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, at Cornell University, and on the Good Day NY News program. In his teens, he was invited to sing in a Native drum group called the White Pine Singers at Cornell University. Later trained as an Intertribal sacred singer, he shares Native American healing songs in talks, workshops and sessions as documented on his CD album titled, “Haven”. YEAR XXX
