A bit about me:
Visionary Guidance & Therapeutic Sessions
“Reach as deeply as you can and offer your unique and authentic gifts as bravely and beautifully as you’re able.”
-Bill Plotkin
Over the last thirty years I’ve earned the trust of my clients as a certified Shamanic energy healer, bodyworker, Reiki Master Teacher and Intuitive Oracle Guide. With deep care, compassionate listening and working closely with Spirit, ancestors, the Earth, the elements, universal archetypes and the Fay (Faeries or Fair Folk) as our guides, I use my intuitive, mystic and empathetic skills to help you navigate your inner landscape, psyche and soul terrain to learn, grow, heal, integrate and transform beyond patterns, trauma and beliefs that no longer tell your story.
Sovereignty and freedom are at the heart of the intention I hold for you.
“Deborah has been an integral part of my healing process since late 2019 and has spent many hours offering her guidance and wisdom as I journey through a difficult diagnosis.
The messages and healings that come through are always amazing, and it blows me away at how on point her guidance is.
You opened me to new ways of thinking about things that I never had before.”

“My relationship with the journal project became one of opening my heart to the process, as a journey of self-healing.”
–Deborah Fay D’Onofrio
I’m a mixed media artist and writer. Both mediums bring creative expression, a way to get in touch with the unseen and bring out onto the page voices that want to live in the world, and to alter my world for the better and therefore serve the collective. When I was recovering from brain surgery (see Inspirational Speaker below), I wrote about how art, nature connection and meditation were a holy trifecta I depended on:
“Mindful walking calmed the crashing waves of stormy thoughts. White thread in and out of a linen square stitched me back into the present moment. Pasting paper scraps, tracing inky circles, painting sacred symbols on a fresh page gave voice to my heart squeezing worries and swirled in with shiny wishes and everyday thoughts. Pine laced breezes, quiet time in nature, reconnected me with the bigger whole of Life. Gathering a bit of springy moss, velvety lichen or fallen leaf to lay on my altar, I remembered my place in the world.”
I’ve blogged for 10 + years. Connect to my latest chronicles and thoughts on my blog, and on my Substack, My Wild Magic Life.
I’m featured in books: Beyond Scrapbooks and Crafter’s Devotional and magazines: Art Journaling, Somerset Studio and Strawberry Moon. My work has been displayed in private home collections, auctions, and in Boston’s MFA, Art in Bloom.
“I so appreciate your honest, authentic and vulnerable sharing.
As a leader goes first, others can follow your example, a good thing.”
-Beverly
Facilitator
“The thing about meditation is: You become more and more you.”
-David Lynch
A meditation teacher for 35 + years and trained in many modalities. I’ve also led online and live women’s empowerment, tarot and intuitive development courses, full moon circles and shamanic journey, creativity and meditation groups. In addition, I’ve co-hosted, Wild Magic Harmony, a podcast on the Divine Feminine.
“So grateful for the lessons I’ve learned from your guidance through meditation! First of all: learning that it is limitless and that I don’t have to be perfect at it! It has allowed me to soothe my inner critic in that sense…The breathing techniques have taught me that I can relieve anxiety when practiced and increase a stream of positive thoughts allowing introspection to set a positive frame of mind. Thank you so much Deb for your dedication and sharing your endless wisdom.”
-Joyce
Inspirational Speaker & Chronic Illness Companion & Mentor
“Sometimes it is the sickness itself that is the wake-up call to have the adventure.”
–Sabrina Ward Harrison
An unexpected brain tumor diagnosis in 2021 turned my world upside down. Thankfully, immediate surgery restored the eyesight I almost lost, but the tumor was too risky to completely remove. With all medical resources exhausted, a miracle found its way to me: a whole-foods plant- based program that drastically improved my health. While not “cured”, and still dealing with symptoms that have the potential to end my life prematurely, I trust my future to a process and force mysterious and divine.
The self-healing journey of chronic illness is only truly understood by those treading the same path. It requires us to travel through shadowy valleys otherwise left unexplored.
I‘ve learned:
“I live a dance of impermanence. I live with the not knowing of all.the.things. I live with a body that sometimes blazes like ten suns. I live with a body that sometimes scraps my big plans for a day under the covers. I live with panic for what might come. I live in the joy of what is right here and now. I live with it all.”
I came to redefine illness as a doorway into a deeper, mystical, wisdom-steeped, sacred way of understanding what’s happening to us. I’ve chosen to morph the common reaction to illness as curse, burden, even life threat and transmute it into a golden opportunity: to discover gifts unimaginable, deliver treasures from the unknown, and paradoxically, as an answered prayer in disguise.
“You’re leading with the creative flow of all your transition and opening. This…in itself, is such a courageous act…the tumor doesn’t lead the way, it provides the door through which things flow…it is the lifter of the veil that allows a great manifestation. An accepted part of the whole which hasn’t been exiled.“
–Cynthia Young
I’ve learned to welcome it as an ally, teacher, awakener, liberator.
As a companion and mentor, I hold space as you discern your way on your own soul journey with chronic, acute or life threatening illness. We can incorporate Reiki/Energy Healing, Intuitive Shamanic Healing and Intuitive Oracle Readings into our time as well as journal writing with prompts and sacred ritual.
As an inspirational speaker I offer a signature presentation: Through the Wilds: How Illness Can Transform & Free Us.
