Oki Niiksokowaiks, Nisto anakok AahpiihsAkoiniimaakii. 

(Hello my relatives, I am known as “AahpiihsAkoiniimaaki” which translates to Dancing Pipe Woman in the Blackfeet language).  My English name is Deborah Redshirt. I come from a blended ancestry of Indigenous Tribes across Turtle Island otherwise known as the “Americas”.  I honor my lineages of the Blackfeet of Amskapi Pikunii located in Northwestern Montana, the Dine` or “Navajo” located in the Southwest, and the Chichimeca of Central and Northern Mexico.

My life work is to help you connect to the Medicine that has always been within you. The Spark. The Illumination. The Power.  It’s all there, waiting to be seen, felt and claimed!  I am dedicated to helping you in taking the next step to heal and break patterns and cycles passed down from generations before due to colonization, marginalization and oppression.  Honoring my ancestral roots with practices rooted in Indigenous Healing and Spiritual Wisdom, I specialize in trauma-informed nervous system regulation and somatic exploration to guide you towards creating a safe & strong body, motivation, resilient mindset, and a state of inner peace and calm.

Besides my life experiences, I have trained in Breathwork & Meditation, Cacao as Ancestral Medicine, Generational Trauma Healing, Intuitive Readings, Curandera & Herbal Practices as well as, connecting with the Sacred Elements: Land/Water/Air/Fire and the Universe as a whole. I work as a Healer, Inner Transformation Guide and mentor. I have a deep connection to Mother Earth and the different plant medicines she provides.  I forage and harvest medicine, handcrafting syrups, ointments, tinctures, salves and teas.  Everything is made with good thoughts, intentions, prayers and most of all LOVE.

Ahééheeʼ & Akitapii (Thank you)
