Trish began her relationship with the spirit at the age of three and uses her gift as a cultural teacher and spiritual healer.

Currently, she is the Heritage and Culture Coordinator for Beausoleil First Nation.
For the last three years, Trish has shared her time, wisdom, and teachings with Lakehead Orillia students, faculty and staff as a visiting Elder and traditional Counsellor.
