Heidi Evelyn is the founder and keeper of Sacred Loon, a sanctuary devoted to helping others remember the healing wisdom that has always lived within them. Her work bridges the worlds of modern medicine and ancient traditions, guiding people back into relationship with nature, ancestral remembrance, dreams, ceremony, and the intelligence of the human spirit.

For more than twenty years, Heidi dedicated her life to Western medicine as an EMT, Army Combat Medic and Registered Nurse. Her experience stretched from military field medicine and ambulance services to air medical transport, emergency departments, and hospital leadership. While she witnessed countless lives saved through modern medicine, she also came to recognize that true healing often extends beyond what medicine alone can offer. Guided by her own healing journey, she stepped onto a path that reunited science with ancient wisdom, discovering that some of the deepest medicine is found through relationship—with Mother Earth, our ancestors, our dreams, and ourselves.

Today, Heidi’s work reflects that calling. As a Plant Spirit Energy Healer, Reiki Master, Sound Healer, Herbalist, Ceremonialist, and Shamanic Dreamwalking Practitioner, she creates spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and remember. Through sacred ceremonies, heart-opening rituals, drumming, sound healing, plant spirit communication, ancestral healing, and dreamwalking, she invites others to rediscover the medicine they already carry within themselves.

Dreams hold a special place in Heidi’s work. She believes they are among humanity’s oldest healing traditions—a sacred language through which our ancestors, the natural world, and the soul continue to speak. As a Shamanic Dreamwalking Practitioner, she guides others in exploring dreams not simply as symbols to interpret, but as living experiences that offer wisdom, healing, and transformation.

One of the deepest callings within Heidi’s work is her relationship with Mama Cacao. She honors cacao not simply as a plant, but as a sacred teacher and heart medicine that has accompanied humanity in ceremony for generations. Within her rituals, ceremonial-grade cacao serves as an invitation to slow down, soften, and open the heart. Heidi believes that when approached with reverence and intention, Mama Cacao gently quiets the mind, allowing people to journey inward, reconnect with their authentic selves, and remember the wisdom carried within their own hearts. Whether through meditation, drumming, dreamwalking, or ancestral ceremony, cacao is the medicine she most often calls upon to create a supported and sacred space for transformation, remembrance, and healing.

Her path has been profoundly shaped by her ancestry. Heidi carries both Scottish (Nordic and Celtic) and Anishinaabe lineage, traditions that have nurtured her reverence for the sacred relationship between people, land, water, plants, and Spirit. Her Scottish blood has drawn her deeply into Celtic healing traditions, the stories of the land, standing stones, sacred wells, and the quiet wisdom carried through generations of healers, midwives, and wise women. As a descendant of Clan Boyd, walking the ancient landscapes of Scotland became more than travel—it became an ancestral homecoming and a continuation of ancestral remembering.

Her Anishinaabe roots have equally influenced her understanding that healing begins with relationship—relationship to the Earth, to community, to Spirit, and to ourselves. Rather than blending traditions together, Heidi honors each lineage with humility and respect, allowing them to inform a practice rooted in reciprocity, gratitude, and deep listening.

Sacred Loon was born where science, ancestry, spirituality, and lived experience meet. Through Sacred Loon Healing Gardens and immersive ceremonies, Heidi has cultivated spaces where people gather to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth through herbs, sacred cacao, tea, seasonal rituals, sound, and community. Every herb harvested, every cup poured, every drumbeat, and every ceremony carries the intention of remembrance.

Committed to remaining both a student and a teacher, Heidi continues to deepen her knowledge through ongoing studies in plant medicine, Chinese medicine, Taoist philosophy, Thai herbalism, and the healing practices of diverse cultures. She is relocating to Thailand to continue these studies while living more fully in relationship with the land and its teachers. At the same time, she will regularly return to Scotland to continue her apprenticeship in Celtic shamanism, deepening her connection to the wisdom traditions of her Scottish ancestors. These experiences continue to shape her understanding that healing belongs to no single culture or modality, but emerges wherever people remember their relationship with the natural world and honor the wisdom carried through generations.

Heidi is a storyteller, writer, and educator, currently working on books exploring ancestral remembrance, dreams as medicine, healing after religious and generational trauma, the intersection of Western medicine, ancient healing traditions, and reclaiming the sacred wisdom carried within every person. Through ceremonies, speaking engagements, workshops, retreats, and her writing, she invites others to remember that healing is not something we receive from someone else—it is something we awaken within ourselves.

The heart of Sacred Loon is one simple belief:

We are not here to become healers. We are here to remember that we have always carried the medicine within us.

Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been. Through nature, dreams, ancestry, ceremony, and the gentle guidance of Mama Cacao, Heidi walks beside others as they remember the medicine that has been within them all along.
