ABOUT ME

Transpersonal Hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression Therapist

I am a Transpersonal Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner, NLP practitioner, and a Reiki Master. I have a variety of background experiences that include a 37-year career in telecommunications and a B.A. from Antioch University in art and psychology. My introduction to shamanism began over 18 years ago with an interest in Two Spirits because I identify as pan-gendered. My preferred pronouns are the singular they, their, and them.

I specialize in past life therapy and have a private practice that focuses on energy medicine and self-empowerment. I also teach workshops on gender and sexual identity, the Afterlife, and other topics of transpersonal metaphysics. I am also a photographer, illustrator, and artist that produces my own websites and advertising materials.

I am the author and illustrator of Soul Sex: The Alchemy of Gender and Sexuality, The Chumpi Stone Guidebook, The Gender Oracle Guidebook and Card Deck (forthcoming), and Wisdom To Die For (forthcoming), as well as I am the co-author of The Chakana Oracle Guidebook and Card Deck. In addition, I am a contributor to TRANScestors: Navigating LGBTQ+ Aging, Illness, and End of Life Decisions Volume 2.

"I have been working with Drake on several different occasions. There are many healers in our area but what has drawn me to Drake Bear Stephen is his profound background and studies that he has used to perfect his style of healing. He has integrated the wisdom of many different indigenous cultures and has created a blend of healing that is so powerful and compassionate. Drake gets directly to the core of the issue with such gentleness and grace. He holds no judgment which allows you to feel completely safe to go deep within. I often feel that the healing which took place went so much deeper than what appeared on the surface and I leave feeling energized and nurtured instead of feeling tired and incomplete. His work has definitely helped me process and shift with ease and encouragement. If you're experiencing any kind of issue in life, give Drake a try, you won't regret it!" -Holly Cook
