¨PRACTITIONERS & TEACHERS¨
Tom Wilkinson, Ed.D.
Shamanic Energy Medicine, Artist, Teacher
ABOUT TOM: He has been engaged in various forms of non-traditional and energetic healing for over 25 years and his holistic approach to life stems from his belief in the interconnectedness of all things. The indigenous healing practices of Peru’s medicine women and men form the lineage of his shamanic healing education. After a life as an artist and corporate/college/university educator, he re-awakened to the understanding that he had been called to do this work again.
Tom is a graduate of the Gateway School of Shamanism under Deborah Wray, former senior faculty for Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s Healing The Light Body School. Additionally, he has completed advanced graduate programs in dream manifestation. In early 2013, he received the Munay-ki nine Empowerment rites based on the initiatory practices of the Q’ero shamans of Peru, and he studied in Peru with Don Theo Parades, Ph.D., a renowned anthropologist and Shaman. Tom has participated in shamanic ceremonies in numerous sites in Peru including the Temple of Wiracocha, Pisac, Lake Titicaca, Colca Canyon, and Machu Picchu. He has participated in shamanic energy healing training with Sandra Ingerman and Alberto Villoldo, and was engaged in Hank Wesselman’s last teachings as part of the Shamanic Visionary Circle year long program.
Tom served as Visiting Shaman for Reiki Journey - Alternative and Holistic Health in Blacksburg, Virginia and assisted teaching second year students in the Gateway School of Shamanism in Charlottesville, Virginia. He will be teaching “Shamanic Healing Wisdom and Practices” as part of the Certified Practitioner for Holistic Health program of Nibana School Of Wisdom in Annapolis, Maryland.

Jess Floyd, PhD
Empowering The Divine Feminine Within
ABOUT JESS : I am new to the holistic healing path, but I am immensely excited to be sharing my passions at Nibana, while I am also on my own path of learning and evolving.
I am currently in training for both sex and relationship coaching as well as holistic health and wellness. I bring with me a background in gender, women's and sexuality studies that was fostered through my doctoral work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2017) and continued scholarly work in sexuality and sexual expression, with book-length publications as well as articles in peer reviewed journals.
I began deeply exploring my spirituality around the same time as I completed my doctoral degree, seeking healing and guidance after the stress and demands of the process. At the end of my doctoral work, I was feeling depleted, lost, and in need of connection with power I could feel all around me.
As of today, I am still a seeker and am on a journey to learn more about my purpose and spiritual path. Sexuality and spirituality intersect for me, and I am continually drawn back to the connection between, and importance among, these aspects of the self. An empath, educator, and coach, I am excited to share with clients their own journeys toward healing, reclamation, and transformation. I am looking forward to offering women's empowerment training, sex and relationship coaching, and healing around intimacy.
