Gerald practiced as a nurse for 27 years, became a Reiki practitioner, minister, and hypnotherapist.

Testimonials
Immersion into the deeper workings of the Pachakuti Mesa tradition has been both serious and fun under the guidance of Gerald. I perceived a dramatic shift in my consciousness, depth and breadth of comprehension, and my embrace of the teachings this weekend. The balance of power portion of the in-person workshop has helped me recognize how the personal work I have been doing flows smoothly and is being supported through this immersive process. Eternal gratitude to Gerald for his support and tutelage!

He loves his work, and is skilled at holding space with love. He shows real interest in his students' insights, and celebrates their discoveries. I am looking forward to continuing this journey together.

The PMT apprenticeship has been a blessing in helping me navigate these turbulent times and offer clarity regarding my future path. The PMT path is providing an avenue to channel my love for the earth and its inhabitants in a loving and constructive way.
Julie Frederick, PsychotherapistNorth Carolina
I am transformed completely as a person after finishing an apprenticeship within the Pachakuti Mesa tradition. Connecting to deep history and lineage has healed the parts of me that were disconnected, distracted, lonely or broken. This apprenticeship has given me words for truths that I have always instinctively KNOWN and given me a community of family that understand the world in the same way. It has given me practical tools to ground, release and seek guidance and connection. My path to service is clear now, and I now feel empowered to follow it with joy, wisdom and support.
