In ceremony, Judy works with her own spirit guides to restore protection and guidance for a lifetime. Power restoration may be done within the context of a healing story or song, or is more directly given by Judy’s allies.

Everyone has power animal allies that have been with them a lifetime, and can be revealed and retrieved through ceremony. Once a power animal is retrieved, that protection and guidance can provide security for a lifetime.
