my experience
I want to make the most enchanted and beautiful and full life for myself and everyone I get to know, and so help re-enchant the Earth. I like to spark the fire that illuminates the most enchanted life for my clients, too; one which they might have forgotten. Because the gift you most want in the world, is the one you should give. (Eve Ensler said that, and I agree.)
Along the way there is healing and clearing and restoration to do. Now is the time.
My work is about love, intimacy, and feeling. I am not afraid to let you know me, because if you can see into me, then you won't fear revealing what I may see in you. In a state of trust, the healing can be rich and deep.
My experience with The Spirits has been physical and authentic, comprised of half a lifetime of constantly honing and honeying life challenges. If you feel the zing of recognition when you read my story, it may be a sign that we would work beautifully together to bring about any shift or life-essence restoration that would do you well.
my story
I grew up all over the North American heartland, hitting the road with my two sisters and my parents while they created historical documentaries. Constant moving gave me a solid sense of calmness within the liminal and the impermanent. As a girl I was a lover of horses, a devourer of fairy tales, the earnest teacher's pet.
I studied photography and textile arts at the University of Kansas; also becoming trained and working as a crisis counsellor with an emphasis on mirroring/reflective listening (Headquarters Counselling Center). At this point I began making collage-altered books, and sewing and altering my clothing.
 After backpacking through Europe I ended up married to a good man in Australia, where I completed a three year degree in women's traditional and commercial needlecrafts (Hornsby Polytechnic). During these years I dabbled and dove into all kinds of esoterica, becoming a Jill-of-all-partially-mastered trades until I was unexpectedly taught the basics of shamanic journeying by a elderly, gnomish, English dowser.
Moving back to America, I became a mother, and I have since tended the hearth for twenty years. I surrendered to the wisdom of my teachers: three babies, masters of time/no-time, who taught me about intuition, improvisation and high ideals in parenting.
During this time I taught my children at home. Besides testifying before the Colorado legislature on behalf of homeschooling rights, I initiated and led a community-based independent education cooperative (Denver Northwest Homeschool Community), whose journal and website I wrote and published.
After my grandfather died, I made contact with ancestral spirits who informed me that he had been a native American Indian of the Arikara nation, although he had passed as white. I began to purposefully integrate the broken threads of my various family lines. As an instinctive folklorist, establishing contact with ancestral spirits and bringing back lost or fragmented, traditional folk teachings remains my passion.
I went on to study core-shamanism with Julia Darnell and Simon Buxton of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and underwent further training with the Sacred Trust (Dorset, England) with Naomi Lewis and Kate Shela in the Way of the Melissae and Arte Tryptich Melissae, which initiated and deepened my connection with the ancient, arcane practice based on the honeybee and the hive.
I have done a great deal of work with my father, Jon Bredal, who, as a master of healing-play and of integrating infant reflexes in children, is among the leading kinesiologists in the field of healthy family dynamics. After moving to Germany in 2003, I also undertook emotional body enlightenment work with Elke Czischek of the Theohumanity Foundation.
I bring as clean a slate to you as I can, radiating surges of pure love through so the healing is strong and good. In teaching I hold my arms wide open for deep fun, fluid healing, and ecstatic inspiration, and invite you to come along.

"I was born with undeveloped lungs, a condition which has followed me my entire life, showing up in painful breathing every time I did sports. After Jill worked with me,
the next time I played tennis (after a winter of inactivity) I noticed an obvious improvement in my breathing capacity – and I have remained free of pain ever since. It has been an interesting
and healing experience."
J.W., Archivist
"Jill Bredal has that rare and wonderful ability to see the limiting and unresolved issues within us and then transform them. Her work with me resulted in two major life changes: as a seer, she identified the key pattern of belief that had been blocking my steady income and then helped me clear those toxic, subconscious beliefs, so I could move beyond that old pattern. Now I am enjoying wonderful prosperity.
In addition, through a soul recovery journey, she brought back to my essence a young, fragile girl spirit who had been lost for aeons. Afterwards, I no longer attracted needy women into my life who I felt I had to rescue. That old dysfunctional pattern was over. This soul recovery contributes tremendously to my current healthy intimate relationships.
The energetic releases following her healings have been the most powerful in my life: it felt like thousands of stars shining all over my body, and incredible love. Jill is an amazing healer whose work is elegant and mysterious."
J.D., Denver
"In talking to and getting readings from all the intuitives, healers, and psychics
I've visited, I have never got such perfect and usable information.
They've never gotten to the core issues as Jill has."
B.J., Detroit
"Jill's soul retrievals have been pivotal experiences in my soul integration and discovery
process. Her ability to tap into non-ordinary reality and illuminate the soul's desire for
unity is an ancient and sacred gift."
E.N., Teacher
"With Jill you go deep. Without her wisdom, I may still be floundering and wallowing –
but this place is way more empowering and ecstatic. Jill has amazing shamanic skills:
her intentional brave journeying, interpretation, and dead-on accuracy blow me away."
M.W., Dancer/Coach
"Here are things that I have noticed since the healing: I feel lighter, clearer,
like some burden has been lifted. I am seeing beauty around me in new ways. I feel a
complete change in outlook regarding how I express my affections, and I don't feel as
much need to feel "safe" in relationships.
I am more open to going with the flow and mystery: it feels effortless.
It is quite interesting how transformational this has been!"
A.M., Software Advisor, Microsoft Corp.
"Jill helped me find my power animal. It was pretty easy for me to journey in the otherworld. It was fun."
S.M., boy
