Sedona’s Story

This story is an account of a young woman’s challenges with autism and with hearing voices of the departed, or ghosts. Her journey in understanding what it means to be a ＂death walker＂ brought everyone under their roof to a breaking point, and eventually toward a path of healing and wholeness.

Combining the expertise of therapists, doctors, naturopaths, western medicine, mystics, mediums and teachers, Sedona’s family eventually sought the advice of a shaman, who ultimately diagnosed and saved their daughter. Through sharing this story, the family seeks to share some of the tools they have learned to help their daughter manage her connection with the spirit world, with the hope that these tools may be helpful to others in similar situations.

Kim, Kane and Sedona live in Madison, WI. Sedona continues at West High School while Kane continues his career in banking and officiating sports. Kim still enjoys placing legal staff at law firms in Madison through Drake & Company, her family-operated business.
