A series of unusual life experiences led Vickie to seek a spiritual divination which resulted in revealing that Vickie had a calling to be a “weather worker” or granicera (one who works with hail and storms) in the Nahua indigenous tradition of Mexico. She was initiated into this tradition in 2006. Since then she has returned to the highlands of Mexico to honor her commitment to this tradition and to lead her community in building a reciprocal relationship with the weather.

For the last 9 years Vickie has studied and pilgrimaged to sacred sites to further become initiated as a "Tepahtiani" (Traditional Nahua Healer).  Her healing practice is in Margaretville, NY.
