MY STORY

My name is Jenny Sutherland, Mihko-Asiniy-Kinepik-Iswew, and I’m a proud member of Moose Cree First Nation, located in the Mosoniy-Illilew and Mushkegowuk territory. I’m a nationally recognized speaker and operate my private practice, Red Stone Snake Woman, as a Psychotherapist and Indigenous Healer, blending cognitive behavioural therapy with Indigenous ceremonies, energy work, and land-based healing.

I hold an Honours BA in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work, with over 25 years of experience in social work, training, and consultation. Through this work, I’ve become a Truth and Reconciliation Specialist and dedicated my life to studying with Elders and Traditional Healers. As an educator and speaker, I offer keynote addresses like "Sharing Medicine: Reconciling Our Sacred Relationships to Each Other and the Land" and "Indigenous Perspectives on Wellbeing: The Spiritual Way Forward." I combine my knowledge of the Medicine Wheel and the Seven Grandfather Teachings with my experience as a psychotherapist and healer to offer a path forward into holistic healing.

I am deeply committed to supporting vulnerable Indigenous populations, including residential school survivors, youth in care, those battling addiction, and people experiencing homelessness.
