I have a private practice that focuses on energy medicine and self-empowerment. I also teach classes on shamanic energy medicine, gender and sexual identity, the Afterlife, and other topics of transpersonal metaphysics. Most recently I was initiated as a Celtic Druid. I am also a photographer and artist that produces my own websites and advertising materials. My graphics can be viewed on my Pinterest page.

My introduction to shamanism began over 23 years ago with an interest in Two Spirits because I have identified as L, G, B, T, and S at various times throughout my life. My preferred pronouns are the singular they, their, and them.

I am the author and illustrator of Soul Sex: The Alchemy of Gender and Sexuality, and The Chumpi Stone Guidebook, as well as co-author of The Chakana Oracle Guidebook and Card Deck. In addition, I am a contributor to TRANScestors: Navigating LGBTQ+ Aging, Illness, and End of Life Decisions Volume 2.

TESTIMONIALS


At the end of the session [I had with you] we asked for healing for me from family members on the other side. Just wanted to share something interesting with you. I have been on a liver transplant list for the past 3 years. During my latest checkup my doctor told me that situation had completely stabilized and expects that I can come off the list by year end. -Anonymous

I tell you I don't remember a time that I felt better. I don't hardly have words to describe how I feel. The energy blockage feels as though it is gone. We are definitely on the right track. I have turned a corner. I can't thank you enough for your help and guidance. -DS

I had a Past Life Regression session today with Drake Bear Stephen. I have never experienced anything like it and am looking forward to another session the next time Drake is in town. He is a master at not only guiding regression, but he makes you feel completely safe and protected while you're letting yourself open up. He is remarkable. My deepest gratitude and many heart-felt thanks. What an honor to be able to experience my first regression with someone who masterful and wise and loving. Drake is the perfect guide for a past life regression. He is kind, intelligent, compassionate, gentle, wise, experienced and above all, he guides you with love. If you've ever considered a past life regression, or if you've wanted to do another, this is the idea opportunity! Drake Bear Stephen is phenomenal. -Joe Tkalec

You really helped me and I find our encounter to be a priceless experience. I look forward to seeing you more and learning about myself on an in depth level. I did not think I would have received such extensive help in one session and I admire you for being a part of that. -Monica C.

Drake has been my guide for some of the most profound healing experiences of my life. I so appreciate his ability to hold space for my own empowerment and healing, gifts which go with me that allow me to be a more skillful catalyst for my own journey to wholeness. In a world where I have experienced so many practitioners who haven't done their own heart work, it has been a great joy to work with someone who has. -Ernest Morrow

I recently had my shaman Drake Bear Stephen lead me in a past life regression. It was amazing and gave me clarity as to why I was struggling with a repetitive issue in my life. With Drake's help we broke contracts with my past lives that were affecting me negatively in this one. My session with Drake has been truly life changing and given me clear direction on my journey here. Thanks Drake! -MJ Brigger

Drake, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the healing session. The warmth of your heart and soul touched me deeply. Your kind and encouraging words and energy have shifted my spirit, began the healing of a deep wound within. -Harry K.

I just wanted you and everyone to know how honored I am to be one of your students. I never really understood the Buddhist quote "When the student is ready, the teacher will come" until now. Holly Cook said you were an amazing teacher and person, that is just half of it. Your knowledge of life and spirit has inspired me to the extent that I have no doubts that I am on the perfect path. Thank you so much for being exactly who you are. -Victor

I remembered the session today with you and felt very protected from it, safe in my bubble of energy. Instead of being afraid of what I heard, I felt no fear, actually brave, pretty brave. I know I have much to learn from you. -Anonymous

Drake, thank you so much for an amazing Reiki energy healing class this weekend. You are such a gifted teacher. I love the gentle healing energy and feel so balanced and relaxed. -Annette Magee

I had the most amazing hypnotherapy session with Drake Bear Stephen today! His method is using Alchemy, I think, it is more than regular hypnotherapy and did we go deep! I am hooked! Thank you so much for such a Quantum Healing! It's only been a few hours and things are already shifting. -Holly Cook

I have been working with Drake on several different occasions. There are many healers in our area but what has drawn me to Drake Bear Stephen is his profound background and studies that he has used to perfect his style of healing. He has integrated the wisdom of many different indigenous cultures and has created a blend of healing that is so powerful and compassionate. Drake gets directly to the core of the issue with such gentleness and grace. He holds no judgment which allows you to feel completely safe to go deep within. I often feel that the healing which took place went so much deeper than what appeared on the surface and I leave feeling energized and nurtured instead of feeling tired and incomplete. His work has definitely helped me process and shift with ease and encouragement. If you're experiencing any kind of issue in life, give Drake a try, you won't regret it! -Holly Cook

Thank you for conducting a regression session with me. I can definitely say that it has helped me better understand the kind of person I am and my sexuality in this life. I've felt so much more empowered and confident since the session, with the knowledge of what I've been through in the past and the lessons I've learned from them. -Danielle S

After the session you and I had I really have felt much more confident in myself. Thank you! I am much less afraid to allow my divine self to come forward and bring the gifts I am meant to bring. -Stuart M

One of the most talented colleagues I have and recommend is Drake Bear Stephen...a very unassuming man and yet deep, old soul. -Joyce Jackson, The Sane Psychic

Just wanted to say thank you again for my healing. I am feeling much better and my vision is much clearer. Thank you also for the chakra clearing technique. I use it every day and plan to use it in service to others as well. You gave me tremendous insight and for that I am truly grateful. -Angel B

My friends, Drake is the real deal. If you get a chance to work with him it will bless your life! -Dr. Kirk Prine

It [energy body tune-up] was great! And I really felt wonderful afterwards. Thank you so much! -Elizabeth Spiller

Thank you so much for your time, guidance, and love. I feel so enlightened. It was a mind, body, and soul searching therapy experience. Knowledge is power and you wreaked of it. I am honored to have met you. -K.F.
