Sheila Goldtooth

Sheila Goldtooth currently serves as the Native Medicine Coordinator at Gallup Indian Medical Center and also works as a traditional healer for the Navajo Nation. She has also taught Navajo culture and philosophy at Dine College in Chinle, Arizona. Her interest in healing began at a very young age when she saw her uncle do the work. She apprenticed with him, and now performs ceremonies and blessings for people to help bring them back into balance and harmony (particularly for young people who struggle to balance the pressures and competing demands of western and indigenous societies).
