Diane Littel: Healer, Guide, Speaker, and Teacher
MS LPC, CSAC, CSIT, CCAP, RMT, SP, ESMTP™

Diane Littel, Kenew Naewaeqnen (Golden Eagle Wind), is a proud member of the Menominee Nation in Wisconsin, blending Menominee, German, Irish, and Sicilian heritage. Raised on Milwaukee's Southside, Diane's family carries a legacy of healing, deeply rooted in traditional practices passed down through generations despite the challenges of her grandmother's Residential School experience.

Her grandmother, Ke-kewanikiuh (Flag Woman), a Residential School survivor from Zoar, WI, kept cultural traditions alive despite oppression. Diane, part of a lineage of medicine people, embodies her family's healing practices—counseling, plant medicine, energy work, and spiritual connection. Her journey into healing deepened during a 2005 sweat lodge ceremony that awakened her ancestral "blood memory" and led her to Reiki, essential oils, and the Midewin lodge.

Diane earned licensure as a Professional Counselor and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor, specializing in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and BrainSpotting. Since 2009, she has expanded her expertise, becoming a Reiki Master Teacher, Shamanic Practitioner, and guide in addressing ancestral and generational trauma.

As the founder of Earthways Healing, LLC, Diane has dedicated herself to holistic and ancestral healing. Her signature program, Earth Spirit Medicine™, connects individuals with Earth's healing energies, addressing spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical traumas. She shares her wisdom through workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements, offering guided meditations and clinical supervision to professionals and communities.

Diane’s mission is to help others rediscover balance, connect with their ancestral roots, and embrace holistic healing through ancestral guidance and intuitive wisdom.
