The Healing Process: through difficulty or ease?
The epic Closing of the Bones ceremony
An ancient postpartum ceremony that honors and initiates the mother. I have learned this in Miss B’s Yucatec Maya lineage and have experienced it twice after the birth of each of my children. For many this ceremony is healing and blissful. Like returning to the womb to be held and tended to by the spirits and plants. For me, this ceremony both times has had an intensity to it. It has brought facing fear to the surface. Moving through intense restriction, speaking up for myself and working with my edges. Knowing when to ask for help and when to coach myself through and surrender. As the intensity unfolds and loosens, I have been able to drop in and access peace.
Traditional healing is special. It’s beautiful and it also has a tendency to be rough and gruff. But my healing style has evolved to be breathed into softness. It’s not a no pain no gain kind of game I’m working with here. You get to feel safe and held. You get to feel the yumminess of plants surrounding you and in peace. Yes sometimes intensity comes up (especially when you’re being bound with a bunch of cloths ) but I intend to continue to bring extra ease and grace into this work.
In our culture we have a tendency to think that a little something extra comes with suffering. That healing comes through hardship; that “more is more”. That if we’re not having a big, explosive experience with visions and difficulty then we’re not doing the work- that we didn’t drop in, didn’t take enough, didn’t open up or surrender enough. But I’ve learned there is magic in the subtle. In the softness and gentle loving touch. I’ve learned that actually less can be more. And that there is deep potency and healing available to us if we can learn to lean into the subtle effects of being held in gentle, quiet loving space.

Hands-on Earth-centered Shamanic Healing Session
Join me and my husband @KristianHval as I facilitate a hands-on earth-centered shamanic healing session for him. Guided by the plants & Spirit, we dive into what he needs in this moment to heal. Kristian is my loving partner and is also an amazing spiritual life & business coach!

Kristian has experienced on and off chronic knee pain since the age of 14, and recently it has risen to the surface out of nowhere... literally. He had no incident or fall that made it worse, the injury just came up yelling at him. Dive in with us as we explore the roots of this injury, what was happening in his life at the time of it's occurrence, and what is coming up now for him as the pain resurfaces. Looking back, as he was 14 years old he started to move away from his true self. This resulted in many life events that add to his deeply profound healing journey (physically & spiritually).

“Sacred Council”- Shamanic Energy Healing Intro: Grounding & Intentions with Danyeal
This is the beginning portion of a "Sacred Council" Session with my dear client Danyeal. "Sacred Council" sessions are the new way my healing work has evolved (integrated and came forth from my year+ long initiation with Spider medicine🕷️🕸️. These sessions are filled with support, healing, mentorship, coaching & direct connection to the Spirit realm to receive healing, guidance, insight- whatever is needed to bring you healing and shift the energy around your intentions. After the part you see here, we dive into the energetic/quantum/spirit realm to connect directly with Spirit (Spirit, your guides, helpers, angles- whatever you call it!😉) to bring forth the pure wisdom, insight, guidance and healing that comes from that space. We put our minds and stories aside to see in purity what the energy, currents, and threads present are and work them to heal & change your life. Today, Danyeal was needing support with:
Feelings of rejection
Experiencing discomfort in her body
Lack of confidence, passion, and connection to Self
Lack of stability
Feeling discouraged
Difficulty tapping into her spiritual side & connecting to Spirit
Oversensitivity to the collective energies/happenings
