SUPPORTING TRANSFORMATION
As a counsellor at the confluence of earth-based spiritual lineages and emergent therapeutic modalities, I help clients connect with their inner wisdom, and access the healing powers alive in nature. As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I bring knowledge of and reverance for the body’s innate intelligence, and capacity to metabolize trauma into insight. And as a devotee of the sacred in nature, I ground all I share in my recognition of the interconnection of body, soul, earth and cosmos.
My holistic approach is inspired by 27 years of experience supporting transformation through ceremonial work with sacred plants. My doctoral education in engaged world psychologies deepens and informs all I offer. Through one-on-one sessions, mentorship, ceremonial containers and wilderness-based initiatory encounters, I foster embodied, relational, and creative ways of being and knowing that transform suffering into joy and despair into empowerment.
Our sanctuary prioritizes accessibility, inclusion, safety and respect for people of all genders, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds.
Integral Counseling
This is not therapy. It is an invitation into a sanctuary dedicated to the reclamation of soul. A pathway to inner peace during challenging times. A practice that alchemizes the intense feelings activated when we navigate personal, social and planetary crises. An anchoring into unconditional compassion. A collaborative inquiry into our deepest potential for resilience, ecstasy, meaning and purpose.
“At some point we have to understand that we do not need to carry a story that is unbearable. We can observe the story, which is mental; feel the story, which is physical; let the story go, which is emotional; then forgive the story, which is spiritual, after which we use the materials of it to build a house of knowledge.”

Rooted in Devotion
Expanded states of consiousness are the birthright of all people. As our ancestors knew, these practices are a vital aid to individual and collective balance and wellbeing. As we engage our potential to thrive, the benefits of our inner work ripple into our families, communities and world.
A deep bow to the wisdom of our vegetative elders, and the guidance of the wild ones.
