Mika Jacobsen

As a counsellor and ceremonialist, I support people in their journeys of embodiment, transformation, and consciousness expansion. My doctoral education in cross-cultural psychologies coupled with decades of devotion to yoga and shamanic practices led me to my calling: practices of illumination rooted in ancestral wisdom, informed by emergent science, and guided by apprenticeship to sacred plant lineages. I welcome all who are called towards deep connection with their soul and alignment with the healing intelligence of nature.

Attuned to the transpersonal and the embodied, the nondual and the relational, I situate this work at the confluence of interconnected disciplines: ecopsychology, psychedelic therapy, somatics, creative arts and Eastern wisdom. As a practitioner in the Santo Daime—a syncretic Amazonian mystery school—my work is grounded in the animist cosmovision alive in forest medicine traditions, and held in a network of accountability to mentors in Brazil.

I am committed to reciprocity with the wisdom-keepers who have tended earth-based lineages for millennia, and to solidarity with all movements for indigenous sovereignty. A deep bow to the Coast Salish tribes who are the original stewards of the land I call home. Our sanctuary is gender-identity and poly-affirming, and grounded in decolonial, anti-racist, feminist and neuro-queer theory. I speak English and Spanish and offer all services at a sliding scale for people with marginalized identities and limited resources.
