Tatchi Jakoa

I am an educator, ceremonialist and guide, offering pathways for transformation that ground ritual in a mandala of integrative modalities—rooted in earth-based wisdom, attuned to consciousness science, and informed by decades of apprenticeship to sacred plants. PhD studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies continue to advance my knowledge and skills in psychologies and philosophies at the confluence of psycho-spiritual and somatic therapies, self-actualization, social justice, and ecological awareness.

My work is gender-identity and poly-affirming, and grounded in decolonial, anti-racist, feminist and neuro-queer theory. I speak English and Spanish. All are welcome, including those with marginalized identities and limited resources.

I am committed to solidarity with movements for indigenous sovereignty, with a deep bow of gratitude to the Coast Salish tribes who are the original stewards of the land I call home.
