My practice flows from the guiding principle of:

as without so within, as within so without.

Meaning - we are shaped by our world, and we can shape our world.

As a healing practitioner, I am not a one-stop shop or a mechanic. I don’t believe you are broken or in need of curing or fixing. I don’t believe in perfection or purity in regards to healing.

I do believe healing is the process of continual adaptation and the harnessing of homeostatic balancing within ever-shifting internal and external contexts.  

I believe healing is the phenomenological experience of wholeness that emerges within relationships over time. It can’t be forced or rushed, only cultivated with care.

My therapeutic intention is to provide a long-game relational container that fosters your embodied sense of integrated wholeness over time. 

I am here to help you understand how your historical adaptive strategies of :

  • fragmentations and disconnections in your relationships to self and others (people, places, all beings)

  • dysregulation and incoherence in your bio-energetic system

  • distortions in your identity (individually, culturally, ancestrally)

are affecting you presently and guide you through the slow and steady process of reconnecting to your

  • body, heart, mind (3 brains/centers)

  • community, culture (larger relational fields)

  • land, ancestors (even larger relational fields)

  • spirit (you/all)

so you are able to freely and fully show up and consciously participate in this dance of life/death, in service to our shared whole.

I have broad interest and experience – and over the years I’ve shifted in my orientation as a reflection of my own process and training. At present I feel most in resonance with you if:

  • You are a sensitive soul, a lover of Spirit, and an eclectic mystic seeker who feels burdened by misunderstanding and communal displacement in our modern binary world - and you are longing to live into your calling in this life as a devotee to the paradoxical Mysteries. (see also Mystics’ Path)

  • You are experiencing an increasing sense of overwhelm about existential issues resulting from climate change (including eco-grief/anxiety and socio-political angst) - and you need support navigating uncertain future possibilities and cultivating active hope.

  • You are navigating loss, overwhelmed by deep grief, and/or mourning the death of a loved one - and want a steady hand to hold as you traverse the River of Sorrows.

  • You keep repeating the same destructive behavioral patterns over and over again in your life and it’s affecting your sense of self and ability to thrive - and you are ready to begin to gently and consensually explore what adaptive survival strategies are driving your behaviors so you are able to shift from a deep place of compassionate integration.

  • You have been struggling with a pattern of disembodiment - and are ready to gently and consensually develop your felt sense and widen your capacity to tolerate the full range of emotions and sensations, and ultimately repair your relationship with your body, as a safe and trusted home.

  • You are lost and going through a challenging life transition - and want support navigating how you move through it, so that you are better able to connect with your internal resilience, stability, courage, and faith - and move with an open heart-mind and deeper sense of embodied alignment to self and the whole.

  • You are struggling with issues of identity and in the process of peeling back layers searching for your authentic self  - and you want nonjudgmental guidance and mirroring as you explore what is true for You, so you can untangle yourself from the old familiar pressures, invoke self-compassion and bravery, and learn to tolerate (even appreciate and love) the unknown within.

  • You are trying to untangle yourself from unhealthy relationship dynamics (from lovers, friends, family, work, church, culture)- and want help differentiating and getting free.  Or - you are trying to show up in your relationships more authentically and want to build your skills of self-awareness, curiosity, intimacy,  boundary setting, consent praxis, and relational communication.

  • You are a person who has power and privilege in the overculture - and is ready to deepen your practice of embodied activism and abolition so you can show up for the long game.

  • You are aligning with your sense of purpose and committing to healing yourself, so you are able to better show up in service to our collective liberation - and you want support developing your capacity for embodiment, intuitive abilities, and building your energetic power.

  • You are ready to feel your embodied ancestors speaking - and want support with learning to listen and build relationships.

  • You are curious about animism, cross-cultural folk magic practice, witchcraft, shamanic practice, earth-honoring ways of worshiping the divine, expanding your spiritual reality (without bypassing) – and want grounded support as you journey into multidimensional consciousness. (see also Mystics’ Path)

  • You are actively working with plant medicines and entheogens - and want support preparing for your experience and integrating afterwards, from an animist (shamanic) practice perspective (vs psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy).

  • You are trying to get a creative project or career change going but keep getting stuck - and you want help with how to move forward with courage and inspiration.

  • You are an artist, musician, or performer (personal or professional) who wants to integrate your artistic passions into your healing practice, spirituality, and/or career - and wants more support moving through the fog of self-doubt and fears of public criticism, gentle encouragement as you experiment in your creative process, and animistic insights into how you can deepen your relationship with The Muses.

  • You are a parent in these times and want parenting guidance that will empower you and ease your anxiety and invite self-compassion.

  • You are focusing on your overall wellness and balancing your constitution: including supporting mental/emotional wellbeing, reducing chronic pain, improving digestive/gut health, balancing hormones, increasing sleep quality, stabilizing mood, harmonizing energy, increasing intimacy in your relationships, and tracking your unique cycles and rhythms.

I have no agenda or goal other than to be a supportive guide on your path. I am honored to share my knowledge and expertise, however I am most interested in creating a brave space for your inner wisdom and agency to emerge, because I know healing is ultimately a journey of Self-discovery, and it is my privilege to walk with you.

You can read what other folks have experienced in their time connecting with me HERE.

I have two ways to connect 1:1

All sessions are 1hr. However I do offer 2hr sessions by request (please inquire).

I ask that you commit to a regular standing time if possible - either weekly, biweekly, or monthly (whichever rhythm works best for you). If this isn’t an option for you, we will get creative.

I practice out of my home studio in South Minneapolis (CST) and have limited availability.

If you are new to me, please book an Initial Session. Initial Sessions are typically virtual but can be in-person under certain circumstance. Please let me know your preferences. After our first session, you are welcome to book either virtual or in-person follow ups!

Virtual sessions can involve any healing practices that do not require physical contact such as:

  • Psychobiological coaching

  • Somatic + neurobiological therapies

  • Non-local energetic therapies

  • Guided meditation and trance practice

  • Ancestrally influenced folk ritual

  • Shamanic healing and witchcraft

  • Storytelling, invocation, and spellwork

  • Herbal + food medicine

  • Postural and movement practices

  • Sound healing, sounding, singing, and chanting

In person sessions can involve anything we do virtually + practices that require physical contact such as: 

  • Acupuncture + moxa

  • Therapeutic touch + bodywork + manual therapies

  • Cupping + gua sha 

  • Hands-on biofield therapies

  • IRL amenities such as the magical vibe of my cozy home studio full of visionary art and regularly tended sacred altars, weighted blankets and warm flaxseed baggies, herbal tea time, and post-session cuddles with my super friendly dog and cats.

My single session rates are $225 hr / $350  2hrs.

I do my best to balance sustaining my livelihood while also providing access to those who need it.  These rates help to subsidize my practice so I can offer more support to those in need.  If you are able to pay my full rates, I thank you!

If you need financial support, please inquire about my sliding scale program, which is $135-$225/hr.

My free services program is currently full.  Please let me know if you’d like to be added to the waitlist or if you have questions about accessibility and I’ll try my best to work with you.

If you desire a long-term healing approach for a reduced cost and are ready to invest in your care ~ please consider my Phoenix Rising healing containers.

As I said above, I am a long-game practitioner and I prefer to work with folks over extended time.

I have learned that dedicated healing containers allow for a strong foundation of trust and rapport to be woven.

And I’ve come to witness how the deepest lasting shifts occur when we grant the forces of time, space, and redundancy to support our efforts.
