Philosophy

It’s all connected. The barrier between the Body, Mind, & Soul is an overlapping Venn diagram; which is why I combine these words into the singular “BodyMindSoul”. Western Medicine has only just recently started to recognize the connection between the BodyMind, but largely ignores the Soul/Spirit. Meanwhile, “New Age” spiritual healing will have you believe that the best (and only) way to treat the Body is through the Spirit and often ignores the importance of addressing the Physical first.

I am a “Mundane first” Spiritual Practitioner. We live in a physical World. The first Chakra is the Root, ruled by the Earth Element. We start here for a reason. We start here to establish the foundation, to be Grounded, so the Spiritual can more easily manifest into the tangible.

We are slowly coming to realize, as a Culture/ Society, the deep Spiritual wounding inflicted by Colonialism (most especially, White-Supremist Colonial Extraction). The wound is deep, raw and cancerous. It will take Generations to fully Heal, which is why part of our Collective work is to individually parcel out what we were indoctrinated with, and what is the Medicine. It is then our job to pass these teachings and techniques to future generations.

How I Work to De-Colonize my Practice:

The big picture of this boils down to:

Land Back: the return of Stewardship and Authority of Indigenous Peoples and the Land. It is theirs, we stole it from them, violently.

Reparations: evening the economic playing field for those whose Ancestors were enslaved by Colonizers for centuries, while simultaneously building the foundations of this Society that only some of us fully benefit from.

De-centering my face/ voice: A lot of Spiritual practitioners try to be the “Guru”, the expert [on cultures they were mostly likely not born into], the Authority to your enlightenment. - This attitude is encouraged by Capitalism. “$$$Don’t listen to them, listen to ME $$$”! And we (the consumer) abide, because we are taught that our authority lies outside of us.

There are more qualified experts out there, with more cultural reference than me, it is my job to make sure I am not louder than them, and help center their voices.

Doing my Due Diligence on the info I receive, understanding where it comes from, the cultural context, and how it is appropriate for me to work with this info as a white descendent of colonizers.

There’s more to be added here, and will be in due time.

Disclaimers 🌿🍄🌿

I have a license in Massage Therapy as well as certifications + training in Clinical Herbalism & Somatic Hypnotherapy. I am also a practicing Witch of 20+ years and have lots of experience in these fields but that does not make me qualified to diagnose, treat, or prescribe anything. - Always consult with a licensed physician or primary health provider before taking supplements or heading medical advice from others without properly vetting them first. ✅
We are the Creators of our own realities, which can be very overwhelming sometimes. - This is generally where I come in. I am here to provide Supportive, Healing Guidance. A helping hand, and a point in the right (or left) direction. The choices are ultimately yours to make of where you would like to go and how to get there. Yea I’ve been to a rodeo or two, but that doesn’t mean I know what it’s like to be you. The goal is to remind you of how Powerful you are and to make conscious, intentional choices from that place of Power. To me that is what healing is all about. Reclaiming & Embodying Our Power, then carrying that towards Healing & Empowering each other as well as the Planet. 🌍
If you are here to just get a massage without exploring or reflecting on how you got to where you are or get to the root causes of chronic conditions (be they Physical, Mental/Emotional, or Spiritual), I get it. Sometimes you just need to work out the knot in your back. However, if that is the only thing you are looking for, we may not be a good fit. There are some very talented LMT’s on the Island whom I am happy to point you towards, but if you’re here and want to work with me, we’re gonna get deep.
I very often interweave all my disciplines together in any given appointment. Sometimes a Bodywork session can turn into a Somatic-journey inward to talk with a symptom or lost soul piece. Sometimes my Herbal Consultations will turn into a Reiki Session. I am always working with You to create and shape this Work to best fit your needs.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and it may take time over multiple sessions to address any given issue. But if you’re willing to put in the time and energy and dedication to showing up that’s when the Magick happens.✨
Although I support Sex Workers and their right to legal and safe income, that is not the work I do here. Do not solicit me for sexual conduct, even if you think it’s a joke, it’s really not funny. So let’s avoid this headache altogether. 🌈
