Heal intergenerational and cultural trauma.
Connect with your wise, loving Ancestors!
Ancestral Lineage Healing is a ritual-based spiritual healing modality designed to help you tap into your deep, inner ancestral wisdom, reconnect to the vibrant energies of your ancient ancestors, identify inherited generational traumas stored in the body, initiate healing of those traumas, and to help extend healing to any unwell or troubled dead within our lineages. It combines teachings and practices of multiple ancient cultures focused on earth and ancestor connection.
My specific training comes from Dr. Daniel Foor of Ancestral Medicine, and I am Certified Ancestral Lineage Healing Practitioner in the Ancestral Medicine network.
Every ancient, indigenous culture has (or had) ways of being in relationship with the Ancestors (or the collective energies of the wise, loving human dead). These in-tact cultures were also mindful in tending to the dead as they passed on. Over the course of history, many indigenous cultures were broken and dismantled (especially the Indigenous, Pagan cultures of Europe). As this happened, their ways of tending to the dead became lost, and connections to the energies of the collective Ancestors also became severed. Without sound, in-tact cultures to be anchored to, many people died with trauma stored in their bodies, often resulting in what we call "soul fragmentation." These conditions result in unwell/troubled dead, or, as we often refer to them in our culture, “ghosts." Being in this state prevent these ones from being woven into the collective Ancestors. Most in-tact spiritual traditions to this day have practices and rituals for tending to these un-well ones.
Spiritual vitality is supported and heightened when we develop reciprocal relationship with the vibrant, loving energies of the collective Ancestors. They can offer important guidance and insights for our lives; both in how to live in right relationship on Mother Earth, as well as how we are to manifest and express the unique gifts we incarnated with. However, in order for this connection to be at its fullest, we need our direct-line ancestors to be healed from earth-based traumas and woven into this larger collective body of wellness. This is where the powerful process of Ancestral Lineage Healing comes into play!
Those feeling stuck in their personal and spiritual growth.
Those seeking to deepen connection to their ancestors and lost ancestral cultures.
Those recognizing unhealthy generational patterns showing up repeatedly within a family system.
Those with unresolved trauma or unhealthy patterns showing up—especially if they have not resolved with traditional therapy or other healing modalities.
In an Ancestral Lineage Healing session, I help clients settle into an embodied, meditative space so they can more deeply tap into and listen to their intuition. From there, after grounding them in ritual safety, I guide them through a process of making connection with the spirits/energies of who we refer to as the Wise, Loving Ancestors (or “capital-A” Ancestors). These are generally our ancient ancestors (usually pre-Christian, indigenous peoples) who had experience living in what we call an “in-tact culture.” These ones lived during a time when humans were much more relationally connected through vibrant earth-based cultures. These were people who were able to experience and express more of their true, higher selves, and who tended relationships in ways to help them quickly heal traumas they experienced.
Connection with our older wise and well Ancestors (or, Ancestor Guides) happens through our intuitive sensing capacities. Reclaiming our body's intuitive ability to sense and communicate with other-than-humans is an important part of this work, and critical to the larger work of dismantling the harms brought about by western colonialism. Once connections are established with our Ancestral Guides, we begin cultivating a beautiful new relationship with them—working with them to repair and heal an entire direct lineage down to the living ones on the lineage. This, then, clears the way for deeper healing on a body and soul level (for both you AND your living relatives). Healing takes place as we understand how our lineages became disconnected from higher states of wellbeing, understanding the gifts we carry from the lineage, and then working to express those gifts and work for cultural changes that may be connected to original harms.
Ancestral Lineage Healing work focuses on what are known as the Four Primary Lineages. These lines tend to have the most genetic and epigenetic impact in our bodies, and thus influence our health and well-being more predominantly than other secondary and tertiary lineages. We focus healing efforts on one direct lineage at a time, which usually involves about six sessions. After that, I try and help clients understand the work enough so they can either address other lines on their own, or, we can repeat the process working together. Each session lasts about 30-60 minutes with an initial 90-minute session.
The good news is, no! However, I do find that the more you know about your family going into the process, the easier it can be to navigate and understand information that may surface during the sessions. For instance, if you know regions of the world where your Four Primary Lineages originate, it can be easier to understand the historical context around certain inherited traumas and patterns you may identify. It can also help knowing which ancient cultures you may feel called to reconnect with as part of the healing and repair process.
If you know little or nothing about your ancestors, you CAN still do the work! But, if you would like to know more before diving in, I do offer a basic family tree exploration and assessment service in conjunction with the Ancestral Lineage Healing work (see offerings and pricing).
For people who belong to impacted communities and activists working to support them.

In most cases, 6 sessions will allow us to work through the full healing process of one of your Four Primary Lineages. Should extra sessions be needed, you may add extra a-la-carte sessions ($75 each), or another block of six (spending them however you wish).
During our work, I seek to help you learn the process so you can continue working through other lineages on your own. However, we can also continue working together if you find guidance useful.
Session work is done via video call or in-person (for local clients).
Don't know much about your heritage? Begin the healing work with a basic family tree assessment to learn where your Four Primary Lineages most likely originate, along with potential cultural themes that may impact generational traumas. This basic assessment can also include a review of any DNA test results you may have (if you haven’t, this is an add-on option).
Please note this service usually does not allow me to identify specific ancestors beyond your 4th or 5th generation (and some geographic areas may be even more limited). However, I do offer in-depth genealogical research should you wish to know even more about your family.
