Heart & Soul Embodiment Retreat

An exploration of your embodied soul: Energy Medicine, Yin Yoga, and Vinyasa Yoga.

Heart & Soul Embodiment offers an experience of layering energetic and spiritual wisdom into the building of somatic tools and intuitive awareness. The teachings offer an investigation of your magical, mystical inner world through the exploration of your body’s felt sense.

You will be invited to explore your unique energy signature (Soul expression), understand boundaries more clearly and create fluidity in your emerging field of awareness while connecting to sacred earth, golden sun and the blue waters of the pacific ocean where the desert meets the ocean at Prana del Mar.

On this retreat you will be held in a space of love and openness as you explore a greater sense of wholeness and health.

As an Intuitive Energy Medicine Practitioner, Somatic Healing Practitioner, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and along with the many other modalities that I have studied, I offer many ways to open the doors to alignment and healing on every level of heart, mind, body and soul. As a long time teacher of yoga, a spiritual seeker having studied with many teachers, a studier of many health related fields and as a pharmacist I bring a wide perspective. My passion lies in the extensive study and healing of trauma.

By tapping into intuition I am able to read energy fields and assess the alignment of the subtle body energies that lie within the physical systems of the body. I offer that your intuition can be cultivated as a wisdom within you that you can learn to trust and guide you.

I completed the Master of Intuition Medicine® program in 2019 after studying with the Academy of Intuition Medicine® in Sausalito California. This education was the culmination of many years of deep personal and spiritual study that has spanned over a conventional medical education leading to a 25 year career in pharmacy to personal self study in complementary medicine and the healing arts and onward into two decades of study and teaching in the traditions of a variety of styles of yoga and meditation. December 2021 brought advanced certification in the art of Somatic Awakening®. May of 2022 has marked the completion of certification and registration as a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist ~ RCST®. Interest in trauma healing and brain patterning brings in another modality of NeurOptimal® neurofeedback as of January 2023.

I had known from a very young age that intuition and spiritual acknowledgement is a valuable aspect of true healing. For any completeness of healing of bodily dis-ease we must consider embodiment which brings attention to the many layers of one’s energy body, emotional body and spiritual body.

The sphere of spiritual exploration is immeasurably infinite. My belief is that each person’s path is entirely unique. Opening to healing occurs in a uniquely sweet resonance for each individual in relationship to their individual nature. In energy medicine sessions, my process offers gentle guidance to spiritual embodiment. As a spiritual counselor I am guided by the notion that we live in these physical bodies on this physical earth and it is the spirit that animates. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy further expands the embodied healing experience. The more deeply one can live spirit in body the more freedom, peace and joy one may experience in the living of daily life. Healing is an awakening to one’s true nature and purpose.

The practitioner’s role is to listen. I use my compassionate skills of listening to guide clients to healing.

I am a licensed therapist, Reiki master, and yoga teacher based in Portland, Maine. I have a heart-centered approach to connecting and being with others and a deep passion for guiding people toward feeling more connected to themselves. My focus lies in facilitating holistic healing experiences that nurture the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit.

I love to create a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth while maintaining a lightness and humor when needed. At the heart of my work is the belief that we all have innate wisdom and the capacity and resilience needed to navigate the world and all of its beautiful and brutal twists and turns. I believe through cultivating curiosity, compassion, and self-acceptance, we can awaken to the truest expression of ourselves and live with greater ease, vitality, and joy.

I am thrilled to be a part of this expansive, heart opening and connective retreat with Cathleen and each of you that decides to join us.

We would be entirely honored to have you with us on this retreat. Your presence brings an expansiveness to the group and widens the healing field for all.
