Ancestral Exploration
My decade experience working with cultural heritage collections and academic archives combined with my spirit work and ancestral exploration journey has provided me with the foundation to offer unique and necessary services to expand on ancestral healing, reverence, and reparation.
Ancestral healing can take many forms and evolve over time as you build upon your relationship with your ancestors and your connection to the rituals and practices that are involved on this lifelong journey. This can be daunting at first, especially if you do not have practice in place. This is where I can help! I offer 1:1 ancestral exploration sessions and several accessible online self-paced classes. If you are not sure where to start, my Ancestral Exploration: Into the Void online course may be a great place to start as it is an introduction. If you are interested in diving deep and looking for assistance, 1:1 ancestral exploration sessions may be align with you.
