ELEMENTS OF SELF HEALING

come home to yourself. embrace vitality and health

Welcome

I’m Dee.

I give thanks as a wonder filled tapestry of the healing arts continues to weave inside of me. Always delighted when invited on your journey to vitality and wellness; to living an authentic and ensparkalated life. My personal quest has given me the opportunity to explore many healing paths. All of which celebrate our inherent connection with Nature and Spirit, the vital spark that gives life, calling us joyfully back home. Come home. 

Secondly to being seasoned by the school of life I have become certified as a Plant Spirit Healing Practitioner & Educator, Life/Soul Coach, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Family Herbalist, Bodyworker, Raindrop Aromatherapy Practitioner, Reiki Master and Certified Yoga Instructor (since 2000). I have been sharing many of these holistic practices holding collective healing space in a Drug and Alcohol Recovery Centre for the last eight years. One of my greatest joys is guiding/holding space in groups and circles

 Like the stories of many, life has happened, challenging experiences have been the catalyst for my growth, my gifts, my inner spark burning bright. Dis-ease has challenged me and continues to at times on all the levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I am grateful to be very well resourced and committed to walking with and sharing the teachings and healing modalities that have helped me overcome chronic pain, illness and depression as well as transform trauma.

 

What is your story, your gift? What did you come to learn? Often what we have come here to learn is the gift, that is my personal experience.

While you are the one who determines your future we all benefit from outside perspective from skilled compassionate council. 

Growing up in the inner city and spending most weekends thanks to my parents transported up north to the wild woods, I developed a life saving connection to the sanity of the natural world. I remain in love with the land, co-creating in respect, continually deepening my relationship with healing allies , Plants/Trees & Nature; Fireweed, Nettle, Wood, Pine, Meadow. I give thanks to the ancestors who have walked this earthen path before us and all those who keep invaluable knowledge alive. I offer individual as well as group sessions via distance and in person including an 8 moon herbalism/plant circle which is in it’s fourth year. If you have an idea of which direction you might like to go in I can most likely create an amazing personalized experience for you and yours.

"Dee has helped me heal on many levels. Her work goes well beneath the physical layers. Her connection to the earth helps me heal my own. Her light heart helps me lift my own. Her witness to my own pain and suffering has brought me deep peace and joy. Her compassion has helped me become a more mature, resiliant and peaceful person. And, she makes me laugh!"
