A new narrative
Each of us has a story we are living, and a story we want to live. Our work in this life is to close the gap between the two. By working with the brain and the body simultaneously, we can move away from the stories that defined us in the past and allow our desires to direct us towards a greater path. The narrative in your mind creates your reality - are you ready to create yours?

The Approach
Alignment is the magic that happens when the stories in our head match the stories in our reality. In order to reach it, we must become intimately acquainted with the origins of the stories we hold (our shadow stories), and the ones we want to live. Story Healing gives you awareness, perspective, and patience, allowing you to co-create with the universe.
Story Healing uses a combination of breathwork, visualization, journaling, and embodiment practices. By ritually breathing into our obstacles, we receive clarity and guidance. By putting our thoughts and dreams into words, we make them concrete and unavoidable. By inviting the feelings we desire into the body, we align ourselves to the frequency of what we wish to receive.
This process is not a simple love and light fix. New directions move slowly. Monthly sessions with independent follow-up work allows for the release of an old story and the welcoming of a new one, with processing and creation in between. Because there is no way to know how long it will take to bring your body, brain, and heart into alignment, this offering is exclusive to my membership program, The Storytellers’ Circle.
No matter where you are in your journey, it’s never too late to turn the page, and begin a new chapter.

The Session
Each Story Healing session is co-created for story you’re living at the moment. Sometimes we work on long-term goals, like inner safety; sometimes, we work on dealing with the specific stress of a recent incident. And sometimes we just bring in some joy!
At the beginning of your session, we’ll talk about the story you’re living, the shadows keeping you stuck in it, and the way you’d like it to change. Next, I channel a visualization to match the energy we choose. This will introduce a narrative for you to follow as you move into ritual breathwork with Reiki healing, crystal placement, and aromatherapy. Ritual breathwork induces a trance-like state without substance use or side effects, allowing you to become the observer of your story, with glimpses into the deeper context and even the potential plot twists and endings. Your active work is followed by silent time for integration and grounding. All sessions end with a cup of tea and an oracle card pull before I send you on your way.
In person sessions are held in Halcyon Cottage, my elemental backyard wood cottage in North Tustin, California. She’s a vibe. -

FAQs
does this really work?
Absolutely! The power of the mind is unmatched. When you see people who have been able to manifest the life that they want, it’s because they told themselves the story of their own success…and believed it. This is a skill, and it can be learned.
how does it work?
Imagine that your life is a story. You can choose how your character looks, acts, and moves. You can choose which quest they want to go on, and what they do along the way. But there will be external forces that move, as well, and your character must adapt to those changes and interact with other characters as well.
That’s life. It’s all a story, a choose-your-own-adventure epic. So many of us get trapped in victimhood, going around in circles trying to move to a different level while doing the same old thing. We need to zoom out, and see our character as the creators that we are.
We know stories are the best way to help our brains understand concepts, people, history, anything. We also know that it is not enough to think about change; we need to experience something new in our bodies to truly make it a habit. Like working out or eating healthy, we must slowly adjust the body to new habits by spending regularly giving them new programming.
By matching the power of storytelling with the work of embodiment, we very literally teach our bodies to live a new story. Breathwork provides an “empty” space within you to practice feeling new ways, and processing information in a slower, controlled environment. With that foundation, you can practice a new way of being in the comfort of your daily life, building on your progress over time until you are living the story of your dreams.
If you could make your character do anything…what would you do?
Let’s find out.
Where Is This From?
Humanity. Stories are the backbone of human culture, the way we have passed down our wisdom and kept our spirits up in dark times. Science confirms that our brains create stories from the evidence they perceive in the world around us, and that by learning new narratives, we change the thoughts that dominate our inner dialogue. The modern age has both crafted ingenious ways of sharing stories, and destroyed the intimacy of the act. This work resuscitates the lost art of storytelling, and uses it in an energetic methodology to give us new perspective, wisdom, and hope for our individual journeys.
how fast Is It?
It depends on how adaptable your mind is to change, how difficult your journey has been up until this point, and how committed you are to your own growth. Speed isn’t usually an indicator of success. Learning about yourself and what you truly desire may take time, but will lead to more lasting results. Your energy and time and the only resources your truly possess, and you should give them to what you prioritize.
Is It available virtually?
All services are available in person (Orange County, California) or in the virtual world.
Do you take payment plans?
Happily! I recognize that healing is often only available to those of means, when those with less may need it most. Message me, we’ll work something out.
