Ritual is the medicine we need.
Working together to create sacred space and healing.
Ritual Work and Aromatic Medicine Healing
Ritual is a way of slowing down and stepping out of the noise of everyday life. It is a moment to be held, by intention, by nature, and by something quieter and deeper within. Ritual creates a container where you can enter your own inner landscape feeling safe, supported, and seen.
I am based in Woodside, California, and offer Ritual Work and Aromatic Medicine Healing virtually and in person. In-person sessions are available throughout the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula, including Woodside, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and nearby communities.
I create custom rituals and ceremonial experiences for individuals and small groups, drawing from over thirty years of study and lived experience with plant medicine, aromatherapy, Reiki-informed energy work, sound, and somatic practices. Each ritual is shaped around your intention, the season you are in, and what is ready to unfold.
This work is not about fixing or forcing change. It is about creating the conditions for listening, release, and reconnection, allowing insight and healing to arise in their own time.
Possibilities
Each ritual is thoughtfully designed in response to the individual or group, rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all format.
Available modalities that may be drawn upon:
- Gentle opening and grounding
- Smudging or cleansing
- Intention setting
- Herbal tea ceremony
- Scent-guided breathwork using custom aromatic blends
- Guided journeying
- Vocal toning, practiced together and supported by steady frame drumming, restoring internal rhythm and supporting nervous system regulation
- Energy work, Reiki-informed healing incorporating scent and sound
- Somatic-based practices
- Sound and rhythm-based immersions, including shamanic drumming, Native flute, chimes, and hand-held rattles, supporting shifts in awareness while remaining grounded in breath and integration
- Time for integration, reflection, sharing, and closing
Custom aromatic blends are created specifically for each ritual. These scents act as anchors and guides, working on both the physical and energetic levels, and often continue to support you beyond the ceremony itself. A custom tea may also be created, offering another way to work with the plants in an embodied, grounded way.
