Learn how to live Fully embodied
in alignment with the SACRED HEART of being
We live in a compartmentalized world
Our healing systems are compartmentalized and so when we embark on a healing journey, we can feel alone.
We attend a workshop here or there, see our therapist, see our energy medicine practitioner or attend an event with a medicine person. These are meant to guide us on our path of awakening. These experiences are part of the process but more often than not, we are left to work out the pieces of the puzzle isolated from the community.
New age influencers are often not grounded in reality, often spiritually bypassing the aspects of the self needed for embodied transformation.
Much of the time, this feeling of disconnect is due to a disregulated nervous system. We develop coping mechanisms to keep us safe, but after a time they can prevent us from becoming who we truly are. They keep everyone around us at an arm’s distance, or alternatively locked in an unhealthy relationship.
The good news is, this illusion of disconnection is exactly that: an illusion.
We are all profoundly connected and we have the capacity to awaken that connection at any time.
To recover these deep layers of connection—both to our true selves and each other—we need to heal.
You are the only person who can heal yourself.
With this program, you’ll learn the skills of self-healing, both to practice for yourself and share with others.
Rediscover your connection to self, others, and the Sacred Earth in a year-long apprenticeship journey.
You’ll explore the intersection between neurobiology, animism, shamanic healing, and Andean energy medicine so you can deepen your relationships and lived experiences.
We’ll discover:
Polyvagal theory
Nervous system regulation
Applied Relational Somatics
Rituals of connection including purification ceremonies, fire ceremonies, flower ceremonies, despacho, creating an alter, and creating a sacred space
How to work with the elements for protection, purification, and healing
How to open the body through sound healing and chanting
All the answers lie within you.
Learn how to awaken them.
Who is this program for?
The Sacred Heart of Being Apprenticeship is ideal for those on a path of self-healing. It’s also for those who provide a healing space for others. Counselors, coaches, yogis, nurses, massage therapists, energy medicine practitioners, therapists, and anyone wanting to deepen their repertoire for self-healing.

This apprenticeship is designed to teach you the tools for healing yourself and deepening your relationships. And best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you’re learning in the context of the group in real time.
What is Applied Relational Somatics?
Somatic practices deepen our connection of body and mind, allowing our nervous systems to function at their best. We can process cognitively all day long, but until we address the nervous system and do the somatic work, little will change. Somatic practices allow us to heal from trauma and regulate the nervous system to continuously open ourselves for deeper connection.
When we apply this to relationships, we have a beautiful opportunity to deepen our connection to others.
Applied Relational Somatics means being in relationship with ourselves and others while maintaining an authentic, embodied state of presence.
Through this apprenticeship program, you’ll be able to practice navigating conflict with other intentional, introspective people also working on healing patterns. We’ll celebrate each other exactly as we are—a rare gift.
By working to understand your behavioral patterns and honing your communication skills in this conscious community, you’ll be able to carry those skills out of the group and into the other relationships in your life.
Evolve Your Consciousness and Heal In Connection to the Pachamama
The Pachamama, the Cosmic Mother of all space a time, wants us to heal and evolve our consciousness. She provides all the tools we need in the wisdom of nature and the human body.
Everything you need to heal, connect, and evolve is already within you.
When you connect with your own Sacred Heart of Being, you align with the Pachamama and remember who you truly are. It’s a deeply personal experience, one you have to commit to exploring within yourself. I am here to guide you.
We’ll combine Applied Relational Somatics with Shamanic Healing and Andean Indigenous Energy Medicine to teach you a framework for self-healing. You’ll learn to understand and regulate your nervous system, perform ceremonies to align with nature, and open your spiritual being to the guides all around us.
