Spiritually Integrated Work

Water Ripple Effect

Embrace Grace offers spiritually integrated therapeutic services that honour the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit. My work is grounded in art therapy and informed by a wide range of healing modalities, including sound, ritual, creativity, somatic awareness, and relational presence.

​

I am currently in mentorship with full masa-carrying Shaman D’orjay Jackson and within the Q’ero (Andean) lineage, learning ancestral approaches to shamanism, energy work, ceremony, and earth-based wisdom. This training is held with deep respect and humility, alongside an understanding that healing traditions are living, relational, and culturally rooted.

​

My approach is also shaped by my own heritage, the wisdom of the people of this land, and my lived experiences walking alongside individuals and families through trauma, illness, grief, transformation, and renewal.

​

Spiritual elements are always client-led, trauma-informed, and optional, offered only when aligned with a person’s beliefs, culture, and comfort. The intention is not to replace clinical therapy, but to gently integrate meaning-making, connection, and reverence into the healing process when appropriate.

We invite you to take a moment to place your feet on the ground beneath you and notice your connection to the land.

As you arrive here, consider your relationship with the land and how it supports you, how it holds you, grounds you, and allows you to move through your life.

We offer my gratitude to the land we live on, which makes it possible for us to walk, ground, and express ourselves.

​

We are located on Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting ground and home to many Indigenous Peoples, including the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Nakoda Nations, Nakota Sioux, and the Métis Nation. We also acknowledge the broader lands of Turtle Island, recognizing that many who engage in this work may come from different territories.

We are committed, through our daily actions and practice, to honouring this land and the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for it since time immemorial and who continue to be its stewards.

We are grateful for the teachings and practices we have been welcomed into, many of which have supported our own healing. We hold deep respect for their origins, recognizing that these practices are sacred.

​

We also acknowledge the history and ongoing impacts of colonization, where many of these teachings were suppressed and taken from Indigenous Peoples. With this awareness, we approach this work with humility, respect, and gratitude.
