Open your heart with others
Cacao Ceremony
Please also check our events page to sign up for our monthly new moon public ceremonies.
Gathering together to drink cacao can create healing, connection and inspiration. Engaging with cacao as a ritual, rather than consuming it as chocolate candy or a commodity, has direct positive impact on our individual well-being as well as our global ecosystem.
Within a cacao ceremony, the facilitator holds space for people to connect with each other in new ways, and the ceremony is an opportunity to reconnect with ancient parts of ourselves that remember the simple power of gathering together in community.
All ceremonies begin with a cacao blessing, and give you a chance to learn about the cacao you are drinking, and how it was prepared. The ceremonial cacao that one drinks in a ceremony was sourced, made, and prepared with love and intention.
In ceremony, the facilitator will guide the group through various exercises and experiences based on the intentions of the event. Some examples of guided experiences are: guided meditations, journaling, sound journeys, use of oracle cards, reiki healing, dance and movement practices, and partner exercises.
3- hour in-person group session $40 each, minimum of 6 people, maximum of 25.
Virtual ceremonies are also possible at a reduced cost, and do not include cacao.
Full day (6 hour) retreats are also available.
Begin your healing journey
Intuitive Healing
An intuitive healing session is a holistic and deeply transformational experience that draws from various healing traditions, combining shamanic healing, plant spirit healing, and sound healing modalities.
Each session will start with a personalized consultation that might also include a card reading. Andrea will discuss your healing goals and your intentions with you.
Andrea will then guide you through a healing session that is unique to your goals and circumstances. At the heart of the session is a shamanic approach that can utilize a number of techniques including using stones, sacred smoke, drumming and rattling to facilitate healing. The sound acts as a conduit between the physical, energetic, and spiritual realms, and can facilitate the release of stagnant energy to promote balance and healing.
Plant spirit healing is also often a central component to the session, where Andrea partners with the healing energy of specific plants to facilitate healing. These plant spirits hold ancient wisdom and healing properties, and they are invoked to guide and support the healing process.
Sessions are available for
1 hr $110
1.5 hrs $145
2 hrs $180
We recommend at least 1.5 hrs for your first session.

Reiki practice for animals
Animal Reiki
Animals are highly intuitive and sensitive to the energies of their surroundings. Reiki is a healing energy that can be used alone or as a complement to other healing practices, balancing the energy patterns and strengthening the animal's natural healing systems. When the animal's healing is at optimum performance, the body, mind, and spirit can heal itself. Andrea specializes in large animals, such as horses, but is available for all animal companions.
Note: Reiki is not a substitute for taking your pet to your veterinarian. If your animal needs immediate assistance, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
Reiki can serve animals in the following ways:
-
Maintaining health and well-being through regular sessions.
-
Aiding in pain management for animals who are ill or injured, as well as post-surgery.
-
Promoting relaxation and calm for animals with emotional issues, anxiety, separation anxiety, or stress (including pre-surgery).
-
Increasing the bond between human and animal - a great way to ease an animal's transition to a new home environment or to enhance training.
-
Bringing peace and comfort to a dying pet by easing the transition into death.
Animal Reiki is available in person and via distance.
$105 for introductory session (typically 1 to 1:15 hr)

Reiki loosely translates to "spiritually guided life force energy." The reiki modality in use today was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, in the early 20th century. While there are a number of different reiki styles, Andrea was trained and practices in the Usui tradition.
During a reiki treatment, the practitioner uses a therapeutic touch or near-touch on or just above the body to deliver both mental and physical healing effects. The reiki practitioner becomes a clear conduit for the recipient’s body to draw the life force energy it needs to come into balance.
Reiki can serve you in the following ways:
