Ancestor Lineage Healing is an approach and practice of safely connecting to our ancestors and bringing healing and repair to generational and cultural wounds. Healing, repair, and continued good relationship allows for the ancestral blessings and wisdom to flow freely and unobstructed to the living. Ancestral repair work has existed in various forms, rituals, and traditions for thousands of years across cultures worldwide. This particular framework and approach was developed by Dr. Daniel Foor, Ph.D., teacher of ancestral reverence and ritual, and author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing.

In our Ancestral Lineage Healing sessions, you will be in direct conscious connection with your well-in-spirit ancestral guides. They are the ones who guide and handle the healing of your lineages. Any harms and burdens are boundaried out while they are being healed. This allows for safe relationship with your ancestors.

I’m currently accepting clients as a Practitioner-in-Training working towards completing my certification hours.

I asked my ancestors about this and the message they shared was that it’s a shared responsibility amongst the incarnate and the not incarnate because we are not separate from each other and therefore cannot “escape” this responsibility, although we can choose to ignore it which adds to the harm. That it’s also not just us bringing healing to them, but also bringing their healing forward to ourselves, our lives, our communities, and our world. Just as they are the ancestral guides for the deceased, we become the ancestral guides for the living. Our continually tended relationship helps the continuous transfer of blessings across threshold between the incarnate and the not incarnate, otherwise it stagnates with each of us and what gets exchanged instead is the untended overgrowth of harmful energy similar to untended gardens infested with overgrowth of invasive suffocating weeds. The incarnate and the not incarnate affect each other because they are not separate, we are not separate, we need each others’ support and care. We need them as much as they need us, and those who just wanted the blessings without the relationship carried that with them into the afterlife where it remained harmful until the incarnate, such as us, renewed the relationship. We matter (pun intended) a lot, as does our relationship.

You’re not reconnecting to the unwellness. Ritual safety is of the highest importance in our sessions. Our sessions are structured to connect you only with the wellness in your lineages, unobstructed wellness flowing through the lineage before harm disrupted it. That wellness may be found a few generations back or far back into the Ice Age or even earlier. Those who caused harm are dealt with by your well-in-spirit ancestors and you’re not pulled into that process. Your ancestral guides will deal with the unwellness and handle the healing process. Your presence and intention to bring healing to the lineage supports that process. My presence is to make sure you don’t lean into that unwellness.

Ancestral Lineage Healing is a non-dogmatic approach to healing ancestral wounds.

Just wanting to heal that which you’ve inherited is enough.

Just wanting to reconnect to where you came from is enough.

Just wanting to improve the relationship with those who came before you is enough.

Your ancestors of blood & bone are in your DNA, they are with you every day and they know you even if you don’t know them.

Your adopted family, your found family, your guardians, are also your ancestors. Often referred to as “milk lines” these are traditions and relationships that feed us, nourish us, and raise us. They too have direct and indirect impact on our lives and can benefit greatly with Ancestral Lineage Healing.

Even for those who know their ancestors, they rarely know past a few generations of the remembered names, and even with genealogical research there is a limit to how far historical records can be traced; a lot of documented history has been lost and destroyed.

Ancestors aren’t just the remembered ones and the documented ones, they are also the ones who go far back in time before the borders of nation states and empires, before written language, they go far far back to the beginning of existence. All those people, all of them are your ancestors.

Sessions are guided by your ancestors and can take several sessions to help bring wellness to a single lineage. It can depend on their current state of wellness and the troubles and burdens they’re carrying. We assess their wellness in our first session together.

Sessions are booked individually, so you can decide how frequently you’d like to meet and can take breaks in between whenever you’d like. There’s no required minimum amount of sessions or required frequency of sessions; you’re free to start, pause, or stop at any time.

Ancestral Lineage Healing is intended to bring healing to all four foundational lineages (Mother’s Mother’s, Mother’s Father’s, Father’s Mother’s, Father’s Mother’s, Father’s Father’s), allowing for gender fluidity, fostering, adoption, and other forms of parenting and guardianship, but you are not obligated to work through all four lineages. You are free to choose how you’d like to proceed with this work. Many clients continue working through several more lineages (Mother’s Mother’s Mother’s, Mother’s Mother’s Father’s, Father’s Mother’s Mother’s, Father’s Mother’s Mother’s, etc.), but you don’t have to, the choice is yours whether you’d like to continue bringing healing to more branches of your lineages.

If you’d like Ancestral Lineage Healing sessions, but would prefer to work with someone else, you can find other ALH Practitioners in the Ancestral Lineage Healing Practitioner Directory. There are hundreds of ALH Practitioners and I haven’t met them all, so I’m unable to make recommendations or endorsements; please use your own intuition and discretion to find the appropriate practitioner that’s suitable for your needs.

You can send me a message through my contact page and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
