Healing
Safely heal generational harms &
receive ancestral blessings
Consciousness remains,
but the dead are not all equally well...
The living and the dead can communicate,
and can strongly affect each other...
Even after they’ve passed on, they still remain in our blood and bones; we carry their memories, their blessings and their burdens.
Not just the remembered ones, but also the long forgotten. Thousands of years, millions of memories; their victories, their suffering, their pride, their shame, all live on in our voices and in our actions. In those moments when we feel carried and in those moments when we feel abandoned. Their voices became our voices, their actions became our actions. History repeating itself, rippling through generations.
Currently, you may be feeling weighed down by the heaviness of generational and cultural impact in your everyday life. Systemic ruptures flooding your experiences daily and into the evening. An inability to move forward no matter how hard you try. Thoughts and feelings that you sense are not your own. Unprovoked discord in interpersonal and professional relationships.
These and many more contradictory experiences can often be our own unwell-in-spirit, restless, unsettled deceased ancestors permeating through, hovering in our energy fields, flooding our nervous systems and adversely impacting our experiences with their unwellness, their unresolved and unprocessed grief, pain, regret, shame, and unfinished business.
Ancestral blessings are also in our fields but the deluge of burdens often drown them out, blocking them from blessing our lives. Ancestral Lineage Healing can help repair and heal the burdens, allowing ancestral blessings to flow through, unobstructed.
Through Ancestral Lineage Healing Sessions, healing and repair is brought to the generational and cultural burdens and troubles of the unwell restless dead.
Over time, aided by your reconnection and continued relationship with your well-in-spirit ancestors, the burdens of the unwell ones are healed, allowing the lineage blessings to be received and shared with the living. The ancestral healing includes rehabilitation and reckoning with the caused harms, this isn’t a “free-pass” for the unwell ones nor is it spiritual bypassing. This isn’t a frivolous forgiveness practice of “letting bygones be bygones” and erasing the harms as if they never happened, that would be gaslighting. This is a fully conscious connection with your well-in-spirit ancestors, witnessing the containment and healing of the harms, the rehabilitation of the ancestral lineages, and the receiving of your ancestral blessings.
In our sessions, you will be fully awake and in direct connection with your ancestral guides, your own people. I am here to facilitate, to hold the space and to guide you through the steps of the practice, making sure all is well. The healing is carried out by your own well-in-spirit ancestors. This can take some time. Deep wounds are tender.
When the ruptures are healed and your ancestors are well-in-spirit and well amongst themselves, they are able to support you and guide you from a more healthy place. They respect your boundaries and are no longer in your face with the “shoulds” from their time. They bring guidance from their blessings, no longer from their burdens. And they respect your sovereignty, your free will, and are completely at ease whether you accept their guidance or not.
While you may initially approach these sessions with the intention to “fix” your ancestors who are haunting you, it will be your continued relationship with them, the tending, the aftercare, the maintenance, which keeps the blessings flowing. Abandoning them, exiling them, causes ruptures in the connection.
Ancestral Lineage Healing is about returning to remembering your lineages, coming back into healthy & supportive relationship with them, being a face of them, tenderly carrying on their blessings into your life and embodying them. After all, they are always with you in your blood, your bones, your voice, your breath.
FAQs

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.

What you can expect from our Ancestral Lineage Healing Sessions
Ancestral Healing is rooted in tending relationships, which includes tending your own space and well being. Here is some guidance to assist you in preparation for our sessions.
Before you arrive
Attend sessions via Zoom
All sessions are virtual via Zoom, therefore please make sure you've downloaded and updated the latest version of Zoom in preparation for our sessions. When you confirm your booking, you'll receive an email with the Zoom link.
Create an Intentional Space & Time
Prepare a quiet, peaceful, comfortable space for the duration of our sessions. Arrive early, take a few moments to settle in and allow for anything not related to our sessions to be placed aside. Reconnecting with ancestors can sometimes feel very potent, therefore please be kind to yourself and schedule a time that allows for space afterwards to process what arises.
If you are able to, gather what is known of your lineages in preparation of our sessions.
During our sessions
Duration of Sessions
Our initial session is 90 minutes. Our subsequent sessions are 60 minutes or if you’d prefer longer, 90 minutes are also available.
Structure of Sessions
All sessions begin with setting the sacred space with gratitude to land, the benevolent spirits who tend the land, our wise and well ancestors, and our helping spirits.
Our first session includes a brief discussion about what you know of your lineages and what you’d like to explore in our sessions. I then guide you though a spiritual assessment of your four foundational ancestral lineages, assessing how well or burdened they each seem to you as they presently are rather than how you remember them or were told of them. We conclude with a brief discussion about which ancestral lineage you’d like to begin working with.
In our subsequent sessions, we work with your chosen lineage, first meeting the ancestral guide who is of that lineage and well in spirit, who will guide the healing for that lineage. As the healing is brought through the lineage over several sessions, potent experiences may arise during the sessions and in your daily life. Allow for space to process through those experiences and emotions. As the ancestral burdens are healed, the blessings tend to flow more easily and you may experience this too in your daily life. When healing is brought to the entirety of the ancestral lineage and brought forth to the living, you may decide to continue the sessions and work with more lineages. With each lineage you will first meet the ancestral guide of that lineage and confirm they are well in spirit before proceeding with the healing. Most clients choose to work through at least four of their foundational ancestral lineages, these include their Mother’s Mothers and all the women who came before them, their Mother’s Fathers and all the men who came before them, their Father’s Mothers and all the women who came before them, and their Father’s Fathers and all the men who came before them. Please note that the genders described are only for clarity and by no means required, you are free to use any description and pronouns you’re comfortable with. Ancestral Lineage Healing is a non-dogmatic and gender inclusive practice.
Sessions usually conclude with guidance from your ancestors such as self-care and offerings to your ancestors to support and integrate the healing.
After our sessions
Since reconnecting with ancestors can sometimes feel very potent, allow for time afterwards to process what arises.
Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a summary of our session along with your ancestral guide’s integration suggestions.
Schedule your next session for 1 - 2 weeks later to allow space for reflection and integration.
You may find it useful to further explore your ancestral history, culture, and traditions based on what information arises during our sessions, especially if your ancestral guide has offered you some suggestions.
Additional Recommendations
If you feel that there is something else interfering or blocking your reconnection with your ancestors such as curses, possessions, the land you’re living on or inherited, non-ancestral spirits, trickster beings, or something else, I also offer Shamanic Energy Healing which may help with those situations.
If you’re feeling particularly porous energetically, we can explore through an Astrological lens what may be contributing to your energetic vulnerabilities and what may be useful to strengthen them. I offer this exploration through Natal Chart readings.
