“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
Joseph Campbell, writer + mythologist
Death is an inextricable part of the natural life cycle. It allows life to occur.
Death INITIATES life.
We experience death in every cycle of breath, in the sunset closing out each day, in the cold of winter months as the earth rests.
We experience death when we have to part with those we care for, when relationships end, when careers and jobs change, when children enter or exit our lives, when we are uprooted from the land that we had lived upon.
We even experience death in the realization that the dream we once had will never materialize. When we reflect on where we currently find ourselves, looking back at a life journey filled with doors shut closed, paths diverted into unexpected spaces, wondering how we now find ourselves in this place in life.
Beliefs and perceptions that shape our personalities continually die away throughout our lives as we evolve. This creates energetic space for what is unfolding in present moment. We are always in states of BECOMING.
Oppressive colonial systems that have governed our bodies since birth teach us to fear change, aging, death. And when we learn to lean into our fear of the unknown, only then will we know ourselves completely, and are able to fully express our creative potential – our ALIVENESS.
When we bravely face our fears – each one an expression of our fear of death – we are able to create new ways of being that let us experience and feel the full richness of our creativity, vitality, joy and self-expression.
“Working with El, I’ve opened up to the possibility that I can be safe in the world — not only safe, which with CPTSD is no easy feat, but also loved by the universe. In doing so, I’ve opened to my own self-love and confidence. My unfolding while working with El happened so organically that one day I just realized the world I desire and hope for does exist. But to fully live in that world, I need to release old stories surrounding my self worth. That’s something I’m working on every day and have found myself taking more pauses throughout my day to find the stillness of me.
I found my anger and took back my voice while working with El. She saw me at my most open and vulnerable and held me safely (energetically).
This was only because of El’s kindness, patience and love as a guide. I think it’s also important to note that El is the first person to say you are your own healer — she is like a caring guide helping to illuminate your own path as you make your way. And for that I am eternally thankful. “

Together, we explore...
Where you are suppressing/repressing grief, giving it permission to be expressed and moved, so that you can embody greater joy.
Tender areas that hold the unresolved charge of trauma, so that you can slowly begin to widen out your window of tolerance, accessing more curiosity about how your body has kept you safe through survival patterns, and how you can begin to embody a more authentic expression of self.
Unnamed dreams and aspirations for your life that you previously were too scared to name and claim.
Where scarcity shows up in your beliefs, shifting into a conscious abundant mindset so that you can begin to recognize and appreciate the many gifts and skills you already possess.
Your relationship with the Unseen, forging deep relationships with the dead that are guiding you and speaking to you, supporting you in your liberation to make decisions aligned to your soul’s purpose.
What it feels like to embody “right relationship” with yourself, the Earth, the Cosmos, so that you can flow with the energy instead of forcing, and be more easeful in your life.
The intention and WHY for your life.
We work together intuitively with the following modalities to create a bespoke program that addresses your needs.

I want everyone to appreciate the joy and wonder of every single moment of their lives. We should be astonished that we are here when we look around at the exquisite wonder and beauty of everything. I think everyone has a sense of that already. It’s leaning into that more fully. There is a reason every day to celebrate that we’re alive, that we have another day to explore whatever this gift is of being conscious, of being aware, of being aware that we are aware. That’s the deep mystery that I keep talking about. That’s to be celebrated!
