My name is Amber. Your arrival here suggests a curiosity about what it means to live a deeply true, embodied, and connected life.

If you are navigating change, uncertainty, grief, loss, health challenges, trauma, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with yourself and the living world, you are welcome here.

This is a space for soul retrieval, liminal ground, and the careful tending of life’s threshold moments. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in somatic awareness, nervous system care, and grief-conscious practices that honour the body as a place of wisdom and memory.

Healing here is both inner and ecological. The body is understood as an ecosystem shaped by land, lineage, and season. Herbal medicine and traditional wisdom are woven alongside somatic and psycho-spiritual work, supporting balance, resilience, and a renewed sense of belonging.

This is a place for those seeking their own inner authority — the quiet knowing that lives beneath the surface. I walk alongside you through the life–death–life cycles of healing, supporting a return to vitality, rootedness, and a more alive relationship with yourself and the world.

Welcome, dear one.

My 1:1 offerings

  • As a somatic coach, my work centers on supporting you to return to relationship with your body, heart, and psyche — to listen to it, trust it, and allow it to guide the process of healing and growth. Somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body, and in this work it refers to the body as a living, sensing intelligence — inseparable from emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and the wider world we belong to.

    Somatic coaching invites a holistic, body-centered approach to transformation. Through gentle awareness, deep listening, sensory exploration, and narrative inquiry, we begin to notice how lived experience is held in the body — often as tension, contraction, pain, or unprocessed emotion. Rather than bypassing these experiences, we meet them with curiosity, care, and respect for the body’s pace and wisdom.

    This work is trauma-informed and grounded in nervous system awareness. Trauma, stress, and grief are understood not as failures or pathologies, but as adaptive responses held in the body. In our sessions, we work slowly and relationally to support regulation, safety, and choice — creating conditions where the body can release, reframe, and integrate what has been held.

    My approach is also psycho-spiritual and depth-oriented. Drawing from Jungian psychology, we explore the inner landscape through image, symbol, sensation, and story. Bodily experiences are understood as meaningful messengers of the psyche, offering insight into unconscious patterns, archetypal themes, and pathways toward integration and wholeness.

    Healing does not happen in isolation, and neither do we. This work is rooted in an ecological understanding of the self — recognizing that our bodies are shaped by land, lineage, seasons, and environment. Reconnecting with the rhythms of the natural world supports a sense of belonging and helps restore balance where disconnection has occurred.

    In session, we may work with somatic exercises, parts work, imagination, breath, and reflective dialogue to support embodiment and emotional capacity— moving from dissociation or disconnection toward greater presence, vitality, and self-expression. At the heart of this work is a remembering of your innate wisdom, resilience, and capacity for relationship.

    Somatic coaching is not about fixing or forcing change. It is about listening deeply, honouring what has been carried, and supporting a return to safety, agency, and aliveness — in the body, the psyche, and the living world you are a part of.

  • Have you recently experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a home, or something else deeply meaningful? In the face of such profound changes, it’s natural to feel lost or unsure how to navigate the waves of grief.

    As a trauma informed & trained grief tender, I am here to support you as you move through your grief in your own time and in the way that feels right for you, with guidance and support. As Martin Prechtel so beautifully says:

    “Grief expressed out loud for someone we have lost, or a country or home we have lost, is in itself the greatest praise we could ever give them. Grief is praise, because it is the natural way love honours what it misses.”

    Come sit with me, and let me witness and tend to your grief with care, compassion, and reverence. I will support you through attunement, co-regulation, nervous system support, witnessing, and orienting as you move through this journey. Together, we can honour the love and connection at the heart of your loss while supporting your spirit in something we were never meant to do alone.

  • Are you seeking natural support for your physical, emotional, and/or spiritual well-being?

    Herbal medicine offers a holistic approach to healing that honours the deep connection between body, mind, and nature.

    In a herbal therapy session, we’ll explore your unique needs and craft personalized plant-based protocols to support your journey using herbal medicine, plant spirit medicine, and holistic nutrition as our foundation. Whether you’re navigating chronic health challenges, hormonal imbalances, stress, or simply seeking greater balance and vitality, I’m here to support you.

    Our sessions may include:

    • Customized herbal protocols tailored to your unique system.

    • Nutritional guidance to complement and enhance your healing.

    • Rituals, ceremonies, or mindfulness practices to deepen your connection to the plants and their wisdom.

    Together, we’ll co-create a plan that supports your whole being, integrating the healing power of plants with your personal goals. Let’s reconnect you with the wisdom of nature to bring harmony and nourishment to your life.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver

my approach

I weave together somatics, herbalism, ritual, and attunement to support the whole being—body, mind, and spirit. I also bring elements of meditation, ceremony, and ritual into my practice, grounding healing in the sacred.

My approach is rooted in a Buddhist-Animist worldview, influenced by Eco & Depth Psychology, Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Relational & Eco-Somatics, Celtic Tradition, and Contemplative Practices. I offer a space where the entirety of your inner and outer wilderness are welcome.

By learning to safely feel, come back to presence, and express all that lives within us, we discover access to our greatest pleasure, joy, and love.

Partnering somatics with nature and its medicine creates a channel for deep transformation back into the wilderness of your wise soul.

This path I walk began over a decade ago as a way to find healing myself, so that I could offer my work to others from an embodied and authentic place. I feel that we cannot guide others where we have not journeyed ourselves.

What guides me.

I believe in the power of intuitive wisdom, community, ritual, nature, and embodiment to guide us through life, death, grief and transformation. My work is not about fixing or transcending pain—it is about deep presence, attunement, and discovery of your wild, beautiful truth.

I currently reside on the ancestral lands of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation on the west coast of so-called Canada. Outside of this work, you’ll often find me gardening, singing, swimming, or dancing.
