Based on the work of Dr. Daniel Foor at AncestralMedicine.org, Ancestral Lineage Healing is a restoration of the art of ancestor ritual and tending.  ALH is a way of recovering our direct connection to our ancestors and leaning into their strength and wisdom for support and guidance.  It is the primary framework within which I work.

​

The work begins with a thorough history of the client's spiritual framework.  Ancestral Lineage Healing is not religious, nor does it interfere at all with religious practices or affiliations one may already have.  The work is practical:  it assumes that spirits are real, including the spirits of our ancestors, and it also assumes we can communicate with them.  

​

The work is based in ritual.  In other words, we use structured, repeatable meditations to "drop in" to the liminal space where spirit contact and communication occurs.  We humans, as a species, possess the equipment -- our hearts, minds, and attention -- to be in communication with the unseen.  For thousands of years human beings across cultures have had rich daily contact with the spirits of their ancestors.  We've largely lost these ritual skills in the modern West.  Ancestral Lineage Healing is a recovery of these practices.

​

The antidotes to intergenerational trauma rest with the people who suffered the initial injuries, stressors, and dislocations.  These people are the spirits of our ancestors, and they have a deep capacity to help us transform and unload the intergenerational traumas that effect us here in the material present.
