WHOLISTIC Counseling+Mentorship

“If doctors were to treat not only the sick parts of the body but also the human consciousness, then I think we would see a great reduction in the need for doctors and hospitals. People with ailments would go to their nearby philosopher, for help in understanding the mistakes they have made, and then go home determined to live a better life. It may well be that the physicians of the future will be more like counselors than the doctors we have today.”

—Dr. Masaru Emoto, the Water Messenger, Kin 90 White Crystal Dog

WHOLISTIC counseling is a modality which approaches any challenge in life as an opportunity for healing and awakening rather than a ‘problem’ that needs to be ‘fixed’. From this perspective, the outdated tendency to pathologize and stigmatize are transmuted so that a real and lasting experience of HEALING and TRANSFORMATION can occur.

The foundation of WHOLISTIC counseling is based upon the SPIRITUAL TRUTH that you are innately WHOLE and HOLY, just as you are. There is nothing that you can or cannot ‘do’ to change this. Due to familial, cultural, and societal conditioning, you most likely have received messages, both direct and indirect. which have told you that there is something ‘wrong’ with you if you are experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and/or despair. From a WHOLISTIC perspective, any dis-ease of mind/body/e-motions and/or perceived disconnection from the SPIRITUAL realm is seen as information to facilitate HEALING of trauma experienced within the realms of your personal, intergenerational, and multidimensional aspects of being.

As the entire global family continues to navigate what can be felt as a ‘Dark Night’, it is only natural to be facing personal and intergenerational shadows-aspects of the self which have remained ‘hidden’ due to fear, shame, guilt, and/or a sense of unworthiness of love and acceptance…From the WHOLISTIC perspective, this is a necessary EVOLutionary process that the entire family of humanity is going through in order to EVOLve our consciousness to a place in which WE can embody a LOVING, INCLUSIVE, COMPASSIONATE, PEACEFUL, and COLLABORATIVE reality for ourselves and the generations to come…

The Plotting Your Course session consists of an empowering exploration of your journey at this time and how current global and personal circumstances are impacting you with a focus on how to further embrace your internal EVOLutionary navigation system of TRUST, COURAGE, DETERMINATION, and INNATE WORTHINESS. WE utilize a STRENGTHS-based perspective, integrating ALL aspects of yourSelf-mind, body, e-motions, and SPIRIT-with a focus on your direct experience of optimal wellness and well-being.

The SHINE journey focuses upon what CONNECTS you to yourSelf and ALL that IS. ALL offerings are interSPIRITual which HONORS all backgrounds and unique expressions. I AM DEDICATED to meeting you where you are within the AWAKENING journey.

Even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are exactly where you are meant to be within your EVOLutionary journey!

Come as you are!

In addition to the exploration of your present circumstances through the lens of your conscious mind (thought patterns), other modalities utilized to connect with your subconscious and superconscious mind might include mindfulness meditation, visualization, breath work, divination through cards, and calling upon guidance from your personal support team of earth and spirit helpers.

The Plotting Your Course sessions are held virtually through Zoom video conferencing.


Plotting Your Course sessions are available for couples, family members, business partners, and other significant connections. If you are seeking a consultation for yourself and one or more other people,

Thank you so much for your potent and gentle Love, Revelations, Healing energies. So beautiful... Left our session feeling Exuberant, Alive, Grateful, Humbled...Now Swimming and Abiding in All that is wanting to release... Deep Reverence and appreciation for You and Your power and support and our Multidimensional connection in this Sacred Dance...

Shamanic Energy Medicine Healing Sessions: Quantum HEALING through a Direct experience of the wisdom of your soul

Shamanic Energy Medicine Sessions are NOW being offered at The Frida Casita in Northwest Austin. There are offered in 1 hr, 2 hr, and immersive personal retreat experiences.

Shamanic WISDOM is the oldest SPIRITUAL tradition known to humanKIND. It is cross-cultural, inclusive, and steeped in expansive, yet practical traditions. You needn’t ‘believe’ a certain dogma or follow any particular religious ‘rules’ to participate. You are a human being living on Mother Earth at this moment in ‘time’-YOU BELONG. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.’

Shamanic Energy Medicine HEALING sessions are a coCREATIVE journey in which I ALIGN my background as a psychotherapist with my path as a Shamanic Practitioner to provide you with a gentle, yet TRANSFORMATIONAL experience which incorporates ALL aspects of who you are: mind, body, e-motions, and SOUL. I guide you through an intention-setting experience to presence what you are yearning to HEAL and discover through the energy medicine experience, which creates a pathway for you to go on a journey to CONNECT with the innate WISDOM of your Soul, known as Gnosis. I facilitate a safe, sacred space for your journey through meditation, breath work, soothing music, and Shamanic Energy Medicine. Once the journey is complete, intentional space is co created for integration of the session, which will include practical tools to take home with you.

With deep REVERENCE and HUMILITY, I call upon indigenous WISDOM of earth allies like crystals, plants, flower essences, animal totems, and sound therapy that aid in the HEALING journey. WE also explore your subtle allies from the SPIRIT realm, including your bright and shiny ancestors, guides, and allies to SUPPORT your HEALING INTENTIONS.

This ANCIENT WHOLISTIC framework enables you to have a felt experience of ‘quantum HEALING’, which can be understood as SHIFTing intrusive thoughts, outdated narratives, and/or physical, mental, e-motional, and SPIRITual dis-ease in a short amount of linear time.


Shamanic Energy Medicine is beneficial for:

*stress management

*facilitating a lasting experience of relaxation

*chronic pain management

*navigating chronic illness

*regulating sleep

*healing trauma

*navigating experiences of depression and/or anxiety

*navigating grief related to terminal illness, death, and/or any life-changing circumstances

*cultivating a meaningful spiritual connection

*experiencing a sense of inner peace regardless of outer circumstances

*gaining clarity about significant life decisions

*feeling a sense of balance of mind, body, e-motions, and spirit

At 6 year’s old, my son was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety. For a period of time, he was locked in fight or flight mode due to the abuse he had previously suffered.  I took my son to see Heather in desperation feeling that something was missing from his healing program that was primarily Western in approach.  Upon entering Heather’s sanctuary, I saw a calmness in my son that I hadn’t seen in months.  Instead of displaying frenetic, unregulated energy, my son was able to channel his creativity with Heather through drawing and felt at ease to proceed with the energy work.  Heather was so kind and thoughtful in her approach with my son.  She really listened and connected to him.  He felt seen and heard in a way that he hadn’t in months and he spoke about his time with Heather many times after our sessions. As a parent, I am eternally grateful for the grace and guidance Heather provided me and my son.  If you are the parent or guardian of a child that is struggling with behavior or any ailment, I cannot recommend Heather enough.  She was and is the missing tool in our toolbox on our journey of healing.

I wish I could explain what goes on at the Sanctuary, but I can’t.  I don’t even fully understand it.  I don’t think my kids get it either, but they know it’s something special.  You know something MAGICAL is happening when your 10 & 12 year olds are asking to go see Heather.  They come away with a peacefulness that can’t be explained.  Heather also gives me practical tools to use in their day-to-day lives.  Navigating the changes of a couple of tweens can be rather daunting.  Heather provides unique guidance to each of my kids, not a one-size-fits-all approach, because she’s in tune with their unique energy.  Infinite Love & Gratitude to Heather for sharing her gifts.
— Natalie, Austin, TX
Thank you, Heather! I feel so great today!! I read Elizabeth Gilbert’s post today and I realize things are releasing and breaking off as my rocket propels. Powerful stuff! Thank you so much for guiding this rocket!! Much gratitude and love to you!!
— Dana, LCSW, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Amy and I wanted to reach out and give you some serious heartfelt thanks and praise! You’ve helped us so much I can’t even put it into words in helping us deal with all of this death and stuff. We just want you to know we really appreciate you and hope your days are filled with love and happiness! Much love!
— Ed and Amy, Austin, TX
Awaiting me on my return home from SHINE was a disturbing letter from a close relative. For the first time in over six decades, I was able to respond to her in a way that respected her but set boundaries for how I want to be treated. There are no accidents. Everything that happened to me on that day was for a reason. What was different was how I reacted to the relative and how I was able to take care of myself. I don’t know what’s ahead for me, but since El Dia de Los Muertos 2018, I have enjoyed a sense of freedom that’s been missing for a long time.

These are the 7 Major Chakras that WE work with during the session. All of the chakras are interconnected with your endocrine system, organs, e-motions, thoughts, belief systems, and SPIRITual Self. In WHOLISTIC HEALING, WE look upon any and all unrest or dis-ease in your being as having an energetic component to it. Energy medicine facilitates the movement of blocked energy that creates dis-ease of the mind, body, e-motions, and/or SPIRIT.


I just read through your New Moon Inventory and HAVE to tell you — I’m feeling in the 7/8 range on everything, and I am THRILLED!  I can very easily point to the SHINE program for this.  I still have my list of personal ways to still the mind, honor the body, and nurture the emotions posted on my computer, and am reminded daily to take time for these practices that help me stay connected & grounded.  In what has been a time of chaos and stress, I feel like I’ve been able to navigate everything with more ease and a greater sense of peace.  My goal when I began SHINE was to find a way to remain in a state of joy, even when life gets complicated.  I certainly felt that by the end of the program, but creating LASTING CHANGE is even more magical.
