Heart Gate Ceremony
Embody your Pleasure supported by Rose
Reclaim the radiant pleasure of your eternally youthful joy & restore the fluidity of your heart center so that you can give & receive greater intimacy without giving yourself away or shutting other’s out.
Somatic Ceremony with Breast Massage & Rose Communion to support the integration of grief, loss, heartache, apathy or overwhelm
-
This ceremony may serve you if….
You are struggling with any kind of breast tissue imbalances such as: breast pain, breast tenderness, cysts, hardened tissue, congested lymph nodes, heaviness in the breasts, unidentified lumps, and/or challenges breastfeeding
You recently experienced a loss (relationship, loved one, home or sense of belonging within community, unexpected change) and you feel contracted, stuck or protected in ways that are limiting you.
You want to stop breastfeeding your child but either you, your child or both of you are struggling to let go & shift into a new parent-child dynamic of support
You feel disconnected from your breasts and/or a sense of worthiness to receive pleasure for pleasure sake ~ without needing to give anything in return, but simply for your own enjoyment.
You feel overwhelmed and drained by the demands of life and relationship and you can’t seem to find the inspiration or joy you once had
-
Your breasts are extensions of your heart, highly attuned to the electromagnetic frequencies that surround you. Not only are they physically designed to nourish life, breast tissue holds the most concentration of our lymphatic rivers. Breast health is essential to our overall emotional and energetic vitality.
Yet most women are disconnected from their breasts ~ which is to say, their hearts. The breasts are often ignored, compressed into restrictive clothing or bras and only receive attention during sex or when breast feeding.
Breast massage not only supports a deep physical clearing by softening scar tissue, draining cysts, and moving pain & stagnation, it can also be a more soft & gentle experience, offering the nourishment of touch & working on the more subtle, emotional realms.
Keeping the rivers of your heart center clear, nourished & flowing is essential for optimal health, to prevent dis-ease & be embodied in your intuitive feminine channel.
-
Rose teaches us how to remain soft within the strength of our own containment. Rose guides us in the healthy expression of boundaries & also how to soften, petal by petal, so that we can unfurl into the fullness of our authentic sensual self expression. In this way, Rose deeply nourishes our Heart Gate.
Womb Gate Ceremony
Root into your Power supported by Nettle
Reclaim an embodied connection to your root as the unshakeable ground of your feminine power so that you can restore the flow of vital, creative energy to your womb & yoni.
Somatic Ceremony with Pelvic/Abdominal Bodywork & Nettle Communion to support the integration of sexual, medical or birth-related trauma or to nourish flourishing fertility.
-
This ceremony may serve you if…
You have experienced sexual, medical or birth-related trauma or you generally feel disconnected/numb in relation to your womb and/or yoni but want to feel a sense of rootedness & power in your feminine creative center.
You are preparing to conceive and you want to connect with your Spirit Baby, support your fertility and/or receive a womb blessing for creative conception in other ways.
You want to honor your womb & yoni as the center of your creative power by establishing a foundational self-intimacy practice that you can continue to nurture at home.

Don Elijio Panti, Grandfather of the lineage of Maya Abdominal Massage that I am initiated to offer says, “The uterus is a woman’s core. If it is out of balance, her whole life is out of balance — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.”
The techniques I use to support the proper alignment of the womb within the pelvis come from an unbroken chain of knowledge handed down from generations of midwives, healers & shamans in the Maya Tradition of Belize for some 5000 years.
The techniques effectively alleviate tissue congestion & organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen. This helps to resolve any number of digestive, menstrual & reproductive health issues.
The techniques also address & can release emotional & energetic tension from the abdomen.
I am also trained in Holistic Pelvic Care, which is an inter-vaginal massage modality that helps to release scar tissue, adhesion, energetic blockages, etc in & around the vagina & anus. This dramatically restores your sense of connection with your root & re-establishes a sense of grounded, internal safety.
-
Nettle is an incredibly nutritious plant full of vitamins & minerals that support the liver (digestion) womb & our generative (reproductive) energy on a cellular level. Nettle holds a strong maternal essence in that she “loves rough” with a sting that is as nurturing as it is sharp. Nettle directs us to what is good for us, what truly nourishes us ~ in doing so, she helps clear distortions around scarcity, urgency & fear in order to build our sense of discernment in what we really need.
Star Gate Ceremony
Connect to your Purpose supported by Mugwort
Reclaim a sense of grounded clarity & inner resource within a regulated nervous system so that you can navigate through the world with greater alignment in your Truth & maintain healthy energetic boundaries.
Somatic Ceremony with Craniosacral Therapy & Mugwort Communion to support the integration of spiritual growth, entheogenic/psychedelic experiences or ancestral lineage healing.
-
This ceremony may serve you if…
You feel disconnected from your Sacred Purpose in this life but know there is something very meaningful you came here to do. You may have a sense for this but you’re not entirely sure what it is or how to make it happen.
You recently had a profound experience with entheogenic or psychedelic medicines that has altered your self-perception, relational life and/or life path & you recognize the need to integrate these new awareness into your identity before you can actualize them in your life.
You sense a strong connection with your blood and/or star ancestral lineages & you want to address any unhealed energies that may be preventing you from stepping more fully into your sacred gifts & purpose
-
There is a pulse of energy, a field of information & intelligence, that flows between our head & pelvic area that nourishes & sustains the light pillar of our spinal column, brain & CNS.
From the crown to the root, this rhythmic pulse is the foundation of health within the body as it is within this tidal fluid-matrix that our multi-dimensional Spirit in-forms our physical body.
CST is gentle hands-on technique that uses light pressure on the head, neck & sacrum to support the body’s integration of pain patterns due to chronic stress, tension & trauma. It also supports your connection with your Spiritual Blueprint in profound ways.
Often, when we experience prolonged stress or trauma or have a peak spiritual experience that shifts our perceptual field, our soul can become fragmented & symptoms can arise. When this occurs, our body & soul need to come back together in a coherent rhythm.
CST assists this process as well as supports you to integrate multi-generational trauma patterns from both blood & star ancestral lineages.
Audrey facilitates somatic awareness practices & shamanic soul-retrieval alongside CST to help treat a number of conditions by assisting the nervous system to rebalance on a (w)holistic level.
-
Mugwort has a strong affinity for both the crown & the root. In this way, she is a powerful ally for navigating through the astral realms of your Soul’s Akashic Record, supporting visionary messages to come in, while also ensuring that you stay grounded. As well, she integrates blood & star ancestry. Mugwort coaxes us out of stagnation & helps us remember the merriment of who we are & why we came here.
What participants are saying…
-
I highly recommend entrusting yourself to Audrey’s healing work. She is incredibly gifted within a variety of modalities and blends trauma informed psychological understanding with the intuitive and energetic arts in addition to having a highly refined touch within her hands on bodywork. When I’ve received bodywork from her, she skillfully finds the exacts areas that need addressing. She is incredibly in tune, trustworthy and has been very dedicated to her path. It’s an honor to receive support from her, and every session I’ve had from massage to ceremonial womb healing to craniosacral therapy has been wonderfully supportive and transformative. I am also a healing arts practitioner and am rather picky about who I work with and Audrey is absolutely my go to. Worth it in every way :) you are a blessing Audrey!

I did a Ceremonial Womb Healing with Audrey & wow it was such a profound experience for me to reconnect with my body, my womb, and my throat. Audrey is an exceptional, grounded, feminine guide who held space for me to be me. I tend to move through life so quickly, bypassing signals & feelings, and she invited me every step of the way to slow down and be with how my body was trying to communicate with me. I came out feeling so much lighter, so much more embodied - like I finally learned the language my body has been speaking ever so softly my entire life. Highly recommend to every soul sister looking for an embodied guide who makes space for the depth of your experience to come up. Thank you thank you thank you.

Audrey is a true healer with pure energy and precise attention to the body physically and energetically. I've seen her twice now. The first time was for her Somatic ceremonial womb healing work which was a full package of three sessions that helped me go deeper into underlining patterns that were causing me suffering or pain in my body. I was able to track really deeply into my body and unwind allot of stuck energy. The energetic work seemed to go on for weeks, and cleared up really deep old stagnant patterns. The second session was for cranial sacral and myofacial release therapy. My neck and left should got completely locked up after sleeping in the wrong position and I left the session feeling 40% better and by later in the evening was 80% better. I am so grateful for the full spectrum of awareness she has in per practice. Highly recommend!

-
The Ceremonial Healing Retreat is typically 6 hours long, but we begin the preparing for the retreat 1-2 weeks in advance and then integrate the retreat 7-10 days following ~ so you will be held in the energy of this experiences for 2-4 weeks.
-
The Ceremonial Healing Retreat costs $1500 USD
-
Alongside the Day Long Retreat, you will also receive an an Initial Counsel Session 1 week prior as well as an Integration Session 7-10 days after the Retreat. I provide everything you need while we are together, including ample tea, snacks, light food & all supplies. Transportation and/or lodging is not included.
-
During our time together, I recommend you wear layered clothing that is comfortable for you to move freely in or to take on & off as needed.
Feel free to bring any sacred items, a journal/pen or anything else that you want present or to include for your own purposes.
If you are traveling a distance to attend, I highly recommend you plan to stay for the full weekend. This allows you the time/space necessary to integrate the healing work we do together, which is typically quite deep.
Since these Ceremonies are entirely spirit-led, there are often follow-up suggestions for you to fulfill as a way of completing the ceremonial healing. It’s nice to have time for this.
Often people feel very expanded after a session. If they move too quickly back into the flow of daily life, this expansion can quickly contract. I provide you with Integration Guidelines prior to the retreat so that you can plan your stay accordingly, however, I generally recommend you have time off work, child care and/or as much personal space as you can for 24-48 hours afterward.
