Meet PHOENIX
Grief & Freedom Doula
(she/her/creatrix)
Phoenix is an alchemist, change agent, spiritual midwife, and social artist who is passionate about both personal freedom & collective liberation. In her practice, she stimulates the transmutation of stagnant energy into meaningful action.
She created the term “freedom doula” in 2020, as one of her duties in this life is to assist individuals & groups as a spiritual steward while they birth forward a new, empowered life of their own creation.
Phoenix’s guiding ideology from which she operates daily is “life as ceremony.” The concept of ‘life as ceremony’ is one that acknowledges the inherent sacredness of our unique and profound life journey.
Throughout her life, Phoenix has been devoted to the sacred mission in service to humanity. For the past 20 years, she has engaged in work as a community organizer, workshop facilitator, guest/panelist speaker, event coordinator, and community based healer. Phoenix also has experience as a teacher in the classroom. During the pandemic, she taught elementary school children virtually. She has also been featured as a guest presenter for Mycology Psychology’s Holonic Practitioners Program with a course called, “Ceremony and Ancestral Wisdom.”
A perpetual student of life, Phoenix is currently enrolled in a Transpersonal Psychology Ph.D program. Phoenix has experience as a psychedelic integration coach, psychedelic trip sitter & psycho-spiritual guide. She has previously participated in MAPS sponsored, The Zendo Project — a trained, psychedelic peer support program that provides safe spaces to festival attendees. Phoenix is also trained as an end-of-life doula and is a graduate of The Anam Cara Academy under the tutelage of Mary Telliano.
She has also developed her talents through studies of traditional indigenous healing practices, various forms of divination, ritual and ceremonial works. A kaitiaki, guardian of the Divine Feminine principle, Phoenix has a deep love for Pachamama and all her creatures. Her affinity towards the plant kingdom has led her to study the therapeutic benefits of herbs and aromatherapy for over 10 years. In times of personal crisis, Phoenix has leaned into her medicine to create blends which elevated her out of dark moments. As a divine channel of the spirit world, shamanic journeying, aromatherapy, theta and pranic energetic healing modalities are also incorporated into her practice.
