I am a holistic guide, ceremonialist, and pattern-reader devoted to helping people untie knots — in the body, in the lineage, and in their creative or life path — so they can step into their next chapter with fierce clarity and the capacity to hold the juicy goodness life has to offer.

Some knots show up in the body as stagnation, inflammation, hormonal chaos, or exhaustion.

Others show up in the soul as repeating patterns, emotional blocks, or ancestral stories that aren’t yours.

And some knots appear in your creative identity — confusion around your purpose, your expression, your offerings, your path.

My work meets all three.

I help people clear the physical and ancestral blocks while also helping them create, express, and step into the work they’re here to do.

This includes business clarity, brand alchemy, creative direction, and the deep inner work needed to embody the next version of yourself.

I fill in the gaps most practitioners miss, bridging modalities no one has yet: the lymph meets the lineage, the lineage meets the identity, the identity meets the creative calling. That’s the alchemy.

My Story

My path began earlier than most. A series of childhood ruptures taught me, long before I had language for it, how much a person can carry.

There was gaslighting. Scapegoating. Heartbreak. Trauma. And, over the years, an unsettling number of unexpected deaths and losses among the people I loved.

In the midst of it all, when I was 11 years old, I encountered my first shamanic teacher, Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen.

That encounter opened a door I wouldn’t fully understand for many years. I began to glimpse a way of seeing the world beyond what could be explained on the surface—a world of spirit, symbolism, lineage, energy, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Then came more loss.

Less than a month shy of my 19th birthday, my first (and truest) love was tragically killed back home in Toronto while I was on the other side of the world, coaching rugby in Australia.

I was far away when the news came, and as it reached my ears, something in my Soul broke open in ways I never could have fathomed.

And strangely, the deaths around me seemed to stop after that—but death itself had not left. I began to communicate with the dead, was visited by spirits, and had a channel open wide exposing me to all sorts of things. Terrified, I called Grandmother Kaariina. She told me I must begin the journey of Reiki.

What followed became a ceaseless initiation into the archetype of the living phoenix : the slow death of identities, adaptations, beliefs, and versions of myself that could no longer come with me.


Upon my Toronto return, I dove into Usui and Holy Fire Reiki Lineages. Since my grief portal opening in Australia, for the next decade I’d move through mysterious and increasingly debilitating symptoms—full-body eczema, hormonal disruption, painful cycles, insomnia, depression, and chronic inflammation. I searched for answers everywhere. In the jungle. In bottomless cups of Ayahuasca and plant medicines. Lymphatic system training. Chinese Medicine, going vegan, holistic nutrition, somatics, psychotherapy, biohacking apparatuses, carnivore lifestyle and allll the supplements...you name it, I tried it.

What I initially experienced as illness became an invitation into a much deeper excavation of my body, my nervous system, my lineage, my grief, my relationship to life, and the patterns I had unconsciously inherited and carried.

Just shy of my 30th birthday, I experienced my first Family Constellations session as a focus client. I had experienced it in the past as a representative and observer, and always knew I’d be drawn into this modality one day.

Here. In this remarkable online birthday portal, a new level unlocked. I received peace and answers I’d been seeking for what felt like my entire life.

Pieces of my life that had seemed unrelated suddenly began speaking to one another. I began to understand that healing wasn’t simply about fixing symptoms or becoming a better version of myself. It was about seeing what had been hidden, honouring what had been lost, releasing what was never mine to carry, and allowing life to move again.

I began rebuilding my entire relationship with being alive.

Family Constellations. Lymphatic and fascial bodywork. Mineral intelligence and detox pathways. Womb and Sexual healing. Ceremonial cacao and prayer. Daily devotion. Creativity. Grief. And the courageous work of dismantling and rebuilding my identity, my business, and my vision for my life.

Over more than a decade, the pieces began revealing themselves as one body of work: ancestral and shamanic wisdom, systemic healing, embodied practice, ceremony, and the alchemy of turning what has been carried unconsciously into something conscious, alive, and free.

This is the heart of SashaMama:

The body as doorway.
The lineage as root system.
Grief as a portal.
Creative expression as the unfolding.

I work with people who know there is something deeper beneath the pattern—something asking to be seen, felt, released, or brought into form.

Together, we unravel what has become stuck, reclaim vitality, and make room for the life that wants to move through you next—whether that means healing, creating, launching, leading, loving, or becoming someone you have never been before.

The SashaMama Philosophy: True wellness is radical. It begins with radical acceptance of what has been, radical responsibility for what is, and playful devotion to the daily disciplines that shape who you’re becoming. Your body is the first altar. Your lineage is the curriculum. Your creative expression is the prayer.

When the body opens, the heart softens.

When the lineage untangles, the future shifts.

When the knots release, the next chapter becomes obvious.

And when you find yourself looping, or when opening feels impossible —

that’s where we begin.

And my prayer for you, dear reader, dear wildflower, dear friend…is that you find the courage to enter the places within you that you cannot yet explain.

You do not need to have all the answers. You do not need to know exactly what you’re looking for. And you don’t need to journey to the ends of the earth—or take yourself out of this world—to encounter the mystery.

Sometimes the deepest initiation is simply becoming willing to listen to the body, to the grief…

To the pattern that keeps repeating.

To the dream that won’t leave you alone.

There are entire worlds waiting beneath the surface of an ordinary life.

My work is an invitation to enter them—with curiosity, courage, reverence, and a willingness to discover what becomes possible when the unseen is finally brought into consciousness.

Training and LINEAGE

For over a decade, I have trained across multiple disciplines in bodywork, energy work, movement, ancestral healing, and shamanic traditions. My path continues through ongoing study with respected teachers and lineages, including Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen, Maestro Manuel Rufino, and Nana Marina.

I am a certified Reiki Master Teacher, a Kambo facilitator and teacher, with additional advanced study under traditional Kambo keepers. I am currently completing my third and fourth Vision Quests through the Intertribal Altar of Initiatic Traditions. Upon completion, I will receive the Chanupa — the Sacred Prayer Pipe.

More certifications and forever ongoing training includes Family Constellations with Marina Toledo, founder of the Hellinger Institute, who trained directly with Bert Hellinger. As well as advanced lymphatic and vagus nerve education with Dr. Perry Nickelston. I am currently expanding my studies into Traditional Chinese Medicine and becoming a certified Mineral Balancing Coach with a growing love for Peptide Therapy!
