1:1 Psycho-spiritual therapy
Does it feel like everything is falling apart?
Are you staying in an unhealthy relationship too long?
Are you struggling with addictive behaviour and feeling out of control?
Are you relating to life from fear and scarcity, as if there wasn’t enough for your needs to be met?
Do you see yourself as a soul searcher, a dreamer, an outsider, a misfit, a scapegoat, a black sheep, a rebel, or a truth-teller?

How I work
I offer depth, soul-based talking therapy as well as a tailored ‘Combined and Creative Therapy’ approach. The foundation of the combined approach integrates my traditional training as a psychospiritual therapist, with the medicine of nature therapy, shamanic work - the work of the soul - and creative arts and writing therapy.
After our initial meeting, where I listen closely to what you are seeking from our work together, we organically choose which modalities will serve your growth and higher potential.
People I journey with
I value working with people who wish to reconnect with their soul, recover, heal and grow from heartache, burnout, extraction culture. People who wish to find belonging and to live authentically and meaningfully, with courage and a deep peace and inner knowing.
What I want for all the individuals, couples and families who journey with me, is that you can live a life free from feeling activated, or identified with your painful past, without feeling overwhelmed and triggered, and instead where you feel deeply empowered.
Philosophy
At the heart of my life and my work is the exploration and mystery of what it means to belong to ourselves, to be human, and to belong to the Earth. I am a midwife for the soul to support and guide people to see their challenges in the greater context of life, where the journey of wholeness is both subtle and profound and your unique sensitivities and eccentricities, your essence self, is guided to unfold in all your majesty.
I have a non-pathologizing, compassionate and trauma-sensitive approach to psychological growth, emotional healing and spiritual transformation. Without judgement, blaming or shaming, we welcome all parts of you to come forth through gradually making the unconscious conscious. We may explore unreleased grief, and unfinished endings and look more closely at the theme of reciprocity in your life. A journey where the gold in your disowned shadow parts, are welcomed and integrated.
Our collaboration unfolds depending on the timeline written within you, where the gravity of our work together, will be in the slow maturation of the human soul, and the birth and mystery of the human heart To journey with an empathic, attuned fellow traveller, requires commitment from you, and from me, and is rare in this busy, quick-fix world. Our work takes place in a container of love, grounded in your basic goodness, and mine, and although not always easy, the results are transformational and magical.

Depth Relational, Soul-based Psychotherapy
I work with your attachment styles, triggers, and emotional boundary work. We unearth the most authentic you and process through past pains, limitations and heartaches, so that you leave therapy with a new way of being in the world. This approach is for you if you are finding yourself stuck in behaviours that are interfering with how you wish to live your best life; if you are frequently finding yourself triggered, losing your ‘thirst for connection’ in a bottle, in sex, with food, drugs, or in destructive relationship patterns. This is for you if you are wanting to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your behaviours and your feelings. We can safely explore and dive deeper into unconscious patterns of relating, or uncomfortable, secretive, and hidden emotions that have been created through relational wounds.
Nature therapy
The cyclical nature of the natural world - the seasons, day and night, dark and light, sunsets and moon rises, and the endless ‘birth – growth – death – renewal’ cycle of life, can connect us with the greater story of life and death. Although we may sometimes feel loneliness and isolation, even alienation and loss of purpose, it is crucial to remember ourselves as nature - interconnected with the natural world and beyond.
I have a base-camp of chairs and a fire pit, where we can sit under the canopy of trees, or the stars. Getting back into contact with elements of fire and earth holds tremendous healing potential and helps us to reconnect with forgotten parts of ourselves. This is for you if you are feeling depressed and disconnected, in burnout and addictions, and want to work through feelings of grief, including eco-grief and the grief of being separated from nature. I work with people with a deep compassion and with people I cherish, even when to be cherished feels painful, we find a way through.

Shamanic practice
I combine insights of my shamanic training into my therapeutic work by deepening our awareness about the masculine and the feminine archetypes, ancestral wounds, intergenerational trauma, the sacred feminine and shadow work.
We may work with different ceremonies and rituals, the elements and the medicine wheel, in which we seek to explore and understand how your old patterns and past conditioning have limited your connections with yourself, your relationships and your preferred ways of being in the world. Integrating your shadow, and embracing it, is at the core to this way of working. This work particularly focuses on walking in life tenderly on the earth, with beauty, and focuses on a reciprocal relationship with nature beings and the other than human world. This work supports you to remain true to yourself, to trust your intuition and to live with intention.
I am training as a fourth-level Paqo, a healer in the Q’ero Andean tradition, with a lineage and teachers, Pampamesayoq Don Augustine Machacca Florez and Santos Machacca Apaz.

What clients say
“Lavinia has helped me to become a better person - the person I always wanted to be but never thought I could be. Today, I have a high, positive self-esteem, and the relationships with my colleagues, family members and my husband are better than I could have ever dreamt of. We are expecting our first child without fear or worry, even though I suffered from extreme anxiety and severe low self-esteem for most of my adult life.”
