Ancestral Lineage Healing Towards Personal & Collective Liberation

What is ancestral lineage healing?

A practice of healing intergenerational trauma and attuning to connection, resilience, and spiritual support.

It’s my honor to facilitate ancestral lineage healing for those called to transform inherited wounds and burdens into abundant blessings. For many people, cultural practices of ancestral reverence have been lost through centuries of colonialism, war, displacement, migration, and assimilation. Thankfully, each of us has wise, well, loving, earth-honoring ancestors lovingly waiting for us to turn toward them. Ancestral lineage repair work helps us reconnect directly with the wisdom of our lineages, without unconsciously appropriating traditions of other cultures.

Many of the ills of today’s world are rooted in unmetabolized ancestral pain and trauma, which influences living humans by way of the troubled dead (aka ghosts). As we learn to establish and maintain boundaries with our troubled ancestors, and reconnect and collaborate with our well and loving ancestors to heal and transform the wounds and burdens in our lines, we can both experience healing in our own lives and families, and help shift collective consciousness.

How can we work together?

Ancestral Lineage Healing

I primarily guide sessions in downtown Northampton, but can also meet remotely if needed.

Groups

I facilitate in person and remote groups at the intersection of relational somatics, cultural healing, spiritual resilience, and liberation.

Consultation

I’m pleased to offer consultation for politicized healers, ritualists, and spiritual leaders.

“Simon’s capacity to understand the nature of true healing is vast. They have impeccable skills in keen observation and genuine reflection, and are patient, kind, open-hearted, and supportive of their clients and students. I have rarely come across another practitioner so committed to transformative healing with such profundity of heart.”

“Simon’s background and experience as a trainer in dismantling racism and white supremacy is powerfully complemented by their intuitive knowing and capacity for deep listening to their own body while they hold space for others.”

“I felt during our workshop time that I was in the presence of a teacher, a healer, a fellow traveler, a person awakened to the Spirit. Thank you for the time and energy you poured into the workshop.”

“Simon’s radical presence, a blend of deeply-rooted authenticity and competency, shines through work. They are truly a healer’s healer – I recommend them to my colleagues regularly!”

Simon is a politicized healer and ritualist committed to supporting multidimensional and intergenerational healing for the sake of collective liberation.

One of the biggest gifts of this work is healing intergenerational shame and getting to practice and cultivate secure attachment with the ancestors, which in turn serves as a reference point for tending healthy intimacy and relationality with the natural world and other humans.

I facilitate this work in a way that nurtures and cultivates embodied presence and welcomes right pacing. This practice is ritually and somatically safe and grounded, and doesn’t require prior experience with spirit based healing work. You also need not know genealogical information about your lineages or be in touch with living family members.
