This is about being in deep embodied connection with self, others, the natural world and Spirit.

It is about remembering and reconnecting to what makes us human as well as what makes us divine.

It is about honouring our differences, and making space for rupture, repair, and our shared humanness.

It is about moving with our collective grief, as oppressive systems begin to crumble around us.

Rachael Collins

Rachael Collins, LPC, ACS, BC-DMT is a cisgender, autistic, queer white woman. She is a mother, a weaver, a teacher, a somatic psychotherapist, shamanic practitioner, and former Lead Clinical Instructor for Naropa University’s Somatic Counseling program. Rachael specializes in utilizing body based, relational and creative approaches with folks experiencing complex trauma and neurodiversity.

As well as mentoring other clinicians in truly taking their seat, her current area of exploration is in bridging the seen and unseen within our bodies and oppressive systems surrounding us in order to support folks in finding more integration, wholeness and integrity.

Tajah Schall

Tajah Schall, LPC, R-DMT is a cisgender, Black, queer woman with roots in Philadelphia (Lenni-Lenape land). She is a dancer, musician, song catcher, poet and mama.

Professionally, Tajah is a somatic psychotherapist, dance/movement therapist, and former chair of Naropa University’s Somatic Counseling program. As a social justice counselor and consultant, she is deeply committed to examining her own identities, both of privilege and marginalization, in a loving and embodied way. Tajah works to uplift the experiences of folks in marginalized bodies, and to support folks in privileged bodies recognize their privilege without getting stuck in shame or savior complex.

  • “Rachael guided me home to my own wisdom and seat as a therapist. She holds compassionate space while gently steering others into what is living unspoken in the body or in the systems around us. I felt held and seen by Rachael in a way that stretched my growth and increased my groundedness.”

    Mentorship for Healing Practitioners & Therapists

  • “Rachael has been a tremendously positive force in my life. Her kindness, understanding, gentleness, patience and belief in me has helped me through chronic life challenges. She has helped me find my own guiding light again. I’m grateful that I have had her as an ally throughout my healing journey.”

    Spiritual-Somatic Psychotherapy Client

  • "Rachel is connected to herself and the world in such an embodied way. She pairs directness with kindness (and humor!), and knows where to push me, when to wade in deeper, when to invite gentleness. She helped me embrace my neurodivergence and meet myself exactly where I am."

    Somatic Psychotherapy Clinical Supervisee

  • “Rachael is an incredible therapist and caring individual. She encompasses unparalleled attunement, empathy, and connection with not only her clients, but all people in her life. She has a gentle ability to create substantial, long lasting change based on the individual goals of each client.”

    Spiritual-Somatic Psychotherapy Client

  • “It is rare to find a spiritual practitioner that is also a licensed therapist. Rachael’s combines her deep connection with nature and the spirit world, with years of training in traumas, triggers, and how to safely hold space for a client through their spiritual healing. Her quiet confidence feels safe and clear. ”

Equitable Pricing Model

We believe that mental and spiritual health is every human’s right. We recognise that the ‘market rate’ disproportionately impacts folks who face financial hardship, racism, sexism, ableism, etc. We use an equitable pricing model as a tool for economic and social justice, while supporting the sustainability of our own practice.
