Give yourself the gift of a Healing Session
Hi, I'm Emily ❤️ the Maven behind Haven Maven Community
I am an energy medicine, yoga and meditation practitioner as well as a lifelong student of astrology, Earth medicine, and spiritual / mind-body-spirit connections.
I believe that we evolve over time, spiritually, philosophically, with our relationships - including our relationships with ourselves. We are transformational beings. And, as such, are on journeys of self discovery and growth. This is the alchemy, this is the magic: That everything is alive and has spirit, or consciousness, and we are continually in process of being extraordinary.
This site is an invitation imbued with intention. Think of it like a rain drop you catch on your tongue, or embers in a fire circle that radiate heat and hold your gaze. Think of it as the wind moving through leaves on a tree, or soft but firm earth on your bare feet. This is how I would like to engage with you--with joy, presence, intention, and support.
I guide individuals and groups through sacred space. For example, I've led classes and workshops incorporating energy healing practices, yoga, meditation; women's circles; home and land clearing and blessings; ceremonies for release and renewal. The space we are in could be personal or public, formal or informal, event or everyday based. Experiences are designed with intention and to meet your needs. You express the intention, and together we will create a truly meaningful offering--one that is curated from beautiful and deeply supportive and transformative practices.
Thank you for considering me to support you on your journey. You already have all the tools and knowledge. My passion is nurturing your well-being, which in turn services the community. May we live intentionally, with purpose. Be content with one's self. Build community. Find fulfillment. May it be so!
