ANNA MAE BEYER
“I am a Trauma Informed RYT500 + Embodied Presence Guide, with an additional 100+ hours of advanced study in Yin (Taoist) Yoga, Qigong & Ancient Chinese Medicine. Originally trained in Opera/Classical Voice, I continue to share my deep passion for healing music & the vocal arts through Transformational Sound Baths, Alchemical Songwriting, and my work as a Vocal Embodiment Coach. As a facilitator, my goal is to create an empowering environment for clients to “come home”. To the feeling sensation + pure presence of the body. To the alchemical + expressive magic of the voice. And the deep wisdom + calling of Anahata “the unstruck sound” within the temple of the heart.”

HEIDI BRUCE
Sensing human, woman, daughter, mother. Born and raised trilingually in Alaska, I am a lover of languages and the ways in which words weave their way through the interiors of a soul. Through my vocation as a social worker and conflict transformation practitioner, I work alongside and on behalf of marginalized peoples and issues, ever committed to the art of unearthing the roots of suffering and bridging divides. The Empowered Heart serves as a powerful lens and compass in my personal and professional unfolding.

KATIE KITTLE
“I’m passionate about offering others an opportunity to access freedom in the body, heart, and mind. Through breath, touch, and movement, we can connect to the body’s innate wisdom and move through old thoughts and patterns. I am curious about exploring the relationship between the inner and outer human landscapes and deepening the mind-body connection. I am a somatic breathwork™️ practitioner and licensed massage therapist (specialized in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi) with a B.S. in kinesiology. I am also involved with the nonspeaking autistic community and enjoy supporting in communication and regulation with spellers.“

TARYN KULURIS
“I am a plant alchemist, holistic chef, wordsmith, empath & artist, guided by a fierce belief in radical healing and earth medicine. The Empowered Heart methodology has been a profound catalyst in my life, helping me to transmute the world of pain & suffering I experienced through addiction, and to walk a more honest and compassionate path. The immense gratitude I carry inspires me to support and continue this lineage of healing through one-on-one counsel work, group processing (such as the Beyond Alcohol healing collective), and soon-to-come experiential journeys. While I have extensive personal experience in healing from alcohol addiction and bulimia, I also support plant-medicine integration work and have the capacity to explore a wide range of experiences and inquiries.”

TANYA LaRIVA
“Much of my life has been molded by both trauma and peak experiences becoming pillars in the temple of the person I find myself to be. They shape me and guide my path. I look forward to completing my education in clinical counseling in the coming years. It's been an honor to be trusted by the plant medicines to be a steward for growth and healing. I feel deep gratitude for the Empowered heart work to be divinely present, to be in the presence of the miracle and to be the miracle of the present.”

CAT McCORMACK
“Through my career as a School Psychologist, I offer seasoned skills in group collaboration, community organization, counseling and facilitation. I believe that breakthroughs emerge by listening with presence, holding space for deep truths, courageously voicing needs and freely expressing gratitude. I enjoy sharing guided meditations and ceremonial prayer, as these practices play an important role in my own empowerment journey. I am passionate about co-creating brave, inclusive environments where authentic connection and conscious love fosters healing and spiritual growth.”

BRIDGET MEYER
“I LOVE PEOPLE and find great pleasure in supporting them. Sadly, most people have experienced trauma that is affecting their life in negative ways they may be unaware of. Through deep listening, unbiased neutrality, and reflection, I will support you in healing the wounds you carry so that you may achieve your dreams. I ask the question, “what is holding you back from living your 10 out of 10 life”—and much is revealed. I am a natural networker and problem solver and this is a helpful tool in my work with people. I have enthusiasm and passion for life that is contagious. I want to see the world become a safer, healthier place, where all beings and nature can thrive. Thank you. I love you, already.”

KYMBRE SHINGARA
“I started out my career offering personal training and holistic health coaching, while freeing myself from a mood stabilizing medication I had taken since being a teen. After getting married and having my son, my internal struggles led me to Embodied Mentorship, which taught me how to connect with my feelings in a way that empowered me to be the parent and spouse I knew I could be. In search to find true freedom from what had developed into dependency with cannabis, and to find more confidence as a facilitator of self healing, I dove in with the Empowered Heart methodology. Now, I am experiencing a beautiful sense of freedom, and continue to be wildly passionate about helping people who are seeking holistic support for their mental and physical wellbeing through Embodiment.”

SARAH WHITRIDGE
“Mother, Minister, Mentor, Intuitive Astrologer, Qoya movement leader & storyteller. Born and raised in the South West of England and Ireland with time spent on mainland Europe, I kept moving west, first to Maine in the USA and now on the islands of the Pacific Northwest. In this phase of life I am focused on consciously raising two boys and cultivating an intentional life with reverence to the natural world. I train in the modalities that have enabled my continual healing and equally find value in the study of my own intuition. The Empowered Heart work weaves through all my connections and relationships. My commitment is to lovingly walk alongside others as a witness, guide or channel by encouraging their individuality, authenticity and human-ness to lead them to self-heal. I love people and love to create with others through storytelling, ritual, movement and singing.”
