Modern Science Joining with Ancestral Wisdom
I have experienced the challenge in finding a supportive guide…someone who is a good fit, shares similar values, and understands my needs culturally…
Although I had curiosity in many healing approaches, including medicine from my own lineage, I didn’t always understand the way things were taught and felt left out of many communities. It was often a binary choice: this or that, but never an option for both or all.
But slowly I was guided in ways to embody both the therapeutic and the intuitive components of healing in one supportive place.
Journeying Together
In any capacity you wish to work together, the same commitment to values of intentionality, relationship, and wholeness is given. For some, that may be through a somatic (body-centered) 1:1 therapeutic experience, and for others that may be through community healing circles. However you are looking for support, Mar y Sol is dedicated to guiding you towards feeling seen, connected, whole, and free in whatever way feels the most comfortable to you.
MAR
Water carries within it, the stories of our ancestors & of Creation, the movement and fluidity in health, and healing. Water is a necessity to sustain life, and offers the tenderness of still water, and the power of towering waves.
Offerings under Mar are rooted in the sacredness of witnessing, support of others that hold healing spaces, and transformation of community.

SOL
The energy contained in the Sun allows us to distinguish day from night, receive light and warmth and is often compared to the element of fire. Fire refines, and has the ability to shed outer layers which reveal the truest essence at the core. Fire can give a fresh start, from what once felt devastating and desolate.
Offerings under Sol tend to have a sharper focus on the healing component that occurs when light is applied to a challenging circumstance, stress, or trauma.

Every practitioner brings their own values and perspectives to their work, and sometimes it helps to know if our values are similar to see if we might be a good fit to work together. I primarily work with people who hold identities that have been or are actively marginalized such as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and those having different physical & emotional abilities. I specialize in trauma work, that brings a body-centered and nervous system approach, rather than focusing exclusively on our thoughts (like CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My work is integrative in nature, meaning that we will explore all roles and responsibilities that reside in your being (intersectionality), and look to see how all of those experiences come together in one human being, uniquely and perfectly you. I welcome in your beliefs regarding spirituality and religion, your relationship with nature and Creation, as well as cultural practices, ritual, ceremony etc. All these things are an important part of who we are, and together form a more clear picture of the complex and uniquely distinct person that you are.

It is my intention to be transparent about pricing, so you can make an informed decision in your care or engagement of offerings available. Pricing is very carefully decided upon based on consideration for the energy and effort required of me to ensure you have an incredible experience, no matter how we work together. Fee is discussed during the connection call, but a general guideline is as follows:
Individual Therapy: $250+
Group Healing: $45+
Supervision: $200+
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to inquire.

I have made an intentional choice to not invite insurance into the treatment, care, and decision making of how YOU choose to receive support and healing. Unfortunately, insurance companies make decisions based on the bottom line ($), and have arbitrary guidelines which have nothing to do with the unique individual I sacredly support according to their own needs and self-determination. The oppressive framework of health gatekeeping is not something I can change on my own (I personally also have medical insurance and pay out of pocket for most medical, mental health, and holistic services that I value and my insurance company does not). I have made the conscious choice to do my part in remaining within my values to the best of my ability by offering a variety of financially accessible opportunities–even low-fee and no-fee offerings when possible.

Fees are established after carefully considering the energy required of me to care appropriately for you, and in the way you wish to be supported. As stated above, my general guidelines for fee are
Individual Therapy: $250+Group Healing: $45+
Supervision: $200+
If a lower fee is a requisite for receiving the care you need, I invite you to ask for the specific amount you need to make it work, and I will consider your request. Asking for a sliding scale fee because you are trying to pay the least amount possible is not a practice I engage in. However, working through and embodying where you’re at in terms of awareness of your finances and your need for healing is something I hold sacred & tender space for. -
