I Am Ness
I work for collective remembrance, liberation and life – the restoration of bodies, hearts, minds, communities, watersheds, territories, nations, and the true sovereignty of each. This website is an intersection of my art and service, where my passion and purpose meet through devotion, expression, and action.All resources and offerings you may find here align themselves with the incredible self-healing power & spiral dance of Nature & Spirit.
From Indo-European roots of the word itself, healing means to become whole. Whether that applies to a watershed or a family, to a human body or the soil, the wholeness of both inner & outer ecosystems cannot be separated from the integrity of the relationships that hold us together in a particular weaving, place or body. Life is profoundly resilient and intelligent, and we are that; our bodies and spirits know their way to wholeness just as the water knows its way from mountain springs to rivers’ ends, and back again.
Thus, I am here to help others unlearn the dissociative modern paradigms that contribute to social fragmentation, isolation, and alienation from self and others. I am here to help others remember nature’s self-healing power in themselves so as to reclaim our sovereignty as individuals, peoples, and cells of a greater living body. As we align ourselves to the laws and principles of Nature, we re-enter into direct participation and relationship to Life as it is expressed through our bodies, hearts, communities, and territories.
I am here to help you free yourself and others,
to break your attachments to comfort, convenience, and quick fixes,
to get back to the real sources of nourishment on all levels,
to embrace transformation and soul purpose,
to cultivate your contribution to Life as a healthy cell,
to live joyfully and to be well.
My approach is integral, holistic, lifestyle- and relationship-oriented. Vitality and balance are cultivated through balance within all of our bodies (physical, mental, emotional, energetic) and with care for all our relations. That includes our relationships to ourselves & each other, to our food, soil, cultures, lineages, and the stories that hold us (hostage, in some cases).
Through a blend of Indigenous & Western science, holistic nutrition and regenerative detoxification, plant ally-ship, dialogue, and prayer, I create containers and bridges for deep and sustainable transformation.
I take inspiration from the arts & sciences of permaculture & soil regeneration, the body & lands that hold me, ancestral wisdom, song & dance, grief & praise, and all of the roots, shoots, fruits, flowers, & hearts that have nourished me along the way.
I give thanks to all the lineages, elders, friends and family who have helped foster and raise me into a vibration of love – an authentic expression of heritage, place, service, sovereignty and memory – and who continue to hold me accountable to these gifts of Life today.
We are the living Waters.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for…

EDUCATION
Offerings for Regeneration
I offer a 22-day detox challenge for each season with beginner and intermediate variations. This is a brief yet thorough introduction to the key principles and applications of holistic detox, implemented with respect to the changing demands and rhythms of the Earth’s seasons. Learn the basics of self-regeneration and relating to food as medicine in this guided container.
Current Service Offerings
Holistic Detox: Food as Medicine
As a Holistic Health Guide, I specialize in regenerative detoxification & whole-systems healing, focusing primarily on the body. I use therapeutic diets, herbal protocols, re-framing techniques and lifestyle recommendations to help my clients reach their health goals. Consultations and fasting protocols can offer short-term resets with proven tools, while educational offerings and customized transformative journeys help to build long-term foundations for health- and self-sovereignty.
As a teacher & facilitator, I offer containers for community connection and education in the form of group courses, live workshops, and in-person events.
Community Hygiene
As a Community “Hygienist” & Rites of Passage Specialist, I offer consultations with individuals and communities and help co-create containers, ceremonies, and place-based processes of transformation, transition, and cultural regeneration. This work is about caring for Life & Death, tending the heart(h) fire, building community resilience, opening to our grief & joy, and offering our service to Life & the seventh generation coming. The following are key areas of philosophical orientation and program design.
✷ Community-based Rites of Passage

• youth, family, and community empowerment
• intergenerational exchange, pyramid mentoring
• community centering and collaboration around youth, land, water
• cultivation of new possibilities, careers and life paths
• solidarity and gift economies, cooperative development
✷ Indigenous Science & Place-based Knowledge
• ancestral tools for ecological and social balance
• multidimensional, holistic models for communication & education
• right relationship & reciprocity with land

• planting seeds for sovereignty
• cross-cultural pollination, diplomacy & peacemaking
✷ Community Revitalization & Cultural Regeneration
• stewardship of Life, self and one-an-other
• tending to death, grief, and intergenerational healing in family & community
• collaborate, creative ceremonial containers for major rites of life & death
• storytelling, song, dance, grief, celebration, ceremony
• joyful interdependence & co-creation
Soul Midwifery
One of my specialties is designing containers, rituals, and gatherings for others to pass through major life thresholds with greater ease, wisdom, and connection. That may look like a personal healing journey from rupture to renewal through the art of radical self-regeneration… or it could mean the holding of yourself or a loved one who is preparing to physically depart this world. Both involve death and rebirth, a threshold that holds the potential for deep healing and profound liberation.
When we create containers to honor and facilitate these major transitions as both individuals and families/communities, we are able to metabolize grief and strengthen our relationships in a way that supports and serves the fullness and continuation of Life. In this way, individual and collective crises become gifts of grace and renewal for all… if we choose to accept the sacred invitation and rise to the occasion, that is!
Healing is not linear… it is a spiral.
A dynamic, multidimensional journey of perpetually seeking Balance and returning, again and again,
to our Center.
