I didn’t come to this path through a single training or title.

I came through lived experience — through listening, through loss and integration, and through time spent in relationship with the Earth.

 

What guides me has been shaped by lineage, by a lifelong relationship with the natural world, and by teachings received slowly through elders, ceremony, and the land itself. Some of this came through formal study; much of it came through presence and time. These ways inform how I listen, how I gather, and how I hold space.

 

I’m a holistic registered nurse by profession, and that foundation continues to ground how I show up — with attention to the nervous system, to safety, and to what it means to feel supported in the body. Over time, this path expanded beyond clinical settings into intuitive guidance and sacred space holding, not as a method, but as a way of being with people.

 

Loana Healing grew from this place. The name Loana came to me in a vision, with the “O” representing the sacred hoop — the circle and the remembering that happens when we gather in relationship with one another and the Earth.

 

Today, Loana Healing lives primarily in circles and gatherings — cacao and tea ceremonies, workshops, and seasonal retreats. What lights me up is holding the container and allowing what wants to unfold to do so naturally. At its heart, Loana Healing is an invitation — to slow down, to listen inwardly, and to return to what has always been there.
