Rowan Root Holistic Works

I'll be impatiently waiting for this delivery over the weekend! Excited to add this to my ever-expanding healing toolkit.

I play background music that has different Hz levels in it that work with lowering stress, anxiety, and helping to focus when I do in-person healing (and just when I need wordless music during my every day comings and goings), so it'll be interesting to see how these will be integrated. Sound healing is an interesting field to dig around in and it has so many beneficial aspects.

Chakra balancing and resonance work with these should be interesting!

This time of year, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) starts rearing its ugly head. It's important that we try to find "little wins" that work best for us and our situations - not everything is going to be the perfect fit for every person.

It was around this time last year that I reached out for help because I realized I was getting swamped by wave after wave and needed a life raft to keep me afloat. Vitamin D supplements and trying to find any available stray sun beam throughout my day like a lazy housecat seems to be the right combination for me.

Feel free to reach out if you need any advice or need an ear to listen. I'm always available.

My birthday is February 13th and using the Celtic zodiac, that’d make me…a Rowan!

Well, if that isn’t just the most interesting discovery of my whole day…

It’s been a minute, huh?

This page was my first foray into the world of holistic healing and energy work, as Spark Awaken. It fit my feelings and vibe at the time, like the ignition point of a much bigger vision that I was starting to see and build around.

I took some time away from this aspect of my life to focus on cases of the paranormal and High Strangeness and that fulfilled a large part of what I felt was missing. The entire time, the healing work kept poking and nudging and asking “hey, so…when are we getting the band back together?” And I never had a concrete answer.

Spending time with my shamanic family, learning and observing their paths through this world, talking with every open ear and mind, telling everyone “I’m pretty great at wearing two hats at once,” seemed like enough! Healing work comes naturally to me so why press the issue?! I can go hunt ghosts and cryptids and do a quick energy fix at the same time!

It wasn’t until an experience visiting the stables where my aunt’s horse lives and meeting him and all of his compatriots (along with the resident horse groom ghost) that I realized how deeply and desperately I missed this very part of my life. I am now the proud owner of a horse acupressure manual and I think I’ve effectively tanked my Amazon algorithm entirely.

So I come back to you all, hat in hand, to say “long time, no see!” I’ve done a bit of a rebrand over the past couple of weeks, needing a way to blend what I’ve learned and what feels right in my bones. Rowan Root Holistic Works is exactly that.

The rowan tree’s spiritual meaning centers on protection, insight, wisdom, courage, and resilience. The tree acts as a connection to the Spirit World. The tree wards off negative energy. It is sacred in both Celtic and Nordic mythologies, something I have come to treasure and adopt in my healing practice.

I am deepening my knowledge of both energy and shamanic healing by expanding into working with horses AND humans. I can tell that other four- and two-legged creatures will be joining the mix eventually, but my focus at the moment is the connection between horses and their humans.

If you’ve made it this far, I appreciate you in so many ways. I’m excited and nervous and terrified and eager for this return. So please stay tuned, please hang around because the best is yet to come.
