My Services
Four offerings, one practitioner, and the same promise behind every session: real training, careful attention, and plainspoken honesty about what I do and do not know.
Spiritual Companioning and Life Coaching
Someone to walk beside you through change, life, grief, and the big questions, with room for both the practical and the sacred.
“I know something has to change. I just don't know what, or how.”
“Everyone keeps giving me advice. I want help hearing my own.”
“I'm great at to do lists. I'm not great at knowing what I actually want.”
“I've outgrown the beliefs I was raised with, and I'm not sure what fits now.”
“I've been stuck in the same place for way too long.”

What is spiritual companioning?
Spiritual companioning is the practice of walking alongside someone through the parts of life that don't fit neatly into a plan: loss, endings, beginnings, and the questions that keep you up at night. I don't bring a religion or a script. I bring steady presence, honest listening, and a deep comfort with the conversations most people avoid, including death, dying, and what might come after.
Life coaching is the other half: more structured and action-oriented, helping you move toward something real. Together they make room for the whole of you - the grief and the grocery list, the sacred question and the next practical step.
I won't tell you what to do or what to believe. I'll ask the questions and hold the space that let you find your own answer, at your own pace.
What to Expect in Your Spiritual Companioning / Life Coaching Session
Name what's in front of you.
A loss, a transition, a question, or the place you keep getting stuck.
Come as you are.
Feeling tearful? numb? restless? That’s okay. There is no right way to show up.
What we can hold together
-
The death of a person or an animal companion, or the loss of a relationship, a home, a role, or a version of your life you expected to have. Grief has no timeline here, and you don't have to be “doing better” to come.
-
For when you are caring for someone who is dying, facing hard news in your family, or preparing to say goodbye to an aging pet. A place to speak what feels unspeakable, and to be present for the time that is left.
-
For when the faith or framework you grew up with no longer fits, or you are sensing something you don't have words for yet. You can explore without being steered toward any answer but your own.
-
A career change, a move, a relationship shift, retirement, or a chapter that is ending before the next one is clear. We name what matters, then find a next step you actually believe in.escription
Get underneath it.
We explore your values, fears, longings, memories, and what your body and spirit already seem to know through ritual or reflection.
Leave with something to hold.
Sometimes it’s a concrete next step. Sometimes it’s a small practice for the hard days.
Some days, it’s simply the relief of having been truly heard, and the option of ongoing care.
Companioning and coaching are not therapy, grief counseling, or mental health treatment. If what you are carrying calls for a licensed therapist or crisis support, I'll tell you honestly and help you find it.
Shamanic Journeying and Reiki
For when you have done all the thinking you can do, and you still don't have your answer.
“I keep going around in circles on the same decision.”
“I feel like I'm living from the neck up, disconnected from my own body.”
“Something big is changing, and I want to meet it with more than anxiety.”〰️
“I'm healing from something hard, and talking about it hasn't gotten me all the way there.”
“I'm trying to call something new into my life, and I need a little hope to do it.”

What is shamanic journeying?
Shamanic journeying is a practice of moving into a focused, dreamlike state of awareness to seek insight and guidance from beyond the thinking mind. Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy practice that supports rest, balance, and the body's own capacity to heal.
In a session, I carry your question with me, journey on your behalf, and share what I see, hear, and sense. I use Reiki to support integration and healing.
What to Expect
1) A brief intake
A quick form or conversation about who you are and what you are hoping to explore.
2) Setting intention
We name a question, a decision, or simply an openness to whatever wants to come.
3) The journey
I journey and offer Reiki, noting the images, messages, and sensations as they arrive.
4) Meaning-making
I share everything that came through. You are the expert on your life, so the meaning is ours to find together.
Every session is recorded, so you can return to it whenever you need.
Animal Communication
Give your animal a voice, and give yourself a way to hear it.
“I just wish I knew what was going on in her head.”
“He's been acting different lately, and I can't figure out why.”
“We brought home a new pet, and the whole house has been tense ever since.”
“I have a hard decision to make about her care, and I want her to have a say.”
“He's gone, and there are still things I want him to know.”

What is animal communication?
Animal communication is an intuitive, two-way conversation with your companion. Animals don't think the way we do - what they share usually arrives as images, feelings, or sensations in my own body rather than words. My job is to translate it faithfully, including the parts that surprise us both.
Sessions can help you understand what your animal needs, ease tension at home, notice when something might be bothering them, and find comfort and connection during grief or a big decision, even after a pet has passed. Every session is treated as sacred.
What to Expect
2) Making a connection
I connect with your animal in person in their own space, live by phone, or on my own for a recording.
1) A 10-15 minute phone intake
You choose 1 to 3 questions you most want to ask.
“I have gotten several readings from Mars both for fur babies that are are still in the physical world and those that have passed on. Mars has such a gentle and compassionate way of connecting with the animals and relaying messages about their experience both physical and emotional. She has been able to pick up and confirm physical discomfort that has come up at the vet and provided healing that greatly improved my pets mood and overall well-being. I have found so much comfort and reassurance from the messages she has shared and would definitely recommend Mars!”
3) Interpretation
I share what comes through exactly as it arrives, even when it doesn't make sense to me yet.
4) Putting it all together
Process what might be possible with new information and insights.
I am not a veterinarian and I do not offer medical advice. If something comes through that hints at pain or illness, I'll tell you and encourage you to follow up with your vet. I'm glad to work alongside vets, farriers, trainers, and other providers as part of your companion's care.
Energetic Home Cleansing
Clear what came before, and make room for what's next.
“We just moved in, and it still feels like someone else's house.”
“Ever since the breakup, I can't relax in my own living room.”
“We're getting ready to sell, and I want to leave this place well.”
“Someone we loved passed away here, and we want to honor that and let the house breathe again.”
“Everyone in this house, the pets included, has been on edge lately.”

What is home cleansing?
A home cleansing is a ritual reset for a physical space. Using Reiki, chanting, sage, and ritual, I clear stale or heavy energy, wash off what doesn't serve at the thresholds, and fill the space with protection and welcome. Cleanses can be in-person or performed remotely.
The goal is a home that feels peaceful, healing, and inviting for everyone who lives there, human and animal alike.
What to Expect
1) Tell me about the home
We talk about what’s prompting the cleansing, and who lives in the space.
2) Walk the space
I move through your home room by room, paying special attention to thresholds.
3) Ritual cleansing
I recommend and perform a customized ritual cleansing.
4) A fresh start
We close by naming an intention and hope for your home and those who live there.
FAQ
-
No. Curiosity is plenty. I don't claim to know exactly how this work works either. I only know that it does, and I'll never ask you to take anything on faith that doesn't feel true to you.
-
Some sessions are quieter than others. When that happens, I'll tell you plainly rather than fill the silence with something that just sounds good. Honesty matters more to me than a performance.
-
No. Reiki and energy work support healing, but they are not curative and not medical treatment. I'm not a substitute for your doctor, therapist, or veterinarian, and I'm happy to work alongside them.
-
Go with the one whose “you've been saying” list sounded most like you. If you're still unsure, book the free 15 minute orientation call and we'll figure it out together.
-
Reach out through the contact page and we'll find a time that works. Sessions are paid in full at booking.
I offer three flexible formats to fit your life and lifestyle:
Live (in person)
We are in the same room, or the same barn, or the same home. Best for animals who like to work in their own space and for anyone who wants the full experience. Travel is added to the session price.
Live (remote)
A real time session by phone or Zoom. The work doesn't depend on distance, so you get the same connection from wherever you are.
Recorded
I do the work on my own and email you a recording. Ideal for full schedules, faraway clients, or anyone who processes better alone. You can add a follow up conversation afterward.
