Shamanic Bodywork
for transforming
pain into peace
For people who suffer from acute or chronic pain, physical or emotional trauma, stress of daily living, lymphatic stagnation, or a general feeling of powerlessness.
I don't know your story yet. But I would like to.
I work with people who are suffering from all sorts of pain. I take a shamanic approach to pain because I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
By listening to the messages of your whole being, I can get a clearer picture of the work that needs to be done.
Once you plant the seed of intention, commit to the work, peace will follow.
Let's get started.

Healing begins when we stop arguing with the past.
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the wisdom that guides our inner knowing. The practice of shamanism is about honing skills of communication with the animate world around us.
Therese has been trained in the techniques of Core Shamanism, a western interpretation of ancient shamanism, researched an written by the renowned anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner Ph.D.
Dr. Harner subsequently went on to create the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, a non-profit public Charitable and Educational Organization, in California, dedicated to the study, teaching, and preservation of shamanic knowledge throughout the World.
In addition to these studies, Therese has done much personal work in the fields of astrology, dream interpretation, sound healing, Reiki and other biofield energy medicine techniques.
By combining western massage therapy techniques with the ancient spiritual art form of shamanism we can work on multiple layers of an issue all at once.
The basis of my work is communication and consent.

These real-life experiences highlight the positive impact of my personalized treatments and the dedication I invest in my craft. I do not pay my clients for reviews.
"Therese has magic hands. She's so skilled in her practice and really listens to your body and what it needs. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and keeps educating herself in different modalities and is willing to share that knowledge, she's your girl. She approaches each session with an open mind and heart. My body has benefited from her services and I'm grateful for having her nearby! If you are hesitant to try, this is your sign to give it a go ☺️. 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you, Therese for everything you do for our community."
"The healing I have experienced with Therese at Harvest of Peace has transformed my life. I have suffered with pain in my neck and tinnitus, she has helped me receive some relieve on both issues. Through virtual reiki and tunning fork work, the results are noticeable and have come at a time when I really needed it, thank you!!."
"It's hard to put into words how I feel after my very first craniosacral therapy session. Having had a bad massage experience years ago, I was apprehensive. Theresa reassured me that this was totally different. To say I was skeptical, after she demonstrated the light touch, would be an understatement honestly. I was awkward and self-conscious, but I was quickly put at ease and began to relax. Despite my skepticism, I began to feel changes that seemed unexplainable. I felt tension release, I felt points of pain I had just gotten used to release for the first time in years, I felt areas loosen and almost stretch (while never moving), and even teared up for some crazy reason (releasing emotional trauma apparently). I am a believer, will be going back, and can't recommend Theresa highly enough. She's sweet and totally put me at ease. Worth it.."
