About Aileen
Aileen is a healer who uses the modalities of breathwork, reiki, yoga and space cleansing. She is also a student learning to be human through plant medicines. As the business owner of Unearthed, she believes in a vision of combining healing with wellness and bringing these modalities to individuals in their own home, in person, or over Zoom. Her specialty is being educated on energy centers in the body, referred to as chakras, in order to interpret what the body, mind and spirit is trying to communicate to us. She helps individuals create a healthy relationship within themselves to then attract only healthy relationships in their life. She reminds her students that a healthy relationship does not mean we will not be triggered.
About Mike
Michael started his spiritual journey four years ago. He has worked with countless modalities including Vipassana meditation; sitting for over 250 hours in silent reflection. He has studied many spiritual texts, works with a variety of plant medicines and continues to expand his tool belt. Through the path of self discovery and healing, it became clear that he was meant to help others in this lifetime. This calling was clear through journeying in Ayahuasca, breathwork and Peyote, to becoming a full embodiment of a light warrior. With a combination of perspectives, approaches, medicines and modalities, his goal is to create the deepest possible container for a person to dive within themselves and remember who they truly are. To effortlessly ride the wave of life and begin to understand the true nature beneath the self.
