Shaenalach
(traditionally spelt Tenalach, pronounced Shaenalach)
is one of 5 untranslatable words about nature.
It is a word used in the hills and mountains of west Ireland, and reflects the relationship one has with The *Earth
and her elements:
air * fire * water *
It is a deep and sacred connection that all living things share with each other and Mother Earth.
In the common tongue, Tenalach/Tenlach was the Old Irish word for hearth/fireplace.
It also refers to the household: those who share the hearth/fireplace.
I am honoured and grateful to welcome you into this sacred and informative space.
My prayer is that you find what you seek.
Love Light and Shadow.

How I got here ~My own active healing journey, from childhood trauma, which brought me into a trauma response of self harm; has taught me that the Rhythms of Nature & The Earth offers us guidance, insight and possibilities for our human experience. Within this way of life I heard a call from my ancestors to ignite this space:
Shaenalach Healing & Retreats: A place to Listen, Learn and Heal. I answered that call with a trepidations, AND resounding YES! I live on the edge of The Wild in British Columbia, Canada. I am an Elder, Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Auntie, Friend who is learning to live with her willing and open heart. I walk the path of Earth Medicine, working with the Compassionate Spirits who bring guidance and healing to myself, and those who sit with me. My passion is in creating and holding healing space, and coming alongside those who are searching for their own answers, their own connection to Life, Love, The Great Mystery, and them-Selves. Please note: My services are an enhancement for clinical/cognitive treatments in which the spiritual, as you know/discover it, becomes a part the healing journey. |

"I choose to walk alongside The Sacred, the Mystery, The Magic.

“All illnesses, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, stem from an illness of Spirit. It may be due to soul loss, psychic intrusions, ancestral karma, or any other spiritual causes that could be contributing to the manifest condition for which you seek help. Whatever other methodologies or remedies you pursue, whether allopathic, alternative, or a combination, let the healing of your spirit be your priority. Know that the deepest spiritual wound is the illusion of being separate from Source, God, Great Spirit, or whatever name you give the Creator.
It is the trick of the mind that creates this sense of separation. "
