Where Somatic Healing, Ancestral Connection and Earth Wisdom meet.
About Sacred Soil & Soul
I’m Gabby O’Neill-Donahue, founder of Sacred Soil & Soul, LSW, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, RYT, Shamanic Reiki Practitioner and Usui Fire Reiki Master. Before creating Sacred Soil & Soul I started exploring my own personal healing journey of reconnection to self, ancestry and the earth. During this time I was introduced to holistic healing through yoga, meditation and energy healing. Even though I loved the benefits of these practices, I wasn’t quite ready to integrate them into my everyday life.
After a few years of soul searching, I felt drawn to work in private practice as a psychotherapist. During this time I continued to expand my knowledge of holistic healing through: Yoga, Meditation, Energy Healing, Fascial Unwinding, Trauma Releasing Exercise (TRE), Ancestral Connection, and Animist Psychology; all through a trauma informed lens. Through this blend of Evidenced-Based Practices, Energetic & Spiritual healing, and Earth Wisdom, Sacred Soil & Soul LLC was born.
During my time in private practice, I learned how difficult financial hardship can be and the gaps this creates for clients. Sacred Soil & Soul’s mission is to support clients to experience embodied healing by tending to their body’s sacred soil through: Somatic Healing, Ancestral Connection and Earth Wisdom; all through accessible care — ensuring transformative growth remains affordable for every soul.
Sacred Soil & Soul was born out of a deep love of supporting others through healing reconnection — to oneself, ancestry and the earth. If you feel drawn to experience deeply embodied holistic healing, then join me. I look forward to supporting you on your personal healing journey!
