Healing Sessions

Emotional, Energetic & Spiritual Support for Whole Body Healing

Nurturing support and care for wherever you are in your health journey, consciousness evolution, self actualization, or personal transformation. If you are seeking depth and perspective to nourish your body, mind, soul, and spirit, these healing sessions are intuitively designed for you.

  • Sessions are offered online or at Grandmother Cherry Sanctuary in Plainfield, Vermont by EmpowR founder and healing arts practitioner, Rae Carter.
  • Sessions at the Sanctuary include optional solo reflection time in nature–plan to arrive early or stay late if you choose.
  • Each session is crafted to meet you where you are at, with radical empathy and trauma informed and transformed practices for the complexity, intensity, and overwhelm you may be facing.
  • Sessions relate how your personal wellness path includes shifting perspectives, patterns, and behaviors that influence collective healing and liberation. Individual healing impacts the healing of society and we all hold responsibility to heal our wounds and create the conditions where healing, belonging, and being our whole, authentic selves is normalized.

All healing sessions strengthen your ability to cultivate relationship with your body, intuition, and the rhythms and cycles of nature. The intention is for you to build skills and knowledge through embodied experiences and to deepen your capacity for emotional regulation so you can be more resourced to navigate the turbulence and beauty of The Great Turning.

Discounts and Pay-What-You-Can options available for all sessions. See details under Details below.

“In this era of social transformation, I’m learning new ways of seeing and thinking about the world every day. A session with Rae brought me a deeper level of understanding of and peace with shedding culturally engrained behaviors that create limits. Just one afternoon at the Sanctuary reminded me that there are so many different ways of knowing and experiencing life.”

~ L.C. – Burlington, Vermont

“Working with Rae challenged me to grant myself the permission I was seeking from others to finally listen to and trust my own intuition…I’m excited again to venture forward, knowing and trusting that my old patterns are no longer serving me, and it’s time to discover new ones.”

~ Nicole D., Berlin, Vermont
