As a trauma-informed somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, and shamanic practitioner, Ariana brings a grounded, gentle, and compassionate approach to supporting her clients in their healing journeys. She uses breathwork, somatic healing, drumming, and sacred psychoactive plants to help her clients rekindle their connections to Self and the land.
