Offerings
What is your spirit asking?
Initial Consultation
Let's connect and get to know each other! Our initial session is meant to create the foundation for our longer term or future work together, and to help me understand you as an individual, so I can craft my offerings to suit your needs. We will spend time discussing your background and history, as well as your specific needs and goals. This time together will help us both decide if working together would be a mutual fit.

GemSona Insights
Whether you're creating a crystal grid, choosing the right pocket stone or using a pendulum for Divination; Heritage Soul Gemsona Insights covers everything from two-stone and three-stone readings to open-ended stone castings and gemstone oracle readings. This offering will help you call in the Divine guidance that is needed from time to time to enhance your Universal energy & personal development with Earth's sacred offerings.
GemSona Elevation
Heritage Soul Gemsona Elevation sessions are safe and effective alternative healing modalities that use natural gemstones and healing touch properties. One or both can be applied in simple ways ideal for everyday wellness, or for specific occasions. We will discuss and apply alternative healing techniques that involve placing gemstones on the body to draw out negative energy, heal or support various ailments, and more. Our sessions are always tailored to your needs- whether that is to help energize the body and mind, minimize stress and free blocked emotions, to attract positive energy, or just get a bit of peaceful rest.
Sound Healing & Attunement
Everything has its own frequency including the human body. Different waves and frequencies stimulate various parts of the body because Sound, Light, and Color is who we are. If a being is under intense pressure or stress, energy constrictions or blockages are created, that lower vibrations and invite imbalance into our beings.
Sound Attunement or Sound Healing is a form of energy work that uses vibration to break up and release blockages in your mind and body. Healing with sound is a great way to create the necessary safe and powerful space to allow the body and mind to release, process, and heal. The power of Sound Healing has been used and studied throughout the world by many civilizations and cultures to align the human body and bring it back to or maintain optimal wellness. Through the use of clapping, drumming, tuning forks, chanting, toning, gongs, didgeridoo instruments as well as soothing meditation music and dance, sound vibrations are created that allows you to first experience whatever feelings may arise, and then to process and release those emotions and thoughts for a healthier and clearer state of being.
No two sessions will be the same because the songs are not scripted; instead of set patterns of notes or songs, the sounds played are in a call and response fashion with your inner knowing, meant to move you to action or peace.
Elemental Centering
With Elemental Centering, you have the opportunity to reclaim natural health and vitality to assist in achieving a state of balance in your life.
Elemental centering is a great tool for going into a serious working space or mindframe, before starting a new journey, or ending an old one. This is also wonderful way to clear your mind, body, and spirit after a stressful or overstimulating day. This cleansing and purification ritual is also fantastic for spaces! Particularly for new or unfamiliar spaces, including homes or businesses, it helps to set the tone for whatever purpose you have in mind. It also works well for spaces that might have residual gunky energy in them for whatever reason, that you want to clear out before you take up space in that area.
Candlelight Service
Candles are known for their soothing and healing properties, as fire is considered as a destroyer or transformer of negativity. It has been the carrier of light and positive energy on a physical as well as spiritual level. Candlelight services with Heritage Soul focuses on harnessing the energies of fire, light and transformation to assist maintaining the mind, body & soul, and creating a space of positive energy. Candle therapy can effectively be used for intention setting and achieving goals in any area of one’s life.
Inu Sisun
The term 'inu sisun' is from the Yoruba language, meaning "steaming inside". It is a more gender inclusive alternative to 'yoni steaming' as this practice can be used by persons of any gender or anatomy. Steaming and gentle massage of the ibadi (pelvic) region is important in taking back ownership of our personal health and utilizing our intuition as well as herbs from the Earth, to support and nourish our overall well-being. This steaming treatment helps to enhance the health by assisting the functions of all the organs. It warms the core and encourages healthy circulation, enhances reproductive health, and stimulates the lymphatic system for healthy elimination of toxins. Inu sisun can also be used to restore balance and clear away stagnation of the mind and soul.
Breathwork & Relaxation Training
There are many forms of breathwork therapy that involve breathing in a conscious and systematic way. Many people find that breathwork promotes deep relaxation or leaves them feeling energized.
People often perform breathwork exercises to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. These simple yet important exercises can bring improvements to ones emotional state and decrease levels of stress, help process emotions, heal emotional pain and trauma, alleviate the emotional effects of illness and grief, and help with clarity or focus.
Meal Medicine
Food is one of the most important parts of everyday life in all nations of the world, regardless of culture or religion. Not only does it provide nutrients for all functions of the body, it can also unite and strengthen community bonds and helps to create or maintain a common identity among a group of people.
Together, we will discuss your background and history, as well as your specific needs (allergies and medical needs) and goals. Whether you need a tasty post-op casserole, a week of meals delivered while you grieve, or a month of fresh smoothies in the morning, our sessions will always be based on your individual needs and goals, and are often followed up with individualized resources, snacks and recipes.

Lunaception
Lunaception is a natural fertility tracking and contraception method that helps regulate hormones and menses, track ovulation and act as a natural contraceptive without resorting to pharmaceuticals or chemical spermicides. This time tested method works by syncing the active reproductive cycle with the phases of the moon. Holistic medicine is a broad range of practices based on generations of tradition, and the use of the moon for tracking time and cycles is about as far back a tradition as time itself. In our time togrther you will learn to detect and record your natural cycles while becoming more knowledgeable about natural rhythms, symbiosis, and more.
Gender Support & Transition Care
Working one-on-one with me as your gender doula will look different for each client- our work together can include gender exploration, trouble-shooting difficult family, work or social situations, assisted personal shopping, rituals, trying on different names or pronouns, guided meditations/breathing exercises, surgery prep or after care, and more.
By drawing from my own experiences of living at the intersections of multiple disempowered identities, I can uniquely engage trans and gender expansive folks in communal healing and whole person wellness works. Together, we can continue the work of fostering relationships and systems that make thriving outside of patriarchy and colonialism possible.
Alternative Conception & (In)Fertility Support
As your fertility doula I will accompany you on your parenthood journey by sharing non-judgmental informational, emotional, and physical support during preconception or (in)fertility. I will bring a host of tools to support clients in their journey that include a mind/body approach to complement any treatments you may receive and also provide you with emotional tools that can help you navigate the experience with less stress. Working with a fertility doula can look as simple as discussing evidence-based information on tracking and charting fertility, having help to navigate options for medication and reproductive technology, holistic resources to support optimal fertility, or having a safe space to express your concerns and wishes without the pressures that can come from others.
Perinatal Support
My passion as a doula is working together to help foster strong Black and Brown communities through diversity and inclusion education, providing Earth- based, spiritually charged, and culturally competent care and enrichment services to LBGTQ+ families. I consider it an honor to be included in such a powerful and precious moment in life. As a birthkeeper and parent, I know how important authenticity and vulnerability are in the birthing space, so I am very intentional on being flexible during the process, and adding only the best energy to your experience.
By drawing from my own experiences of living at the intersections of multiple disempowered identities, I can uniquely engage families in self advocacy, easing stress and helping to create and carry out plans of action. I am no stranger to calling out and examining unfairness and discrimination- I'm prepared and experienced in helping parents find their voices in self advocacy and helping to protect them when its needed the most.
Birth Photography
My photography style is very natural, realistic, and comfortable. No poses needed. I believe that the body is one of the most beautiful things in the world, and I believe that being natural and real in front of the camera is possible for everyone. Still, I will adjust every photo to your taste and modesty, which we can discuss before your session. My goal is to simply capture the essence of your birth story. I consider it an honor to be included in such a powerful and precious moment in life, and a privilege to make sure your family can hold onto mementos of that day for years to come.
I have two packages available in which I provide fully edited digital copies + original photos on CD or USB and a complete print release form. Images can be delivered to you by mail, in-person, or pick-up, whichever is easier for you:
A: I come after labor becomes active. This way I can document your whole birth story, the environment, and the loving care of your support person(s). I will stay through delivery and make sure to capture all of the precious first moments of your baby’s life outside the womb. I will typically stay with you for the first half hour, or until you’re ready to be alone with your baby.
B: I arrive soon after delivery. I will capture all the tender first greetings as the baby meets everyone present at the birth, family or pets for two hours, or until you’re ready to be alone with your baby. This is great for parents who aren’t comfortable with birth photography, or had a baby come quicker than expected but still want to record their baby’s first moments.
