The Terrain

Please note: For the remainder of 2026, Jamie is scheduling sessions with returning clients and former workshop participants. Scheduling for new clients will begin in January 2027. Planning for the 2027 retreat/workshop schedule is in progress.

My List

“How does one live a meaningful life?” I asked this question.

A song sparrow chipped at dusk, three times, and started me thinking about what it takes to know that out there in the creeping dark, it is he, Song Sparrow, without a doubt, I hear giving thanks for the pleasures of the day. So, I made a list of requirements. I’ll read it to you.

1. Notice that you are not alone in the world.

2. Become interested in something besides yourself.

3. Engage in relationship.

4. Learn what makes a good offering.

5. Serve the other in this way.

That’s something.

~ from Coming Home: Learning to Actively Love this World

When working with clients, I deeply attune to narratives that emerge from the depths of psyche, body, and time. I engage with emergent words, images, sounds, and feelings as pattern language – mysterious and yet knowable. I facilitate restorative, relational conversations that enable a return to place as identity, as lineage, as an integral aspect of living, generative systems. I guide by serving as a translator, witness, and co-walker – inhabiting the liminal forgotten landscapes in which the essence of human spirit is rooted. My work is grounded in the strengths of Western science, holistic ways of “non-ordinary” knowing that arise from reciprocal place-based relationships, and the medicine of wisdom that must be offered upon the return from arduous rites of passage.

At the Trailhead

Welcome. You made it here. Every starting point is an arrival.

Are you experiencing ecological grief, climate anxiety, a sense of dissociation from Nature, or the yearning to connect with your ancestral nature-based beliefs and traditions? These are some of the trailheads at which we may begin our journey together.

Soul Guiding

Exploration at Depth | Transformative | World-Shaping

I guide clients who long to be released from the constraints and ramifications of paradigms that keep them separated from their true Nature – who are being called into a life rooted in reverence, relationality, reciprocity, and regeneration. Our work together is deep, highly transformative, and world-shaping. It requires courageous vulnerability, self-tending, and a commitment to a sacred journey that can be profoundly beautiful and profoundly challenging.

Coaching/Mentoring

Orienteering | Capacity Building | Integration

I also coach or mentor clients seeking to improve their capacities to foster life-honoring futures. Perhaps you are a mental health practitioner wanting to be more effective in working with clients experiencing ecological grief or climate anxiety. Maybe you have recently undergone a nature-based initiatory process, such as a vision quest or plant spirit medicine retreat, and want assistance with integration and realignment – nurturing what wants to emerge. Although this work is largely skill-oriented, it is directed by your sense of purpose, identity, and values. It is guided by inner wisdom and vitality.

Our work together arises out of a co-creative process. Every session is responsive to your intent and organically unfolds as we explore the chosen terrain. Clients based in the continental United States may schedule phone or Zoom sessions. All other sessions are conducted via Zoom. Please read the Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer before scheduling your session. By requesting a session, you acknowledge and agree to these guidelines, thereby supporting safety, transparency, and confidentiality.

"I have always appreciated Jamie’s rare ability to listen with genuine presence, empathy, and care. She creates a space where difficult emotions can be explored honestly and without judgment, while gently helping people find clarity, meaning, and a way forward."

—Erick Vargas
"The natural world is the ultimate teacher and Jamie is the confident guide for reminding us of our authentic human-nature. She listened to me with the ears of her heart and allowed safe space for me to uncover hidden truths. She did not flinch or look away as the layers of hurt were laid bare in want of healing."

—Cheri Goldstein
"Jamie has a gift for helping people remember their place in the living world. With compassion, wisdom, and a lack of judgement, she creates a space for the difficult emotions that often accompany our relationship with Mother Earth and other humans in our lives...Through Jamie's work, I developed a deep sense of my intuition, a stronger connection with (as) nature, and a renewed sense of belonging. The result has been a profound shift in how I make decisions, relate to the world around me, and find meaning during challenging times. "
