We offer a personalized and hybrid approach that blends Transpersonal Psychology, Indigenous wisdom, and the unique qualities of each individual. Our focus is on helping you navigate the full spectrum of emotions related to both spiritual and physical challenges. This journey often involves transcending the deep impacts of wetiko, reconnecting with your original blueprint, and remembering your true purpose. Through heart-centered connections and transformative practices, we empower you to rediscover the essence of who you truly are.
Our approach also embraces Narrative Therapy, encouraging you to reshape your life story in a mythical way that honors both your personal journey and ancestral heritage. By combining these diverse modalities, we empower you to transcend limitations, heal the dark night of the soul, reconnect with your original instructions, and return to childlike innocence. Whether you seek to overcome spiritual illness, heal from past trauma, or rediscover your authentic self, Warrior Child Healing is here to hold space for you to step into your power and be the miracle that you are seeking.
“A warrior is not about perfection, or victory, or invulnerability. He’s about absolute vulnerability. That’s the only true courage”

Meet Mike
Meet Mike
I have been a mental health clinician (MFT) for two decades with many roles in community mental health, public schools, and private practice. I’m currently a PhD candidate in Integral Health at CIHS where I am researching Indigenous medicines and their impact on autoimmune disease and PTSD. My passion and purpose is to integrate and teach transcendent aspects of the human experience within the framework of modern psychology.
Healer’s Prayer
If you come to me as a victim, I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.
I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.
I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.
I’ll bang your body with good herbs, and I’ll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky.
Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behavior.
I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision.
I will blow your throat to release the knot that won’t let you talk.
I will blow your heart to scare fear, so that it goes far away where it cannot find you.
I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace.
I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments, and the love that was not.
I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came.
I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create, and start again.
I will blow upon your sacred center, clearing the path to your soul, freeing it from the burdens of past pain and unfulfilled love.
I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you.
I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating.
I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place.
I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth.
I’ll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright.
And I will let you rest.
After this, you will cry, and after crying you will sleep,
And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams,
and when you wake up I’ll be waiting for you.
I will smile at you, and you will smile back.
I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you.
Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me.
And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried.
Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again.
And we will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth.
And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart.
And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians.
And you will say thank you to all of them.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
