Services
For women (and those who love them) who are tired of coping and ready for something deeper. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people stuck in repeating patterns or feeling disconnected in their relationships and daily lives. In mentorship, we slow down and work directly with what’s happening in your body and your life; integrating psychological insight, somatic practice, spiritual guidance, and the erotic so you can see yourself more clearly, respond differently, and make choices that feel honest and your own.
For those who sense there is something more but don’t know how to access it, ceremony offers a clear and grounded way in. I guide trauma-informed ceremonies using shamanic and somatic practices, sound, and prayer, creating a steady space to step out of your head, reconnect with your body, and listen to what’s true for you. Ceremony helps you move past overthinking, reconnect with your inner guidance, and deepen your relationship with Spirit in a way that feels personal and real.
As a speaker, I bring over 30 years of clinical, psychological, and shamanic experience to conversations on healing, eroticism, consciousness, and reconnecting to the Sacred Feminine.
My talks invite you into a deeper understanding of how your physiological, environmental, and spiritual intersect to create your integration. My presence as a speaker is both catalytic and calming, I speak to awaken your spiritual core.
Podcast Launching January 2027
For Those Brave Enough to Face Their Shadow & Claim Their Power
Curious Peeps is my upcoming podcast about self-development, power, relationships, and the deeper patterns shaping our lives. In it, I bring together my work as a naturopathic doctor, psychedelic therapist, shamanic practitioner, and intimacy coach to explore healing at the intersection of science, spirituality, and the intelligence of the body.
Through honest conversations and lived experience, we explore trauma healing, intimacy, consciousness, somatic wisdom, and the kinds of topics most people don’t say out loud…and what it takes to live what we learn in everyday life.
Before the podcast launches in early 2027, I share a monthly newsletter called the Fan Guide for Curious Peeps, a curated space for reflection, guidance, and practical integration.
You’ll receive:
• Field Notes on sovereignty, boundaries, and inner authority
• Simple practices you can use in daily life
• Rose Compass reflections for deeper self-inquiry
• Companion teachings and “Deep Thoughts” in the private Facebook group, Curious Peeps Community Hub
Join the Fan Guide for Curious Peeps and receive monthly guidance for living what you’re learning.

About Afia
Why You Still Feel Stuck (Even After Therapy)
Many people who come to me are already doing the work but still feel numb, anxious, or disconnected in their bodies and relationships. Often, therapy has helped but hasn’t fully addressed what lives in the body: somatic conditioning, inherited shame beliefs, and the ways early experiences shape desire and connection.
For more than 30 years, I’ve supported people through grief, breakdown, and major life transitions as a psychologist, naturopathic doctor, intimacy coach, and shamanic practitioner. I integrate psychology, spirituality, and eroticism to help you reconnect with your body, trust yourself, and move through life with more clarity and choice.

I am glad I found Afia in this last chapter of my life. Afia has helped me come home to myself. I am at peace.

Through our work, I’ve expanded my capacity to slow down and be present, to ground myself, to show up with care for both myself and others. I’ve learned to identify limits, communicate boundaries as I find them, and share the wisdom I’ve gleaned with those navigating obstacles she once helped me through.

I’ve worked with many therapists and somatic practitioners over the past fifteen years, but working with Afia was unique. She’s a grounded healer and channel, acting like a bring between the Divine and the Human.

I serendipitously met Afia nearly a decade ago, and I’m blessed, highly favored, and eternally grateful for her presence on my path. If you’re considering working with her, allow me to reassure you: it’s infinitely worth the investment. My world has been illuminated by the light she radiates as she walks beside me, holding space and supporting my capacity to grow through even the most painful moments. She initiated my journey of compassionate self-discovery, and the transformation that followed has been so profound I can’t imagine what my life would look like had we never met. Simply kismet.

![A pink and cream rose petal floating against a pale blue sky.]()
It’s hard to find the words to describe my time with Afia….it’s as if she cleared the clutter between me and Spirit; I feel more connected and at peace in myself. She reminded me that the Divine is within me, and I need not look beyond myself to find it. What a gift to be treated as whole. What a gift to be seen as sovereign and holy. Afia was unwaveringly steady at the face of my pain. To my surprise, she helped me to clear residual trauma in my arms and neck and anchor in pleasure and joy. It felt sacred to hold grief and joy at the same time. She helped me bring those two together like I never have before.

Through my work with Afia, life is now exponentially easier to navigate — as if I’ve gained a pair of truth goggles, discerning with greater clarity when and how to share what I see with the world.

After the tragic death of a dear friend, I came to Afia to do a ceremonial session. Afia created a space that allowed me to move beneath my heartbreak and access the deeper wisdom of my body. That in and of itself was so healing, as grief is an emotion that often puts my body into alarm. It can be flooding, and I shut down. But with her presence and guidance, I was able to soften and move into my grief with a lot of grace and sovereignty. I felt powerful, even while sitting with an emotion that historically leaves me feeling impotent.

Afia listened beyond my words - she heard my heart and my energy. It was masterful, really. Her reflections were precise, healing, and often infused with just the right touch of playfulness. Even months later, the session continues to guide me. It has been a lantern through my big emotions. It reconnected me to the deeper Self within that knows “All is well.”
