Your energy affects everything.
"There's a better way" is the anchor that took me from dis-ease to guiding thousands of leaders to their own optimizations.
If you're feeling disconnected from those who say "it is what it is" and "it's not possible" because you know it absolutely can change and is possible... keep reading.
Nice to meet you.
What if I told you that you deserve to thrive in all areas - health, wealth, relationships, community, career, faith in yourself or in something greater. Do you believe it? You will, and I will hold that for you.
You may feel: like you were in a good place and you've fallen off track, like you're hitting just 1% of your potential, or like you’re the only one who has your back.
You know at your core you are: aligned, empowered, connected, supported, fulfilled, in serenity, free, lit up from within, creative, and more at ease.Â
My name is River, and I am a Catalyst, Activator, intuitive empath, multidimensional Energy Recalibration Alchemist, healer, guide, optimizer, consultant, creative, and ever-evolving human being.
I intuitively pull from a large number of resources, including my background in psychology and business, subconscious reprogramming, Rapid Resolution Therapy, Mimetic therapies (including IFS, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, PSYCH-K), Neuro-Linguistic Programming, healing from the earthly & galactic Akashic Records, Reiki (12 modalities), karmic imprint clearing with Compassion Key, shamanic journeying, past life healing and integration, trauma release, EFT and/or TFT (tapping on acupressure points), grounding, meditation, mindfulness, somatic healing, quantum manifestation, yoga, astrology and Human Design, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, journaling and taking inventory, subliminals, breath, and mirror work. It’s less important which modality we use and more about what specific recipe is actually going to work for each person. I have worked as a healer, taught workshops, and led ceremonies in New York City, Mexico, and Costa Rica, as well as guiding in the roles of manifestation mentor and co-coach, trauma healer, sobriety mentor, relationship guide, intuitive clairvoyant, management consultant advising the C-Suite of Fortune 500 companies, and mentor for healers, facilitators, creatives, and 6-8 figure business owners.
I am a forever student and always learning and creating new tools, skills and modalities. I’m a strong believer in curiosity, humility, and willingness to see things differently.
Why work with me:
-
I see through the limits you've been telling yourself - so you progress faster
-
I value efficiency - let’s only do what works
-
I believe in short-term + long-term healing. And/both. Heal the root while managing the symptoms. Feel better immediately while continuing to get even better over time.

From dis-ease to freedom
I was 22 the first time my body fell apart. I had just started a “dream” job that I felt utterly unqualified for, and instead of learning the ropes, I found myself running from doctor’s office to doctor’s office, incapacitated with a rare, little understood illness with a poor prognosis. As I lived in fear of getting fired for poor performance, I wondered if I could ever hold down a job, or if I was going to survive this. Doctors gave up on me, and I turned to alternative medicine. Food as medicine, acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, and healing relationship wounds. My debilitating disease went into remission, and I kept on anxiously achieving, digging further into the stereotype of the “anxious overachiever.”
Meanwhile, as I grew in my corporate career and in my education, I knew that something was holding me back and preventing me from thriving. I had a robust resume of trauma in my life that I had not fully processed, and I was avoiding my feelings through substances, food, and other maladaptive coping strategies - that work! - until they don’t. The farther masculine I swung - the obsessive need to achieve, the left-brained logic - the more I craved both a spiritual and validating solution, through intensive energy work and through psychology education. I apprenticed with shamans, healers, ceremonialists, and other sages around the world who lived life a different way. I studied, I practiced, I read, I channeled, I gathered in my toolkit what worked for me and left the rest. Now I live life with great intention and help others remove limits so they can thrive and experience more peace, joy, and freedom in their lives.
Clear + activate.
My philosophy: only do what is most efficient, truly works, and is as gentle as possible. There is no one-size-fits-all in healing, or in life: we each have our own path and are our best healer. Trust your intuition: the best healers will always feel in integrity to you and empower you to believe in yourself, not in an external guru. You already know all the answers- my work is to help you get to a place where you remember.
I'm an Activator and Catalyst.
I am not a therapist.
I will activate you.
I will open you up to rejuvenation on a soul level.
I will bring you back to your power.
A life-long student and teacher, I continue to learn and distill what is most effective and share with all who are willing to receive.
