About Patricia

“The journey in seeing myself as fully whole all because of my brokenness has created magic in my life, as it will for you too.” 

Patri­cia A. Jones, LCSW‑R, ACSW is a strength-based, trau­ma informed psy­chother­a­pist in pri­vate prac­tice in East Auro­ra, NY.

For 30+ years she has had the priv­i­lege of work­ing with chil­dren, ado­les­cents, adults, and fam­i­lies in help­ing them see their wholeness.

A shaman­ic prac­ti­tion­er and Rei­ki Mas­ter as well, Patri­cia inte­grates these spir­i­tu­al heal­ing modal­i­ties into her practice.

About John

“A lifetime of carrying shame and grief has redefined my life purpose.” 

As a young para­medic in Toron­to, I often piqued the curios­i­ty of my friends about my job.

Occa­sion­al­ly, I would men­tion my encoun­ters with what I fond­ly called my “Dead Poets Soci­ety,” a nod to the film fea­tur­ing Robin Williams. These encoun­ters, expressed through the final expres­sions of the depart­ed, taught me pro­found lessons of grief.

Over time, I dis­cov­ered a deep­er call­ing as a shaman, delv­ing into the world of the deceased, ances­tors, and benev­o­lent spirits.

This path pro­vid­ed me with valu­able teach­ings, knowl­edge, and oppor­tu­ni­ties for heal­ing as I learned to tend to a life­time of shame and grieving.

Now retired after 35 years of ser­vice, I tend to my shaman­ic heal­ing prac­tice work­ing with clients suf­fer­ing from soul loss, and tend­ing to lost spirits.

We under­stand your jour­ney and the courage you need to walk with and grow from your grief. Let us help you.

Mission

To call out the many forms of grief which weigh us down, steal our light and hard­en our hearts, and to light­en one’s sor­rows as we are intro­duced to meth­ods of soul­ful griev­ing and healing.

Vision

To inspire the explo­ration of grief;   build­ing greater resilience by devel­op­ing hid­den gifts in the face of loss; cul­ti­vat­ing com­pas­sion and deep­en­ing con­nec­tions to those who live on.

Values

  • To pro­vide safe, com­pas­sion­ate, con­fi­den­tial heal­ing spaces.
  • Hon­or­ing of shared sto­ries and the frag­ile beau­ty of life experiences.
  • Hold­ing deep grat­i­tude for the priv­i­lege of walk­ing with you in this journey.
  • Grief embraces all peo­ple regard­less of race, colour, reli­gion, sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, gen­der iden­ti­ty, and age. So do we.
