Cree (y)for medicine, maskihkiy supports holistic wellness through Indigenous and land-based approaches. you are the medicine 💞🌱✨

maskihkiy provides counselling, land-based healing programs, consulting, workshops, & kihtehayak (Elders) services. our kihtehayah (Elder) Wiisug Richard Wright (Leech Lake Anishinaabe) taught us that medicine is anything that helps a person to heal and live a good life. our team uses both traditional and contemporary Indigenous and land-based approaches to holistic wellness to support individuals, families, communities, and organizations in miyo pimâtisiwin (living a good life). we do this through consultation and workshops that incorporate Indigenous pedagogies and experiential learning. each team member brings unique strengths and gifts, including expertise in Indigenous approaches to counselling and trauma work, decolonizing and Indigenizing organizations including strategic planning and program evaluation, reconciliation initiatives and cultural education, and holistic nutrition. maskihkiy wellness is based out of Calgary, Alberta. our team is available to travel both nationally and internationally.

you are not alone, love is everywhere ✨

the concept of love has been so contorted by the dominating colonial framework that we're sold on the idea that love can only be found in certain relationships.

but the truth is that love isn't only found in romantic relationships or in nuclear families. we are always surrounded by love... the love of the land, of spirit, of our ancestors. we are never alone ❤️

a message to our relatives south of the medicine line

amidst the chaos, fear and very real violence happening in the United States (and particularly Minnesota) right now, we encourage you to take care of yourself and your spirit.

connect with land, with your ancestors, with your community. to our iyiniwak relatives of what's now called the Americas, you have survived over 500 years of attempted genocide and carry the wisdom the world needs at this time.

we love you ❤️

episode 12 is LIVE 🌕

what happens when gifts are pathologized and diagnosed by Euro Western psychology?

in the next soul medicine episode, Wiisug Richard Wright joins Dr. Fellner again to talk about what it means to have gifts to perceive entities and energies that most people cannot, the fear embedded in mental health systems, and the healing that can happen when people are met in their own realities.

genocide-informed practice starts with truth: iyiniwak (Indigenous people) have survived over 500 years of attempted genocide, and continue to survive ongoing threats to their lives, lands, languages, and ways of being.

in this approach, the iyiniw coming to therapy is not seen as disordered, broken, or deficient. the conversations that show up in their body — often called “symptoms” in colonial systems — carry teachings about survivance, protection, and the wisdom of generations.

you are already whole. already wise. already carrying medicine. our work is to help uncover what colonial systems have tried to bury, and to walk with you as you reconnect to your inherent wellness.

“we were never crazy. we still aren’t.” ❤️

art is medicine ✨

each piece carries story, memory, and the teachings of all our relations. Dr. Karlee’s artwork is rooted in Indigenous survivance, Métis-Cree beadwork imagery, and the quiet wisdom of the land.

these creations are more than visuals ... they are offerings of healing, connection, and spirit.
