🌿 Telehealth Transition Announcement 🌿

Beginning September 3, 2025, I’ll be offering telehealth services for clinical care. Whether it’s winter roads, distance, or a busy schedule—your healing should always be within reach. 💻🌧️

Telehealth sessions through SimplePractice (or your preferred HIPAA-compliant platform) are easy to access and just as warm and supportive as our in-person sessions.

As our practice expands across Minnesota, I’m still here for you—and I’ll be available for occasional in-person sessions at the Bemidji office.

Let’s stay connected, wherever you are. 💜

📅 Schedule anytime at iamhealingspirit.org
📬 Need help setting up? I’ve got you!

Get started on your individualized path to healing and building an amazing new you with the bright future you deserve.

“Healing happens in the space between connection and play.”

This isn’t just a quote. It’s a truth I’ve lived, witnessed, and built my work around.

At I AM Incorporated, we believe healing doesn’t happen in forced conversations or quick fixes. It happens in that sacred space — the quiet moment between child and caregiver, between rhythm and stillness, between imagination and trust.

It happens when a child dares to giggle again.

-When a caregiver lowers their voice and sits on the floor
-When play becomes the language of safety
-When we see each other, fully

As an Ojibwe woman, mother, and trauma therapist, I’ve learned that resilience begins in relationship — not in performance or perfection, but in the brave act of connection. And often, that connection begins with play.

The mother bear reminds me: strength can be gentle.

The night sky reminds me: imagination holds its own kind of truth.

And our children remind us every day: healing is not linear — it is relational.

If this speaks to you, know that our doors are open. We are here to listen, to play, and to hold space for what comes next.
