As a healer, my intention is to be a conduit for Spirit.

About your host, Alessa

I’m so excited to share Forest Spirit Retreat with you! I bought the property back in June 2023 and, after a year of renovations, moved in. Now we welcome you to this magical, healing space.

My own healing story is one of a constant, desperate search for fulfilment. There were repeating cycles of overwork and burnout, combined with depression first formed in childhood. I was continually looking for something to make sense of everything and make it all worthwhile. The belief that sustained me was an overwhelming conviction that there had to be something more to life than this.

This started me on a path of spiritual study that has included Andean cosmology and shamanism, breathwork, Hatha yoga, Jikiden Reiki, Sound healing and Tibetan Buddhism. 

In our healing sessions, I help you raise your frequency to create a state of joy, peace and harmony by bringing more of your soul into your body. We do this by releasing some of the lower frequencies from trauma and negative thoughts, beliefs and behaviours and connecting you more fully with your guides and Spirit.

My role is to let Spirit work through me, holding space for you. I combine intuitive healing with breathwork, reiki, sound, and essential oils depending on what’s needed in the moment.

In Gratitude

I am grateful to all my teachers, to all the events and people along the path that led me to this place and continue to teach me.

Co-create with Spirit
