Aaryn

A tender of hearth and hearth-fire, walking the path of remembrance.

Descent, Initiation & Return

I walk this path as one who has passed through profound descent — extended seasons of pain, disconnection, spiritual upheaval, and two long dark nights that reshaped my inner terrain. A spiritual emergence cracked my life open, and a thirteen-year soul initiation drew me deep into the underworld of my own becoming. In those years, I began learning to metabolize what felt unbearable, to digest and transmute the chrysalis of becoming, and to practice the slow, devotional, and ongoing art of welcoming myself home.

These passages became the architecture of my offerings.

My foundations hold both formal study and spirit medicine: Craniosacral and Polarity Therapy through NMAHA, the Yew Mysteries with Michael Dunning, and more than twenty years in relationship with plant medicine traditions in Peru and Mexico. Grief ritual, ancestral tending, and devotional pilgrimages continue to shape my orientation to the tending arts.

I am an ongoing student of a living Huachuma teacher in Chavín de Huántar, Peru, whose alignment keeps my practice connected to the pulse of the cactus and the living medicine it carries.

Training, Lineage & Devotion

The Birth of HeartH Tend

HeartH Tend emerged from the alchemy of those years of thresholds and initiatory passage — from listening to the body’s whisperings, the breath’s intelligence, and the teachings of the earth and her plants and fungi. It grew out of my lived experience of transforming shadow into light, fragmentation into coherence, and disconnection into embodied presence.

“At its center is a prayer: to remember, to reconnect, and to embody essence.”

My Way of Working

My path weaves craniosacral therapy and somatic practices, plant and fungal intelligence, breathwork, claircognizance, energy work, and attuned presence. These threads form the living fabric of HeartH Tend — an offering devoted to helping others find the ember of true essence and truth within themselves.

The Hearth I Tend

It is my honor to tend this hearth — a space where your true essence can be witnessed, reclaimed, and embodied. Here, we listen together for the parts of you that are ready to come home.

Mission

To help people reconnect with the truth of who they are — to return home to themselves, to remember their place in the great weaving of life — with compassion, integrity, and devotion.
