connecting with our wise and loving ancestors that we all have
Ancestral support can serve as a powerful resource for personal and family transformation and healing. It can be also the key to cultural change and acceptance. The wisdom of our elders is a rich gift for everyone to claim and receive, willing to connect and cultivate relationships with your well and harmonized blood family ancestors. In this process, I guide you step by step to establish meaningful and nurturing relationships with your wise elders whilst they look after the necessary repair in your blood lineages.
Ancestral Healing is a smooth and soft work system developed by Dr. Daniel Foor to facilitate the repair of our blood ancestors. This ritual process, also called Ancestral Lineage Healing, creates healthy and viable relationships with the wise who lived before us.
When our ancestors are consciously cared for and receive our attention, we are able to
embody the deep gifts they share with us, which can support our path in life. When we enter into healthy relationships with the vibrant and well ancestors who came before us, we really begin to know the deep truths about who we are and where we came from. Feelings of disunity or lack of belonging begin to subside as inter-generational burdens and cultural trauma heal and gets harmonized. By consciously engaging with our ancestral roots, we become more grounded and ingrained in our lives as we feel the support of the thousands of people who preceded us and participated in our creation.
The method of ancestral healing is based on several principles that are not dogmatic, but reflect nature. The first is that consciousness continues to exist beyond the loss of our physical bodies. Second, that this ancestral consciousness is not fixed, but rather fluid and capable of change and evolution. Third, that we are able to connect with this ancestral consciousness and to develop full-fledged relationships with those in our team.
The process of contact with our good and wise ancestors takes place within a securely maintained ritual space. This ritual space combines body awareness, guiding trance, somatic experience, music, songs, the practice of offering gifts and gratitude, and building a specific place / altar for the practice. By making contact with our ancient ancestors within this structure, we must know nothing about our genealogy, nor are we encumbered with the responsibility of doing the hard work of healing our lineage alone. Nor should we feel fully responsible for eliminating certain inherited patterns or traumas. Rather, we enter a place of trust and support as we allow our wise ancestors to weave healing along the lineage. The very work and contact with them allows us to consciously see hereditary gifts or hereditary patterns of behavior that we do not longer need to repeat.
Ancestor healing is available to everyone. You don’t have to be an “intuitive” or “psychic” to tend to the ancestors. You don’t need to know anything about your pedigree, heritage or relatives, although it helps a lot if you have information about them to confirm what you will encounter in the process. If you are new to ritual work and still do not trust your intuition, I offer support in this part.
It is a 5 step process which might develop in the frame of 5-6 sessions, but sometimes it can expand with a slower pace and propose a longer work if the ancestors are suggesting other pace.

Some answers to common questions
WHO ARE THE ANCESTORS?
In this working structure, the ancestors are the people who lived before you and from whom you descend directly, your bloodline. However, you do not need to know anything about your ancestors, genealogy or biological family to do this work.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ANCESTRAL HEALING?
Your ancestors lived through thousands of years and experiences all kinds of hardships and blessings. That makes them precious wisdom keepers and a blessed source of support and love, when we need help and guidance. They know our true potential and want us to live a life that fulfills us and expresses our unique gifts and potential. By healing and tending to your ancestors, you can better align yourself with your own life path. You can cure toxic patterns between generations and change the unhealthy dynamics in your living family. You can reconnect with the Earth and the natural world. You can contribute to cultural healing from long-standing wounds such as patriarchy, racism, homophobia, religious fundamentalism. You can claim talents and gifts that were there always for you and let yourself be guided and held by your family web. You can create and weave a new cycle filled with belonging, abundance and a sense of deep inner integration.
IS ANCESTRAL LINEAGE HEALING SUITABLE FOR ME?
Whatever your circumstances or needs this work is a wonderful starting base for strengthening your roots and grounding. No matter if you are an immigrant, a nomad without a firm place, a rooted settler who never left homelands, if you are in good relationships with your living family or are far from them, if you are adopted, or an orphan, no matter your current circumstances- YOUR ANCESTORS are always there for you. This path will assist you in establishing good, nurturing connections with them. If you want to feel at home with yourself, to find a deeper sense of purpose, to experience both a sense of belonging and strong boundaries in your relationships, this work will be right for you. If you have done psychotherapy or other personal development work, but still carry burdens from earlier generations, you will benefit from ancestral healing. If you are new to any personal work, this is a good place to start your journey, acknowledging your roots and building a strong base with your family.
IS THIS PATH COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER THERAPY?
Ancestral healing is an excellent ally of psychotherapy, although it is not a substitute for somatic or process trauma work. In addition, ancestral healing is a spiritually sound process in which heavy lifting is done by wise and loving ancestors, not by you or your therapist. You move through the steps at your own pace, each step being based on the previous one. The model emphasizes ritual safety, with clear and effective boundaries between you and all ancestors who are not yet in good spirits.
WHAT IS ANCESTRAL REVERENCE?
Tending for the ancestral relationships and remembering those who preceded you has been a tradition in most ancient cultures. Today there are still some taboos around its rituals. Some people falsely believe it’s a time to worship ancestors; in reality, it’s a practice that holds deep reverence and remembrance of our ancestors through offerings and prayer. It’s a beautiful way to ensure those who came before us are never forgotten and are strong enough to continue protecting and guiding us.
IF A FAMILY MEMBER HAS DIED RECENTLY, WILL ANCESTRAL HEALING HELP ME TO STAY IN CONTACT AND TEND THEM IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION?
If your loved one has died recently, you may still be in a period of grief. It is important to be fully involved in this difficult process. While you tend your connection with the elders in your lineages, they in turn will hold and support the newly passed family member. Up to to almost a period of a year it is considered that the spirit of the person who passed on needs still time of adjustment, as much as you might need the same. After a period of a year or more, it becomes possible to reconnect with the spirit with your loved one. While ancestral healing can be supportive at any time along the way, it can be most effective when your loved one is ready and completely gone. Therefore, this work can contribute just as much to the preparation of this acceptance of the soul, even if the deceased has recently passed away.
how does a session work?
- I offer a 30 min free consultation, to get to know each other and clear out all questions you might have.
- The sessions can be both in presence and online (in Zoom platform)
- The initial session is 90 min long that helps us make an evaluation of how the lines stay currently and build a good base for your following work.
- A regular session is 70 minutes long. We create a nice ritual space together, can use drumming and smudging, and making some offerings on the altar for our work, then enter into practice.
- During sessions, I assist you in nurturing the relationship with your people and make sure there is a safe ritual space while you make the connection and use your intuition.
- I will take notes for you while your ancestors are sharing their lessons and wisdom and may give you advises for concerns you bring them. The notes are helpful for you to track down also how you can best tend your connection together.
- You are free to decide the pace of the sessions and this often depends on your people and how they like to proceed.
