DEVAN - ELEMENTAL ADAPTATION
Forest Facilitator ✦ Vitalist ✦ Wholistic Nurturer

Devan started her journey of helping others in 2008 when she made the decision to learn massage therapy. After years of practice she found herself questioning the mode of healing she was providing and as fate would have it she was dropped into the hands of a craniosacral therapist for a last resort attempt at healing an injury. Upon getting immediate relief from a pain that no other practitioner had been able to help with she decided to learn this modality that seemed to fit better with her idea of what healing could look like. From there she developed a determination to learn more about how and why we heal, what a truly wholistic view of a human is in regards to what ails us, and how our lived experience manifests in our bodies, minds and souls.

With a variety of teachers guiding her she has learned many ways to get to Rome. All of these techniques, skills, and the lived experience that came with learning them blend together to find roots in all her offerings. From shamanism to clinical massage therapy she brings many worlds to the table. As a Red River Métis Woman who is reconnecting with her culture she also pulls from her growing base of indigenous knowing and weaves this into her gifts.

Devan is trauma informed and is consistently continuing her education in this realm as new information becomes public. She provides intuitive, pain free body work for emotional and physical pain using techniques she's developed across many modalities. She also provides trauma psychoeducation one on one and in group settings.

Devan has also been trained in psychedelic integration for those who feel they were left without support after experiencing psychedelics. Working together we can begin to find ways for the experience to become lived.

And along with that she was also trained in a somatic therapy that is based off of teachings from Sharon Stanley, Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Irene Lyon and more. This type of therapy helps get to the core in a gentle and connected way. It does not look like a typical talk therapy session and because of that it can be very effective at transforming your emotional and physical selves. It is something Devan uses to work with burn out, physical and emotional pain, trauma, maladaptive behaviors and difficult to control emotions. It can also be used as a way to determine each individual's  unique sustainable self care practices, allowing for integration of lasting change.

Devan also holds guided meditative movement classes for all body types and abilities that allow your cells to lead, rather than your mind.
Facilitated forest bathing workshops where you will reconnect yourself with our collective mother, Earth.
Visualization classes where you will learn how to apply disciplined focus to bring about big change.
Drumming with guided somatic meditation.
And animal journeys to help you find and connect to your guides.
