Work With Sage
More about my journey -
My initiation into supporting consciousness evolution began through transcendental meditation as a teenager and in my early twenties when I was seeking healing for mental disturbance and severe chronic Lyme disease. For over a decade, I have studied the transpersonal: meditation, shamanic cosmologies and healing, depth psychology, and consciousness. My approach is in deep reverence for our resilience and radically trusts life’s initiations as an education for awakening to our essence. Through the alchemy of inner-reconciliation, we become medicine for the collective and stewards of the mystical.
I have apprenticed and worked with many indigenous healers in their ancestral lands. Over the past seven years, I have spent a great deal of time living with a respected Shipibo Onanya and his family to learn the sacred art of chanting. Through the nonprofit AWE, I intensively studied indigenous healing with a transpersonal and depth ecological lens under Lila Vega and leading experts in the field. I received my BS in Global Business and International Affairs from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and my MA in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I previously managed and led consciousness expansive retreats at a healing center in Nosara, Costa Rica, and have been facilitating international retreats for over seven years.
My work brings together modern trauma resolution science and spiritual healing informed by trainings in Systemic Constellations, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Conscious-Connected Breathwork, the Holotropic Paradigm, Axiatonal Alignment, and Ecopsychology.
With the preservation of indigenous wisdom close to my heart, she founded a nonprofit, Caya, dedicated to supporting indigenous agency, sustainability of their ancestral lands, and healing scholarships. “Caya” in Shipibo resonates with the word Spirit. Caya is the thread that weaves the essence within each individual to the plants, the collective, the cosmos - everything within the fabric of this life. Our prayer is to the Caya in All. A percentage of all Ilumina offerings are tithed back to our teachers.

It’s apparent that she has a natural gift as a healer and that her mission is to help guide other people in achieving the healing they are seeking. Every interaction I’ve had with her has brought about more self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing for me. I felt so much shifting, releasing, and healing in the days to follow sessions, and Sage was wonderful at supporting me in my integration process. Thank you Sage!”

Her extensive experience and knowledge of family systems and other therapeutic modalities has been instrumental in helping me navigate through some of the most difficult times in my life. She has been patient, compassionate, and understanding, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for me to open up and share my thoughts and feelings. Her guidance and expertise have helped me to better understand the root causes of my issues, identify negative patterns in my behavior, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. She has been instrumental in helping me improve my communication skills and enhance my relationships with others. Furthermore, her ability to tailor her approach to meet my specific needs has been truly remarkable.

She is very nurturing and intuitively knows how to assist each person. I highly recommend her as a mentor and trusted guardian to assist you as you seek to discover the magic of you.”
- Katie N. (Mother, Entrepreneur) -
“I can’t say often enough that this was a completely life changing experience for me and also for all of the people who were there. Looking back, this experience has changed my life. I cannot tell you how much has changed for the better in my life, how solid I am in my understanding of myself and my experiences and what I feel to do in life and where I feel to go. I am able to support myself in ways I didn’t even understand before the experience. I had a lot of trauma in my life and I had done a lot of personal growth work and worked really, really hard. But this experience got me out of my head, into my body, and into the type of knowing I had been looking for all my life, really. I can’t just say enough for it and for Sage and her team. I am forever grateful.”

"✨✨✨ Wanted to share a big win today! I lived for 15 years without full use of my legs in debilitating chronic pain. Today I went on TWO long walks without any pain during or after the walks and did over 8k steps. Even 6 months ago, before my bobinsana dieta, this would have caused shooting pain for days. 🤸♀️💃🏼🪩 Celebrating movement and big shifts today"
