ABOUT

Sage is a guide and ally in expanding consciousness and integrating ancient healing arts with modern science. Her path is devoted to supporting seekers in awakening to who they are, reclaiming their lives, unlocking their potential, and empowering a new era on this planet.

Meet Sage -

Sage’s initiation into supporting consciousness evolution began through transcendental meditation as a teenager and in her early twenties when she was seeking healing for mental disturbance and severe chronic Lyme disease. For over a decade, she has studied the transpersonal: meditation, shamanic cosmologies and healing, depth psychology, and consciousness. Her approach is in deep reverence for our resilience and radically trusting in 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.

Sage has apprenticed and worked with many indigenous healers in their ancestral lands. Over the past seven years, she has 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, she intensively studied indigenous healing with a transpersonal and depth ecological lens under Lila Vega and leading experts in the field. Sage received a BS in Global Business and International Affairs from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and a MA in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. She previously managed and led consciousness expansive retreats at a healing center in Nosara, Costa Rica, and has been facilitating international retreats for over seven years.

Sage’s 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 her heart, she is in the process of founding a nonprofit, CAYA Fund, 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.

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.

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.”
