Being alive is magnificent, yes? The most simple experiences in life—of breathing, enjoying a glass of cool water, and greeting the rising sun—awaken the Natural Basic Goodness of being human. We are inherently opened and delighted when we feel a Vital connection with ourselves, others, and the natural world.
However, living in the chronic hyper-stimulus and pressure of our modern world, struggling through poor health, and staying stuck in harmful habits can create a deep disconnection and dis-belonging that results in vicious cycles of distress, insecurity, and reactivity, ultimately leaving us feeling diminished and less motivated to actually slow down and apply the kindness and care required to cultivate a truly Awake life.
And yet, it is exactly in these times of uncertainty and hardship–when the stakes are so high–that we must courageously claim our gifts, contribute to the world we love & belong to, and be nourished in return. It is in working with ourselves, with gentleness, willingness, and honest courage that we are able to see our lives accurately. Seeing through the mesmerizing fog of societal and familial conditioning to uncover our original belonging and basic goodness, and giving ourselves permission to Authentically Feel, allows us to metabolize and liberate what is stuck or forgotten.
I am here to help you navigate this process of becoming more open-hearted, generous, and truthful. I am here to champion you to choose that which uplifts & enriches your life. I am here to advocate for your desires and dreams, and Awaken to a life worth living!
I invite you to work with me. I offer individually tailored support in private sessions, group workshops, and training programs using a range of modalities including:
When we find ourselves in critical moments of growth or change, when we are longing for freshness and clarity, we need a guide. We need a person we can trust, who has the empathy and occasional fierceness to hold us to that which truly Enlivens, to teach us how to be well, to show us our blind spots, and to help us awaken to our Vital & Noble Selves.
Madeleina is an expert guide with decades of devotion initiating sincere seekers into the Vital Aliveness of their own selves, using counseling & coaching, herbs & food, embodiment & expression, and connection with nature.

Receive Vital Teachings
It’s often said that knowledge is power. In our current, so-called information age, we can gain knowledge in an instant with the click of a button. And while it’s true that knowledge is a great resource and privilege, it only blossoms as actual power when rooted in the wise guidance of direct experience and authentic lineage.
It is heartbreaking to watch modern people, in our consumerist culture, relate to knowledge and the path of education as something lifeless to be acquired and possessed.
It is a rare and precious opportunity to directly receive knowledge that is Awake and Alive, carefully entrusted from the hands of a teacher to their student from generation to generation.
Madeleina offers this Awake and Alive knowledge, as a marriage of direct experience and authentic lineage, in a unique and personalized way that reaches to the core of her students.

Heal Thyself…with Food
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
— Hippocrates
Heraclitus, the ancient Greek physician, said “First, do no harm.” Because what we eat is the foundation of health, making food our medicine, rather than our poison, is essential. Faced with an endless mirage of poor options in our current food landscape, knowing what to eat, and how to actually implement it into a daily lifestyle can be overwhelming.
Amid the never-ending contradictory information of fad diets, Madeleina offers clarity. Her approach is rooted in traditional knowledge, reinforced by nutritional science. It begins from the ground up, tending the soil of our bodies’ environment, so that we can do what we are so naturally and intelligently designed to do. . . thrive. She works to formulate a delicious and nutritional plan specific to your body’s needs. This is the Land that the house of Health is built on. The road to wellness starts here.

Cultivate Wellness with Herbalism
Plants have ever been the allies of humans. The history of herbal medicine goes back as far as human history itself in a co-evolution of reciprocal relationship. The benefits of herbal medicine are substantial, especially when applied by a trained professional who understands the subtle distinctions and properties of the herbs, in context with the season and each person’s constitution.
Madeleina has dedicated her life to understanding how plant properties synergistically affect our complex human systems. She incorporates a breadth of knowledge from cross-cultural modalities. This multi-faceted lens helps her offer clients a thorough and culturally sensitive approach to addressing the root of underlying health issues.
This type of carefully administered herbal medicine is effective at addressing a wide range of health concerns such as: stress, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, sleep issues, chronic pain, focus, fatigue, and skin problems.
Herbal medicine is also an ideal ‘CAM’ (complementary alternative medicine) in the management of chronic disease.

Thank you for giving me my health back!”

Reconnect with Nature
Human’s relationship with Nature is the fundamental ground of our being. We are comprised of it’s fabric. It is the air that we breathe, the sun that gives all things life, and the water that sustains us. Nature and humans have an inextricable bond. When we forget this bond, and when we forget to care for it like any other relationship, we as humans become imbalanced and unraveled. We need Nature, and She, or They, need us. Health experts are becoming more aware of Traditional and Indigenous People’s wisdom about the vital ‘transpersonal’ importance of connecting with nature for mental, physical and spiritual health.
All of what Madeleina offers as a holistic health practitioner and educator are, in themselves, gifts with their origins in nature. Madeleina understands that a complete approach to Vibrant Health and Aliveness asks us to find the source of what’s asking for our attention. By beginning to restore a reciprocal relationship with nature, we gain access to a sanity often misplaced in our modern lifestyle and allows the balance of our authentic selves to return. As part of Madeleina’s offering she guides people to restore this relationship and helps to re-inspire the Wonder of Awakening to Life.

“I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.”
