A Return to Wholeness
The person behind Rooted Light Healing: Kylie is a holistic counselor and Reiki Master/Teacher who is passionate about growth, healing, and empowerment. Kylie approaches healing from the belief that we are all innately whole, and due to life events and stresses this wholeness is forgotten- healing can be a path of remembering our wholeness and return to ourselves.
This healing moves away from pathologizing your symptoms toward a curious exploration of what has happened to you and how it has shaped who you are today.

Transpersonal & Somatic Counseling for Trauma
Trauma lives in the body, in the parts of you that learned to protect, and in the places where meaning got broken. This is slow, relational work that makes room for gradual transformation in a grounded and warm approach.
Transpersonal: identity beyond the personal self, spiritual development, expanded states of consciousness, the soul's deeper movement
Somatic: body-based awareness using somatic cues, sensation, and nervous system states as data and entry points
Modalities
Somatic therapy: tracking sensation, posture, and impulse so the nervous system can complete what it couldn't at the time
EMDR trauma therapy: structured approach to reprocessing traumatic memories to integrate unhealed past events and create empowering meaning making
Parts work therapy: a compassionate approach that treats the mind as a system of distinct parts, helping you connect with your core, wise Self to understand and heal your protective and wounded parts
Mindfulness-based therapy: a supportive approach that teaches you to observe your thoughts and emotions in the present moment without judgment, helping you break automatic stress responses and find inner calm.
Transpersonal therapy: a psychological framework that examines the full spectrum of human experience including altered states of consciousness, spiritual crises, and peak experiences to facilitate psycho-spiritual growth and self-actualization.
Reiki Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing that supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Reiki means “universal life force energy” and works by relaxing the body to relieve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blocks that create difficulties in our health. This type of therapy is a way of guiding energy through the body to promote the recipient’s self healing abilities. Reiki is offered through light non-invasive touch with the practitioners’ hands placed in a series of locations on the body.

The origins of Rooted Light Healing
We all carry light within us - the spark of the soul, our divine nature, the part that longs for something greater. And we are also rooted - embodied, part of earth, and shaped by our histories and ancestors who came before us.
As humans, we bridge the worlds of the human and the spirit.
Rooted Light Healing was named for the practice of honoring both of these truths: the ascending movement towards peak mystical experiences and spiritual wonder. And the descending work of coming home to the body, meeting our shadows, honoring our place on this earth, and reconnecting with the lineages that shaped us.
