a breeze of Brianne…

With a background in social work, I cannot unsee the injustices of the world and its impacts on each individual I work with. I worked within government and non-profit structures and found loopholes for social justice by co-creating social programs aimed to enact root-level, inter-generational and holistic social change. I am forever beholden to two previous employers, respectively, Cree and Māori led non-profit organizations, who invited me in as an ally to follow their lead and shoulder their people up within a social and political context of resisting ongoing colonization.

My approach is ‘trauma’-informed in a radical way. ‘Trauma’ is a medicalized word that often makes social injustices a personal problem while erasing a more accurate account of what happened: violence, oppression and/or colonization. Inviting stories of resistance to oppression prioritizes people’s own empowerment, dignity and agency. I have studied the neuroscience of how an overwhelmed nervous system (‘trauma’) can have lasting affects on behaviour, emotions, relationships, physical health and psychology. Combining these approaches includes the past while focusing on present and future orientated healing and provides flexibility to hold people up in the ways that they identify help is needed. It’s a “both, and…” approach.

I studied Evolutionary Astrology (as taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green) through Timothy Halloran’s Astrology school. I saw astrological archetypes in real life and traced them back to the birth chart and current transits. I developed the ability to interpret the symbols while also tending to the messy process of human evolution. The science of Evolutionary Astrology is observation and correlation. Cycles in Nature are exquisite teachers and healers. Astrology is nature. Nature reflects our cyclical evolution across lifetimes. Evolutionary astrology pin points personal and collective growing pains and illuminates the healing journey.

Combining Evolutionary Astrology with energy reading and past life reading can be helpful to return a sense of wholeness on a soul level. The symbolic language of nature speaks through all of these mediums, uncovering the unconscious aspects of a soul’s journey for the purpose of integrating soul-level healing. I am humbly honoured to be an interpreter of these symbolic languages and aim to make the spiritual practical by weaving these worlds into the fabric of humanity’s healing.
