Susan C. Davis Teacher/Practitioner
Recently retired from the mental health field, Susan is excited to continue her service as a student teacher and practitioner of the Terrain of Essence teachings. She continues to train in the school deepening her relationship of 6 plus years with this ancient Sufi wisdom. A Master of Arts degree in Applied Behavioral Science from Bastyr University was acquired in 2006 as part of the Leadership Institute of Seattle program. Susan is also a Certified Sage-ing Leader. Currently co-facilitating a group and review class, Susan is honored to marry the rich teachings of the Terrain of Essence School with 68 years of life experience. Susan's style of sacred inquiry and presencing encourages each person to deeply connect with their own internal Guidance system, their own Soul. Building trust between our humanness and our Divinity may be the life-long relationship we all yearn to experience. Meeting what arises and allowing the inquiry process to unfold in its own timing supports healing and the receiving of sacred gifts from within. Cherishing the sanctity of life has taken on a new depth of understanding through the rigors of this tradition and the beauty it offers. Being introduced to "The Work" in early 2014 accelerated and advanced Susan's own healing journey in unforeseen ways, cementing an appreciation and love of this wisdom. This coalesced into her current path of service as a Sanctity of LIfe Doula. Susan's preference is to serve individual adults and groups. In person, phone and online appointments available. healwoman64@gmail.com 360-701-3098

Jessica Rose Practitioner Dr. Jessica Rose is a visionary and chiropractor with a passion for Embodying Truth. This passion has inspired many learning adventures in Life, spirituality and the healing arts. She has been teaching embodied spirituality over the last two decades, including locally as a co-founder of Awakening to Wholeness, the school of embodied energetics and as a co-creator of the Initiation of the Beloved Teachings.
Jessica has studied for over a decade with Kim Lincoln at the Terrain of Essence School. Somatic presencing and the latifas are an essential part of the in-person and phone sessions she offers. Additionally, Jessica often utilizes muscle testing and NeuroEmotional Technique, shown to reduce traumatic stress, to further support holistic harmonization on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. During sessions, as the nervous system rebalances, the bodymind expands its perspective and has the capacity to witness unconscious defenses, pain patterns and beliefs still holding from past experience. When witnessed by the true healer (the presence and wisdom of you) effortless reorganization can occur. This natural evolutionary transformation allows for new life perspectives and experiences of Self.
In-person sessions are offered at a beautiful office space in connection with nature along the Salish Sea/ Puget Sound. www.jessicarose.love 360-789-3134
Brent Swift Practitioner
Brent is a licensed Acupuncturist yet works as a truly holistic practitioner. He is able to presence the deep essence of an individual, bear witness to how separation occurs and support them to rest back into wholeness. His adaptability allows the process to be shifting directions during the session and to continue to be met. The mystery can then unfold with the freshness that only “not knowing” can bring; this often comes with a playful spirit that fills the session room. He is willing to laugh, shout, tremble and cry with people as the unfolding occurs. The non-judgementalness held in the room makes space for perceptional shifts to occur. The space for this transformation is sacred to Brent and therefore held with deep integrity.
Brent's training stem from four primary categories: Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Peruvian shamanism, Middle Eastern Terrain of Essence, and Western trauma work.
Feel free to schedule with Brent through his website to schedule your session by phone or in person. www.swiftawakening.com 808-205-9292
