About Me
Marion Segal
My life has been a transformative journey of healing. I am grateful for the unwavering love, teachings and support that I received from my friends, family members and mentors.
My roots come from Ukrainian and Latvian Jewish lineages. My practice is grounded in daily meditation, attunement to the natural world, and the teachings of elders and mentors who shaped my spiritual path — Julieta Cazimiro, Malidoma Patrice Somé, Anam Thubten, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Greg Booi, Shirley Dvir and many more.
I hold an MA in Depth Psychology and Spirituality from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I began my PhD work. My certifications are in Creative Arts Therapy and Reiki, and my training includes the Hakomi Method, Somatic Experiencing, Relational Somatic Healing, Bioenergy Balancing, Nonviolent Communication, Narrative Healing and Sound Healing.
My healing path began during a period of chronic physical illness. After years of struggling with symptoms, I turned away from Western medicine and toward the intelligence of my own body. Through daily meditation and quiet listening, I began to sense the subtle communications of the inner world. In this receptive state, profound healing emerged and extended to loved ones, including animals..
With time, I connected with other forms of consciousness such as ancestors, plants and spirit allies in my healing work. Their support is woven into my life, and is grounded in an ancient, relational web of life.
Although I do not identify as a shaman, the essence of this tradition resonates in my practice. Each session is a sacred journey — an act of listening, attuning, and honoring the innate healer within you. I do not claim to heal others. Instead, I create a grounded, compassionate space where your own wisdom and healing capacity can emerge, move, and restore your well-being in its own timing.
My approach supports you in reconnecting with, trusting and following your body’s intelligence. This way the healing continues beyond our sessions. It is a path of empowerment, presence, and remembering.
