About Me
Marion Segal
My life has been a tapestry of both hardship and beauty, a long and transformative journey of self-healing. I am grateful for the unwavering love of people and animals in my life who taught me about love and trust.
My roots come from Ukrainian and Latvian Jewish lineages that continue to guide my inner life. My practice is grounded in daily meditation, attunement to the natural world, and the teachings of elders and mentors who have shaped my spiritual path — Julieta Cazimiro, Malidoma Patrice Somé, Anam Thubten, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, and Greg Booi.
I hold an MA in Depth Psychology and Spirituality from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I am currently a PhD candidate. My training also includes certifications in the Hakomi Method, Somatic Experiencing, Relational Somatic Healing, Creative Arts Therapy, Bioenergy Balancing, Reiki, Nonviolent Communication, 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 living world — the elements, plants, animals, and crystals. In this receptive state, profound healing emerged, first within me, and then naturally extended to loved ones, including animals, and eventually the clients I now support.
As I continued to surrender to this inner guidance, I became aware of ancestors and spirit allies offering their presence. Their support is woven into my work, grounding it 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 can emerge, move, and restore your well-being in its own timing.
My approach supports you in reconnecting with your inner authority, trusting your body’s intelligence, and continuing your healing beyond our shared sessions. It is a path of empowerment, presence, and remembering.
