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 deepened my meditation practice and began to listen to my intuition and my body. Over time, I began to sense the subtle communications of my inner world, followed by profound healing. It became my way of working with others, including animals. I learned to collaborate with ancestors, animal, plants and spirit allies in my healing work. This way, the healing work is woven in nature and 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, guide and restore your wholeness and well-being. My approach supports you in listening, following and trusting your body’s intelligence. This way your healing stays with you. It is a path of empowerment, presence, and remembering.
