My Story
I'm Cassie Jaravata — a shamanic practitioner, emotional integration coach, and registered nurse.
In 2017, I became unexpectedly ill with a severe condition called topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) that consumed my body, heart, and mind for 8 years. Every surface of my skin was raw and oozing. I couldn't work, go to school, or wear clothing without excruciating pain. The mental and emotional toll was just as devastating—depression, anxiety, and at times, suicidal thoughts.
I tried everything to heal my physical body: conventional medicine, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, IV ozone therapy, and years of celery juice and elimination diets. While these treatments helped temporarily, nothing created lasting change.
Then I discovered something that shifted everything: my body would never fully heal until I addressed what was happening in my heart and mind.
I learned to listen to my body—really listen. I learned to trust myself, even when the path forward was unclear. And I learned to sit with the darkness, which is the only way the light could find its way in.
This is when my physical healing truly began.
That experience became my initiation into the healing work I now share with others.
My training is rooted in the indigenous traditions of the Wixárika (Huichol) of Mexico, the Shipibo of the Peruvian Amazon, and the Indigenous Peoples of the Polynesian Islands. These ancient ways don't just inform my healing practice—they guide how I live, lead my relationships, and honor the wisdom of those who came before us.
I also work as a registered nurse specializing in neurology and end-of-life care, which deepens my understanding of the body, mind, and the sacred transitions we all navigate.
My Philosophy
Here's what I believe:
I am a healer, but I am not the one healing you. You are the one healing you.
My role is to be a neutral guide—to help you see the patterns, blocks, or blind spots that may be keeping you from your highest possibility. I'm here to witness, support, hold space, speak truth, and bring compassion and humor into the work.
But most importantly, my job is to get out of the way.
What I mean by this is to let my ego, my personality, and any need to fix or control step aside—so that something greater can move through. Maybe you call that higher power God, Spirit, the Universe, or simply the elevated version of yourself that's ready to emerge.
I am merely a conduit. A channel. A facilitator for your own healing to come through.
The wisdom, the answers, and the healing are all already available to you. I’m just here to help you tune in and listen.
If any part of my story or message resonates with you, I'd be honored to support your healing journey.
