ARIEL HART, she/they/fae

I am a former LA/Seattle based energy worker, sound healing practitioner, yoga guide and artist. I currently reside in my home town, what we now call Portland, OR the traditional lands of the Cowlitz, Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, Tualatin Kalapuya, Wasco, Molalla, and Watlala bands of the Chinook. It is in deep gratitude and reverence the indigenous people who are the stewards of this earth I practice and live upon. Land acknowledgment does not serve as a replacement for returning resources to their care.

I call upon the sacred and magickal; holistic care for body/mind/spirit/energy. I consider myself an energetic intuitive who blends a variety of healing elements into my work. Tools such as mindfulness, reiki, sound/light healing, TRE, breathwork, visualization, plant and crystal medicine, Kriya yoga, therapeutic shaking, EFT, and intuitive alchemy. I weave these elements into sessions that rebalance/recharge the bodies natural healing abilities. This work is aligned with my deepest love and highest intention.

My style of yoga is energy centered.
I approach movement with curiosity and intention. Trauma can be stored in the body, in the form of energetic blocks; I use yoga (and other healing modalities) to help us release, heal and increase our mind body connection.
Meeting our practice with ease.
Meeting our body with love and awareness.

I took a course by Dr. Frantonia Pollins entitled "the evil behind your love and light," a 10-week examination of how the spiritual, health and wellness community has been whitewashed and how “New Age” spirituality is harmful to BIPOC (and ultimately, us all). This blew my world wide open as I started to have more awareness of how I benefit and have colluded with colonized systems of oppression. I am now committed student and accomplice of the decolonization movement through the work of my teacher Dra. Rosales Meza. I believe it is my (and all of our) duty to bring awareness to and dismantle any programming we carry that continues to propagate harm. If you are interested in decolonizing your mind and liberating your spirit please visit https://www.drrosalesmeza.com. This is the path to the New World, through collective healing and examination of our shadows.

I want my work to be accessible to all beings who feel called. I offer sliding scale and scholarships to BIPOC as a form of reparations and to those who are receiving state subsidized care. Please reach out if you need support!
