Embrace Ancestral Guidance for Healing and Self-Discovery

The Living Ancestor is a self-discovery practice where I work with women, specifically women of color, who see and want to change the brokenness in the world. I help them connect with the medicine of their ancestors to heal generational trauma and support them in using that medicine to go out into the world to impact others and contribute to human evolution.

Connect Deeper with Yourself

Are you seeking profound healing and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you?

With decades of therapeutic experience combined with ancestral insights, I help my clients tap into their ancestral gifts to heal generational trauma.

“I recently attended the Listening When Parts Speak – Legacy Burdens retreat. If you are reading this and want to address and start the legacy burden healing process, I encourage you to attend. Tamala provided a safe space that allowed me to lean on my trust of her and the community of women in order to receive my ancestors’ wisdom and heal a couple of legacy burdens.”

Theresa G.

“As a single woman in her mid-forties who had made up her mind to keep playing it safe and as a mid-career psychologist who questioned her next steps, this retreat has inspired, affirmed, and opened me up to dreaming possibilities and receiving abundance. May it continue to be so. Asé.”

Debbie-Ann C.

“At the onset of the retreat, I was ushered into a community of black women, and we were supported by Tamala in reverencing the dignity of our parts and each others’ parts and giving homage to the ancestors.”

“Tamala is a beautiful force of nature. And Jataunia is an amazing meditation coach.”

“I couldn’t have been happier with both Tamala and Jataunia! They are amazing wonderful women. Both so genuine and caring and they totally brought their best selves with all of their healing energy and ancestor wisdom. I can’t thank them enough!”
