Blessings!
My name is Sydney, and I am called to explore how we can heal, love, and liberate our relationships from the grip of domination consciousness.
I love Life. I am devoted to Life. And this relationship I have to the Life force within and beyond me is why I am compelled to serve in my being and doing.
Jivanmukta Healing and its philosophy was birthed from my own Creator-led journey of healing from the generational trauma of sexual and domestic violence. Beyond being work that "I" "do"- it is a path that I walk that is open to all who wish to walk alongside me.
I know the depths we must travel to unlearn, unravel and release the narratives, identities, and unprocessed pain woven by systems of domination.
I also know the infinite beauty of the Sacred that exists beyond domination consciousness and within us all.
If you are here, a part of you has already answered the call to become what lies beyond the lies domination consciousness depends upon.
It is my honour to walk alongside you as we remember.
May all beings benefit from the paths we walk in our shared remembrance of freedom.

My Story
I was always a creative, sensitive, and intuitive child who found deep comfort in communing with the Earth Mother. My earliest days were spent in conversation with plants, insects, and the elements, sensing the presence of something greater moving through it all. This ancient relationship with the living world was the first way the Divine introduced itself to me.
But over time, the weight of social conditioning encouraged me to silence this connection. By the age of eight, when my mother became financially dependent on a physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive man with white supremacist beliefs, I began to lose touch with my ability to listen, feel, create, and trust what I knew deeply within myself.
The sacredness I once perceived in all of Life - including myself - slipped from my awareness. My voice grew quiet beneath fear, survival, and inherited ways of relating that taught domination rather than love.
Yet even within this rupture, something in me was watching closely.
I began to understand that while laws could grant freedom on paper, they could not prevent the cycles of harm playing out in our homes, our relationships, and our communities. There are systems, yes—but they are maintained relationally through our conditioning under these systems.
This understanding became the seed of what I would later come to call domination consciousness : the internalized conditioning that recreates and reinforces systems of domination through the way we relate to ourselves, one another, and Life.
For many years, I lived inside inherited identities, narratives, and coping mechanisms that helped me survive the conditioning I had grown up within. They felt familiar. Necessary. Like the only reality I knew.
But in my early twenties, a significant trauma shattered the survival identity I had spent years constructing. What followed was a profound unravelling of the ways I had learned to survive and who I was taught to become.
Through powerful dreams and spiritual experiences, I was asked to turn toward the wounds, inherited beliefs, and relational patterns that had shaped my life and separated me from myself, from others, and from Life.
My path led me through deep encounters with grief, ancestral wounds, collective trauma, and the inherited identities survival had taught me to carry. As I slowly released layer after layer, my intuition sharpened, and my capacity to be present with Life and the cosmic hand that guides our lives deepened.
My path naturally called me toward practices that became foundational to my remembrance: somatic and narrative healing, devotional creativity, plant and herbal medicine, Yogic philosophy, energy work, and ecological ways of restoring harmony within ourselves, our communities, and the living world.
Over time, I began to understand something that now sits at the heart of my work:
Healing/Liberation begins within, but it spreads and changes culture through relational work.
As we unravel the conditioning inherited under domination, we become available to more life-honouring ways of loving, relating, creating, and living together. When we embody these freely, our culture will change.
The work I now share through Jivanmukta Healing arises from this mysterious and ongoing journey and inquiry.
Today, my work supports individuals and communities in unravelling the conditioning of domination consciousness and building the capacity to live, relate, create, and organize in ways that honour our shared Truth.
If something within you longs for more life-honouring ways of living, relating, and being human together, let us be in inquiry together.
It would be my deepest honour to walk beside you on this path of remembering.


Me with my initiatory herb and teacher - Motherwort. Our relationship is rooted in a wonderful story I share with those curious to know ;)
