About Tending the Wells

In ancient stories, women were entrusted with the sacred duty of guarding the wells—the mystical source of life that held the secrets of existence. These well maidens nurtured the waters with reverence and offered a cup to weary wanderers in need of support. This sacred water was more than just a physical sustenance. It nourished the soul, and helped reconnect those who drank from it to the deepest truths of their being.

At Tending the Wells, we honor the well as a symbol of life’s most potent force—a conduit to the waters of remembrance. All parts of you are welcome and celebrated in this space. Here, healing flows freely, creativity thrives, and the spirit is renewed.

When we are fully resourced, meaning we are responding to the world from a balanced and healthy nervous system, we can more fully connect to our own truth. From this place, we can connect more deeply in our relationships and learn to grow through the obstacles and challenges that we encounter.

Welcome to the Wells ∞ I'm Christa

I'm a somatic therapist and coach, full spectrum doula, and writer. I have been working closely with women, families, and individuals, for over 20 years in many different forms using many different modalities. (I've learned over the years to embrace and celebrate my multi-faceted, multidimensional style)!

I consider myself a curious spirit and lifelong learner which has led me to obtaining a masters in social work as well as extensive training and certifications in yoga, coaching, birth, perinatal mental health, grief, trauma, energy healing, and astrology.

I created Tending the Wells as a container to support clients in delving deep so they can begin to uncover dreams and desires that are otherwise hidden. I'm well versed in the terrain of deep emotions, grief, and shadow, and my work with clients can help reveal new pathways for transformation and healing.

I especially love working with those in the process of major life changes. These transitions can offer some of the greatest opportunities for true growth and discovery. As a highly sensitive and intuitive spirit, I also specialize in working with other highly sensitive and creative individuals who are seeking a balanced and grounded approach for illuminating their unique gifts and abilities.

I'm inspired by story, myth, and metaphor, and I often like to use this language to help clients view their life story through a wider lens. This approach can create shifts and expansion in awareness and perspective.

Becoming our fullest selves is a journey of the soul: mythical, magical, transformative. It requires of us to surface from the depths of our psyches what we may not want to see, know or feel, what we may want to reject. It is precisely our hidden grief, unspoken rage, fear, longing and unknown joy that wants to know of us our courage.
