welcome to
a little room for
healing
Currently in L.A.
I’m Joel.
I’m a nomadic medicine man and steward of a little room for healing.
I travel around the country spreading healing through laughter, presence, curiosity, storytelling, energy healing, plant medicine, and a podcast.
People often travel the world to find themselves.
I’m inviting you to do it by traveling within yourself.
I’ve dedicated myself to that journey.
I’m here to help you on yours.

Throughout my personal healing journey I have come to cherish one thing above all else -safety. Without it we are unable to sit compassionately with the wounds we aim to heal. Cultivating a safe environment to do deep work is paramount in our work together. I approach each client with deep presence and judgment-free curiosity that allows them to authentically engage with their trauma on an emotional, energetic, and physical level.
Healing is my passion, and in order to do it authentically with others, I continue to actively engage with my own healing journey. I work with a therapist, shamans, plant medicine, energy healers and authentic communities to keep learning and healing.
I offer guidance on how to be present with your own intense feelings and blockages. This provides healthy movement of energy. Releasing this energy from its frozen state back into your system opens up the space for new insights and awareness. The body knows what it needs. We only need to listen. By combining energy healing with somatic attunement and genuine presence and curiosity, deep healing can occur.
I am attuned to the Usui system of Reiki and 13th Octave LaHoChi. I have years of experience holding space for deep healing, and I incorporate Somatic Attachment Therapy in my sessions.
When you create a little room for healing in your life magical things happen. It would be a joy to be a part of your journey.

Listener Review

the journey back to
yourself
I think of healing as the journey back to yourself. Throughout life we have become separated from ourselves through trauma, indoctrination, unhealthy self talk, and stories based in fear. I see healing as walking toward those things with an open heart and an intention of integrating what we have built shame around. Healing is feeling everything, allowing the scary things to be experienced in full, learning how to hold yourself and love yourself the way you may not have received when you were younger. Healing is embracing the shadow parts as well as the light parts. Healing is becoming whole. It's not an easy journey. It is a fulfilling one. I’m here to help you learn how to love yourself to wholeness.
the tools
-
Receive a reiki session. I’ll work with you to unblock stuck energies and provide restful healing. We’ll talk about any feelings, sensations, visions, or experiences that may arise. The more we practice putting into words our experience and feelings, the closer we get to ourselves. Leaving space for the experiences where words are not needed. Those are important, too.

90 min remote: $77
30 min remote (no discussion after): $33
-
Energetic acupuncture. Reset the system, move big blocks, connect with the divine and be held by angels. You may fall into a deep rest during this session. We’ll talk about your experience to build your connection to the journey.

Work with powerful plant spirits to delve into a deeper connection with yourself. Through intentional work you’ll explore your light, your shadow, your trauma, and your universe. I'll be your support and guide as you build a profound relationship with all you are and work to clear what no longer serves you through acceptance, experiencing the full feeling and release.
-
Develop a healthy relationship with your inner children. Learn to identify the moments when an inner child is in the driver seat, how to communicate with them, find out what they need, and re-parent so they feel seen and heard.
This work may come up in our energy healing or plant sessions.
-
Learn to identify the many parts that make up your ecosystem. We all have parts that work to cause conflict within us. As we understand the intention of these parts we can have a better understanding of ourselves as a whole.
This work may come up in our energy healing or plant sessions.
testimonials

“I've been a Reiki Master for the last few years and have been treated by a variety of practitioners as I am also a massage therapist and trade frequently with others. My treatment with Joel was nothing short of powerful. He held the space with reverence that sent me into a hypnogogic state within minutes. As the treatment progressed, I felt several sets of hands healing me as if the archangels themselves came to hold me where I lay. I left feeling in a healthier mindspace free of stress and worry. The treatment was professionally performed. This is not conventional energy work, strongly recommended.”

“I've gotten reiki from Joel a few times and I have left every session feeling cared for and understood. Joel's little room for healing is such a relaxing space and I love the essential oils he uses. I can feel how much Joel cares about helping people heal, and I have appreciated how thoughtful he is around safety and consent with touch.”

“I met Joel at a healing retreat. While I was vaguely aware that he was a Reiki practitioner, it was my impression his role there was as a facilitator. I unearthed many disturbing, extremely painful – both physically and mentally – revelations at this retreat. Joel was exceedingly helpful as a facilitator. At some point he suggested a treatment. I had tried Reiki decades ago and found it useless. I had no sense of whether I simply wasn’t the kind of person on whom that sort of treatment worked, or if the practitioner was a fraud.
I can now say unequivocally, Reiki does work on me, and Joel most definitely has a gift. Without being overly dramatic, I can attest that the first treatment during the day was the major impetus for me to pull myself together enough to keep going with the work I needed to do during the retreat. The second treatment that lifted the excruciating physical pain I was feeling enough so that I was able to rest and calm myself to face the next day. The following morning, I awoke - shockingly – PAIN FREE.
Whatever your pain is – mental, physical, spiritual, I have to think Joel can help you. I definitely think, especially if you are as skeptical as I was, you should give him a try.”
— Jo S.

Whether you are in need of a one off energy healing session or you want to go deeper, I’m here for you. For energy healing, reach out and we’ll find a time that works.
Should you wish to do deeper work, we’ll start with a phone call to connect and feel into whether or not we are a good fit. Email me to set up a time.
Because I may be on the move it’s easier to coordinate a session this way than to just have an appointment calendar. Thanks for understanding.
