Meet Isabel

Threshold Tender • Energy Worker • Plant Spirit Guide

I was eight years old when I saw my first spirit.

My grandfather was dying of cancer, cared for at home by my grandmother, a nurse. The house was quiet, reverent—the air full of something I didn’t yet have words for. I remember walking into his room and feeling it: soft presences tending to him, unseen but unmistakably there. I didn’t understand it then, but now I know I was witnessing the threshold. That liminal space between here and there. That holy moment of crossing.

That experience planted something deep in me.

I didn’t know how it would bloom. But over the years, moments kept calling me back—watching a dear friend scramble to organize her mother’s funeral with no space to grieve. Seeing how so many people die in sterile places, disconnected from spirit, community, and comfort. Witnessing loved ones—and myself—navigate grief, identity loss, and transition without a hand to hold.

And then I lost myself, too.

I spent so much time worrying about everyone else that I forgot how to honor my own needs. I was stuck in what I called the “spin” cycle—exhausted, burnt out, and quietly breaking down. I kept projecting this image of perfection to the world while inside, I was miserable. I longed for rest, but when I finally paused, I wasn’t sure who I was without the doing.

I wondered what even brought me joy?

That question led me back to what had always brought me home: Energy work. The garden. Sitting in community with our women. Herbalism. Listening deeply. Reclaiming my voice.

In the midst of a deep depression, I quit my job with no plan in sight. People around me questioned, “What’s going on with you?” But something had cracked open. I couldn’t live for others anymore. I began to work with healers and my mentors. I walked with my shadow. I remembered who I was underneath the noise. I learned how to say no. How to set boundaries. How to come home to myself.

And now, I hold space for others do the same.

Rooted in Spirit and Earth

My work is a weaving of many threads:

  • The folk wisdom of my Spanish, Irish, and Scottish ancestry

  • The medicine of plants, who have always spoken to me

  • The rhythms of nature, which guide how I live and serve

  • The sacred cycles of death, rebirth, and everything in between

I walk with others through life’s thresholds—with reverence, compassion, and presence. Whether you're facing the death of a loved one, the unraveling of an old identity, or the quiet ache of burnout or change, I hold space for you to be met in it all. To feel seen, softened, and supported.

Path of Study & Devotion

My journey has been shaped by formal study, lived experience, and deep listening:

  • Herbalism Roots graduate (2014) with over a decade on the plant path, making medicine for the heart, body, and soul

  • Over 6 years of energy work practice, creating restorative spaces for clarity and reconnection

  • Death Doula training with the Deathwives, echoing the teachings of my own near-death experiences

  • 2+ years volunteering in hospice, offering intuitive care and sacred presence at life’s edge

  • 15+ years of ancestral healing, mending threads and honoring the resilience, wounds, and wisdom of my lineage

  • Ongoing mentorship with my teachers

But my deepest education has come from listening:
To the dying.
To the plants.
To my ancestors.
To the voice within.

What I Believe

Grief is sacred.
Rest is sacred.
You are sacred.

We were never meant to do this alone. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. There is support for what you’re holding.

Whether you are in the in-between, the unraveling, or the becoming—I’m here to walk beside you.

My Work Today

I am a Reiki Practitioner, Intuitive Tarot Reader, Threshold Doula and Folk Herbalist, weaving ancestral wisdom with earth-centered spiritual healing to support transformation, transition, and reclamation.

In our sessions, I hold space for what wants to be seen, felt, and released. I use tools such as:

  • Energy balancing

  • Plant spirit medicine and herbal support

  • Ancestral healing and past life integration

  • Intuitive channeling and deep energetic listening

Together, we bring balance back to your nervous system, help you hear your own voice again, and guide you back to the truth of who you are.

Healing isn’t about fixing.
It’s about remembering.
Returning.
Re-rooting into your essence.

What I Offer

Whether you’re navigating grief, change, or a deep desire to reconnect with yourself, I offer a sacred space to be held. A space to remember that you are not alone. And a path to come home—again and again—to yourself.
