Plant spirit therapy

With Jamie Fiorucci, LMSW

In Geologic time, during the Ordovician period around 400 million years ago, the first primitive plants began to appear on land. 

Plants have always had a profound relationship with humans. Our methods of connection may look different than our ancestors but we still utilize plants for spiritual development today. Many medicinal plants are tinctured, formed into essential oils through a distillation process, essences, and teas. These plants, the ones we return to repeatedly, are often plants we have gained benefit from or like the way they smell or taste.

Plant Spirit Therapy offers another way to connect with Plants, that goes deeper than store-bought tea and processed oils.

I cultivated my expertise in spiritual plant knowledge during my studies with Plant Mentor, Pam Montgomery. I combined my skills as a Licensed Therapist with the teachings from my time at the Partner Earth Education Center to facilitate an innovative process that collaborates with plants for healing.

I partner with common Elder plants (plant species with ancient roots) found growing in our local gardens, backyards, and parks.

In my plant spirit therapy process, I will teach you how to develop a deep relationship with a chosen plant or tree. These can be one of the plants I have personally bonded with, learned from and found a deep spiritual connection. My plant allies are: Elder (also known as Elderberry), Valerian, Lady’s Mantle, Dandelion and Rose. 

You may also learn how to choose your own plant or tree ally. I will guide you through therapy-focused personal and spiritual development, as we collaborate with a plant or tree ally as an anchor for self-reflection and teachings. 

*ally is a term to describe a close relationship with a plant, similar to a close friend
