Meet Geo
Spinal Flow Practitioner, Shamanic Practitioner, Spiritual Counselor, Grief Tender
Hi, I’m Geo. As long as I could remember, I have always been interested in the world of energy, healing and the great mystery of what lives beyond our eyes.
I have spent over two decades sitting with people in their most tender and sacred moments — in bodywork sessions, at bedside, in ceremony and in the quiet space between life, love and loss.
The work has taken many forms. Massage therapist, Energy Worker, Hospice Chaplain, Shamanic Practitioner, and now Spinal Flow Practitioner. But one truth has remained constant across every role:
People simply want to be deeply seen and understood on their journey to healing. Whether healing into death and what waited beyond, or helping someone finding their way to their most vibrant and healthy life, I am simply a facilitator, and there is always a greater intelligence present guiding the work.
I grew up in Connecticut and found my way to Colorado in my late twenties. I had been a massage therapist and energy worker for years along side working in home health care. Through a series of synchronistic events, I was lead into hospice work, into shamanic training and the study of grief as something sacred rather than something to be fixed. I spent a decade in the hospice field in Colorado, as a bodyworker, community liaison, in leadership, and as a chaplain providing spiritual care at end of life all the while deepening my roots further into shamanic practice and energy work.
That work shaped everything. It taught me that we are connected to so much more than our eyes can see and that the body holds more wisdom than most of us have been taught. When we trust and create the right conditions, it knows exactly what to do. That is both true in the dying process and in cultivating life. The intelligence is the same and it is ever present.
Spinal Flow wasn’t just something I found to offer others, but found me at exactly the right moment in my own healing journey…
In navigating an extreme and prolonged health decline due to B6 toxicity, spinal flow played an important role in bringing new levels of healing to my body. In a time of overwhelm and anxiety, its way of bypassing the mind and directly communicating with my nervous system was extremely helpful and profound. A wisdom beyond myself and the practitioner presented itself in each session showing me what my body was holding and what it was ready to release without me having to figure it all out myself. I continued the work. I felt the shifts energetically, physically, and saw evidence in what my body released physiologically. It was this health journey and not just my work history that taught me a lot about the grief and emotional impact of chronic illness. This is an important layer that often goes unspoken and unattended to.
I don’t just practice this work, I have lived it. To this day, I still utilize Spinal Flow for maintenance and to help manage the stress in my life.
My approach and what I believe…
Every modality I work with - Spinal Flow, Grief Tending, Shamanic Practice, Massage, is a vehicle. What I bring first is presence. A quality of attention shaped by over two decades of holding people at the edges of what is bearable and what is beautiful.
I believe we are spiritual, energetic beings having a human experience and life is a blessing. We are here to grow, to learn, to live and experience the full spectrum of human emotion and possibility. What is also true is life gets real, it can be hard, stress accumulates and we need support tending to our very human bodies.
Everything is connected. The life force flowing through you and me is the same life force flowing through the trees and the stars. That the universal intelligence inside every body moves always toward wholeness and that our work, together, is simply to remove what stands in its way. Not by force, but by being in relationship with.
Our nervous systems are the juncture where our physical bodies and that life force translate. Our bodies are wise, our bodies are clever and we can’t trick it into health. We need to include it, look to it and let it guide us.
This work combined with grounded, practical changes in our habits and beliefs can lead to positive and lasting change. In us, and in the world.
This work is personal, yes. And it’s also sacred activism for the collective.

Outside of the treatment room…
I am most alive when I am in nature, around animals (always my dogs), in a theatre, or on the streets of a Spanish speaking city. I love diving into conversations about spirituality and social change and of course silliness with friends is always the best medicine! As I promote with clients, I try to be mindful of filling my well in order to bring the best version of myself while serving others. Just like with my vocational work, I try to stay curious and allow myself to be surprised by the great mystery were all in together.
