Loraine Van Tuyl, PhD, CHT

Hello! I'm honored to offer my guidance in this forum and sincerely hope that it will help you BE (a) WELL so that your wellspring of self-love, wholeness and health spills over with light, wisdom, and gifts to share with everyone around you. I'm a holistic psychologist, shamanic Depth Hypnosis practitioner, dynamic speaker, WomanSpeak leader, and award-winning author of Amazon Wisdom Keeper: a Psychologist’s Memoir of Spiritual Awakening. I believe that the most effective way to heal and renature our spiritually-arid, denatured patriarchal world is to excavate and support women’s deep wells of wisdom, dreams, and game-changing missions. My two-decade devotion to awakening fierce, wise women has led to the empowerment of hundreds of trailblazers in psychology, holistic health, academia, the arts, social justice and entrepreneurship. My work has appeared in Thrive Global, Elephant Journal, Rebelle Society, and Byrdie. I have presented and provided trainings to master- and doctorate level therapists and healers at the UC Berkeley Counseling Center, the American Center for the Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, and the Native American Health Center. I've enjoyed proving meditations and guidance as a guest expert for numerous podcasts, radio shows, and women’s groups nationwide.
