Wellness Programs

HEAL WITH US. PRAY WITH US.

The journey to health is written on our hearts, in our DNA, in the faith of those that love us and can see our truest potential, even when we are blind to it ourselves. It is written in our spirits, encoded by the Creator, ensuring we are provided with the gifts, the talent, the power and the assistance needed to overcome obstacles on our joyous paths.

Wellness happens when we are in harmonious balance with our thoughts, feelings, bodies and spirits as well as our environment and others. When we are able to co-create healthy relationships, and contribute to our community in meaningful ways that fuel our gifts and passions, and when we feel connected to something greater than ourselves.

At Four Nations we offer a variety of creative avenues that support you in awakening to your most vibrant self.  We are here to serve during all of life’s most profound transformations!

Re-Indigenizing Ourselves: Advanced Decolonization for Indigenous People

This educational package takes Indigenous participants to a deeper level toward recovering themselves, communities and their nations from the impact of colonization. Colonization is a disease and for us to be able to recover from it as a People, we need to first engage in a process of diagnosing the depths of our individual and collective trauma. In this course, you will explore the ancient history of colonization on ancient European Earth-honouring cultures, and how they brought those violent and oppressive practices to Turtle Island and its First Peoples.

After unpacking these concepts, discover what decisions and actions you can take today for the healing of your cultural identity, fostering forgiveness of yourself and others, and you will learn how to help cocreate a better world, for not only humanity, but for All Life. Full syllabus available HERE

Audience Pre-Requisites

This educational package is directed toward Indigenous people from Turtle Island who have moved past the introductory levels of their own decolonization journey and want to delve into their process a little deeper.
Participants are expected to enter this online Zoom classroom and be able to share a live online group space, and have good management of self, and personal emotional triggers in a group setting. Registrants will be interviewed to help ensure that this program is a good fit for their current stage in their healing journey.

Individualized Healing Sessions with Kathryn McCooeye:

Identifying Your Path Of Destiny

Do you forget who you are and what you’re here to do? Let us help you move more into alignment with the Creator,  illuminating the Path before you; and awakening your Sacred Purpose for being here. Join us on this exciting journey!

Soul Fragment Retrieval– calling our spirits back

When we experience trauma of a physical or emotional nature, very often small fragments of our spirit splinter and break away. We feel as though we have lost a part of ourselves.

It is much like a computer losing a software program, in that we lose some of our power, memories, knowledge and health. Kathryn is trained to sing back the lost soul fragments and reinstate them back into the body in a healed state.

Intrusive Energy Extraction

Dense or heavy energies can sometimes intrude upon our Luminous Body (auric field) and chakras. These energies are often aspects of deceased relatives or friends who are stuck between the worlds and have attached to a loved one because they don’t know how to get Home.

Other energies can be less benevolent than a lost relative and can cause us great suffering in our minds, bodies and spirits. Kathryn is trained to extract these types of energies in a gentle, compassionate manner.

Energetic Self Care and Spiritual Protection or Healers, Community Service Workers and Caregivers

Those of us working in the service industries require constant and effective self-care in order to prevent illness and burn-out. Cleansing the Luminous Body and chakra system revives our physical energy level as well as restoring our natural, resilient emotional buoyancy. We are again able to feel joy, inspiration and hope for the future. It is our sacred responsibility to our clients to take care of ourselves, and we all need help with it. Book a group workshop for your workplace or friends.

Matter = Energy! Does energy affect the physical body? You bet!

Testimonials:

“Kathryn brings to us ancient  healing interventions, born in the rainforests and mountains of her indigenous teachers. She adds to this knowledge, a good dose of human compassion, humility and humour.”

“When I first came to see these two Medicine Women, I had just had a heart attack and my doctor said I was poised for another one. Within five sessions my doctor instructed me to go off my heart medication and get on with my life!”

“My life had no reason; no purpose. I had lost sight of who I am and what I’m here to do. I felt so lost and worthless.  Working with Kathryn and Jessica, I recaptured parts of me that I had long forgotten existed…passionate, creative parts of me that love life. My life is now so full and rich with a renewed sense of self value, sacred purpose & meaning!”

Online Healing Our Pain Group Program
(Customized for Your Nation)

8 week online Indigenous healing program, where participants meet once a week for 3 hours via Zoom or in person. A Nation’s Health and Wellness Centre can contract us to customize this content specifically your Nation and members. Participants will learn principles and practices of ancient Indigenous Ways of Knowing, exploring the commonality of healing practices of Indigenous peoples around the world. Traditional healing knowledge that is specific to each host nation (that purchases this educational package) may be presented by their own Elders and traditional Knowledge Keepers. In addition, the host Nation will be supported in embedding their own language into the class curriculum.

Using a virtual hands-on teaching model, participants will create one medicine tool per class:

  • Learn how to make your own cedar smudge stick
  • Construct a leather medicine bag
  • Carve and decorate your own cedar prayer/intention stick to help manifest your good prayers
  • Create charcoal/salt bundle with which to wipe the heavy energy of grief off yourself and family members
  • Experience increased positive self-esteem around being an Indigenous person
  • Learn about plant medicines to boost immune systems and prevent flus and colds
  • Learn quantum(spiritual) principles to manifest a healthy and good life for yourself and family

This healing program focusses on cultural and language reclamation as a foundation thru which to help heal individuals, communities and nations. While we deal with serious issues in this program, we also share laughter, stories and mutual encouragement while working to change our lives. Cultural and personal pride replace shame and has been proven to help diminish and prevent:

  • Addictions
  • Self-harm and Suicide
  • Domestic violence
  • Poverty
  • Family/Community conflict
  • Disease stemming from poor diet and substance abuse
  • Help people dealing with chronic or long-term health issues

While we deal with serious issues in this program, we also share laughter, stories and mutual encouragement while working to change our lives.

Testimonials for Jessica Bamford’s private healing services:

“First off thank you so much for the beautiful work that you do and for holding the space. I am feeling SO much better today. And have already been so productive. I feel way lighter and in tune and it feels great!!  You have an incredible sense as to what needs to be worked on and shifted and you so beautifully hold the space for all of the necessary transformation to take place. Thank you so much ❤ I really honour you and your work and am so grateful for the transformation unfolding in my life because of it.”- Anya

“Thank you Jessica for all you have done for me. I am feeling very good. My feet are feeling grounded. My legs are feeling stable. My womb is empty of worry. My heart is feeling love. My lungs and throat are breathing open and clear and my mind is feeling peace. It’s been a very long time since I have felt many of these emotions. I am embracing them. Thank you.” -Past Client

“Jessica, I just wanted to say to you again, that I so appreciate all of your insight, wisdom, and skills. I felt so pleased and uplifted when I got home from the session!   You are compassionate,  unique and one of a kind in what healing you have to share with people like me who are seeking answers.  It feels deeply spiritual and is unlike any other healer I have seen or heard of.”  –Gloria

“Thank you for today.  I just want to laugh and laugh and thought I’d share that with you.” -Past Client

“I just have to tell you, I’ve had some major moments of realizing future possibilities already, and I just left your place an hour ago!! The first was pretty immediate after our session. I had an overwhelming sense of a whole new reality, full body chills, total freedom from my past and excitement for the freedom of my future … A future fulfilling my souls goals and dreams. Not much later, I started signing along to a love song I’ve sang many many times. But instead of singing it to that ‘other person’ I sang it to MYSELF! whoa! What revelation! lol 🙂 Things are very obviously coming together – I mean, I know you knew that, but I just wanted to share some of the  synchronistic “Ah Ha’s” taking me further down my authentic path. And I want to thank you again, from the bottom of my heart and soul for leading me back to that path. YOU ARE AWESOME! … And all your Spirit Guides and Helpers too, to them I also send my greatest gratitude.” -Kari

PS – I am in a zone of celebration and I imagine you are too – because I know you invest as much or more than your clients into the work you do with them. I also imagine you hold confidentiality high on the list of ethics in your work. But I just want to say, in the name of celebrating, today & in the future to benefit others, you have my permission to share my story. Namaste Jess Wow what shifts! Could not have done it with you and your team (the spirits)! Words cannot say my gratitude!” -Steph

“Jessica has an incredible sense of what needs to be worked on and shifted and so beautifully holds the space for all of the necessary transformation to take place.”  -Past Client
