Reiki by Lindsey is offered every Tuesday evening from 5-8pm by appointment only. Please email Lindsey at lindspeck7@gmail.com to schedule.
About Lindsey’s Practice:
With reverence for the ancient wisdom of Reiki, Lindsey dedicates her practice to empowering individuals on their journey of self-actualization, spiritual awakening, and autonomy. Her compassionate approach addresses the intricate web of physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances, including:
- Chakra alignment and clearing
- Release of stored trauma
- Muscular tension and pain relief
- Anxiety and depression support
- Headache alleviation
- Comfort during times of discomfort
What to expect in a session:
I will talk with all my clients before the session explaining what Reiki is and the guides I work with. I’ll inquire with my clients about any specific areas that need attention and what they’re hoping to achieve and/or relieve from our work together. For those unsure of what’s needed, I’ll lead them intuitively and help guide them every step of the way. I often like to incorporate the assistance of essential oils if the client is comfortable with fragrance. Sometimes if it’s quiet, I’ll feel called to play certain sound frequencies. My client’s comfort and positive experience are important to me. Therefore, I always follow my client’s lead on how much verbal interaction they desire throughout our time together. It’s common for clients to fall asleep on the table while receiving Reiki.
Rates, Payment & Sliding Fee Options:
It’s most common for clients to book 1 hour sessions but I can also accommodate 30 of 90 minute bookings as well.
30 minutes: $45
60 minutes: $90
90 minutes: $135Payments can be made via cash or Venmo @Ljp712
If for any reason you cannot afford my standard rates, please inquire about my sliding fee option and we can chat about what’s within your budget. Being accessible to ALL is of utmost importance to me while working in the community.

Shamanic Stretch is a self-care, therapeutic movement class designed to help you connect with your most Natural Self. In this class we’ll explore how to listen to the body and intuitively give into what it's craving through deep stretching, self-massage, breathwork, sound healing, and ecstatic-somatic movement. This class will provide you with a safe container to remember what it means to be wild, free, and fully embodied. The practice itself is guided but very much self-led as far as the quality and intensity of activity. Think of this experience as a "Choose Your Own Adventure Story". Shamanic Stretch is for ANY BODY, ALL genders, ages 18 and up. Movements and stretches can easily be modified for anyone with injuries or physical limitations.
About Your Host: Ida Cavewoman, is a Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner, Breathwork Facilitator, and a Massage Therapist of over 20 years. To learn more about Ida’s work, visit www.IdaCavewoman.com.

Wyrd Witch 101 is an ongoing Women's Learning Circle for individuals wanting to initiate or deepen their relationship to Witchcraft. Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, you'll have the opportunity to explore, share, ask questions, experiment, play, and practice in an intimate setting with magical sisters. The 1st Friday will be held in SE Portland, while the 3rd Friday will be held in Gladstone. The intention is to create a container where all participants can express their unique gifts and delve into creating meaningful, lasting, and authentic personal practices, so that their magic may flourish and weave naturally into everyday life.
Each gathering will start off with an "emptying of baskets" where we personally express what we've been feeling lately and what our current emotional, spiritual, and mental landscape looks like. Within this sharing we witness our sisters and learn how to be of support, comfort, encouragement, and accountability to our fellow Witches . We'll then collectively pick a magical topic or two to discuss followed by some guided instruction and exploration of said topic.
We'll deep dive into practices such as: creating rituals, spellcrafting, enchanting, grounding, clearing, protection, manifesting & visioning, altar tending, divination & scrying, working with the elements, connecting with our guides and ancestors, celebrating the turning of the wheel & seasonal practices, how to work with deities, embodiment, deepening our connections with plant, animal, and nature spirits...and much, much MORE.
About Your Host: Ida is an American born, Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner who practices the Scandinavian magical lineage known as Trolldom. She is a well-seasoned Witch whose magic is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and Scandinavian folk traditions. Her ancestors hail from Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, and Poland.
Even though Ida leans heavily towards her Norse side, she has a knack for connecting others to their very own unique and diverse lineages and traditional practices. She believes that there's much to be learned within our bone memory and the powerful folk medicine that our great grandmothers used and trusted. One of her many passions is to spark other women to rekindle their roots while fully embracing their authentically Wyrd Witch. To learn more about Ida’s work, visit www.IdaCavewoman.com.
What to Bring: A snack to share, a journal, and backjack or floor cushion.
When: 1st & 3rd Fridays from 7-9pm

Something to Ponder: Across all cultures, there was a time when we made music for one another, moved and danced for one another, more often than not, for the sake of healing and deepening our spiritual connection. When we bring in the energy of live music and sound alongside our journey practice, we remember.
The Shamanic Sound Journey experience is an opportunity to be immersed in live music; Rhythmic drumming, rattles, bells, and vocals, with the intention of entering an altered state of consciousness known as the ‘Shamanic State of Consciousness (SSC). This meditative trance state can range from very light to very deep and anywhere in between. It can be as light as a daydream, something that we can easily snap out of, to something so deep that we temporarily step out of ordinary reality. In this journey session, we’ll drop our stories, open ourselves up to the great mystery, and allow ourselves to take a ride.
What to Expect: This practice can be done completely still, seated or lying down comfortably. Some may find that allowing rhythmic movement like rocking, jostling, or shaking can help bring you into the SSC. While this will be a floor based practice (not standing), you will be free to move through any positions that feel supportive to you and your process, ie; seated on your bum, seated on your knees, being on all fours, or laying down in any position. As in many of my classes, you have the power to choose your own adventure, and I encourage you to trust the wisdom of your body throughout this experience.
Previous Experience: While no experience is necessary, it can be helpful if you already have an existing journey or meditation practice in place. If you don’t, this may feel a bit foreign at first but with consistency, dropping in will get easier over time. Alternatively, even if this work is completely new to you, it could feel like the most natural thing you’ve ever done! You just never know until you jump in.
If you already have an active meditation or shamanic journey practice in place and you’ve never experienced these practices under the influence of live music, get ready! On a personal level, I believe there are many ways to achieve the SSC state and I ask you to trust your own intuition. I invite you to bring along any tools and techniques that already work for you in your current practice.
Itinerary: The night will start off with some gentle movement, stretching, and breathwork as we get acquainted with one another and feel into the community dynamic. The sound journey itself will last roughly an hour, leaving us with thirty minutes of group integration time to connect and share before releasing the container.
About Your Host: Ida is an American born Trollkvinna who practices the Scandinavian system of magic known as Trolldom. Her medicine is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and European folk traditions. To learn more about how you can work with Ida, visit [www.IdaCavewoman.com](http://www.idacavewoman.com/).
What to Wear: Comfortable clothing that allows full body range of motion. Layers are good for temperature fluctuations as are socks or slippers.
What to Bring: Yoga mats, blankets, and eye masks are provided. Please bring anything else you need to feel comfortable for an extended time laying on the floor such as extra padding, pillows, or bolsters. If you like to journal, bring one.
