Alli Fischenich
Depth Doula | Underworld Guide | Intuitive Mentor | Somatic Healing
A cookie-cutter life has never been for me. I’ve always gone against the stream, have wanted to find another way. My passion to help people didn’t come from going to school and learning about how to help people. It came from learning how to heal myself— to dive into my own depths, to face my own demons, to bring my shadows into the light. I have overcome a great deal of trauma and addiction and understand what wholeness is because of it. I have journeyed deep into Jungian Psychology, Tantra, and Somatic Healing and recognize the divine in me and all beings. I live for the liberation of all— helping others become freer in their skin. Depth is the antidote to being stuck in this superficial mask wearing, hyper-individualized society. You can connect with me on IG at @primordialmedicine
