WHAT IS A ‘Sacred Cacao Ceremony’

Over the past 20 years, Natalie has studied and worked with numerous healing modalities and consequently developed her unique style of supporting and empowering others in their healing journey.

She is a reiki master, body consciousness practitioner, access consciousness bars practitioner and facilitator, massage therapist and sacred cacao ceremony facilitator and trainer.

Natalie’s Sacred Cacao Ceremony Facilitator Training has just been approved by the International Institute of Complementary Therapies (IICT) in over 25 countries.

Two years ago, when Sacred Cacao called to her, she just could not get it out of her mind. She then began working with this divine plant medicine, and her own healing and spiritual growth expanded to a new level of awareness that she is truly grateful for each day. In ancient times, shamans, healers and medicine men/ women used Sacred Cacao in ceremonies, rituals and healings to connect with their gods, to offer thanks and to ask for blessings for marriages, births, successful crops, hunting and for healing their sick and injured.

The plant medicine was treated with respect, reverence and love. In modern times, anyone can use Sacred Cacao to connect with their higher self, their spiritual deity, and most importantly, to connect with their true self and purpose on Earth and as a powerful selfhealing tool. In Natalie’s Sacred Cacao Ceremony, she invites the plant medicine to work with each participant to connect with their hearts, souls and the subconscious places where trauma or pain resides. Using a combination of sacred breath work, sound healing, light language, song and hands-on energy practices, she supports and assists the emotional release of each participant.

When we work with Sacred Cacao, we are working with the ancestors of this powerful plant medicine, with our own ancestors and guides, and in the process, we may become aware of memories, thoughts and feelings that are ready to be released and healed, thus restoring the soul and heart to a peaceful balance.

Sacred Cacao is not just for those on a spiritual path; no experience is required to embrace your emotions and gently release them. She also works with corporate teams of men and women, who acknowledge that to move forward and excel in life, they have to let go of the baggage that is hidden inside them.
