No. Previous experience is not required.

What matters most is your willingness to approach this work with openness, personal responsibility, curiosity, and devotion.

Each experience is designed around your individual history, intentions, needs, and capacity. Participation in specific modalities is always subject to appropriate screening and informed consent.

Our work is intentionally intimate.

Depending on your chosen experience, our time together will include private mentorship, virtual sessions, in-person immersions, somatic exploration, womb-centered practices, ceremonial experiences, personal study, ceremonial preparation and integration.

Rather than following a rigid formula, we create a personalized experience that honors your intentions while allowing space for your needs to evolve.

Private immersions are held in Sedona, Arizona, surrounded by the sacred beauty of the desert.

The location and structure of each immersion are selected according to the nature of our work together.

Travel arrangements, accommodations, and other logistical details will be discussed before enrollment. Accommodations can be included in the financial investment with the higher tier option.

Depending on your intentions, suitability, and the offering you select, our work may incorporate:

• Trauma-educated somatic exploration and nervous system awareness

• Womb-centered and abdominal bodywork

• Ancestral exploration and ceremonial practices

• Traditional plant & amphibian medicine education and eligible ceremonial experiences

• Neural Organization Therapy / Brain & Nervous System Reorienting & other Somatic Medicine work

• Personal mentorship, reflective study, and devotional practices

Not every modality is appropriate for every individual. All practices are approached through informed consent, appropriate screening, and respect for your personal boundaries.

Athera's work is informed by an understanding of complex trauma, developmental wounding, dissociation, and the importance of relational safety.

Your history will be approached with sensitivity, respect, and an emphasis on choice. You will never be expected to disclose details of traumatic experiences or participate in practices that you do not consent to.

This work is not a replacement for psychotherapy, medical treatment, or specialized trauma care. We may recommend additional professional support when appropriate.

No.

Your autonomy remains central throughout our work together.

Every experience is approached individually, and participation in any particular practice depends on informed consent, screening, and suitability.

Depth is not measured by intensity. There is no expectation that you push beyond your capacity to demonstrate commitment. We always meet you where you are with opportunity to extend the 12 month timeframe.

These offerings are designed for women who are ready to prioritize themselves and make meaningful space for their personal development.

Your commitment will depend on the experience you choose.

The apprenticeship requires additional time for education, personal study, practical training, and business development.

Ancient Roots Medicine Work emphasizes personal exploration, private sessions, immersions, and integration into your existing life.

Specific schedules and expectations will be discussed during your consultation.

Regardless of which container is aligned for you, this work is a daily devotional practice. It is about creating a sustainable way of life.

Yes. These offerings are intentionally designed for women who may carry significant professional, family, or personal responsibilities.

Our work considers your existing commitments while inviting you to create genuine space for yourself.

The intention is not to add another obligation to an already demanding life, but to establish a meaningful commitment to your own development.

The space between immersions is an essential part of the experience.

Depending on your offering, this may include private virtual sessions, integration practices, educational materials, personal reflection, and mentorship.

Our intention is to support the integration of your experiences into everyday life rather than treating each immersion as an isolated event.

The apprenticeship provides individualized education, mentorship, and opportunities to develop your skills within the scope of the program.

Completion does not automatically confer a professional license, independent certification in every modality, or authorization to practice regulated activities.

Additional training, certification, supervision, or licensing may be necessary depending on your intended work and location.

These are intentionally limited offerings with only a total of four spaces in 2027 as these containers hold deep prayer and investment on both ends.

To preserve the intimacy, presence, and depth of our work together, enrollment is selective and dependent on availability and mutual alignment.

Each offering represents a substantial investment in personalized support, private immersion experiences, and dedicated mentorship.

Investment details, accommodation options, payment arrangements, and the specific inclusions of each experience are discussed during your private consultation. Keep in mind this is a high-level investment not only financially, but energetically, emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally.

MENTORSHIP $65,000

APPRENTICESHIP $77,000

The first step is to submit an application.

If your intentions appear aligned with the offering, we will arrange a private consultation to explore your needs, discuss the experience, and determine whether working together feels appropriate.

Enrollment is offered following this mutual assessment.

Your devotion begins with the decision to make space for yourself.
