​Shadow Work & Past Life Regression

Shadow work is a technique developed to help you connect with the unconscious mind. The purpose of doing this is to bring unconscious thoughts, patterns, and behaviors into your unconscious awareness, where they can be healed and used as a catalyst for massive change. 

Past Life Regressions are a particular type of shadow work where the client heals from moments in their past. Other specialties within shadow work are womb work, ancestral healing, and inner child healing.

​Shadow Work Benefits:

• Lower anxiety
  • Shadow work overrides the ego mind, which is the force behind anxiety. With shadow work, your clinician will interrupt the subconscious feedback loop, an internal regulation system responsible for creating anxiety, and teach you how to overcome it for good.
• Decreased depression
  • Shadow work pinpoints the original moment that caused depression to root itself into the psyche. During a shadow work session, we re-wire that moment in time on multiple levels to release it's hold, which causes a ripple effect of healing. This is similar to pulling a weed out at the root.
• A feeling of euphoria and peace
  • After shadow work, clients feel like they have a deep understanding of their soul's journey, and often report feeling more at peace than they could ever have imagined.
• Better sleep
  • The process of getting into a deep, meditative state for shadow work is similar to what we experience as we drift off to sleep. With continued practice in shadow work, sleep becomes easier to come by. Not to mention, with decreased feelings anxiety and depression, once clients fall asleep they remain asleep, and wake up feeling well-rested and energized!
• Healing from PTSD
  • Shadow work rewires the mind, body, emotional system, and energetic system, re-writing each so that your traumas are no longer encoded the same internally. Doing this completely changes clients' relationship to the moment that caused their PTSD, which has a ripple effect of healing.

Jacky Giosso ​(virtual only)

Jacky is a psychic intuitive, certified trauma-informed shadow worker and witch who was born and raised in Philadelphia. Jacky’s goal is to help others realize that their trauma doesn’t have to continue to write their life story and that's what they were conditioned to believe. 
After experiencing a painful, life changing trauma of her own and letting it consume her life and health for the better part of a decade. She finally had enough and decided she wanted and deserved something different, better. While doing her own personal shadow work, diving deep into the dark abyss of self; she realized this was a huge part of how she was supposed to help others. A fire was ignited  inside her like never before paired with her forever appreciation of her darkside. The most life changing part for her was finally understanding that just because trauma and heartache happens to us, it doesn’t have to become who we are. It’s not our identity. 

Always being one to resonate more with the misunderstood, taboo and the land of the misfits; she knew that for the rest of her life she wanted to help people remember how important and powerful they are. To stop hiding or  holding shame around the part of yourself that once was forced  into the shadows, or burned at the stake. The part of you that once lit you up so brightly until you were called weird or crazy; the most special & dynamic part of yourself that's been hidden away for far too long. This is your story, it’s your choice to write it yourself or let someone  else do it for you. Tough chapters don’t have to create a bad book. How do you want your story to end? ​
