Renee BIO

Through our Trauma-Responsive Holistic Resources, we address barriers to access, barriers of participation, and barriers to education. We all have a right to heal, no matter where we are, where we have been, or where we come from. This work can reach all people, in all places. Our goal is to have this information available to all that desire a positive change in their lives.

Each of us has our own unique gifts. I am a healer and educator; my gift is healing and teaching self-love. 

My modalities are all holistic and deeply rooted in Native American teachings. My holistic healing practice has been created through many years of education, instruction, self-study, healing, sacred teachings, and research. I am avid in healing, mindfulness, reiki, yoga, running, cross-training, qigong, hiking, biking, educating, research, furthering education, sweat lodge ceremonies, pow wows, beading, exploring nature, retreats, and protecting Mother Earth.

I am in a unique place to accommodate and relate to almost anyone. I have been addicted to alcohol, hard drugs, nicotine, caffeine, binging food, bulimia, battered woman syndrome, homeless, suicidal, self-loathing, depression, anxiety, and more. I became an abuser, an obsessive-compulsive controller, a martyr, and a victim. I struggled through all of those lifestyles, never finding true relief or joy. 

My life was too much, I couldn't go on, so I stopped drinking and doing drugs. I was clean and sober for over a decade but still was not comfortable in my own skin. I  knew I was searching for something; I just wasn't sure what that was. A defining moment in my life occurred when I realized that I could be whole by truly loving and accepting myself and all my flaws. Pure love and complete acceptance without creating my identity in the damage that had occurred. I just didn't know how to get to that place. I now know that everything I needed was inside of me all along. It was a matter of peeling back the layers of dysfunction that I had built over the years, reprogramming, and integrating my heart and mind.

This process led to the creation of my company, Sacred Sol Healing Institute^®(SSHI), and our Trauma-Responsive Holistic Services and Resilience Resources. These services and resources have allowed myself and thousands of others to lead healthy, cohesive, balanced lives with lasting results. 

This journey was such a frustrating, difficult, painful, profound, and powerful experience. I knew these tools needed to be accessible to all. I have dedicated my life and practice to education and studies in this pursuit. I am here to share the ultimate goal and ways to achieve that!

Ultimate goal: To love yourself fully and completely. This doesn’t mean we become perfect; it means we are able to face our challenges in grace and love. We learn from where we’ve been and choose to move forward in a different way. We release ego, judgment, grief, guilt, shame, and fear; this is not who we are, just where we’ve been. We are not our trauma; we are not our pain; we are not our actions. 

Our actions and behaviors can shift and change as we learn. We move forward in discernment, knowing right from wrong. As we shift our perception, our perspective will change. When we are able to view ourselves in a positive light, the rest of the world around us shifts to mirror that positive vibration. 

You are the miracle you’ve been looking for. It starts with you. Reprogram to a Positive Self-Belief System. 
You are not alone. Everything you need is already inside of you. “Heal Ourselves, Heal The World^®”
