Edie Stone, MA, LPC, is a soul-centered counselor, holistic psychotherapist, dreamweaver, and Heart-Vision Shamanic Journey guide. She has taught Celtic spirituality and Peruvian shamanism in Colorado and Wales. In her practice, Edie helps clients recover from trauma, reconnect soul-parts, and transform negative patterns into a healthy future. By respectfully following clients’ inner process, she has discovered deep connections between EMDR (a modern trauma treatment), Gestalt therapy, dreamwork, shamanic journeys, soul-retrieval, past-life therapy, and guided after-death communication. All of these modalities activate a natural healing state of mind-body awareness and soul-level integration.
