My name is Kirin Sage. Since a young age, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the depth and sensitivity of my experience. Life has touched me on a visceral and existential level, and it has felt like everything has challenged and built me at my core. I remember feeling deeply unequipped in showing up in my fullness as a sensitive being. I’ve always had an undeniable authenticity, which carried with it the burden of learning to fit in a world that didn’t acknowledge some of my deeper needs, and the benefit of being required to get to know, support, and embody myself fully.

My path to self-acceptance and self-knowing has been an all-encompassing journey. As an early teen, I struggled deeply with my self-worth, body dysmorphia, isolation, shame, social anxiety, and complex emotional and mental conditioning (trauma). Not knowing how to handle my emotional distress or ask for help, I dedicatedly and independently fought to reclaim my sense of self-worth, safety, and belonging.

Through many years of immersive self-work; Vipassana meditations, attending men’s circles, breath-work ceremonies, reading countless psychological and spiritual self-help books, sitting in plant medicine journeys, attending group healing events, being in a committed partnership, and attending counselling school. The pieces eventually started to come together. Through a gradual process of learning, unlearning, and inner-shepherding, banished aspects of my heart and psyche have started to reintegrate, my body has started to soften, and my experience of life has started to present itself with more joy, innocence, and ease.

I embarked on this journey in the hopes of living free from inner turmoil, not knowing the expansiveness of my endeavor, or that this path would eventually transform me on the deepest level of my being. Though the journey is ongoing, I’ve grown to a place where my heart feels happy and light, where my sense of self-worth includes my weaknesses, where my relationships are healthy, and where a general sense of balance is present. I’ve developed a lot of wisdom, self-awareness, insight, and compassion along my journey. As well as; the skills of acceptance, vulnerability, compassion, communication, transformation, interoception, somatic awareness, emotional intelligence, interdependence, relationship, positive regard, and companioning. 

My journey to integration and self-love has been an immersive and personally transformational journey. It set off as a personal mission and resulted in a newfound way of life.

My purpose here is to assist people in contending with and integrating their deepest struggles and truths and to provide service on the journey toward living fulfilled, healthy, and balanced lives.
