weaving loss into life
One-On-One
Sometimes we benefit from the training, guidance, and support of healers. Seeking this out is wisdom in and of itself.
Here are some sources we at The Grief House return to again and again. We hope the caregivers we’ve found for ourselves can serve as guides as you find what you need wherever you may be.

I began my working career as an ICU nurse in 2005. After working full-time for almost 10 years, I decided to pursue music professionally, and graduated with a degree in cello performance from Portland State University in 2014. I continue to practice part-time as an ICU nurse and perform as a cellist.
Four years ago, my path led me to energy healing and vibrational healing work. Our thoughts, our feelings, our bodies, the world around us; all of it is vibrating. Through intentional and thoughtful exploration, sound healing can provide powerful emotional and physical restoration. The cello is well-known for its wide range of sonority, from the lowest to the highest registers, which makes it a powerful tool for accessing and matching the vibrations of the human body.
My primary areas of expertise are grief, death and dying. I believe strongly in empowering others to explore the depth of the human experience, especially the emotions and feelings we are so often taught to push away. By embracing the full range of the human experience, grief can be processed and integrated, and our own mortality can be faced openly and even joyfully.
Cello sound healing can be helpful in many areas, and I encourage you to reach out if there is something on which you'd like to consider working together. Grief is broad - there is no right or wrong source and no statute of limitations.
I look forward to walking with you on your journey!

I am a flower farmer, florist, licensed massage therapist and esthetician. I graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2010. In 2012, I packed my bags and moved to Hawaii to learn the ancient form of massage called Lomi Lomi. I incorporate these and other modalities into my own, rhythmic flow, to craft treatments that help ease pain and support bodies as they find their own, natural balance.
My love of bodywork thrives alongside my love for native plants and pollinators. I founded Rise Blooms to share my passion for the healing beauty of flowers. I offer organically tended native and medicinal flower bouquets, culinary herb bundles, handcrafted herbal skincare and flower essences. I’m actively growing and expanding this part of my work. Rekindling the relationship humans have with the natural systems we come from and with which we’re deeply entwined feels, to me, like a vital step towards all kinds of healing.
For the past 4 years I’ve lived and farmed on Sauvie Island. I love spending time wildcrafting in the forests of my beloved Tualatin Mountains.
I feel grateful to have found work that lets me tend my human community in collaboration with the beautiful land I call home.

Voice and Sound Healing with Rachel Dugas
Raychill Vibe
raychill@raychillvibe.com
60-minute voice session: $80
60-minute sound bath: $100
Hi! I am a certified sound healer, voice coach, and musician. I created Raychill Vibe as a space to offer healing and expression through voice, dance, and music.
Voice healing sessions:
I’ll guide you through breathwork, humming, vocal toning, and a call-and-response vocal meditation. We’ll end by singing a mantra, followed by a mini sound bath. With repeated sessions, we’ll write songs together and develop your own voice practice.
Sound healing sessions:
Lie down and receive vibrations through voice, touch, and sound. I will use weighted tuning forks to apply hands-on vibration to the body and then bathe you in sound using a variety of instruments like crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, koshi chimes, rattles, ocean drum, and ukulele.
I look forward to singing and sounding with you!
