Jaimie Pratt is a conduit for healing, using Reiki energy work, tarot, psychic channelling, breathwork facilitation, and creativity. Her journey began with the studies of Fine Art, later transitioning into professional photography and freelance video editing. Yet, at a pivotal moment, she left it all behind to dedicate herself to her true calling: healing—first her own, and then facilitating the healing of others. Guided by her creative spirit, Jaimie allowed her artistic expression to become a channel for processing and healing trauma. As a child, she relied on drawing and painting as a lifeline, honing her creative skills through the challenges of early life. Edging towards her twenties, she was drawn to explore writing poetry. Writing became a fast way to clear stagnant energy out of her energy system, a practice that allowed her to release intense emotions and patterning, getting it out of the body and objectively witnessing it externally. She has been an avid poetry writer since, using both poetry and channeled painting to process and heal outdated subconscious beliefs and patterns. A passionate researcher of trauma processing and how childhood wounds affect our daily lives, Jaimie is fascinated by cutting-edge studies where science and healing converge. Through years of combining artistic expression, community, and transformative healing practices, her personal healing journey has come a long way. She has woven together a tapestry of tools to guide others in their own journey of healing and psychological exploration through powerful artistic retreats.
