Hi, my name is Devyn (they/she).
I am a liberation guide in this world to support our healing through love. As a queer integrative somatic practitioner, bodyworker, death doula, community organizer, and artist I aim to inspire people to liberation through joy, ease, and play. Offering tools to help us realize our body's innate ability to heal trauma, develop secure connections, and grow beyond our pain. I support people in learning to rise above reactions and stay centered through the complexities of life. Rooted in healing justice and embodied social justice praxises my work dances between body and emotional intelligence education, relationship building with ourselves and the earth, ceremony, storytelling and performance art. I specializing in sexual assault, and domestic violence healing, guiding people to rediscover the feeling of safety and security in their own bodies and in connection with others.
Philosophy
We are born free as brilliant beautiful balls of light and love. Unburdened by the complexities of society. We want simple things - love, comfort, food, and rest. We look at the world curiously, finding joy in the sounds, lights, colors, and comforts of another's arms. As we learn how to engage with the world around us we don’t worry about doing it right or pretty, we simply strive for connection. Our bodies teach us what feels good, what we need, what we like or don’t like. In this process of innocent discovery we are also being taught how to fit into the frameworks our societies have built. Many of these frameworks were not designed for our expansion but rather for our submission/containment/enslavement. As we grew we took on pieces of these frameworks as our truths, we made ourselves smaller to fit the boxes, dampened our own lights to protect ourselves, were wounded, and learned it was unsafe to be free.
In a society not designed for us to thrive we forget ourselves. We forget that as balls of light what we do innately is we burn - we burn bright and beautiful. If we allow for our innate abilities to thrive we will burn past all that limits us, all the things we picked up that aren’t us. We alchemize our experience into the light that is our unique brilliant truth, an expression of love that is all our own.
As a healer, I gently guide clients to fully harness their light. We do this by reprogramming unwanted patterns, overcoming past traumas, strengthening our emotional intelligence, and developing embodied relating skills, and we anchor all of this in love and play. I want to empower you to live into your vision for your life by giving you the tools to rise above your reactions and live an intentional life full of joy.
Why Devyne Love?
I believe love is the whole point.
God is love, god is all things, all things are love.
We are exquisite love.
Lineages, Teachers, Training
The greatest privilege of my life is that I come from 2 lineages of love. My parents and grandparents each in their own way committed to living beautiful lives of service. They taught me that to love the world is to be in service of it. This is my core commitment to love, to be in service of the world. This has turned me into a lifelong learner, I am constantly seeking wisdom and a deeper understanding of the world so that I can be in greater service of others.
I have participated in many trainings and certificate programs, and a large core of my knowledge has come from the numerous Indigenous medicine keepers at whose feet I’ve had the privileged of learning. It is in these spaces that I continue to learn about love and all higher forms of being, healing, connecting, and growing.
