Meet Bozeman Energy Healers At A Summer Solstice SpiritFest
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A live summer solstice gathering turns into a rapid-fire tour of the Bozeman, Montana holistic wellness scene. We’re at SpiritFest with quick, honest mini interviews that let you feel the heart of a local spiritual community: people showing up to heal, learn, and connect with practitioners who do more than a one-time session.
We start with Lauren, the host behind Tree of Life SpiritFest, sharing why she created a platform for retreats, courses, and ongoing support. From there we meet Erin, a mobile massage therapist blending Swedish relaxation with trigger point and treatment work, plus Allie from Lighthouse Bozeman, who brings sound healing into the spotlight with coherent field work and a powerful Sun Gong experience. If you’ve been curious about vibration therapy, gong baths, or sound as medicine, you’ll hear why the “felt” experience matters as much as the explanation.
We also talk intuitive tools that help people navigate transition seasons. Sharon Nicole offers astrology readings and oracle readings, tying self-expression and creativity to chart placements, while Monique breaks down mediumship, Reiki, theta healing, and QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique). She explains the theta brainwave state, exploring past-life or ancestral roots of patterns, shifting beliefs that no longer serve, and inviting deeper physical, mental, and emotional healing. The thread running through it all is simple: release what doesn’t fit anymore, trust your intuition, and listen to your body.
If you’re looking for energy healing, sound healing, astrology, QHHT, Reiki, or spiritual events in Bozeman, this is a great place to start. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave us a review with the modality you want to try next.

Welcome And Live Event Setup
SPEAKER_05Welcome to Wisdom Rising, the podcast of Moonrising Shamanic Institute. Join shamanic Reiki practitioners Christine Renee and Chantel Ochoa as we dance between worlds of shamanism, mysticism, and energy healing. Each week we illuminate your path to self-sourced wisdom and attune you to the whispers of wisdom rising from within Welcome to Wisdom Rising. I'm your host, Christine Renee, and today we're having a different kind of podcast. We are doing a podcast that is a recording of a live event that happened here in Bozeman, Montana, where I reside. And we are at Spirit Fest for our summer solstice celebration. And so I know we are about 10 days out from solstice. And I'm really hoping that is landing well for all of our listeners out there and really feeling the summer energy. And we did this day, and we really brought in practitioners from all over our community. And we got to have a chance to sit down and have brief little interviews with all of them. And it was super fun because we had everything from massage therapist to QHH and um everything in between, mediums and other energy workers. And so I hope you enjoy this episode of mini interviews from practitioners here and around Bozeman. Enjoy the episode and be sure to check out the show notes for contacts of these practitioners if you'd love to learn more.
Spirit Fest Vision With Lauren
SPEAKER_05Welcome, welcome, welcome. We are here at Sky Oro for Spirit Fest. I've got Lauren with me today. She is our fabulous host. We are doing some fabulous things here in Bozeman, Montana at Spirit Fest. At Spirit Fest, at Spirit Fest. Yes.
SPEAKER_04So yeah, Tree of Life Spirit Fest is something that I just started this year. I'm new to Montana and Bozeman in general. And um I wanted a nice platform for uh all of the beautiful spiritual people that are in Montana, uh particularly the ones that are really interested in retreats and courses and uh ongoing healing where they're, you know, it's not just about, you know, selling the things or doing the reading in that moment um or doing the workshop on that day. It's about like connecting people with the right people that are gonna help them within their journey. And um, I think we've got a really beautiful bunch of people today.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, absolutely. So I'm here, we've got my table set up. I'm gonna be doing a workshop here shortly on breathing through the chakras. So that's gonna be super lovely. And there's a bunch of other practitioners here. So are what's your what are you up to?
SPEAKER_04I am gonna be doing a workshop today as well. Uh it's vocal alchemy. It's gonna be a short version of an ongoing uh class that I will be doing over at the Bozeman Spiritual Society. Um, and it's vocal toning, it's um where you know, sound has vibration and has a frequency that can heal. And I think intuitively we can create that ourselves, particularly when we do it with other people. When um, you know, uh if you imagine when waves hit each other, it creates a bigger wave. That's essentially what's happening. So um it's a lot of fun, and you do not need to know how to sing to do it. Um, exactly. Don't please, please, please, don't be scared. You don't have to need to know how to sing. Um, and other than that, we've also got the creation station, like um it at all my events, where people can come in and they can make things um with all of the cute little goodies that I have collected over the over the years. So um, you can make a trinket, you can make a suncatcher, you can whatever you like.
SPEAKER_05So know that if you are in Bozem, Montana, you can come on down. We are in the canneries district underneath the water tower. Directly. Directly. Like it's literally right there. So that's how you can find us.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and it's like it's really it's really comfortable here. You can come and stay and relax and chat with all of our practitioners, get a reading, get a massage, um, grab a tea if you like, and just settle in. It's a perfect day for it. Absolutely. All right, who else do you have for
Mobile Massage For Real Relief
SPEAKER_04me?
SPEAKER_05We have Miss Erin. Almas in your pop. Yay! So welcome, Erin, to the podcast. So glad that you're with us for the event.
SPEAKER_01So tell us, what are you offering? So I am a mobile massage therapist. Um, I'm working on getting a place set up as well. But right now I'm just doing mobile. Um, but this is my first event, so I'm very excited.
SPEAKER_05I love it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So have you been in town for long? Um, I have grew up here actually. So um I moved here when I was maybe six, but besides that, I grew up did all my social years here.
SPEAKER_05Wait, so I know there's like a million and one types of massage. Do you have a favorite or a specialty? So I do a mix of Swedish and treatment work.
SPEAKER_01Um, so like trigger point work, stuff like that. So I give a very relaxing as well as a very um treatment focused massage. So um it's basically whatever you however you want to create that massage, I can do that.
SPEAKER_05So if we have a stressed-out mama who comes in, they can come sit in your chair and get a massage. Absolutely. Okay, yeah, I love it. Do you have any um summer solsticey messages for people?
SPEAKER_01You know, I think this year is meant for healing for me and I a lot of people around me. So, Gino, just heal and live and come get a massage.
SPEAKER_05Come get a massage, self-care, self-summer. Yes, absolutely beautiful. Well, thanks for hopping on. Yeah,
Sound Healing And Coherent Fields
SPEAKER_05thank you. Next, we're gonna bring on Allie. Allie is an amazing practitioner. She has been in Bozeman forever. I think we've known each other for so long. Probably like 25 years. You are a teenager. Yes, I know. I know so. I grew up here. I grew up here, yeah. And and Allie, it runs Lighthouse Bozeman, and it's a fantastic facility downtown. If you haven't checked it out, be sure to check out her website because the events there are top-notch. Just really love your energy. And so, what are you offering these days out of Lighthouse?
SPEAKER_03Um, the biggest thing is sound. Um, so you know, I've been a musician my whole life and have really um come to understand through my practice, through my healing practice, um, just how integral vibrational therapy is on all these different levels for our emotional level, for the site, the spiritual, the psychological, the the what did I say, mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical. Physical. There you go. Yeah, the body. Hey, that's um, and so what I brought here today to the Tree of Life Spirit Fest is um I'm gonna be leading a workshop on um generating a coherent field within ourselves and then guiding people in with the Sun Gong that I have.
SPEAKER_05Um and so it's huge and beautiful and amazing, and just coming down to see that is a sight.
SPEAKER_03Yes, and you'll get to feel it. This is like an it's an experiential felt um workshop. So we're not just gonna be like, okay, and then I'm gonna talk you through this. No, like it's gonna be like you're gonna feel what it feels like to have vibrational waves, literally shifting the biology and the mentality and the spirituality to create a multidimensional whole being. Um, and so that's what I'm up to today. And I'm also here to just kind of chat with you. Um, I brought my little ohm bowl and my ohm fork to do some ohm tunings.
SPEAKER_05Um I'm curious, if someone was gonna come to you to work with you on an individual basis, what's that client look like?
SPEAKER_03Usually it feels like the people that tend to gravitate towards me as clients are people who are undergoing huge threshold changes. It's um, either, you know, undergoing significant change in work, relationship, just life in general, a lot of people who are seeking like, what is my greater meaning here? What am I supposed to do? What's my purpose? That it's really the people who are um asking those bigger questions, wanting to really see through that lens of soul perspective.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um, and so we work in all sorts of ways where we get into some of the roots of, you know, why we tend to relive these patterns over and over and over again and get into the energetics of it. We get into the ancestral roots of it, we get into the past life roots of it, we get into just literally the subtle body patterning that we're holding. And so we work with that through sound, through energy transmission healing, which is a little different than the Reiki. Right. Um, but same kind of a concept where we are conduits for the source energy to come through and allow your own innate ability to heal really create its take shape. Um, so we're just container holders, essentially, right? Yeah. Um and so yeah, we we kind of work at it on all these different levels. Um, and a lot of it too is channeled transmission, um, where you know, you'll be speaking with me and the channel message will want to come through for you.
SPEAKER_05I love that. I love that. I mean, when I see your son like, oh yeah, she's doing that, she's doing the she's doing the work. She's doing the things, yeah, she's doing the things, all of the things. And I just love seeing the practitioners in the community that can just really bring you in so deep. So yeah, I love it. Well, thanks. Thanks for our little highlight moment. Thanks. And we have another practitioner

SPEAKER_02So today I'm offering astrology readings, oracle readings, but I also have a lip gloss line that's made in Italy, that's paraben-free, all about being ethically sourced and all that. I'm really passionate about that. And then Venus is in my first house, and then also I have a Libra Midhaven. So that's why I went that direction of beauty.
SPEAKER_05Oh, I love that. I'm I'm taking a course right now that's like, what's your Midhaven? What's your Lilith? What's your what's your Venus sign? I'm like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05And so, do you have a um summer solstice message for those watching? Solstice.
SPEAKER_02I think this is a big transition period for a lot of different signs. I think we just need to release, cleanse. If there's people, places, or things that don't serve you, just let it go and just follow your passions and your creativity.
SPEAKER_05Beautiful. Yeah, thank you so much for hopping on and thank you. Come on down, you guys. You can get a reading. This is gonna be fantastic. Yes, yes, thank you. Thank you.
Mediumship Plus QHHT Deep Healing
SPEAKER_05And we have another lovely human. You're gonna totally do this. Everyone's gonna love it. It's all good. Come take a seat next to me. It's Heather, right? Monique, I apologize.
unknownThat's right.
SPEAKER_05So, what are you offering today?
SPEAKER_00Um, I'm a psychic medium, and so I'm doing oracle readings or mediumship readings today, but I do energy work as well. So, whatever is needed.
SPEAKER_05I love it. Okay, cool. So, who are you hoping like? Is there a specific type of client you like to work with, or just anyone and everyone?
SPEAKER_00No, just anyone and everyone. Um, I'm mentor and teacher, I'm a theater healing practitioner and instructor and a Reiki master. Um, I also do QHHT, which is Oh, you're deep dived in.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, you got all the training.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so whatever is needed at the time, and that's what I base everything off of.
SPEAKER_05So today might be like a little taste of the things that you do. Oh yeah, I know QHT. That's like a four-hour session.
SPEAKER_00Uh, that's a short one.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, okay. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00Like, yeah, my longest session was eight hours.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, okay. I get it. I've done Reiki for 16 hours, straight one. So I hear I feel you. Yeah. Okay, so you've got the QHT. Can you tell folks what that stands for?
SPEAKER_00It's quantum healing hypnosis technique. Okay. And so um it's it's actually really beautiful, and I combine it with um all the energy healing that I do with the with the theta healing and the Reiki as well. So um it's a very deep meditative, meditative state. Um, we put you into that theta brainwave where all things are possible, right? And that's where things happen, and that's where we gain our deepest healing um when we fall into that. And so by doing that, you do go under a hypnosis, but you know, you're still aware, you're in charge. So and the first step within that session is to take you back to um whatever past life is most prevalent for you at this time. And so I always ask why this past life, because we all have many, and um, there's always a lesson that directly applies to what's going on in your life right now. And so, um, and then after that, then while you're under with that, then I ask, you know, is is is that still affecting them today? Is that what's blocking this or that or whatever? And so I bring in the healing elements of that so we can release it in that moment and pull that forward through all the lifetimes it's affecting. And then um, and then we pull in your higher self, your your superconscious, and um, you know, you have a list of questions that you've brought in. But I asked my own two based on conversations and things and you know, follow-up questions. And then I always ask for physical, mental, and emotional healing with it all with all of it at that time.
SPEAKER_05Well, and it sounds like it's so integrated. You've got this Reiki as a safety net, theta's gonna drop you in, and you're gonna go in deep.
SPEAKER_00Very deep. Yeah, very deep.
SPEAKER_05It has been a very long time since I've had a theta session. I just remember it was really deep. It was really good. Can you give me a little description of what the theta aspect is?
SPEAKER_00Right. And so for theta healing, uh of course it's energy, right? And so um, I do walk you through a quick meditation just to drop you into that theta space as well. But it's um to me, it it goes, it works really well in conjunction with other therapies, like even your your standard typical therapy. Um, I have patients that are clients that do both. And so um it it just goes deeper, it's that deeper dive. So it it instead of okay, and and how did that make you feel? How did that make you feel? Which there's a place and space for that, I'm no judging, but um, this takes us back, we can take it back to where it actually originated. And and sometimes that is a past life.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And sometimes it's on the ancestral line, or your DNA line. And so we can go in and it's about changing the beliefs that no longer serve you, um, that are brought in from the past. And it's about releasing things and bringing in that soul level deep healing, and it's it's instant.
SPEAKER_05I love it. It feels like an energetic entanglement.
SPEAKER_00Very much so.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, see great. Thank you so much. You have a summer solstice message for our folks watching.
SPEAKER_00Well, it's not just for summer solstice, I think it's just uh part of life in general overall. But, you know, one of my goals and focus is to empower everyone, women, and it doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man, but um, just to empower yourself to really allow yourself to tap into who you truly are and who you were here to be. And, you know, it starts with the basics of trusting your intuition and really listening to your body because it'll tell you everything.
SPEAKER_05Absolutely. Oh, I love it. Thank you so much for hopping on with me. Thank
