Soul Tending Pathways
with alex guilbert
Practices for self exploration & healing that extend beyond the realm of psychotherapy
About these offerings
‘Soul Tending’ is a process of listening within, nurturing what’s alive, and creating space for meaningful growth & transformation.
Soul Tending Pathways was born from the understanding that there are many avenues toward self-exploration and personal growth.
While these practices are not a replacement for mental health treatment, these soulful and integrative offerings provide supportive ways to deepen your inner journey — inviting healing and wholeness along the way.
I’d be honored to be your guide in whatever pathway you choose.

Supportive practices for self-exploration and growth
Astrological Consultations
Astrological Consultations are 75 minute sessions supporting you in psychological inquiries, karmic themes, and general life questions. Consultations differ from astrology ‘readings’ in that consultations offer a conversation-style to the session. You submit your questions and/or life themes you’re interested in and at the time of your session, Alex will use both natal and transit astrology (along with her knowledge of archetypal psychological) to support you in building insight, gathering focused questions for further inquiry, and gaining validation and/or clarity. Think astrology-based intuitive coaching vs an analysis of your chart.

Before your session, Alex will ask for your birth information (date, place, and time) along with the themes or questions you’d like to explore.
During the session, she’ll invite you to share more about your inquiry and may ask clarifying questions before turning to your natal chart (and, at times, transits) to reflect relevant archetypal themes.
Rather than reading your chart or describing your personality, Alex uses astrology as a reflective, experiential dialogue—offering intuitive and astrologically grounded insights to help you make meaning of where you are and explore potential pathways forward.
-
No! Alex does all of the astrology translating for you—while sparing you the technical details (unless you want them)—so you can focus on the meaning, insight, and how it connects to your lived experience.

Sessions are 75 minutes long, via zoom, and cost $75.

Alex has been studying Astrology for 6 years.
She completed 2 years and received her professional astrology certificate from Nightlight Astrology School.
She’s been working with astrology clients for 3 years.
guided imagery sessions
Guided imagery is a process where active imagination meets gentle and internal shamanic journeying. Similar to taking an inquiry or a challenge into a meditative space to see what insight naturally unfolds — the process of guided imagery allows folks to connect to animal guides that, through the session, support them in connecting to an embodied experience of self exploration.
*While journeys often speak for themselves, Alex does offer follow up integration sessions to support folks in tending to what came alive during the journey - not from a place of analysis, but from a place of curious exploration and meaning making.

During these sessions, Alex will connect with you and hear about what questions, themes, or challenges you’d like to explore. Together you’ll choose a focus point for the journey and hold it lightly — allowing the experience to unfold with trust.
Alex then encourages folks to close their eyes and tune inward, supporting them in accessing a state of relaxation and groundedness. (Think - the type of relaxation that often comes before a guided meditation).
From here, (often with your eyes closed) you call for and meet an animal guide for your journey.
Alex then facilitates a conversation and a relationship between you and your guide, always encouraging inner attunement while also serving as a guide on the outside as you navigate your unique imaginal realm.

Imagery doesn’t have to be visual - people often describe sensing, feeling, or ‘imagining’ their experience without actually having a visual experience.

Sessions are roughly 45 minutes to 75 minutes long. Alex honors the process of imagery and likes to give plenty of space for the journey to unfold.
Sessions are held via zoom.
Sessions cost $75
*Integrative sessions also cost $75

Though there are many traditions and schools of thought that incorporate imaginal experiences like deep imagery, this particular process was developed by psychologist Eligio Stephen Gallegos Ph.D. and is continued to being taught by his wife, Mary Diggin, Ph.D. Alex has been studying with Mary for the past 2 years and has facilitated & undergone several journeys.

Yes! Sometimes, that’s when the best journeys happen.
It is also common for folks to have several journeys to meet their guides to each of the chakras - this process is called ‘the personal totem pole process’. Meeting your chakra animals can be both powerful in the moment and can create a deep sense of inner connection - knowing their are inner guides that you can always tap into whenever life is feeling trying or murky.
