Vanessa Lamorte Hartshorn, M.A.
Welcome!
Cosmic Family Bridger, Elevation Guide, Liminal Space Traveler and Feminine Carrier of Divine Mysteries.
Las Vegas, NV, Mojave Desert, Western Shoshone and Paiute land.
I am a mother, wife and mentor for my community.
The family is my daily classroom. A place to practice peace, nurture and nourish our sweet bundle. I am lucky to spend most of my time with our (now) almost 4 year old and to support Matthew, my husband, a firefighter, paramedic and engineer. Together, we are serving our community through a tight-knit, widely woven tapestry.
I am a sound alchemist, poet and cosmic cycles priestess.
Since I was a child, music, art, storytelling, and the stars were my favorite ways to express. Trained as a classical musician in voice, piano and violin, 13+ years in sound healing and studying as a song carrier, music and vibration are a core medicine I lead with. Astrology is a second language that provides a framework for understanding the intricacies of personality, purpose, past-present life and understanding natural rhythms for practical application.
I am a flower essence fairy and liminal space traveler.
As a Flower Essence Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher and trained Dreamwork Healer, my approach involves a deep listening to the subtle realms—of yourself, the earth, the ethers and beyond. Flowers are incredible teachers for understanding the inner meta workings of our emotional landscape and greater psyche. I live my life close to the flowers, think, feel and speak in flowers. I select remedies for clients in an ultra-intuitive way backed with a decade of practice and know-how. Dreams are central to my personal self-care practice and a vehicle for transformation in my work with students. Together, flowers, dreams and energy medicine bring a synergistic power to self-understanding, excavation and offer actionable steps for true embodiment.
I am a Transpersonal Psychologist, Philosopher, and Pioneer.
I studied at Sofia University, graduating in 2015 with a Master’s in Transpersonal Psychology, specialization in Creativity and Innovation. Transpersonal Psychology asks the deeper questions and encouraging us to go beyond the personal ego identification (self) and to accept states of consciousness, gnosis, and experience that could be described as transcendental or spiritual. It is existential with a focus on creating meaning and purpose from one’s own view, synthesis of experience and the multi-dimensional aspects of human life. Psychology in its original study, meant “study of the soul.” Transpersonal Psychology does just that. So while I do not come from a clinical background, my work is centered in micro-macrocosmic meaning-making as we integrate worldview with how we came into being, our experience of family, environment, purpose and what the self and SELF have to say. As a student of the ancestral ways and intertribal altar guided by Maestro Manuel Rufino, my personal philosophies weave modern study with ancient tradition as we live into the wisdom of the Aquarian Age.
