Being Human is Hard. We’re Here To Help.

There is a word in Sanskrit that is at the core of what we do. The word is Svadhyaya and it translates roughly as self study. True self study is not about turning yourself into an endless project to fix or optimize, rather it is about honoring your relationship to yourself by exploring your inner world and getting to know who you really are. Through contemplative wisdom, embodied experience and deep presence we help people cultivate a more compassionate, curious and trusting relationship with themselves. Our work together is a sacred process of restoring order & harmony to your inner world.
Through our courses, events, retreats, 1:1 sessions and our free resource library we help people connect with themselves, improve their relationships, navigate life and create more health and balance. We help you find greater clarity, presence, and contentment by teaching you practical tools to help you thrive. Our approach is rooted in both evidence based and practical wisdom, honoring the intersection of inner knowing, science and the deeper mysteries of life.
Aspen Monarch Integrative Therapies
Today our pace of life, increased use of technology and daily exposure to complex global events, make it difficult to stay present; distraction is prevalent and many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected and looking for more meaning, presence and connection. We created Aspen Monarch because we want to be a part of creating more balance and harmony in these times.
Our name originates from the symbolism found in both the Aspen Tree and the Monarch Butterfly. The Aspen grove, although it looks like many individual trees, is one organism living and breathing together; the health of one impacts the health of all. The monarch butterfly inspires us to remember that even through life’s most challenging transformations we can emerge as the most beautiful version of ourselves. By experiencing our own transformations we contribute to the collective growth of our communities and all our relations.
Aspen Monarch is here to support curious seekers on their paths of awakening and embodiment, clients who need support, and professionals and service provides who want to add to their existing skill set. Our work sits at the intersection of grounded methodologies and reverence for the unseen and our sessions, courses, resources and trainings aim to support those who are feeling an urge to:

Together We Learn How To Be Present With Life
Aspen Monarch is a place for those who know, deep in their bones, that healing or getting to know yourself is not about endless seeking or fixing. For us, healing is about remembering that wholeness is your natural state of being. This is a place that is safe, grounded and accessible and exists to support those seeking a more holistic, energized and embodied way of navigating life. Yoga, Herbalism, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy, and Inner Work are all ways we can make deeper contact with ourselves. As we support clients, we draw from many of these modalities in a way that seamlessly combines our lived and educational experiences.
We have found that the interconnected relationship between mind, body and spirit has to be honored in order to live in a way that feels healthy, loving and attuned to other people and the planet. Learning how to focus the mind, connect to your spirit and care for your body are key aspects of being able to experience life from a place of embodiment, attunement and depth. As we learn how to do this for ourselves we can gently create a ripple of coherence in our communities, hopefully contributing our own thread to the weaving of the complex human ecosystem that is so dearly in need of balance.
You won’t find formulas here, instead you will find pathways, presence and the steady remembering of who you are beneath the noise. Some find us when they are looking for deep healing, some come out of curiosity and for education and some come to learn how to support others.

A fun fact about us is that since we are in the business of helping humans, we do not use AI to generate our workshops, course content or other resources that we provide. 100 percent certified organic human experience is what you will find here :)
Our work weaves together grounded methodologies, contemplative wisdom, and embodied experience.
Somatic Listening: Your body tells a story before words ever arrive. Slowing down enough to be able to listen is a skill that takes time and repetition to anchor. We walk with you on your unique path of remembering how to listen to your body. There are hundreds of somatic (body based) tools that are known by science, wisdom and your own intuition. We help you tune in so that you can choose which ones are the most meaningful for you.
Inner Exploration: Your inner world is vast and rich. Together we create a map of your inner terrain, where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you want to go; which leads to recognition of the larger and repeating patterns that are present in your life. With this insight we help you chart the path forward and live from a more present, balanced and cohesive place.
Rooted Embodiment: Rooting means identifying the habits, beliefs and patterns that hold you back from presence, in a way that is grounded, practical and useful. Reconnecting to the rhythms of your body and the Earth are a good place for us to start. Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Mindfulness and Herbalism are all systems of wisdom we can call upon when the moment is right.
Integration: As much as we wish lasting change happened over night, it usually doesn’t. Life is filled with moments of deep revelation that can lead to transformation; and it is the practice of folding these revelations into our daily life, through repetition and with support, that anchors change.
Fun: Getting to know yourself doesn’t always have to feel intense and difficult to be meaningful. Traveling the path together brings some joy and fun to a naturally deep and fulfilling process.
