What Folks are Saying

“As a clinician, I had certain expectations of what this work would entail but each session unfolds more beautifully and more miraculously than the last. I was not aware of how unique and meaningful this work could be. I feel seen, held, and deeply cared for by Syd. I am reminded that I am not alone or unique in my suffering. After getting sober from substances, my eating disorder took off. And as the years have gone by, it had been growing bigger and bigger. The self hate ran so deep that dying felt like my best option. But as the work continues, more and more is uncovered and held. With holding has come healing. After my last session, there was a deep internal shift. It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It’s the freest I have ever felt in my body. That voice isn’t so heavy and dark, there is gentle compassion streaming in. A lightness. Syd has a gift like nothing I’ve ever seen or experienced. At the end of each session, I always tell them that there are no words that can do my gratitude justice and I stand by that. I have never felt safer and so whole in the presence of another human. Working with Syd is the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself. I am so so grateful.

“Syd is a considerate, intentional, and intelligent practitioner. They helped me move through difficult life events, internal conflict and grief, and tap into deeper wounds in a safe and expertly held environment. It helped me feel supported on a deeper spiritual and psychological level, especially in conjunction with the other more traditional mental health practitioners I see. My sessions with Syd rounded out my support network and lifted me in a time of need.”

“Every time I do a session with Syd, it offers a deep re-set to my system. I'm able to slow down and be present with myself, and whatever's coming up, in a deeper way, thanks to Syd's thoughtful, intuitive and profound presence. I always learn new things about myself. Syd is incredible - I truly can't say enough about their skills. They're able to pierce through the physical and "see" all of the energies, symbolisms, and deep knowings that are wanting to emerge, and then weave them together in a way that holds deep meaning and resonance. I always know that I will gain deep insight into my own healing process - and what I need to transform whatever it is I'm going through - whenever I work with Syd.”

“When I first interacted with Syd, I was able to pickup on how powerful, centered, caring they are as a spiritual healer. With that trust, I've opened up and have been able to see, hear and listen to what I need to know. In my sessions, I've been held through some of the roughest patches and darkest spaces. I knew that I could be there in the safe and brave space that Syd creates whenever we are together. It is rare to work with practitioners who take on the profound responsibility of ensuring who they work with is actually cared for. Trying to quantify the impact of Syd's work on my life would be like trying to harness the energy of the universe and put it in my hand. Impossible. What I can say is that I have never seen a more profound a shift in my life than I have when I work with Syd. Every session leaves me centered, renewed and a deep sense of direction and purpose. I can't say that for many others that I interact with.. With all my heart, soul and spirit, I highly recommend working with Blue Jaguar Healing Arts. If this is calling you, then listen. You will be cared for as you figure out what you need.”

“The healing sessions have always been different for me as compared to traditional therapy. Syd helps guide my emotions out of me, and does the work alongside of me. I have always appreciated how I feel after sessions, and feel more hopeful no matter what my issues are at the time.”

— TN, ARMENIA

“Syd has held immense space for the work we have done together. Whether it be heavy or light, they always showed up with a bandwidth for what I was bringing to the table and an expansive insight on the world around us. They have given me so much autonomy in my practice and as well as our professional relationship which has given me the ability to fully trust myself. I am honored by their mission and was lucky to be a small piece within it and have cherished all the time we have spent together!”

“syd reminded me how to listen to my heart beat and synchronize it with the heart beat of the universe. they meet you as you are, as they are, and in that humble meeting place we learn how to tend to life and how to walk in integrity with our shadows and gifts. what they offer cannot be translated into words, it is in the subtle energies of a healer that has nothing to prove and a well of wisdom to offer.”

— MY, OAKLAND, CA

“I've been seeing Syd for 1:1 sessions for 5 or 6 years now - it feels right to come back again and again! Traversing the many phases of my journey from within Syd's non-judgmental container has been the grounding touch-stone I have needed. From moving countries to divorce to gender-transition, Syd has provided a safe space for me to show up as my full and multi-dimensional self at each step of the game. Thank you for your deep wisdom and clairvoyance; and thank you for providing your unique and important reflection in my life!”

— CM, CANADA

“Syd has a gift for going deep and helping one navigate areas that they may never have found themselves in before. The insights I have gained through my sessions with Syd are immeasurable. The profound compassion Syd brings to all of our sessions is something I am truly grateful for, as well.”

— TD, LOS ANGELES, CA

“I first heard Syd speak on a podcast about healing and disordered eating. At the time, I was attending traditional therapy and felt limited by the surface level communication myself and this particular therapist had, I often felt like I was broken and working on putting myself back together. Hearing Syd speak on that podcast gave me the language and understanding that healing can be approached in a much more holistic way, with love being at the root. They have held so much space for me to learn that I am indeed not broken but exactly as I need to be, and guided me through necessary and formative conversations with my body, allowing me to feel grounded in my physicality and excited every day to show up to/for myself.”

— MH, CHICAGO, IL

“Working with Syd has helped me accept all the parts of me - my queerness, my intuitive abilities, and the realities of my trauma. It doesn’t just end there. Syd empowers me and helps me see that I have the power to heal and care for myself as well.”

— EG, LONG BEACH, CA

“Working with Syd has been a completely transformative experience during my healing journey. Syd is not only a very knowledgeable and an intuitive Reiki practitioner but a truly compassionate individual who seeks to help their clients strengthen their relationships with their bodies and minds. My work with them has helped me better understand myself and how I interact with my body in my daily life. I look forward to every session we have!”

“Working with Syd is a game-changer for me. Through their wisdom, skill, and heart, I have immediate access to my higher self, and my potential for healing and transformation. Syd’s presence not only gives me strength to face whatever scary this is arising, but helps me connect with my internal resources so I can create, lean in, and embody the full spectrum of my being.”

— KC, PORTLAND, OR

“In my first few sessions with Syd, I set out on a career goal. While my time with Syd supported me to take those turns, I discovered the real work was walking a more creative embodied path. The work we do together is vulnerable, honest, and joyous. As I walk this path, Syd has helped to bear witness, hold space, and generate wisdom — and offered a level of support that is vital to my journey.”

— KKY, NEW YORK, NY

“Without having met Syd, I would have not begun to learn about my intuitive capacities. I also attribute much of my ability to stay afloat during some of the hardest times in my life to the healing sessions and classes I did with Syd.”

— JL, PHILIPPINES

“Syd helped me unlock and release ancestral baggage stored in my body. They guided me through a forest of shadowy patterns and lead me to form healthier habits. I leave our sessions with a divine sense of wholeness.”

— NZ, CHICAGO, IL

“Syd is an amazing healer and was instrumental in my growth as a queer person and artist. They held space for me to discover my identity and transform my life in ways I'd never imagined, stepping into greater abundance, stability, and strength.”

— RD, LOS ANGELES, CA

“The importance and impact of healing work with Syd is a process I could not have anticipated. I moved into this work with intentions around undoing stuckness and through that we unearthed and uncovered pieces of me that needed to heal and shift to be able to move through painful transitions and create new paths. We explored dynamics, relationships and conflicts in a way where I could fully hold and recognize how other elements in my life operated in parallel.

Syd’s approach with healing is a powerful collection of deep thoughtfulness, gentleness, reflection and perspective. Syd’s ability to engage so deeply and intuitively is a gift I have been so grateful to witness and receive. My gratitude to Syd for working with me has been the greatest investment in myself and my own healing.”
