Self-Empowerment & Self-Development
OKC Energy Healing
Ancestral healing is how we work with what talk therapy alone can't always reach — grief that predates you, losses with nowhere to land, and the parts of yourself that went quiet just to get through. These practices restore balance, self-awareness, and a felt sense of wholeness.
"...release what you've been grieving, and remember who you were before the loss, the role, or the world told you who to be."
Dena's methods incorporate a blend reflective of modern holistic coaching modalities with indigenous healing knowledge that her teachers from across the globe have entrusted her with.
These offerings are not quick fixes -- they are doorways. Each one is an invitation to go deeper, release what has been weighing on you, and remember who you were before the world told you what to be. I bring both clinical knowledge and ancient wisdom to this work, so you don't have to choose between the two.
Despacho Ceremony
A Ceremony for What Never Got a Funeral
​
Some losses come with rituals built in — a service, a burial, people showing up with casseroles. Others don't. The divorce. The miscarriage. The friendship that just ended. The version of your life that quietly stopped existing without anyone marking the day. If you've been carrying something like that with nowhere to put it down, a despacho may be the ritual you didn't know you were missing.
​
What Is a Despacho?
​
A despacho is a ceremonial offering from the Andean healing tradition of Peru, carried by the Q'ero and other highland lineages for generations. The word means, roughly, an offering that is sent — and that's exactly what it is: a physical bundle built by hand, layer by layer, to hold what you're ready to release and what you're ready to invite in.
​
Flower petals, seeds, herbs, sweets, cotton, and small symbolic objects are placed into the bundle one at a time. Each layer is set with intention — a grief, a wish, a gratitude, a forgiveness — often breathed into the item before it's placed. When the offering is complete, it's folded, tied, and given back to the earth: burned, buried, or offered to water.
​
It's built on ayni — a concept of sacred reciprocity. Not a wish sent into the void, but an exchange with the universe.
​
Why It Holds Both Grief and Blessing at Once
​
Most rituals ask you to pick a lane — mourn, or celebrate. A despacho doesn't. The same bundle holds what you're setting down and what you're hoping for, side by side, because that's usually closer to the truth of any real loss. You rarely get to the other side of grief without both.
​
-
The releasing — naming what no longer serves you, what you're grieving, what you need to forgive — yourself or someone else — and folding it into the bundle.
-
The renewal — gratitude, intentions, hopes for what comes next, placed in the same layers.
-
The giving back — watching the bundle burn, get buried, or carried off by water. Your body registers what your mind has been trying to process. For a loss with no funeral, this can become the funeral it never had.
​​
What a Session Looks Like
​
We build the despacho together. You'll bring what you're grieving and what you're hoping for — spoken, written, or simply held in mind as each layer is placed. No prior experience or specific belief system required. This isn't about adopting someone else's spirituality; it's about giving your grief a physical place to go.
​
We close by giving the offering back — through fire, earth, or water, depending on what's available and what feels right for what you're releasing.

"When a relationship ends but the attachment doesn't, that's still grief — even without a funeral. This ceremony gives you a concrete way to release what's over, whether it's a person, a role, or a version of yourself you've outgrown."
Carl Jung once famously said “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

Soul Retrieval
Reclaim the parts of yourself that went missing to grief, trauma, or years of putting everyone else first."
One of the most powerful aspects of ancestral healing is soul retrieval, a process that addresses emotional and spiritual fragmentation.
Traumatic experiences can cause parts of our self to become disconnected, leading to feelings of emptiness or disempowerment.
​
This process & term through the lens of Jungian psychology is used to describe a process that allows people to access their unconscious and reconnect the rational mind with the instinctual self
In a guided journey, practitioners can seek these lost aspects, inviting them back into the forefront and restoring a sense of wholeness and balance.
​
$375 for 3 sessions
Power Animal Retrieval

Some traditions believe that this "spirit animal" is actually a metaphor for our "higher self", or individual untapped power & potential. In this case, animal is metaphor for our hidden strengths.

During a guided meditative journey, participants may encounter their power animal, an embodiment of your inner strength, guidance, and protection.
​
This provides support and insight, helping individuals navigate their life challenges and uncover their innate abilities. The presence of a power animal can foster a sense of belonging and reassurance, reminding one of their connection to the earth and its energies.

About
My name is Dena Bradford, MA
I am a psychotherapy student, healthcare executive, and medicine woman.
A ruptured brain aneurysm in my 30s stopped my life mid-sentence — and left me grieving who I'd been before it. That loss became the doorway to a deeper connection to God, to my ancestors, and to a way of healing that honors the mind, body, brain, and spirit together. I've learned a lot on this path, and I look forward to walking it with you.
