Ariana Candell, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist with more than 25 years of experience and a pioneer in Somatic Ecotherapy. In her work with individual clients in the Oakland hills, she draws on the presence of redwoods, oaks, and bay laurels to support a grounded, nature-based healing process.
She is also the founder and director of The Earthbody Institute, which offers transformational, educational, and embodied Ecotherapy training rooted in sacred connection with the Earth and reciprocity with all beings. Through this work, the Institute is committed to co-creating cultures of care and responding to the impacts of injustice and oppression.
