AstroTherapy
THERAPEUTIC + INTEGRATIVE ASTROLOGY
We hope for world peace,
yet for many of us,
there is a silent war being waged within…
Explore astrology as a peace treaty for your inner world - a doorway for soulful self-inquiry, acceptance & inner coherence - to help soften the inner conflict and re-member you are WHOLE.
All of you is welcome here.
It’s your birthright to feel peace - to be in a state of least resistance with yourself and life.
“Healing is the end of conflict with yourself.”

Hi, I'm NicholsYour “Astro-Therapist” & Companion for re-membering your whole self.
I am someone who moves through the world a little differently than the “on-the-go” archetype so prevalent in our culture. Over the past few years I’ve been learning how to slow down and soften, towards life and myself.
And I want to help support others in liberating themselves from the inner conflict that keeps us stuck in cycles and patterns of resistance and dis-ease. I believe softening is one of the keys.
I do this by integrating my background in mental health counseling with my knowledge of astrology in a therapeutic way. I offer a grounded, compassionate space for reconnecting with all the parts of you - to find more self-acceptance, ease, and inner coherence in order to support more harmonious relationships with yourself, others & life!
“The human soul doesn't want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed -- to be seen, heard, companioned exactly as it is.”
- PARKER PALMER
Offerings-

Foundations of You
Therapeutic birth chart reading to explore the blueprint of your soul’s original intention and meet the major parts of you.
-

Integration
A supportive series of sessions where we dive deep into the different “parts” of you through your chart—your inner critic, caregiver, visionary, artist, etc.—and explore what each needs in order to feel safe, loved, and seen. Here we focus on inner integration & self-acceptance through somatic & emotional release practices.
-

Transition
Whether you're navigating a shift, a loss, or a longing for clarity, we use astrological transits and therapeutic dialogue to bring awareness, compassion, & expression to what your soul is moving through—offering grounding, support, and insight.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You’re meant to be wholly human.
You aren’t broken.
You’ve just exiled parts of yourself.
You don’t have to heal by yourself.
You are meant to be witnessed.
The heart behind AstroTherapy
Like a compass, astrology can be used as a therapeutic tool to guide us back to re-membering inner coherence. Wherever we’ve been conditioned, taught to fragment and be at war with ourselves (and others), it can remind us that compassion, curiosity, creativity, objectivity, and humor are available in how we choose to interact with each part of ourselves.
When we create more spaciousness in our minds and bodies, we hold less dis-ease.
-
The principle of this work and my own healing journey is rooted in this understanding. Healing doesn’t require us to become perfect - free of all wounds, patterns, insecurities; feeling enough all the time. It doesn’t need to be complicated or an endless endeavor. The concept of healing can be as simple as this quote - softening the conflict between all the parts inside ourselves.
-
In today’s self-improvement obsessed world, and for perfectionists like me, “healing” can be a bit of a trap that feeds the fear of not being enough. “Healing” can turn into a never-ending quest for living in resistance to who we are in this moment and needing to constantly be a “better” version of oneself. Because I know what it’s like to be my own worst critic (read about my journey here) and to weaponize the process of “healing” against myself.
-
My ongoing dance with both physical & emotional healing has taught me that healing doesn’t come through force or fixing. True healing has come through softening & acceptance. Like the old adage says, you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. The act of softening creates a sense of spaciousness in the body and mind, drawing out our exiled parts. And though constriction has its place and value, softening can help us see ourselves, others and life with more objectivity, creativity and compassion.
-
Systems like astrology offer the opportunity for us to zoom out. It’s like a permission slip to soften toward (and even embrace) our selves, and the unique experiences and lessons life offers us. It also serves as a reminder that our “purpose” can be as simple as to be who we are and honor our unique path.
