Meet Brooke · Ocracoke Island, NC
Hi, I’m Brooke.
I’m an educator, facilitator, sound therapist + intuitive energy healer. I create spaces for people to slow down, feel, heal, listen inward, and reconnect with themselves.
I support people navigating life transitions, grief, change, and seasons of repair and reclamation. My work is rooted in helping you feel more at home in your body and energy, develop greater clarity and self-trust, and remember who you are at your core.
Ultimately, I’m interested in the reclamation of self—supporting you in trusting your own inner knowing and sharing more of your truest self with the world, in ways that feel authentic, alive, and of service to your family, community, and the greater good of all.
I work with people both in person on Ocracoke Island and remotely.
At a Glance
Who I support, and what this work offers.
Who I support
Leaders, seekers, and sensitive humans looking for deeper self-awareness, as well as those navigating grief, transition, change, and repair.
My work offers
A space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with yourself. Through energy work, sound, intuitive guidance, and embodied practices, I support the process of releasing what may be creating stagnation or disconnection so that energy, clarity, intuition, and self-trust can move more freely.
The work is ultimately about reclamation: coming home to your body and energy, remembering your truest self, and cultivating the trust and freedom to let your gifts and light move through the world in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
My intention
To support you in developing a deeper relationship with yourself—one rooted in self-trust, presence, and connection—so that who you are can be more fully expressed and shared with the world.

How I Work
Working with the whole being.
I’ve learned that meaningful transformation asks us to work with the whole being. Our work together considers the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual layers of your experience—not as separate parts, but as an interconnected whole.
I draw from the different practices I’ve studied and lived for many years, weaving together sound, energy work, Reiki, intuitive guidance, meditation, breath, movement, and other embodied practices to support the needs of each individual. No two sessions look exactly alike.
Some sessions are hands-on, incorporating Reiki, stones, humming, tuning forks, and Himalayan bowls. Remote sessions may include energy work across distance, followed by conversation and reflection to explore what you’re experiencing and what may be asking for your attention. Depending on what you’re moving through, our work may continue through a series of sessions, allowing space to support different stages, layers, or seasons of life.
My role isn’t to tell you who to be or to fix something that is wrong with you. It’s to listen deeply, offer what I’m sensing and observing, and create a supportive space where you can hear yourself more clearly, make meaning of your experience, and build trust in your own knowing.
I usually enter with some level of discombobulation… from the day, from the complexities of life, from the realities of the body. The session unfolds with a care that is gentle and wise. At the end I can feel myself returning to my intrinsic nature, as though I am being made whole once again.Claudia · Reiki + intuitive healing client
From the minute I walk in the door, I feel like I am stepping into a healing realm. A few deep breaths, and the body releases… always there is a letting go. My jangled, frayed nerves are smoothed, gentled.Reiki + intuitive healing client
My Story
I’ve been sensitive for as long as I can remember.
I grew up in a home full of faith, where I felt connected to something bigger than myself—in the trees, in people, and in quiet moments. I was a deeply intuitive child, sensitive to people, energy, and the unseen. Looking back, I was doing energy work long before I had words for it. I remember praying over someone at church with my hands on them, not realizing it was my first Reiki session.
For much of my young life, I struggled to feel at home in my body. Being deeply sensitive meant that the world could feel overwhelming, and I found ways to soften and manage all that I was feeling. My relationship with my body—and eventually my reverence for it—began to deepen when I found my yoga practice in New York City in 2008.
What started as a workout became a doorway into a much deeper relationship with my body, breath, energy, and consciousness. Yoga gave me a structure for understanding what I was feeling and a way to learn how to direct my energy rather than simply be overwhelmed by it. Over time, I began to genuinely love being in my body.
My path continued through teaching, somatics, meditation, ancient teachings, yogic philosophy, the chakras, Reiki, and eventually sound. In 2019, while living in Asheville, I became a yoga teacher, primarily teaching gentle and restorative yoga, holding space for pregnant bodies, and gathering with women in circles. Around that same time, I bought my first crystal bowl and began bringing my cello into the yoga space. A small curiosity about sound slowly became a much deeper exploration of its therapeutic and transformative potential.
Then, amidst the rockiness of COVID, Nick and I somehow landed back on Ocracoke—the island where we first met and where he grew up. It was here that the different threads of my life began to come together. I received my Reiki attunements, began working with clients one-on-one, spent a year and a half studying the Akashic Records, and continued exploring the therapeutic aspects of sound.
In 2022, Little Rituals was unexpectedly birthed—and expanded the flow and depth of my work in ways I couldn’t have planned. Through Little Rituals and my work with clients, my relationship with the energetic field, my own body, and my intuition has continued to deepen. So has my reverence for the body as temple, for sound and frequency as a conduit for transformation, and for the subtle ways energy moves through us and guides us in our lives.
Today, my work brings these threads together: body, sound, energy, intuition, ancient teachings, yoga, and our relationship to what we can feel but can’t always explain. At the heart of all of it is a belief that there is something inherently wise within each of us. My work is to create the space to listen for it, trust it, and remember how to let it move through you.

In person on Ocracoke, or from wherever you are.
Whether you call this island home, you’re here for a week, or we’ll only ever meet on a screen, you are so welcome. Come as you are, exactly as you are today, and we’ll begin there.
She truly cares, and her care is so medicinal on a soul level. Inspiration is inevitable in her presence.Claire Bilbao · EcoTherapist + Retreat participant
I felt suspended in the sound, like relaxing in a hammock, as the beautiful and unique sounds just ebb and flow… and when we finished I was so much more peaceful than when I arrived.Laura · Sound meditation guest
Credentials + Experience
Trained, and still training.
I have never chased a credential for status. I went looking for the mechanics of what I had been feeling since I was a child — and I continue to work with and embody these modalities myself, in support of my own life and the people I work with.

Coming home to yourself isn’t a destination. It’s a practice. A returning, again and again.
And it’s one I am still making, too.
