About Dr. Marie Rodriguez
I approach healing from lived experience rather than intellectual concepts, studied frameworks, or protocols. My path is shamanic and experiential - guided by direct revelation and embodied knowing. Every teaching I’ve studied has been alchemized through my own body and life and integrated into my own methodology.
My personal healing has never been separate from my professional path. Being immersed in this field continually invites reflection, integration, and application in my own life.
I have consciously worked to release victim-based patterns and step into a grounded sense of warriorship. This allows me to hold faith in others’ healing capacity - sometimes before they are able to hold it themselves.
As a Naturopathic Physician and Energy Healer, I truly believe in our body’s innate healing wisdom, and I feel passionate about helping others gain access to their inner power.
My work has been shaped by decades of clinical practice as well as my own long and layered healing journey.
I created Integrative Energy Healing through both necessity and a calling.
My Healing Path
Like many healers, my early life was shaped by the very common - and often overlooked - childhood trauma of emotional neglect. This shaped my nervous system, my sensitivity, and made me self-reliant to a fault. My ongoing healing process has been a central thread of my life’s work and informs how I am able to hold space for others with depth and compassion.
Over the years, I have moved through significant loss, periods of illness - including an eight year ‘stint’ of insomnia, as well as profound life transitions - an epic divorce that truly became a rite of passage. That chapter stripped things down to the bone. It required me to reclaim my voice, establish clear boundaries, and step fully into self-advocacy. Through that initiation, I came to understand how essential it is for every woman to be able to access her inner warrior - to heal the survival pattern of collapse and step into deep rooted self-belief.
Training & Practice
I have been in naturopathic practice since 2002 and bring over two decades of experience as a craniosacral practitioner. My journey into medicine began as a stressed-out, burned-out, pre-med chemistry student who became disillusioned with the impersonal nature of conventional healthcare following my own knee surgery.
Naturopathic medicine offered a more personal orientation - one that honored the body’s intelligence, the therapeutic relationship, and healing as a whole-person process.
Over time in private practice, I saw clearly that many people were not healing because the deeper layers driving their symptoms weren’t being accessed. This was true for me at the same time - supplements were offering me little relief from adrenal exhaustion and insomnia.
My own personal healing came primarily through energy-based methods, somatic therapy and spiritual practice. I was deeply inspired to pursue extensive training in energy-based healing, shamanic practice, Buddhist meditation, family constellation work, trauma-informed care, and long-term spiritual study.
Through decades of training and my own inner work, I have developed a capacity to witness, contain, and hold space in a way that many people find difficult to access elsewhere. Clients often report significant shifts simply from being deeply seen and heard before any technique is applied.
Bloodline Healer
I also identify as an ancestral healer. My healing journey is not just about my own personal healing, it also confronts the unhealed patterns and traumas carried forward in my family line. Because these patterns were never fully witnessed or processed, they live on as imprints in my blood, bone, and tissue.
We often live out patterns our ancestors didn’t have the chance to heal or make sense of. This work is about turning toward what was left unresolved and giving it the witnessing it never received. Our lives are not separate from those who came before us. Our bodies still carry what is asking to be witnessed, felt, and healed.
In addition, I am highly creative, intuitive, and carry a nomadic streak - I cherish my time traveling the globe. The rich tapestry of senses and experiences that travel provides fuels my inner artist and heals all my younger parts that long for freedom and expression. I’m a visionary. I’ve always thought outside of the box which enables me to see connections and possibilities that are not always obvious to other medical and healing practitioners. This is my gift so I can work with complex human and energetic systems.
Creative expression, movement, time in nature, and art are integral to my life and help keep my work grounded, embodied, and alive.
Big Ideas, Real Impact.
Spiritual Warriorship
My spiritual path has been wide and deep. Once I was free to explore spirituality on my own terms after leaving my Catholic upbringing, I turned instinctively toward nature and experienced a profound sense of healing and belonging.
For more than a decade, I have been nourished by non-dual teachings, meditation, and contemplative practice through Bön Buddhism - alongside Animistic and earth-based traditions. These paths taught me acceptance, non-judgment, have softened my ego and have greatly solidified a connection to Nature and Her cycles. Approaching life through this lens helped me cultivate a grounded sense of self which I find essential for maintaining my sovereignty in the chaotic denial-based world we are in.
My healing work has consistently placed me on the front lines of human suffering. Through this work - especially during the pandemic - I encountered levels of darkness and fragmentation in the collective psyche that I had previously only been peripherally aware of. These experiences were deeply sobering and clarified for me that darkness is real, and often subtle and unrecognized. (Our busy, chaotic world is a big distraction from this.)
It became clear that while Buddhist and Animistic practices offered profound insight and grounding, they were not sufficient on their own to provide the spiritual protection required for the work I was being asked to do. These experiences led me to return to the faith tradition I was raised in.
Today, I enjoy an uplifting relationship with God as a source of protection, strength, and clarity. This relationship provides spiritual containment and discernment that I consider essential for those working deeply with trauma, illness, and suffering - both personally and professionally.
The Work I Offer
Integrative Energy Healing™ is a proprietary approach I developed through decades of clinical practice and lived experience. It weaves together energy-based healing with naturopathic medicine, herbal medicine, and homeopathy.
This work is guided by vis medicatrix naturae - the healing power of nature that lives innately within each of us. Healing arises from the body’s own intelligence.
Integrative Energy Healing unfolds over time. Sessions are informed by intuition, lived history, symptoms, life themes, dreams, and clear intention. Each session begins by listening to what the body is communicating and working with what is most relevant in that moment.
This work is not protocol-driven and not focused on quick fixes. It is for those who are ready to engage in a deeper process of healing, integration, and becoming.
