Welcome!

Glad you're here.

I'm Magnolia Medlin, and I am a

therapist, artist, and meditation teacher. 

In my work, I weave together

 somatic therapy

storytelling & song

mindfulness practice

 expressive parts work

and gentle present-moment inquiry

to support adolescents and adults in discovering and embodying greater joy and wellbeing, unrestricted by shame and fear. â€‹â€‹

It is such a gift for me to companion another as they begin to meet themselves with greater curiosity and compassion. Truly, a new world opens, and possibilities emerge beyond the confinements of a mind stuck in cycles of fearful and anxious thoughts, and a body stuck in patterns of armoring and tension.

 

Let’s find those sticking places, discover what’s most needed, and gently open to the flow of receiving.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You want to shift unconscious habits that create suffering and live from a place of greater freedom, awareness, and joy, but the gravitational pull of judgement towards yourself and/or others, fearful thinking, shame, and frustration can feel too strong to counteract on your own. You feel lonely, bored, hyper-alert, or just have a sense that something is missing.

You’re ready to take greater responsibility for your growth and healing, but you also want it to be creative and playful, even when diving deep into the underworld.

You’re finally ready to question the rule of the inner judge that tells you how you’re “supposed to be” all the time, and would like to experience a trustworthy source of inner guidance.

You want to express more freely! Whether it’s singing, crying, writing, dancing, shaking, raging, etc, you’d like to become an open channel for the unique, spontaneous signature of expression that is You.

You’re at a threshold moment in life where something is falling away and you no longer fully fit into the identity you’ve been living as. You’d like creative, compassionate support in moving through this death/rebirth portal time.

You’ve had a powerful non-ordinary experience (i.e. meditation retreat, near-death-experience, psychedelic journey, etc) and would like to integrate this experience more deeply into everyday life.

May these words and images contribute to our collective awakening from the hypnosis of separation. May we remember our true Beauty.
