Deb Fate-Mental is an archetypal Wise Woman and has been in practice for almost a decade. Her healing expertise combines traditional plant lore with authentic, old-fashioned shamanism and spiritual healing.  Deb helps people Remember themselves via healings, classes and readings so they may re-connect with Nature and the Divine.  Deb is available for in-person healings and divination in Hopkinton, MA and distance via Skype or phone.   Aside from healing work, Deb is working on a book and is a Druid-in-training.

 

What Deb has to say about what she does…

​

“When I am performing a healing or when I am teaching what I’m really doing is bringing that person into alignment and connection, more specifically nature connection (or interspecies connection) and remembering. That is the current under everything I do. It’s there and it’s what I’m really conveying when I see a client and when I teach. The people who respond the best, whether they’re students or clients, are open to and understand that connection and remember. It’s also what makes me super-fun to have as a teacher and it’s what makes me a powerful healer. It’s what that light is when I work; I remember and can shine out or become that connectedness. It’s imperative that we remember this. That we remember we’re all one family; that we all live on this Earth together in community and we’re all connected. We’ve forgotten this for a very, very long time.”

About the name of the practice:

​

"I decided to name my practice after the Elder, Sambucus canandensis.  The Elder is a very special plant being to me.  She sheltered me when I was a child and is always there for me as an adult.  She's the tree of the fairies in European folklore, the Elder Mor, the Elder Mother.  I feel a deep healing in her presence.  I named my healing practice after her to honor our relationship."

Education

I give deep and heartfelt gratitude to all my human teachers as well as my Spirits and the Plants.  Where would I be without you all?  My teachers have made such an impact on my life and I have been so blessed to be taught by each of them. Much love to all!
