Rhea Eady, MSW, RSW
Like many, Rhea wears an array of hats. She is the founder of Sacred Moon Therapies, a mother, sister, daughter, lover of the land, sacred space holder, and a Registered Social Worker. In some spaces, people identify her as a medicine woman. She adores supporting those who yearn to lead a heart-centered life. Many people she serves are awake to the impact of their lived experiences and are seeking deeper healing and more purpose in their lives.
She sees life as a mystery, including the challenges, sorrows, celebrations and joys which create the rich tapestry of our unique experiences. Rhea enjoys working with those open(ing) to their spiritual gifts, and those curious about understanding their emotional patterns, relationships & inner landscape. She takes an attachment focused lens and is certified in EMDR. She loves guiding leaders, professionals, mystics, creatives, and healers through challenges so they can live a grounded, potent, and meaningful life.
Rhea grew up on the land surrounded by plants, animals, and the rhythms of nature. She is an empath and a lightworker, deeply grounded in her clinical abilities and anchored in her gifts. Rhea is a seeker of themes and patterns, and a connector of dots. She aims to empower.
“The moon is whole all the time, but we can’t always see it. What we see is an almost moon or not-quite moon. The rest is hiding just out of view, but there’s only one moon, so we follow it in the sky. We plan our lives based on its rhythms and tides.” - Jeanette Winterson
