The name Third Generation Healing is meant to honor my grandmother, mother, and myself and the unique paths we have each taken to help heal others. The three spirals represent each of us, each one independent but coming together as one in different stages.


Since the triskele dates back to 3200 BCE, it has taken on many meanings throughout time. While each of the following interpretations differ slightly, they reflect how energy healing takes on many meanings and creates differing experiences for those who receive it. No matter the meaning, the message is simple and ancient: You are allowed to change. You are meant to evolve. Every part of you is holy.


Third Generation Healing, at its core, is non-linear ancestral repair. That alone places it squarely in spiral wisdom rather than straight-line healing. The triskele represents past, present, and future held simultaneously. It is healing that moves, revisits, and integrates. It is energy that spirals inward to the root cause and outward to impact lineage. Third Generation Healing uses The Body Code and Emotion Code to move through emotional, ancestral, energetic, and somatic layers to help alleviate any physical or emotional discomfort, rather than just focusing on "fixing" symptoms. This means that healing doesn't happen once, it happens in waves and over time. Each session is soft, but goes deeper and provides more clarity as it progresses. It is triskele medicine.


Look through the list of meanings and see which one resonates with you.


  1. Eternal Movement and Becoming: The spirals are never static. They reflect the soul's continuous evolution, the truth that nothing is fixed and growth is sacred.

  2. Balance of the Three Worlds: Body, mind, spirit; past, present, future; earth, sea, sky; The balance is not hierarchical, but relational, and each spiral feeds the other.

  3. Feminine Creative Force: The spiral itself is womb-like, echoing creation, gestation, and birth. The triskele amplifies this as creation in motion, not a single act, but an ongoing unfolding.

  4. The Triple Feminine: The Mother, Maiden, & Grandmother (Crone): This represents the triple feminine archetype, mirroring the cycles of life, the moon, and the soul's maturation.

    1. The Maiden: Beginnings, curiosity, becoming; innocence, exploration, sensuality, and potential.

    2. The Mother: Creation, devotion, embodiment; represents nourishment, responsibility, and generative power.

    3. The Grandmother (Crone): Wisdom, endings, sovereignty; keeper of truth, death-rebirth cycles, and ancestral memory.

  5. When the Triskele Meets the Triple Feminine: The triskele shows us that life moves in spirals, not straight lines. The Triple Feminine shows us how we move through those spirals. The union teaches that we are not meant to stay one thing, and we will return to each phase again and again, each time with deeper wisdom. All stages are sacred and none are superior.
