About Colleen Ariel
​
Song Weaver • Sound Alchemist • Mentor and Spiritual Guide
​
Colleen Ariel is the founder and inspiration behind the enCHANTed Healing Center, a sacred heart space dedicated to healing through sound, ceremony, and connection with great spirit. She is a gifted Sound Healing Facilitator, Channeling Guide, and Transformational Mentor, with over 25 years of experience in alternative healing, energy medicine, and traditional Amazonian plant medicine.
Her personal path of healing began after surviving two life-changing car accidents, including one that left her with a traumatic brain injury, broken jaw, broken wrist, severe anxiety, and a recovery journey that lasted nearly five years. These experiences called her to the path of deep self-healing — combining sound therapy, sacred plant medicines, and many ancient spiritual practices. Through devotion, resilience, and guidance from spirit, Colleen transformed her pain into wisdom and now shares these healing tools with others on their journeys of awakening, recovery, and self-discovery.​​
A Lifelong Devotion to Sacred Healing
​
Since 2008, Colleen has studied with Indigenous Elders and master plant teachers across Peru, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Canada, and the U.S. She has apprenticed under several respected maestros, including Don K and Don Ignacio, a fifth-generation Shipibo elder, with whom she completed a three-month strict Mapacho dieta. Her path has also included working with various master plants in both private and community ceremonies.
Colleen holds certifications in Shiatsu Therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Kundalini Yoga, and the Four Winds Light Body School. She is a Shiatsu Therapist of 25 years with the Shiatsu Association of Ontario, and continues to expand her work through meditation, breathwork, yoga, conscious movement, nutrition, and vibrational medicine.
She has also worked alongside her Indigenous Chief Elders in Canada, the USA, Costa Rica, and Peru in Temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremonies, and has participated in Sundances, Long Dances, Moon Dances, and Rain Dances for over 20 years. She has been ceremonially gifted the chanupa pipe by her elder Chief in Canada, which she carries and uses in prayer, blessings, and connection with the spirit world in all her ceremonies.
Sound as Medicine
​
Music has been a guiding force in Colleen’s life since childhood. Encouraged by her musical parents, she began piano lessons at age seven and discovered early on the healing power of sound. Today, her sound journeys include channeled light languages, Shipibo icaros, star songs, and earth harmonics, all woven into unique healing transmissions.
She has released two healing music albums —
Emerald City Wave Sounds (2006), a crystal bowl vibrational CD
Weaving Wings (2015), an ethereal sound healing collection
Her third album will be released across all platforms very soon.
Colleen has received vocal training from Camille Henderson (backup singer for Sarah McLachlan)​​​
