Fern Vuchinich has been practicing Earth-based pagan traditions working as an astrologer, teacher, and healer since 1990. She's completed advanced training and received degrees in many modalities, including ancestral healing, acupressure, herbalism, energy healing, and massage. She also earned a master's degree from Sonoma State University, a teaching credential from San Francisco State University, and a certification from Steven Forrest's Evolutionary Astrology program.

Fern's path was profoundly shaped by the decades-long mentorship of artist, astrologer, and all-around wise woman Asata Gabriel, who taught her about astrology, intuition, plant medicine, and much more. 

"My great-grandmother Maria Souza was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where they have a celebration very similar to the Day of the Dead called Dia de Finados. Honoring my ancestors and beloved dead has long been an integral part of my spiritual life." Fern's also studied Daniel Foor's ancestral medicine teachings and has spent the last several years delving deeper into her own ancestral healing with one of his practitioners.

Fern believes that one of the major doorways into healing is through the study of your ancestral lineage and that astrology can be a powerful way to access the lessons and blessings of your ancestral line.
