The seed for Ursidae was planted long ago when its founder, lauren k. hickman, turned to healing arts in search of wisdom, clarity, and personal transformation.

Ursidae is a doorway to personal transformation.

By evolving individually, we change the world collectively.

No drama. No manipulation. No miracle promises or programs. No bullsh*t.

Sessions are confidential and my priority is what is best for you—- and that includes referring to other practitioners if I am not your person.

There has been an imperceptible shift.

There has been an imperceptible shift. [since Reiki I Initiation]… my confidence levels have increased and I trust myself a little bit more. Life has not necessarily gotten easier, but my ability to trust the process — that is what I am honing on a little bit more. I feel more perceptive… there have been so many synchronicities since then. I feel much more aware! It has helped me tremendously at work and reframed my approach to how I put my energy towards my responsibilities. When I get home, I am able to disconnect and refocus on the meaningful parts of me.
