You Didn’t Become a Healer to Burn Out.
We’re taught that being a healer means endless giving, staying quiet, and hiding behind the title of 'provider.' But silence doesn’t pay the bills (sadly), and perfectionism just burns you out (le sigh). You don’t have to be small to be a healer.
At Spiral Tending, we believe your business should be an extension of your healing, not a source of trauma. Whether you are struggling with provider anxiety, feeling isolated in private practice, or just tired of the hustle, you don’t have to do it alone.
Big tech, AI, insurance companies… They make our work super hard, but together we can take the burden off (at least a fraction).
I offer radically honest mentorship that blends practical business strategy with deep emotional support. We untangle the stories keeping you small so you can build a career that aligns with your values, your nervous system, and your life.
Also, hi, I’m Andie.
I am very glad you are here!
How we work together
⤵
-
Aren’t ya hella tired of marketing your life on platforms that make you pay more to be ‘seen?’ Or, being told in most groups that promoting yourself is not ‘okay?’ Healers (all types) generally sustain their practices from referrals, so wouldn’t it make sense to support each other and be supportive referrals for each other? Find out more about the healers listserv here.

Aren’t you sick of looking at insta marketing coaches who sell things utilizing scarcity? I focus our work on being honest & ethical when working with business owners. The largest take away is, you likely already have the skills - you might just need someone to show you how to utilize these skills in a way that grants you the ability to feel more agency and hope for your work. Or, maybe you just need to restructure parts of your business to meet you where you’re at now. Whatever is coming up for you, together we make a plan, and we focus on your values and needs. I offer radically honest business mentorship.

These cohorts are designed to enliven your inner creative being. Burn out, secondary trauma, the hellish system, all these things can take away from our energy. One of the kindest things we can do for ourselves is to find pockets of self presence. These spaces are generally held in the morning. We focus on:
intention setting
ritualizing and routine building
journaling and self inquiry
creative and practices
somatic tools for your long day
You can find out more by following the tab that says groups for healers and click on Morning Practice.
See you there! <3.

Money Flow:
Cohorts dedicated to healing practitioners who wanna be human talking about the thing that we need to survive. Through practical nervous system tools, untangling from our stories, art & journal prompts, community, and play we embark on re-shaping our relationship to money. Especially useful in healing fields that deny or shame folks for needing to make enough money to keep doing a burn out heavy job (not to mention the student debt, am I right?)
Unwinding the Perfectionist Spiral:
Stop perfecting. Start embodying. A 6-week journey for perfectionist healers ready to launch without the anxiety.
You have the training. You have the intuition. You have the desire to help people.
But you’re stuck in the spiral:
“If I’m not an expert on everything, am I allowed to charge?”
“My website isn’t perfect yet.”
“I’ll start marketing when I feel ‘ready.’”
Perfectionism tells you that if you wait until you’re flawless, you’ll be safe. But safety isn’t occurring in a frozen state. Your clients don’t need perfection; they need a guide who is willing to walk alongside them and be authentic.
Let’s move from perfectionism to presence.

people in the mental health field
people who are coaches (any kind)
massage therapists, cranial sacral therapists, yoga instructors, acupuncturists… etc
people in the healthcare field
activists, community organizers, etc
& so many other categories!

I started spiral tending because I believe that in the mental health field, there are few support spaces for healers. We witness too much not to be held with greater compassion and care. We need spaces where we can recharge, collapse, exist, and not work.
-
I offer:
1:1 nervous system coaching.
1:1 private practice and small business mentorship.
cohorts for healers dedicated to deeper understanding and nervous system nourishment.
workshops, trainings, and podcasting :).
Why Spiral?
Unspiraling the Pressure to Perform.
Traditional business advice often ignores the reality of healing work and community: it’s emotionally heavy, isolating, and exhausting. My approach is authentic and real.
We use a "spiral"— spiraling back to your values, checking in with your body, and integrating intuition with action. Leave the hustling; it’s about working more authentically and alongside others. We were never meant to work alone; we are most creative together.
When you stop trying to fit into overly ‘professional’ healers, you make space for a business that truly aligns with you.
You are the instrument after all.
The healing fields can ask us to be less human, but what if our biggest strength is our humanness?
