Introducing
Pauline Torrey-Magret is a Nature-Based Human Development Guide, Mentor, and Coach. She facilitates the Community Mindful Circle in The Way of the Council at Vita Art Center in Ventura, CA. She offers Soul Medicine Counseling through embodied awareness, deep listening, the art of mirroring, expressive movement, and integrative somatic resourcing. Pauline also owns a medical practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Ventura, California.
Pauline is a Medicine Woman who shares her knowledge and experience-based somatic practices, activating imaginal landscapes from within to explore the Nature of Our Human Soul. She offers deep and resonant treatments in both group settings and individually. Her craft weaves our stories by inviting us to remember who we truly are, addressing the longing for meaning and fulfillment in times of chaos and uncertainty, and offering conversations exploring stages of our development that need to be revisited.
As a physician, Pauline has witnessed the remarkable ability of humans to heal. It is her true conviction that when we lose our internal rhythm and our connection to the natural world, we are no longer in alignment and are innately searching for our internal compass to find our psychospiritual center.
We develop ways to relate to our bodies and stories during different segments of our lives. This allows us to grow according to our life experiences. There is no itinerary, just many maps to navigate, which are unique to each individual. Ultimately, though, we all strive for self-love, self-worth, health, and wellness.
Our human potential resides in the ability to remain open and curious, in the ability to adapt to change, and in the ability to learn to feel safe and secure within ourselves. When traumas occur, our physiology changes, and so do our stories. Pauline T-Magret’s Medicine provides the resources, the sacred space, the tools, and the unconditional care necessary to develop unique treatments to address, every time, the optimal road toward a mindful state of being.
