WHO WE ARE

Carolyn is a NIASZIIH healer in her seventh year of study and teacher training at the wildernessFusion Healing School in Asheville, NC. Her passion for healing eye diseases began after she healed her own eyes from a condition that once caused blindness. Guided by the NIASZIIH philosophy, Carolyn’s vision is to heal, learn, love, and teach in ways that help others create meaningful change in their lives. Carolyn also breeds therapy dogs on her historic farm in Pfafftown, where she owns Salem Manor Australian Labradoodles.  Many of her dogs now serve as beloved companions—bringing joy, comfort, and healing to people and families around the world. You learn more about Carolyn on her website or email her for a private healing appointment. 

Brittney grew up on a small farm in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where her love for nature and healing first took root. She’s a wife, mom of two, and proud dog mom to a therapy dog in training. Her journey to becoming a healer and therapist began after many years in higher education, when she felt called to support others on their own paths of growth and self-discovery. Now a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA), certified meditation teacher, and NIAZSIIH Healing and Bodywork practitioner in her sixth year of training and teaching apprenticeship with wildernessFusion, Brittney weaves together mindfulness, nature connection, and holistic healing in her work. She believes that true healing begins when we return home to ourselves. To learn more about Brittney or to schedule a private session, please visit her local healing practice, The Holistic Hive.

Anna completed four years in the NIASZIIH Healing program in January 2023.​​ With a juris doctor degree, a professional background in education, and a number of published writings, Anna has experienced many opportunities for growth. Her healing journey began around the birth of her fourth child. When western medicine could not (and would not) help her, she turned to alternative therapies. This long personal journey ultimately led her to wildernessFusion and NIASZIIH healing, where she realized she had both found her people and a renewed sense of purpose. The road toward healing for herself had transformed into a journey toward helping others. Anna continues her own internal healing work and offers her experience as a threshold for others to navigate their way through the time we each have here on Earth.
