“empowering individuals will empower Our communities and the collective.”
Hello, and thank you for witnessing my story.
I’m Shelby Jutras, the creator of Witness Your Warrior. I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified alcohol and drug counselor, reiki practitioner, yoga instructor and Mother.
Currently, based in Portland, ME I offer Warrior sessions, clinical therapy sessions out of LifeStance health to support adults, couples and families.
It took me a long time to get here. And here, is always evolving. That’s why I practice being an ally for others in my community.
After years of feeling detached, questioning myself and feeling stuck under a veil, I made the decision to start my healing process. I’ve spent thousands of hours in yoga classes, reiki sessions, Ayurvedic workshops, breathwork series, yoga teacher trainings, wellness programs, acupuncture sessions and years of therapy to aid in my own healing. And what has always stood out to me is that each and every one of us wants to be seen. Witness Your Warrior is a support system specifically designed for you to feel seen. It is a place for you to converse, grow and return home to yourself.
In addition to what I have experienced in the wellness community, I have also gained a great deal of insight from single parents, people in recovery, individuals living with severe mental illness, trauma survivors, refugees and so many more. Social work has brought me to a higher level of integrity and ethical standard in all areas of my life. It’s also what led me to the foundation of my spiritual practices.
After nearly a decade I decided to pair my passion for therapy and alternative healing. I started with sharing different forms of healing practices in clinical sessions, and soon realized that I could marry these two worlds . It was here I arrived into heart centered work, and when I finally gave myself permission to outline a career that values growth fostering relationships. Today I am living out my passions, and lead a life based in love, not fear or productivity.
I look forward to meeting with you 1-1, sharing space in a yoga class or creating profound healing together in my Warrior sessions. We’re all Warriors, and sometimes we need a little extra help lighting our fires.
Thank you for being here friend,
Shelby LCSW, CADC, Reiki II, 200YTT
