Jeffrey Rich is an energy healer in an animist tradition living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. After a first career in technology as a software developer, Jeffrey shifted focus to the healing arts, first as a massage therapist in a medical setting and then as a massage therapy instructor at two massage schools in Huntsville Alabama, and then in private practice where he offered orthopedic massage, shamanic healing, and systemic and family constellations. Jeffrey now offers energy healing and systemic constellations exclusively.
Jeffrey received his systemic constellations facilitator training from Francesca Mason-Boring in 2015. In addition to holding his own constellation circles for family and nature constellations for several years, he has participated in circles and training with William Mannle, Camille Adair, Stephan Hausner, and Anngwynn St. Just.
He joyfully collaborated with Andrea Bosbach-Largent as co-faculty in her 20th Anniversary East Coast Constellations Intensive in Highlands, NC in 2021. He was a presenter at the 2017 North American Systemic Constellations Conference in Virgnia Beach, Virginia. Jeffrey has published articles for the Knowing Field and for the Society for Shamanic Practice, and is delighted to be asked to contribute in a tiny way to Francesca Mason Boring's book "The Nature Constellations Handbook: An Invitation to Connection: Re-membering Nature in Systems". He has also been a small-group assistant for Daniel Foor in his Ancestral Lineage Healing courses on more than one occasion. Presently he supports Betsy Bergstrom as an assistant in her online shamanic healing training programs. He has developed and taught shamanic healing training courses of his own for several years.
Jeffrey's understanding of shamanic energy phenomena gives him a unique lens and set of tools for working with the Beings of Nature and place, and with out-of-place Ancestors and Suffering Beings who are exerting negative influences in our Fields and daily life. His special loves are working with Spirits of Nature, Beings of the Land, and with the Ancestors in the many ways in which they show up for us, and with crafting and tending sacred space and circle technology for healing practitioners, teachers, and facilitators and their circles.
