Welcome to the Babaylan-Inspired
Practice of Cai Beaulieu
I welcome psychotherapists into my practice.
I invite therapists whose bodies, lineages, and practices have been shaped by colonization and who feel a pull toward relational and Indigenous ways of healing. This is a tending space for living in the in-between—between survival within colonized systems and the longing to return to body, ancestors, land, water, community, and self. We tend together, making space for what wants to be revealed in its own way and time. This is not therapy.

I offer this tending space online and on stolen Nʉmʉnʉʉ Sookobitʉ (Comanche), Ndé Kónitsąąíí Gokíyaa (Lipan Apache), Coahuiltecan, Tonkawa, and Jumanos land (in Austin, Texas).

I am a Babaylan-inspired practitioner with deep Indigenous roots in Central and Southern Philippines. Long before words, my body was living the passage between colonization, survival within it, and slowly returning to Indigenous belonging. Now, I tend the place where indigeneity and colonization meet, listening for what wants to be returned.
