Ancestral Lineage Healing
In the between and the betwixt
I am Vicky Vail (she/her), a Hard of Hearing practitioner. I have worn hearing aids since I was three and a half years old. I was born to hearing parents and am now learning ASL as an adult.
I walk in liminal spaces, the edges of multiple worlds: not only the hearing and the Deaf worlds, but also the seen and unseen realms, life transitions, and grief. To be in “the between and the betwixt” can be deeply challenging, uncomfortable, and alchemical. I companion people who are at the edges: those whose identity don’t fit neatly in a box, those who are navigating uncertainty, and those longing to deepen their connection with themselves and their compassionate ancestors. As we reclaim our own unique gifts with the support of our ancestors, we can more fully step into who we are and what we’re here to do.
I currently offer Ancestral Lineage Healing sessions supporting clients to connect with their own wise, benevolent ancestors, and then build relationships with them. Supported by our wise ones, personal and family healing is possible, and oftentimes, transformational.
If you are interested in working with me, please contact me.

My Work with Clients
I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University. I am an intuitive and have trained in psychic/mediumship work, shamanic healing arts, ancestral lineage repair, and energy healing. As a highly sensitive person with hearing loss, I regularly utilize the tools I’ve learned along the way to help me ground, regulate, and gain a wider perspective of what’s happening in the moment. When appropriate, I bring in tools to empower clients and guide them to recognize the wisdom of their own bodies and what they perceive. By strengthening trust in ourselves, we can more clearly discern who and what to trust in the world.
My approach to working with clients is compassionate and trauma-informed. I specialize in working with clients who are d/Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or hearing with a foot in the Deaf world. I also work with clients from all social locations who are navigating liminal spaces. My work is guided by these three words: Trust, Acceptance, and Integration. By learning to trust ourselves and the support around us, then bringing acceptance to parts of ourselves that we may have cut off or disconnected from, we can then integrate the work in gentle, grounding ways.
