Margaret is a spiritual healer and teacher. Her work covers the disciplines of meditation, prayer and contemplation. Mar’s practice of the subtle healing arts is distinctly rooted in her study of nature (form) and spirituality (emptiness). Her life path as a healer and artist is in exploring the spiritual nature of man and uplifting the consciousness of human beings and our shared earth.

From pilgrimages by horse through the Peruvian Andes to sit in ceremony with indigenous elders to periods of solitary retreat in a renowned chapel in the Algarve region of Portugal to water immersions among the aquamarine seas that caress the Pacific and Mediterranean islands, Mar has explored vast spiritual and natural atmospheres that deeply imbibe her work.

Her work is healing through prayer in Spirit. A gentle process Mar explains as, spiritual regeneration and purification. Her individual treatments are scientific demonstrations of love. Healing is the effect of submerging oneself in soul, where mind-body is uplifted to a clearer view of spiritual reality.  

Early in her life, Mar discovered a profound love for the sacred by spending time alone in nature. She was brought onto her path as a healer after curing herself of chronic illness, under the wings of various natural healers, most notably through prayer by two holy women on the north coast of Peru who diagnosed the soul root of her disease as traumatic shock she experienced as an infant and small child. This time in Peru awakened Mar’s innate spiritual sense and led to a personal mentorship with these curanderas. During this time she also led healing retreats in South America and Europe. 

Harrsen’s worldliness allowed her the experience of various cultural traditions where she gained an expansive perspective on healing. Her curiosities led to decades of study in mysticism and metaphysics including Kabbalah and Christian Science. She is certified in the spiritual-somatic practices of Craniosacral Therapy and Sat Nam Rasayan. Her study of Somatic Experiencing also deeply informs her work. Mar has been practicing daily Transcendental Meditation (TM) since 2012. As an ordained minister in the state of California, she officiates wedding ceremonies and facilitates blessings for women and babies. She is a faculty member of Esalen Institute, a non-profit holistic educational center in Big Sur, California.  

Mar lives and works in Ojai, California. She lives closely with the natural world and attributes her wellbeing to the spiritual intelligence and harmony reflected in daily visits to the sea and mountains. She feels the therapeutic aspects of nature are expressions of the Divine. The heart of her work is her private healing practice supporting adults and children both in-person and remotely. She also leads workshops and retreats worldwide. Mar has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, The Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller and Goop.
