Robyn Merchant — Psychic Energy Healer in Phoenix, AZ
Working with Clients in the valley — and Virtually, Wherever You Are
Hi, I’m Robyn!
My path to this work unfolded out of the process of my own healing journey. As someone who grew up experiencing chronic stress, severe emotional abuse, and neglect, I developed symptoms that involved reproductive, digestive, and endocrine-driven issues. I also experienced an inability to feel safe in my body and in intimate relationships, feeling as though I couldn't escape scarcity, and being stuck in a constant state of fight or flight.
In the beginning years of my healing, I was utilizing Western medicine approaches, but unfortunately didn't find these approaches were giving me the answers or relief I was looking for on their own. It wasn't until I started to study the nervous system and the correlation between experiencing prolonged trauma and chronic health issues that I finally felt like I was learning about myself.

More About Robyn
I decided to take a holistic approach to my healing by combining all of these modalities and found I was creating and utilizing something deeper and more rewarding than medications and talk therapy alone were offering. I found myself finally connecting the dots between my repressed experiences and how I was feeling, and slowly my symptoms eased and I began to come back to myself.
Most surprisingly to me, my intuitive gifts began to emerge, and I noticed I was able to help others in their healing journey by being able to feel, sense, see, and communicate with the energy in their etheric, mental, emotional, and physical bodies, and the supportive guidance in their energy fields. I also opened my channels to interspecies communication. It brings me immense joy and humility to be able to use my intuitive gifts to help others experience deep healing and transformation.
Doing my inner work with these modalities has resulted in feeling calmer in my body, having more restful sleep and more energy, feeling more patient, tolerant, and capable of moving through emotions, being more trusting and discerning in relationships, being able to handle conflict and repair, feeling safe, experiencing more joy, and feeling confident in who I am and what I am capable of. Staying committed to my inner work is what allows me to remain a clear channel and a compassionate presence for the people I work with. I continue to support my system with energy work, emotional processing rooted in shamanic journeying, and plant medicine. I learn something new about myself in these practices every day.
I believe the combination of my experience and training as a therapist, my intuitive abilities, and my commitment to my inner work allows me to bring a unique presence to hold you safely in your healing. Our relationship is the most important component to your healing; as such, I am intentional about creating a warm, calming, accepting, and nurturing connection for us to transform in. If you are looking for healing that is deeper and more sacred than what you have experienced before, I am the guide for you!
I am available in person in Tempe, AZ, or virtually worldwide.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming & allied.
