Marika Clymer
Founder | Owner | Primary Instructor
Marika Clymer was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and spent her childhood hunting and fishing alongside her dad throughout Snohomish County and the greater Puget Sound area. Marika feels that her upbringing gifted her the framework of Energetic Ecology, where she blends energetic medicine with ecological perspectives. She has dedicated her life to this endeavor, with over a decade as a healing practitioner, 7 years in agriculture, a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies, and a lifetime of galavanting through the woods. Her knowledge and expertise is woven throughout many subjects, including Reiki and energy cultivation practices, agricultural mycology, wilderness survival, sustainability, wild plants & fungi, and much more. Marika provides personal healing sessions, mentorships, and opportunities that help bridge the modern divide between body & land.
