Rae Riedel, DC, CCN, MSP – Lead Assistant
Dr. Rae has 30+ years of experience in natural medicine. She is a Doctor of Functional Medicine and of Chiropractic. Always curious and motivated to learn, she pursued and completed a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology and met Thomas while doing her thesis work.
Read More ▼While she intuited the inseparable unity of body and mind, psyche and soma, Thomas’ work spoke directly to her heart and unveiled a deeper connections and a mystically informed way of working and being with clients… and with all of humanity.
Her study since has continued, incorporating the mindfulness and somatic skills of Hakomi and NARM. She also is an Integrative Breath Instructor and Facilitator, internationally facilitating and certifying others in an integrative approach to Conscious Breathwork.
She has intensively studied nature-based wisdom. Rae’s own personal journey of healing has taken her from the homes of shamans in the jungles and high altiplano of Peru, to medical missions in Nepal. In individual sessions and groups, her focus is on building awareness of and modifying the responses to the trauma held in our bodies so we can open to the natural expression of feeling, connection, and essence – the hallmarks of an authentic and healthy life!
Rae has been a student of Thomas’ since meeting him in 2011, assisting him in his US based programs, including the Timeless Wisdom Training, and is a Co-teacher for the US-PGLT (Practice Group Leader Training). She is deeply committed to her own continued learning and unfolding in this rich field of embodiment work.

Samuel did his first retreat with Thomas in 2011, and was deeply inspired by his precise healing work, his mystical vision, and his innovative group facilitation. He has been studying with him ever since and feels he has benefited in so many ways from Thomas’s influence. Thomas’s guidance has helped Samuel to deepen his healing practice and expand the impact of his work with men’s groups and the Bay Area Practice Group.
