About Walela

Greetings and a warm welcome! My name is Diane Swanson. I am the owner of Walela Institute of Imaginal Healing, an alternative, holistic sanctuary nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills in Sonora, CA.

I am an intuitive, empath, vibrational healer and a Forrest Trained Master Level Evolutionary Astrologer. I have helped hundreds of clients find their way through breaking karmic patterns and outworn, outgrown habits and directing their energy to the evolution of their soul’s purpose.

My specialty is working with trauma, codependency and addiction. My background includes 30 years as a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor. I have a rich history of study and credentials including Certified Yoga teacher, Certified Massage Therapist, herbalist and shamanic practitioner.

In addition to doing astrological readings and consultations, I design and make custom astrological gemstone jewelry and pendulums based on a client’s birth/natal chart. My designs are beautiful, elegant, unique and of impeccable quality.. I have always had a love for crystals and the energetic power of stones. My deep love for nature is an inspiration in my all my creative endeavors.

I also make a line of handcrafted, wildcrafted gem elixirs and flower essences. I formulate custom remedies based on astrological consultations, using a client’s birth chart or their current transits or secondary progressions. I am available for consultations either in person or via Zoom.

Looking forward to working with you!
