We are a network of Indigenous traditional practitioners and collaborators guided by the teaching that healing is unconditional love.
Uut Uuštukyuu Healing Services
What We Do.
Our network provides healing services across Vancouver Island and onto the Mainland. Our framework of practice embeds mentorship and guidance for individuals and communities in order to build internal capacity for providing culturally appropriate wellness in communities.
Demand for our services from often exceeds our capacity as a formal entity. Uuštukyuu take each request as it comes and healers are able to connect individually through phone or online.
Cultural Consultation
Uut Uuštukyuu Society provides cultural consultation for nonprofits, corporations, governments, and nations. We design and facilitate planning processes, with or without Uut ceremonies, ensuring culturally informed approaches.
Our work includes developing therapeutic programs that integrate Indigenous knowledge for holistic well-being. Whether for events, strategic initiatives, or program development, we offer expertise to foster respectful engagement with Uut traditions, strengthening relationships and deepening cultural understanding across diverse sectors.
Our Goals.
Traditional healing law is such that requests for healing from Ahusma (those requiring healing) must be met. We prioritize working with children and youth, and the transmission of culture and knowledge.
We also work to educate western practitioners about the legitimacy and authority of Indigenous healing practices and ceremony.
