Website Design and SEO
Welcome to Encircling the Sacred, where my main focus is on rites of passage and eco-therapy.
Alongside these passions, I also have a deep love for designing websites as it fuels my creativity. Through website design, I assist individuals in sharing their unique gifts with the world by showcasing their meaningful work and enabling it to reach a wider audience.
With a specialization in search engine optimization, I work to ensure that your website maximizes visibility and effectively connects with your target audience, reducing the reliance on social media for promotion. My ultimate goal is to create a website that resonates with you and allows people to deeply connect with your work.
Let me help you turn your vision into reality and create a platform that truly represents your offerings to the world.
A healing journey through life
Thank you for being here. If you’re looking for an alternative approach to healing and a guide to help you find your way through life's confusing, joyful, connecting, and troubled waters, you have found the right place. I am dedicated to helping you remember and reclaim your innate wholeness and all parts of yourself including your connection to your community, the moment, and soul.
I focus on guiding people to continuously return to the wisdom held in their bodies and in the broader body of the earth. Because being in touch with one’s whole self helps our relationships, sense of self, identity, purpose, and belonging, more easily unfold in mythic, fulfilling, and soulful ways. I specialize in eco-therapy practices, grief tending, somatic dreamwork, rites of passage, rituals, and big changes/transitions.
Eco Somatic and Grief Therapist
Madison Ledgerwood, MA
I am a wilderness guide, eco-therapy practitioner, dream worker, ritualist, and grief specialist committed to helping people learn how to be transformed by their experiences rather than stifled by them. I can support you in navigating transition, change, transformation, and initiatory times in your unique and potent way.
What clients are saying about in-person and online therapy:
“No doubt Madison is skilled, experienced, and educated... however, it is a deeply embodied core that sets the tone for the transformational container that is her presence. From her gaze, seated and settled, to her quick laughter that lands like a sip of spiced honey tea or a long hug, to her open and accepting posture that can hold any manner of grief and complexity, being with Madison feels like holding space with a young elder. A glimpse of being met and witnessed by our own wild and wise self.”
- Stephanie, previous client
“Madison interweaves and honors all parts of my being. She leads and holds me during our sessions and through life, with deep wisdom and powerful presence, compassionately uncovering and gently tending to wounds - some I didn’t even realize were there. She balances joy, curiosity, magic, accountability, purpose, and emergent action with grace.”
- Leah, Previous client
