About Us – The Healer's Cottage
At The Healer’s Cottage, our mission is to guide individuals and groups on a transformative journey of self-healing. We believe that healing begins from within, and our role is to support each person in discovering the tools, practices, and inner strengths they need to achieve personal wellness. Our philosophy centers on empowerment; helping clients learn how to heal themselves rather than simply seeking external solutions. Whether you are navigating emotional, physical, or spiritual challenges, The Healer’s Cottage offers a nurturing and non-judgmental space to begin your path toward balance and restoration.
We understand that every healing journey is unique, which is why our approach is highly personalized. Rooted in holistic coaching rather than traditional diagnostic therapy, we offer reflective feedback and practical strategies tailored to your individual needs. Natural remedies and wellness practices are thoughtfully integrated where appropriate, and we work collaboratively with clients to determine whether this setting aligns with their goals and needs or whether a more conventional medical approach may be more suitable. If a traditional medical route is deemed more effective, and the client desires it, we are open to working in partnership with those medical practitioners to support a comprehensive healing plan. Currently operating virtually, The Healer’s Cottage will soon offer both virtual and in-person sessions to ensure accessibility, flexibility, and a deeper connection.
Meet Cecelia Garvey-Burche
M.Ed., LMHC, Educational Psychology
With over three decades of dedicated service in the healing arts, Cecelia comes from a family lineage of healers—spanning medical, psychological, and metaphysical traditions. This ancestral influence has deeply shaped her integrative and holistic approach to wellness.
Cecelia holds master’s degrees from Marquette University in both psychology and education, along with an undergraduate degree in communication. A licensed mental health counselor and certified school psychologist, Cecelia also holds a lifetime provision for psychotherapy. In addition to formal training, Cecelia is a lifelong student of esoteric studies, bringing a depth of spiritual insight to her practice.
Throughout her career, Cecelia has worked with individuals, families, and groups across all age ranges and a wide spectrum of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Her work is guided by the principle that healing must address the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. Every approach is tailored to meet the unique needs and personality of the client, ensuring that the process is both effective and empowering.
At the heart of Cecelia’s mission is a clear and powerful objective: to teach and guide others so they can learn to heal themselves. Rather than fostering dependency, her work is centered on awakening each individual’s innate capacity for self-healing, self-awareness, and lasting transformation.
Healing with the Rhythm of the Seasons
At The Healer’s Cottage, I draw upon the wisdom of nature’s cycles to guide each client toward balance and renewal.
The Wheel of the Year reminds us that every season has its purpose—rest and reflection in winter, growth in spring, abundance in summer, and release in autumn.
By incorporating natural remedies and herbs, I connect clients to the Earth’s healing gifts, blending ancient practices with modern understanding.
Each session is designed to foster empowerment, helping clients build inner strength, clarity, and the confidence to take an active role in their own well-being.
My goal is to guide, support, and teach each person so they may ultimately heal themselves and thrive.
