Kelly Saindon

Hello!

I'm Kelly Saindon and I am a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, a Master Clinical Social Worker, Death Doula, a trained Grief Group Facilitator, a Lakota Pipe Carrier and a trained Medicine Woman.

For two years, I co-facilitated The Albuquerque Death Cafe and created and facilitated an Art Grief Group at The Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living. After moving to Phoenix in 2025, I started the New Vision Center for Spiritual Living Death Cafe and Art Grief Group. I have also begun to facilitate grief retreats based on the 1400s Lakota Grief Ceremony, create and facilitate women's healing circles and drum circles. For two years, I volunteered as public outreach and education for both The Grief Center and End of Life Options NM. I am a member of both The Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living and the New Vision Center for Spiritual Living in Phoenix, AZ. I helped to establish the non-profit The New Mexico Deathcare Network and was the President of the Board of Directors for it’s first year.

I am honored to provide emotional, spiritual and grief support for all who seek it. I believe in the power of my daily spiritual practices, affirmative prayer and living a life of wholeness and authenticity. I celebrate and participate in my Native American ceremonies, energy and vibrational work and events and gatherings that help support my self-care. I began participating in Native American ceremonies embracing my Native American heritage in the 1990s. I was invited to attend a Lakota Pipe Ceremony in 2013 and have been attending since then. I have been gifted the honor of becoming a Lakota Pipe Carrier.

I use the skills and tools that I have acquired through my education, jobs, life experiences and Native American teachings to facilitate individual and group sacred shamanic rituals. I create a safe space to companion others during life’s challenging times, providing encouragement and support while respecting confidentiality. I help others to expand various types of daily practices and tools to choose from in order to navigate life, reconnect to inner wisdom and return to a deeper sense of wholeness. My role is to honor each person’s unique path with deep empathy, dignity and respect. I am honored to walk alongside you in this healing and sacred work.

Specialties: Helping you achieve Eloheh - harmony, wholeness, peace and abundance!
