Meet the Damsel Detox Team
Spring Sage
Hypnotherapist | Subconscious Story Coach | Queen of the Damsel Detox Kingdom
Founder of Saging the Mind & Damsel Detox Podcast Host
Spring Sage is a guide for those standing at the edge of their own unraveling—the moment when the old story no longer fits, and the rescue never arrives. A former ER and NICU nurse turned subconscious story coach, Spring spent years holding space at the threshold of life and death. Now, she helps people cross internal thresholds—emotional, spiritual, and archetypal—with just as much reverence.
Her signature method, Storybook Regression, blends hypnosis, NLP, storytelling, and archetypal decoding to unearth hidden parts of the self and unlock the wisdom inside life’s most painful catalysts. Using fairytales and storytelling as mirrors, metaphors, and maps, she teaches that healing isn’t about being saved—it’s about remembering the magic that’s always been yours. Clients say she helps them uncover what’s been buried within—and use their pain as a portal to power.
When she’s not guiding subconscious journeys, you’ll find her in the Pacific Northwest, tending her fairy forest, mothering three brilliant humans (and one new grandchild), playing with her sidekick Princess Marley Nola and rewriting every rule she once lived by.
Elissa Schwarz
Resident Shamanic Practitioner | High Priestess of Shamanic Gateways
Founder of Touch of Soul & Damsel Detox Podcast Co-Host
Raised under the wide skies of Montana, where resilience and reverence for the land are stitched into everyday life, Elissa Schwarz grew up chasing the threads of magic hidden in the natural world. Like many she now guides, she spent years searching outside herself for answers, only to discover the deepest wisdom had been singing within her all along.
Today, she lives in sunny California, where ocean breezes and ancient earth rhythms inspire her work. She’s a devoted mother to two tweens, balancing soul work and everyday life with grit, grace, and an unstoppable heart.
As a Shamanic Practitioner, musician, and lifelong seeker, Elissa has walked through grief, growth, and profound rebirth. She knows the terrain of seeking and surrender — and she knows how to help others rise from it with courage and soul.
As High Priestess of Shamanic Gateways, Elissa brings the medicine of the unseen into the everyday, guiding others to heal, awaken, and reclaim their power with compassion and courage.
Rich Orndoff
Master Life Coach | Hypnotherapist | Guardian of Sacred Boundaries
Founder of Limitless Hypnotherapy & Damsel Detox Podcast Guest Co-Host
Coach Rich is the steady fire in the hearth—the one who doesn’t flinch when the story gets dark. With the soul of a monk and the edge of a warrior, he’s spent decades helping others confront the shadows they were told to ignore: addiction, grief, trauma, and the silent wounds carried in the body.
As the Guardian of Sacred Boundaries in Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within, Coach Rich brings masculine medicine that doesn’t dominate—it holds, witnesses, and calls forward truth. He’s not here to fix you. He’s here to remind you that you’re already whole, and to help you reclaim the parts of yourself you gave away trying to stay safe.
Blending clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, martial arts wisdom, and trauma-informed coaching, Coach Rich walks with clients across the burning bridges of their past—and into the grounded power of self-sovereignty.
His strength is quiet. His clarity is fierce. And his presence? The kind that holds the door open until you’re ready to walk through it.
Every transformation begins with a single step — and a few good allies. Meet the team who helps light the path.
Luminara
Resident Storyteller | Guardian of Thresholds | Keybearer of Damsel Detox
Forged in the humid magic of South Louisiana—where bayous whisper and ancestors still stir—Luminara was born of stardust, stubbornness, and stories too old for books. She once believed magic was something you waited for. Then she remembered: real power doesn’t show up with a rescue. It shows up when you do.
Carrying a key instead of a wand (because she doesn’t wave—she unlocks), Luminara now serves as the Guardian of Thresholds for Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within, guiding others to the doors they forgot were theirs to walk through.
She’s not sugar and sparkle—she’s sass, shadow, and sacred remembering. She’ll whisper when needed, roar when called, and nudge you past every story that says you’re too much, not enough, or need saving.
Her key isn’t just a symbol. It’s an invitation.
Because real magic isn’t handed to you.
It’s claimed, carried, and lived—by those brave enough to come back to themselves.
Ezra
Resident Guide | Guardian of the Wild Self
Forged from earth, instinct, and a stubborn refusal to settle for half-truths, Ezra was never the kind to wait for permission to become who he was meant to be.
Where others see a locked door, Ezra sees a wall ready to crumble. He doesn't carry a key — he is the key: steady, unshakable, and fiercely loyal to the wild truth inside every seeker he meets.
As the Resident Guide and Guardian of the Wild Self at Damsel Detox: Awakening the Hero Within, Ezra helps people reclaim the parts of themselves they abandoned to fit in. His strength isn’t loud — it’s the kind that hums deep in your bones and reminds you who you were before the world told you who to be.
He knows the terrain of transformation by heart — not because he read the map, but because he became it.
