Spring Sage

Damsel Detox Podcast Host

Hypnotherapist | Subconscious Story Coach

Founder of Saging the Mind & Damsel Detox

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.

Rich Orndoff

Damsel Detox Podcast Season 2 Co-Host

Master Life Coach | Clinical Hypnotherapist
Founder of Limitless Hypnotherapy


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, 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.

Elissa Schwarz

Damsel Detox Podcast Season 1 Co-Host

Shamanic Practitioner
Founder of Touch of Soul


Raised under the wide skies of Montana, where resilience and reverence for the land are stitched into everyday life, Elissa 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.


Meet the two mythical guardians who walk beside you in the Damsel Detox realm—offering keys, mirrors, questions, and clues.

Luminara Spring

Mythical Guardian of Damsel Detox + Saging the Mind
Key bearer of Thresholds and Sacred Insight

Luminara arrives like springtime—when the story begins to thaw, when the old script no longer fits, and something deeper starts to stir beneath the surface.

Born of stardust, stubbornness, and stories older than memory, she carries the heat of the South Louisiana bayous and the wisdom of every ancestor who ever whispered, “There’s more.”

She holds a key instead of a wand—the kind that unlocks what you tucked away when the world told you to hide it. Real magic rises when you come home to yourself.

As the keeper of Damsel Detox’s oracle messages and Secret Scrolls, she offers moments of mythic clarity—breadcrumbs from your future self and gentle guidance from the edge of transformation.

She carries the name Spring because she knows how to beckon life from the underworld. She brings the part of you that’s been buried back into bloom.

Her presence brings vision, grit, and sacred remembering.
Her questions lead you inward.
Her timing is never random.

When Luminara appears, something ancient in you does too.

Rowan Sage

Mythical Guardian of Damsel Detox
Keeper of the Wild & Untamed Truth


Rowan doesn’t arrive. They emerge—when the enchantment begins to break and truth rises louder than the spell you’ve been living under.

Neither threat nor savior, Rowan is instinct made visible—fierce, loyal, and impossible to tame.

Inspired by Spring Sage’s sidekick husky (Marley Nola) and the lessons of loyalty, presence, and protection, Rowan is a reminder of the beauty and the beast within all of us—the one who holds boundaries with devotion and honors the sacred rage that lives beneath silence.

They carry the name Sage because they hold wisdom that doesn’t need words—truth that’s felt in the body, known in the bones, and revealed when the mind finally rests.

They are the keeper of the moment when you choose to stay, to see, to transform—not out of force, but because your soul is finally ready.

Rowan offers the journal prompts and embodied reflections that help you reclaim your inner wilderness.


Where Luminara offers the key, Rowan holds the mirror.


From the realm of Saging the Mind — where every story begins, your power awakens, and the key you seek is the one you already carry.
