Dr. Velma Love
Connect with your ancestral lineage and explore Ori — the innate and divine consciousness residing within — to heal trauma from the stories you were born into, creating a roadmap for positive social impact and fulfilling your life’s purpose.
As our world navigates one crisis after another, we’re experiencing a profound evolution in consciousness as the collective cries out for new healing energies...
Have you felt the call to step forward into your personal power and finally release your genius into the world — feeling confident and equipped to make a difference as only you can?
The world certainly needs you! Yet, even as you boldly answer this call, you may have encountered a mysterious form of resistance...
You might feel disconnected, uncertain, and confused as you experience a sense of longing for something that’s still missing.
According to Dr. Velma Love, an ancestral lineage healing practitioner, you’re likely feeling stuck because you haven’t yet connected with your own support team of ancestors in the spiritual realm.
Once you connect to your ancestors (both blood and cultural), you’ll discover their stories from long ago — the ones you’ve been unknowingly living out in your life today – that have kept you from fulfilling your destiny. You have an ancestral inheritance from a larger cultural family than you might be aware of, made up of kindred spirits whose life experiences are similar to yours.
You can then heal the trauma within these stories you were born into and uncover the story you were meant to live, courageously bringing it into existence — so your transformation moves beyond you and into our world, becoming part of the global shift in consciousness.
Join us for a powerful new hour-long event as Velma shares how you can connect with your ancestors to activate your inner power — by excavating their evolutionary experiences that explain the hard-wired stories that you’re living out right now.
Velma will explain how, by connecting and ultimately dialoguing with wise and well ancestors, you can shapeshift your ancestral story and map out a new way of being in the world, with consciousness, awareness, and intentionality.
During the hour, she’ll guide you to contact one of your spirit guides — perhaps an ancestor, an angel, or even an animal — who represents support, light, and love.
As you invite your guide to come closer, you’ll clear your energy field and ask your guide to help you connect to your Ori — your highest consciousness, the blueprint of your soul, the decisions you made before you came into the world — so you can have a deeper understanding of who you are and why you’re here.
Join Velma and discover what’s possible when you connect with your ancestors and heal the stories you were born into — so you can activate new dimensions of genius, stand on your platform of power, embrace your personal medicine, and make a real difference in the world.
In this empowering free online event, you’ll discover:
- A practice to connect with someone in your supporting cast of ancestors
- A process to connect with your Ori — your innate divine consciousness that holds your soul’s blueprint... the “godself” within
- How your personal transformation is related to cultural and global change
- Confidence that, with the help of wise ancestors, you can change your narrative story — by healing the wounds from the stories you were born into
- Ways to expand the notion of who your ancestors are, including both blood and cultural relations, and human and non-human beings
When you join us for this soul-enriching event, you’ll also hear about an opportunity to continue your work with Velma in her new 7-week course. She’ll guide you to use meditation, self-talk, affirmations, journaling, personal ritual techniques, and much more — to connect with your ancestors and shapeshift your own story, becoming anchored in a strong sense of self and expanding your co-creative power to make a meaningful and lasting difference in your own life and in the larger world.

What People Are Saying About Dr. Velma Love..
“I have replaced old pain with new joy, and for the first time in a very long time I have clarity about my spiritual path.”
My work with Dr. Love has been the answer to so many prayers that I have prayed, the witness to sermons I have written to myself, and the manifestation of affirmations that I have posted. Through a chance Zoom meeting that turned out to be a providential moment, I first learned about ancestral lineage healing work. Through my sessions working with Dr. Love, I have found peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation with estranged loved ones. I have replaced old pain with new joy, and for the first time in a very long time I have clarity about my spiritual path. I am deeply grateful for this experience.

“Dr. Velma Love is a truly gifted healer and guide in ancestral reverence practices.”
Dr. Velma Love is a truly gifted healer and guide in ancestral reverence practices. Her ancestral circles provided a rich, grounded container to deepen intimacy with elder spiritual guides and ancestors in service to personal and collective healing. She has a tremendous gift for weaving in the intuitive sparks that create a communal fabric. Her gentle encouragement and support enabled me to cultivate a deeper trust in my own intuition, which offered greater clarity around the ways to live in greater alignment with my vocation and my inherited gifts. I highly recommend joining in on one of her ancestral circle offerings.

“I was able to do the work necessary to delve deep, create clarity, and come away with a solid plan for moving forward.”
At a point where I was seeking clarity about my career path, my spiritual journey, and my next steps, I stumbled upon Dr. Love’s website and scheduled a consultation with her. The moment that she told me about her Life Path Mentoring program, I knew it was not a chance encounter. I signed up immediately. In five sessions, I was able to do the work necessary to delve deep, create clarity, and come away with a solid plan for moving forward. My ancestors showed up and showed out during each session, providing the clarity, wisdom, and guidance that I have been seeking. I held space for deep transformation and healing and I am grateful to my ancestors for sending me her way. I look forward to continuing my healing journey with her.

“[Dr. Velma Love] holds the work with such care, and infuses it with encouragement and wisdom.”
I have a regular ancestral practice. I pour libations and meditate daily. I have sat with my ancestors all of my life, and yet something different happened when I began working with Dr. Love. I not only made a deeper connection to my ancestors, but I also made a deeper connection to my ancestral lineages and most of all to my destiny, to myself, and to my will to live. I am grateful for that. She holds the work with such care, and infuses it with encouragement and wisdom. As an artist, I can sometimes drop into a dark hole. But she gave me my life back and ushered me to a clearing where I could reclaim my values. My shift would never have occurred without that. So I hope she never, ever forgets the presence and power of her work!

I’m so grateful for my sessions with Dr. Velma Love. She has opened my eyes to who I am and where I need to go in my journey. The books, the people who she suggested, have made such an impact in my life. Many times I sit here with tears in my eyes because of the knowledge she has given me.
