I’m Carrie Seay - owner and creator of Mantis Creative Wellness. Of the many things that I am, I am an artist, a healer, and a teacher. I’m a lover of beauty and comedy, and a bit of a disgruntled spirit. Just like my clients, I am here working out how to feel more alive and comfortable in this body on this human journey. I help facilitate your healing process by “listening” to the many levels of your being and connecting with your incredible innate healing capacities, facilitating your healing process in a way that is in alignment with you.

Through guided meditation and creative expression, I support and help facilitate your individual healing journey. My passion is to make healing accessible. I love to empower you, helping you connect with your own powerful healing capacities, putting those capacities to work, and having some fun while doing it!

The main tools I use in my practice to facilitate connecting and healing are guided meditation, cranio-sacral therapy, and creative expression. I have found these tools through many years of trying just about everything to feel emotional and spiritual relief for myself. My main challenges/opportunities are with complex PTSD, severe depression and anxiety, and I am a highly sensitive person. Because of these conditions and how my nervous system and brain functioning have been affected, it has been very difficult for me to trust and connect with myself and with my body. These tools have consistently greatly helped in my own healing process. I now am able to experience a sense of gratitude for the things that have made it so difficult for me to enjoy my life, for my experiences are also what makes it possible for me to really relate to, and help empower those of you with similar difficulties/challenges.

I have worked with groups as a practitioner on healing retreats, both locally and distantly, as a cranio-sacral practitioner and meditation/art facilitator. I practice as a cranio-sacral therapist and guided meditation facilitator in The Light Clinic, a traditional Chinese acupuncture clinic located in Frankfort KY. I have also worked with the VA through Camp Brown Bear, a retreat center for veterans to receive healing and self care, located on a farm in Frankfort KY,

I have a BA in art (photography) form the University of Louisville 1999, with post bac work in education and textiles. I have a certificate in Intuition Medicine from Francesca MaCartney’s Energy Medicine program taught to me through the Center for Intuitive Awareness, and have received my cranio-sacral training through the Upledger Institute. I am currently a member of, and teacher for, Broadway Clay in Frankfort Ky where I hand build and sell fun things in clay. I also intuitively paint in watercolor, encaustic, and tempera for fun, therapy, and self expression.
