Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures around the world. It involves a practitioner, known as a shaman, who enters altered states of consciousness to connect with the spirit world. Shamans act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms, seeking guidance, healing, and insight for themselves and others. They work with spirit guides, ancestors, and natural elements to restore balance and harmony in the individual's life and energy field.

Shamanic energy medicine is a holistic healing practice rooted in ancient traditions that focuses on balancing the energy field of the individual. It aims to address physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances by working with the energy body, using techniques such as soul retrieval, extraction of negative energies, and energy healing to support profound transformation and healing.

This practice benefits anyone undergoing significant life changes or transitions, such as grieving a loss, preparing for a passing, experiencing job changes, moving houses, going through marriage or divorce, dealing with pregnancy loss, or navigating fertility journeys. It supports anyone going through an initiatory process in life.

Expect a safe and sacred space where various techniques will be used to assess and balance your energy field. This may include guided visualization, journeying, energy extraction, and soul retrieval. The session is tailored to your needs and may involve gentle touch or working within your energy field without physical contact.

Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing and bring a journal for integration notes. If you choose, you can bring an eye covering or blindfold; we also have ones you can borrow. Reflect on any specific issues or intentions you have for the session.

Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Bring a journal to take notes during your integration process. If you choose to use an eye covering, a blindfold can be helpful. We also have blindfolds available for use.

All work can be done without physical touch if preferred. I always ask for consent before placing my hand on certain areas of your body and avoid erogenous areas or private parts. I check in beforehand to see if there are any areas you do not want touched. At any point during the session, if you feel uncomfortable, you can ask me to work over the body instead.

The work is very intimate and grounding. You will lay on the floor, and I sit next to you, often holding your hand. The connection to the Earth is important. I use various sensory elements such as essential oils, crystals, smoke, incense, music, drumming, singing, rattling, and playing the harmonica, creating a multi-sensory experience.

Talking and sharing are optional. We begin each session by sharing a cup of tea, during which you can share what’s going on for you and what you’d like to work on, if you choose. It is not necessary to share, as the work is energetic and spiritual, and I can see what needs to be worked on once you give me permission to open the energy field.

After the session, you will rest for about five minutes in a final resting pose. I will leave the room and return with light snacks and tea. I will write down any notes and provide homework for your personal integration. This includes a follow-up email with a personalized integration guide. Sharing about your experience is optional.

It’s recommended to clear your schedule for the rest of the day, drink plenty of water, and nourish yourself well. If possible, take a walk in nature. It’s normal to feel a range of emotions and physical sensations as your body and energy integrate the work done during the session.

Shamanic energy medicine involves working with spirit guides, power animals, and the natural elements, whereas other forms like Reiki focus on channeling universal life force energy. Shamanic practices often involve journeying and ritual to access and restore balance in the energy field, and can be more hands-on and in-depth.

While I am a trained Reiki practitioner, shamanic energy medicine involves additional elements such as spirit world communication and multi-sensory experiences. It is more hands-on and in-depth, offering a more profound and deep level of healing compared to traditional Reiki sessions.

It’s normal to cry, scream, yell, laugh, sing, shout, or even fart during the session. If you need to get up or go to the bathroom, let me know. I will be in a trance but can always be interrupted if you have any needs like water or tissues.

While shamanic energy medicine involves elements of psychic abilities, it is not the same as a psychic reading. I connect with ancestors, past loved ones, and spiritual guides during the session, but the focus is on healing and balancing your energy rather than providing a traditional psychic reading.

All faith systems are welcome in my sessions. I gladly incorporate your belief systems, deities, and figures of ascended masters into the practice. Whether you work with a specific saint, guru, or any other spiritual figure, I welcome that energy into our sessions. I believe all these tools are different versions of the same practices taught in major religions, each of which originally had shamanistic roots.

No, my practice is not witchcraft or voodoo. I work solely with benevolent, positive energy, focusing on what is for the highest good of my clients and all involved. My work is more akin to alchemy, involving a transformative process that aims to benefit your overall well-being

Soul retrieval is a shamanic practice that involves recovering parts of a person's soul that may have been lost due to trauma or significant life events. The goal is to restore wholeness, bringing back vitality and balance to the individual. It is a profound healing process that helps reclaim lost energy and reconnect with one's true self.

Yes, I offer hands-on adjustments infused with a gentle version of my healing practice. These adjustments are always optional and will be discussed before the session begins.

We usually finish each session with an essential oil massage during savasana, the final resting pose. I also provide water and light snacks to help you rehydrate and refresh.
