Shamanism
Shamanism, currently regarded as new age, is actually one of the oldest healing modalities. A shaman works on four healing points: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual- all vital to good health. This form of healing is gentle yet deep and powerful.
A shaman works in an alterered state of consciousness and travels to the realms of the invisible worlds. They seek solutions and make changes in these invisible worlds to impact healing of individuals in ordinary reality. This can help restore emotional harmony and physical balance.
In a session with me you will be introduced to shamanic concepts and terminology like divination journey, soul loss, extraction, soul retrieval, helping spirits, power animals, and psychopomp work, that describe the different sessions and techniques used in core shamanism. A number of tools such as breath-work, sacred stones, feathers and sounds are used to assist in the process. This form of therapy can provide deep emotional and energetic healing, resulting in release, clearing and clarity.
SHAMANIC HEALING TREATMENTS
arrow_rightDivination Journeys
A practitioner performs a Divination Journey on behalf of their client to get access to the wisdom and counsel of their Helping Spirit. This journey is done to bring answers that will help the client respond to situations in their life more effectively. These journeys can be done for adults, children and even pets.
Another Divination Journey I do is when you sign up for a shamanic healing session. Before our session, I will be doing a divination journey where I consult with my Helping Spirits to get information on what needs to be healed. During this journey I will get information on soul loss, intrusions and any other guidance or advise the Helping Spirits would like to share to bring about healing. I will only be confirming an appointment with you once I have a go ahead from my Helping Spirits.
arrow_rightExtraction
A soulful person is easily recognized; as they are comfortable in their bodies, feel emotions as they arise, and their thoughts and actions are aligned with their higher purpose. When we suffer stress or trauma pieces of our Soul fall away from us. We may experience this if we have been in an accident, have major surgery, have faced abuse or traumatic relationships, or if we suddenly loose a close friend or family member. Shamans believe that soul loss is a common cause of spiritual illnesses that leads to physical and emotional disease. Sometimes we experience soul loss as a chronic illness or face ongoing emotions such as sadness or anger.
An extraction is done to remove any unhelpful energy that enters the emptiness that results from Soul Loss. This unhelpful or say negative energy can create an environment that can lead to disease; physical, emotional or mental. Extracting this negative energy restores the soul to its original Divinity bringing us to a healthy, happy and whole state of being.
arrow_rightSoul Retrieval
Shamanic practitioners do Soul Retrieval, working with their helping spirits, to get back the lost pieces of the soul. Soul Retrieval may bring about shifts in relationships, bring back lost vitality and we may find that our life is full of moments of acceptance, peace and Grace. Soul retrieval can be done when a person is ready for transformation. The results of Soul Retrieval may vary from person to person. Some may experience joy, vitality and happiness while others may feel quiet, still and sleepy.
arrow_rightPower Animal Retrieval
One of the methods used to connect us with our Helping Spirits is a Power Animal retrieval. This is a Shamanic method used to connect us with our helping spirits that show themselves in animal forms. They are very powerful and can provide us, our family, our community and even our organizations with power, protection and support. In traditional Shamanic communities it is considered beneficial to live a life in deep connection to our Power Animals.
arrow_rightPsychopomp
Psychopomp is another form of shamanic healing. Psychopomp shamans have the skill to accompany a dying man or woman with their spirit body to show them the way to the beyond. This work may involve being physically present when somebody is dying to help them by providing comfort, as they get ready to transition. A psychopomp can be considered a midwife for the dying. Another area Psychopom’s work is with those that have physically died. In may cases a person’s physical body may have died but their energy body still lingers on. Psychopomp work liberates trapped souls, those that are unable to move forward for a number of reasons. Fear, guilt, sudden death, unfinished business or lack of spiritual energy are some of the reasons souls find it hard to transition. In addition excessive grief of loved ones left behind, and their inability to let go can cause a spirit to stay earthbound. Keeping your loved ones near you in an earthbound state will not only cause them great grief and discomfort but could also mean ill health, fatigue and lack of energy for you, your family and even your pets. The healing of the dead basically means to help them move to the Great Beyond. This is where they belong, where they were to have gone by themselves anyway. This will result in peace, for them and for you.
"What's really important about shamanism is that there is another reality that you can personally discover ... we are not alone."

Past Life Regression
Past life regression therapy aims to resolve issues from our past that may have an energetic imprint and effect on our current life. For example, we may not understand why we are unable to assert ourselves. Maybe, we have trouble forming deep and meaningful relationships, or maybe, we’ve always felt like something is missing, although we don’t know what! Sometimes, we might have made vows in a particular lifetime such as: “I’ll never trust again”, “I’m never going to allow myself to be loved again”. These vows can be reviewed and amended, as can any soul contracts made.
There are any number of challenges that we might be facing in our daily lives that can be healed and addressed in a past life regression session.The insight we get from regression, the removal of energetic blockages and the rewriting of vows and contracts is transforming.
