Shamanic Healing

Picture
What is shamanic work? We are both body and spirit. But we often deal with these aspects of our being separately. In my practice, the body and the spirit are experienced as intimate companions on the journey. We work as a team, you and I, to help your body and spirit join up to do the wondrous work of transformation.

Please note: The effectiveness of shamanic work is not limited by a person's religious beliefs. It works for everyone. I believe that God speaks in many languages, and am comfortable using your language in our work together. I have used my language, below, to describe the work I do.

What is a session like?  Shamanic sessions are available long-distance, or face-to-face. I use the elements (earth, air, fire, and water), the winds of the north, south, east, and west, the sound of my rattle, voice, or drum, and my intuitive sight. I join with the power of Spirit, my helping spirits, your helping spirits, and your own imagination to help you:
  • Release dense energy from your chakras, and from your field, so that personal, spiritual and earth energy can flow freely and unobstructed.
  • Heal ancestral or other patterns that are active in your life, and which may be causing disruption in your relationships, work, health, and mood.
  • Retrieve aspects of yourself that have been "lost" as a result of trauma in this life. (This is often referred to as "Soul Retrieval.") 
  • Develop your own shamanic talents: awareness of your helping spirits, ability to journey into nonordinary reality, to experience your sovereignty, and to enjoy a closer relationship with Earth and Spirit.
Qualifications in brief: I have received training in Celtic Shamanism, Andean Shamanism, and core shamanism. My human teachers have included Tom Cowan, Yarrow Grace, Betsy Bergstrom, Kate Durda, Stephanie Tighe, and Sandra Ingerman. My practice is fluid and responsive to the leading of my most important teacher, Spirit.
