What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice found in cultures worldwide, focusing on a deep connection with Nature and the Spirit world. Shamanic practitioners believe that all things possess a Spirit, with the practitioner acting as the intermediary between the physical and non-physical worlds. Through interaction with the spirit world, healing, guidance, and balance can be created for the individual, community, and environment. There are many ways that interaction with the Spirit world can take place (see section below). Shamanic healing seeks to restore wholeness and balance by addressing the root spiritual causes of illness and disharmony.

What is shamanic healing?

Shamanic Healing is an holistic approach to well-being that addresses the spiritual roots of physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. It involves the practitioner and client journeying into non-ordinary reality to identify and resolve spiritual issues such as soul loss, power loss, and energetic intrusions. Through various techniques such as illumination, soul retrieval, and entity extraction (see section below), shamanic healing aims to restore personal power, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. These techniques support an individual's innate ability to heal, and promotes a deeper understanding of their life's path and purpose. Shamanic Healing complements medical or psychological care — it is not a substitute for clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Who is shamanic healing for?

  • People struggling with pain, recurring negative patterns, addictions, and persistent physical / emotional / mental issues.

  • Individuals feeling disempowered, lacking energy, and finding it hard to assert themselves.

  • Those experiencing feelings of disconnection, loneliness, being lost, and emptiness.

  • Individuals who feel a deep calling to connect with Nature, ancestral wisdom, and their spiritual path.

  • People who feel that modern Western therapies have only taken them so far and are struggling to resolve their issues.

  • Those drawn to ancient healing modalities, communication with the Spirit world, and profound spiritual transformation.

  • People who want more from Life and sense that there is more available than just the physical world.

What happens during a shamanic healing?

We will first check-in, discuss what brings you to the session, and identify the best course of action. Dependent on the technique, you will be invited to either sit or lie down fully clothed, relax, and close your eyes, either in-person or on screen. We will then connect with the non-physical world to consult with spirit guides, ancestors, nature spirits etc. We will be guided by these spirits, our own intuitive sense, and what comes up throughout the process. Once the journey is complete, I will use tools such as smudging with sacred herbs to cleanse your energy field. There will be time to discuss how you are doing after the treatment, what insights were gained during the journey, and how to integrate the healing. There will be follow-up through email and further sessions if needed.

How does the non-physical world assist during a shamanic healing session?

In shamanic traditions, healing is often facilitated through the guidance and assistance of non-physical beings, such as nature spirits, ancestors, animal spirits, ascended masters etc. These non-physical allies provide wisdom, protection, and energetic support during the shamanic healing journey. They help to identify the root causes of imbalances, retrieve lost soul parts, and remove energetic blockages. It is believed that the ancient shamans received their wisdom from observing nature and communing with its many spirits.

 

Each healing session is a collaborative effort between you the client, me the shamanic practitioner, and these compassionate spirits, working together to restore harmony and wholeness. There is lots of help available from the non-physical world - we ask for help, be clear in our intent and instructions, and be open to receive.

What role do Helping Spirits play in Shamanic Healing?

In Shamanic traditions, healing is often facilitated through the guidance and assistance of Helping Spirits, Power Animals, and Ancestors. These non-physical allies provide wisdom, protection, and energetic support during the shamanic journey. They help to identify the root causes of imbalances, retrieve lost soul parts, and remove energetic intrusions. Each healing session is a collaborative effort between the Shaman, the client, and these compassionate spirits, working together to restore harmony and wholeness. During a session, there may be additional non-physical beings that turn up to help. These could be specific to you and your belief systems, blood and spirit ancestors, and/or beings that are available to help at that time. There is lots of help available from the non-physical world - all we need to do is ask for help and be clear in our instructions. This is essentially what the power of prayer is. We can talk about this more in a session if this is of interest.

Are there any other energies that you work with?

I also work closely with the energies of the Earth and the Cosmos, connecting to the wisdom of the elements and celestial bodies. In Shamanic traditions, the natural world is seen as a living, conscious entity, offering guidance and healing. It is believed that the ancient shamans received their wisdom from observing nature and communing with its spirits. According to many indigenous traditions, the Earth herself is a powerful healer and teacher.

Is Shamanic Healing the same as Reiki Energy Healing?

While both Shamanic Healing and Reiki are forms of energy healing, they differ significantly in their origins, practices, and underlying philosophies. Reiki primarily works with universal life force energy through gentle touch or distant healing, focusing on balancing the body's energy system. Shamanic Healing, on the other hand, is an older, more expansive practice that involves the practitioner entering altered states of consciousness to journey into non-ordinary reality. It actively engages with spirit guides, power animals, and ancestors to address spiritual root causes of illness, perform soul retrievals, clear intrusions, and restore personal power. While both modalities aim to promote healing and well-being, Shamanism offers a deeper engagement with spiritual dimensions and a more active role in retrieving lost spiritual essence.
