Shamanic Healing

I will ask questions about what is going on for you. After a while, I will invite you to lie on a couch, fully clothed, with a blanket over you. Then I rattle and sing to call in my guides and the work begins to unfold.

Together we search for the roots of what is troubling you, and then follow a process of releasing heavy or blocked energy and bringing in radiant light and blessing.

The shamanic practices I use most often are journeying, soul retrieval, past life therapy, cutting of ties, parent-child healing rituals and 'illuminations'. But much of the time the healing takes its own shape and form, as I follow my intuition with each person.

Some people see images or receive insights while we work. Others experience strong sensations. I will stay in close communication throughout. Usually people feel a sense of deep peace and release by the end of a session.

My tools are my voice, stones and fire, sage and feathers, rattle and drum. But mostly deep listening and prayer. I can work without any tools, which is why it is possible to meet online.

Yes! Many things work well via video link. You will need somewhere quiet and undisturbed to be, and a stable internet connection.

My shamanic approach is most informed by ancient Inca practices, which I learned from Eliana Harvey and others at Shamanka School for Women's Shamanism in Dorset. Spiritually, I walk a 'braided path' integrating wisdom from Celtic, Christian, Sufi, Goddess tradition and Native American sources. I may also ask you about your own guides and allies, and invite them to be part of your healing 'team'.

Occasionally people just need one session to clear a specific issue. Others find that a series of sessions offers strong support to make a deep change.

The depth that we go to depends a great deal on what you are ready to release and receive. Sometimes this means going back to acknowledge wounding received in the past, at the ancestral level or in past lives.
