“Shamanism is not a religion. It’s a method. And when this method is practiced with humility, reverence and self-discipline, the shaman’s path can become a way of life.” - Hank Wesselman

Shamans have healed people and nurtured the spiritual life of their communities for centuries, in every known culture. The principles of core shamanism, what I practice, are simple. 

First, empower the soul.

Because life is challenging, nearly everyone experiences some level of power depletion just by living. It’s even more true for us in modern times because we are exposed to so much media, technology and “low vibe” interference. Every session I do includes some form of empowerment to help you receive the healing.

Second, put things back where they belong.

Under stress, we become susceptible to harmful elements in the environment, or even intentional “arrows” of harsh words, oppression and negative thoughts. These are called intrusions, a sort of spiritual “infection” that drains us and may cause us to feel sick. 

Some life events cause a higher level of disempowerment in the form of soul loss – when the soul protects itself from trauma by splintering off and retreating to safety. Soul loss can be experienced as depression, addiction or even personality disruption. Therapy may help us identify the source of these traumatic experiences, but it may not address the soul depletion that results. As such, healing of the mind and body may never feel “complete.”

Shamanic healing involves working in the spirit realm with compassionate helping spirits who can put these spiritual elements and entities back where they belong. 

If a soul has received an unwanted intrusion, the spirits will work through me to remove the unwanted element, send it home (or to a place where it cannot cause harm), and help the client release the attachment. If a soul has fragmented due to trauma or negative life experience, the spirits will guide me to retrieve that soul part and bring it back to you, restoring you to your full power and vitality. 

The results of shamanic healing are often felt immediately, with complete healing over time (days or weeks). Sometimes more than one session is helpful or recommended by the spirits. This can depend on a client’s level of empowerment or depletion, their desire and ability to complete the work, as well as the degree of intrusion or loss. 

You always remain in control. Everything is done with your explicit permission, and nothing is done without it.

My spirit team does the healing work. They are powerful beyond measure and know exactly what you need. My role is to prepare myself as fully as possible to hold their power here for you, to manage the “ordinary reality” aspects of the healing (such as maintaining trance and my connection to the spirits, managing your comfort and carrying out the physical aspects). 

Your job is simply to state your desire for healing, and then to receive it.
