Shamanism is the spiritual practices of ancient civilizations and cultures for over ten thousand years and the oldest healing tradition in the world. The Shaman in history served as the communicator between the physical and the spiritual worlds through various rituals and visualizations. This tradition is observed by modern mankind as a way of returning to its roots.

When I work with an animal or a person, I enter an altered state of consciousness with the help of a rattle or a drum and call in my Spirit Teachers and Guides as well as the animal’s or human’s Guides and we meet in a Sacred Circle in what is called by the Shamanic Practitioner, Non Ordinary Reality. This is where communication and healing can begin. I am often amazed by the guides that show up to help in the healing process and the wisdom they have to offer.

Shamanism heals on all levels: mind, body and Spirit, and creates healing across time into past lives as well. This is true for both animals and people. Often when we experience a repeated harmful pattern in life, it can manifest physically, mentally or emotionally and through our personal and professional relationships. This is when an Ancestral Healing is called upon to end these destructive, self-sabotaging energetic patterns and vibrations.

A Soul Retrieval is also a powerful healing journey. Sometimes when we suffer traumatic physical or emotional pain a part of us splits off; we lose a piece of our soul that gets "stuck" in that particular time and space. In this case, I travel to Non Ordinary Reality to bring healing to that soul part, call back your power, and integrate the soul part beautifully and wholly into the present. A soul retrieval harnesses the vital creative energy that allows wisdom, clarity and purpose back into your life.

The longer I practice Shamanism, the more I feel truly blessed to be on this path and amazed by how intricately every living being on this planet is connected. It is exciting to know that we can use our thoughts, intentions and energy to create the reality we desire, the reality that is in our highest good and the highest good of all.
