What is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanic healing sees all life as a sacred web of interacting energies. The oak tree, the river stone, the wind, every creature that walks, jumps, slithers, flits and flaps-and you: I t is all one shimmering consciousness. We may call this Spirit or many other names. Spirit is inside everything that exists, and in fact, underneath all of reality, everything is Spirit manifesting in uncountable ways. This is all beyond our full comprehension, but it is not beyond our ability to work with. When we are doing shamanic healing, we are working with this energy. Ultimately, shamanic healing is about cleaning the path for your awakening to this realization and reconnection.
A common type of shamanic healing is the clearing of energetic blocks or disturbances from your energy field. These blocks are always made of some form of fear, which dresses up in many different costumes. When we struggle with self-deprecation, or self-sabotage, anger, resentment, greed, victimization and depression and anxiety, the shamanic perspective is that these are disturbances in the personal energy field. Our western world can identify the source of these disturbances such as chemical imbalances, trauma, or belief systems. This can all be true, but shamanism looks beneath these sources to ask what the “soul” disturbance might be, and how to repair or reconnect energies. Shamanically, these blocks can come from many sources, including this life, past lives, ancestral influences, interactions with nature spirits, traumas small to large, and one’s connection to greater truth.
In our healing work, we may use any combination of drums, rattles, sacred songs, feathers, rocks, sacred tobacco smoke to clear these lower energies, call in new power, and seal it in with protection. This is all a way of restoring your energetic balance, which helps you make decisions and take actions from a more aligned and powerful place. The healing techniques we use are found cross-culturally, but our modalities come from our long training in the Amazon Jungle and with traditions of Central Mexico.
Why Seek Shamanic Healing?
Below are some of the reasons clients choose shamanic healing. They also believe there is more to life than what they are currently experiencing. They are willing to do the work and dedicate themselves to the ongoing process of healing and transformation.
- They want to deepen the connection with life, nature, and the Great Mystery of being alive as a human being.
- They have experienced trauma that has led to burdens and blockages that prevent them from being the best version of themselves.
- They want to feel more "in my own power" in life.
- They yearn for a full life that goes beyond the definitions of wealth and prosperity in the capitalist world.
- They desire to give and receive love more fully.
- They long to be filled with wonder and awe to the largest degree possible.
If you find yourself here—with a longing for a fuller, richer, more authentic life experience—shamanic healing may be the right choice.

Shamanic Healing Asks
This of You:
Be ready to change, to let go of assumptions, stories and addictions that have leaked your inner power for too long.
Be prepared to act in new ways, with new trust that healing has taken place on levels not perceived by the five senses and that old patterns have shifted.
To be honest, if a client thinks they can go to the shaman, get whickle-whacked by magic, and not have to do any work of their own, including changing their behavior, it’s a waste of time and money.
