Our first step together will be to set up a Complimentary Phone or Zoom Consultation. 

This will enable you to share about the support that you are seeking, any concerns you may have, and any history about your health- emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. This time will also allow me to answer any questions or concerns you may be holding, and for both of us to feel good about our next steps together on this journey. After our consultation, part of my practice is to check in with my Helping Spirits to confirm whether or not I am the practitioner for you. If it happens that I am not, I will do my best to guide you in the direction that would be best for your healing.

At this time, sessions can be in person, on location, or via zoom (In person sessions may be available upon a case by case basis) The process for remote sessions is very similar to in-person sessions and the work is equally powerful, healing, and transformative.

What to expect during a shamanic healing session with me: 

 Shamanic work requires you to be open to the concept of shamanic healing, whether you understand all the aspects or not. I will attempt to answer any of your questions or concerns prior to booking the actual session.   Once in sacred space together we will have a conversation that will allow us to discuss the focus for our time together. I will then enter a shamanic state of consciousness, and bring this focus to my Helping Spirits to receive a diagnosis and guidance that will inform us what healing work may be needed. Once complete, I will share my findings and how the work may unfold. It is important that you keep an open mind when it comes to the focus of the session. You may have a very specific intention you are bringing forward, yet it may not be what the helping spirits are offering and willing to work with. There is a divine intelligence at hand, and I wholeheartedly trust in the guidance from the unseen. I ask that you lean into that trust as well. 

During any given session it is a possibility that the helping spirits may suggest guided journey work. You do not need any experience in this as I am trained well in the process of guiding those with little or no experience. To keep in the flow of the session, I will ask that you have headphones and a device/phone available for you to play a drumming track.  There is a free user friendly app you can download called Drum Journey (app presents with a symbol of a bear) or you can play a track by Sandra Ingerman on spotify (so long as you won't be interrupted by ads) I suggest that you familiarize yourself with a track that you like in order ensure you can get the most out of your session.

 I will ask for your permission before we begin any healing processes. There are many shamanic healing practices that could needed such as divination, soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, space tending/clearing, guided journeying, cord cutting, and/or psychopomp just to name a few. As we share sacred space together, it's important that you feel safe, held, and supported. If at any time you feel any unease, discomfort, or questions arise please let me know. Communication and consent are of the utmost importance. Once the healing for the session is complete I will share the healing story with you, along with any prescriptions for ritual, if prescribed. I will then offer space for you to reflect and to share/ask questions. This is your session and this time is for whatever will be most supportive for you. When things feel complete, I will mark the end of our time together by closing sacred space.

Each person experiences shamanic healing differently and every session is unique. You may feel things such as energy moving through your body. You may feel changes in temperature or see colors. It is also possible that you may feel certain emotions surfacing and/or releasing. You may have a spiritual experience. You may feel the need to move, or make a sound. Your stomach may make noises…it’s all energy moving. It is possible that you could experience all these things, only a few, or you may just experience one. And it's also possible that you might not experience anything, and that is completely normal. The healing process will be supported by your ability to remain in a comfortable and receptive state that allows for the experience and release of emotions. The space we share is a place that welcomes all of you.

What to expect after a shamanic healing session: Again, each person experiences shamanic healing differently and every session is unique—and this includes how you may feel concluding a session. You may feel expansive or you may feel contracted. Your energy could be low, or it could be high. You could experience physical symptoms such as a headache or stomach upset. You might feel really great straight away, or its also possible that you may feel worse for awhile before it gets better. It is also possible that you may not feel anything notable. The healing process is not linear. It is important to trust in the process not matter how it looks. 

Shamanic Healing Session: You can expect your session to be a minimum of  90-minutes, and one often can benefit from a more spacious planned time of 2 – 2 ½ hours. This extra time will generally need to  be planned for and scheduled in advance. However, there may be opportunity to extend a session if needed on a case by case basis. 

I would highly recommend that you allow yourself some time after a session to ease back into your day, to allow the healing to settle and to integrate. If at all possible, plan a light day, be gentle with yourself, and honor what your body and spirit are asking for.

Note: One session may be incredibly powerful and deeply healing for you, however, sometimes even simple issues can be very layered and complex, requiring more than one session.

A lot of clients like have their sessions recorded. This will be your responsibility unless otherwise requested.
