shamanic healing
At its core, shamanic healing is concerned with the strengthening and empowerment of individuals, their families, and communities, regardless of race, colour, or creed. It focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and mental aspects of an individual, and is a powerful way to shift energy, unlock potential, and transform your life, as it carries immense transformative power. Shamanic healing is generally sought by those who need guidance and healing on a non-physical level. What that means is the shamanic practitioner establishes a connection with your collective spirit guides to identify and address any blockages or imbalances in you. The healing comes from a place of unconditional love and for the highest good of all involved.
Shamans look at the spiritual aspects of an illness, one that manifests on the physical, emotional, or mental plane but stems from a disharmony or spiritual imbalance. Shamans believe there are three causes of illness - power loss, soul loss, or a spiritual intrusion. Generally, there are at least two of these present at any one time. A shaman will work with spirit allies to diagnose the cause and then help to perform the required healing.
There are many misconceptions about shamanic healing, with many believing that it can only be undertaken using plant medicine. As a shamanic practitioner, the work I do is completely drug-free.
During a Shamanic Healing, I act as a 'bridge' between the seen and unseen worlds, working with the plant, animal and spirit allies to diagnose and create a healing medicine for you, gently re-weaving you back into health and balance. I aim to help you connect with your true Self, grounding you into your purpose and revealing your true calling.
Sessions are generally 90 minutes to 2 hours in length depending on what unfolds, and the work required. It can be very intensive. We begin with a discussion and overview of your issues and how to heal them. This will be followed by somatic work which may include chakra balancing, drumming, reiki, breath work, or any of the following
Power Animal Retrieval: introducing you to, or retrieving, your personal animal helping spirit -- your first step to restoring your personal power and helping you discover your soul purpose
Power Loss: "personal power-loss" - where we give away our power to another person or allow society to dictate our lives; "Power-loss" - where we become disconnected from nature and from everything around us; affected by the loss of our Power Animal or guardian spirit ally. Symptoms include apathy, feeling flat, phobias, anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies, chronic illness and chronic misfortune amongst others.
Soul Loss and Retrieval: a part of the soul may leave the body for self-preservation reasons - as a result of abuse, arguments in the family home, an accident, or grief - resulting in a loss of life force energy which may result in depression, addiction, or feeling separate from life.
Intrusions: a remnant of our own experience, not something from someone else. It may be a negative thought form from a past life or this life. It can manifest in the physical, emotional, spiritual or mental aspects of the body as a recurring pattern in life. It may cause illness, or as an emotional imbalance. This can also be as a result of emotional upheaval, a previous operation or injury. This is generally followed by a Soul Retrieval and/or Power Animal Retrieval
Energetic Cords: when relationships aren't serving the highest good of those involved, it is probable that an unhealthy energetic cord exists between the two parties. These could be unhealthy relationships between a parent/child, friend/lover, employer/employee, therapist/client. By removing these deleterious cords, there is a release of pent-up emotions, and a healthy relationship has room to grow.
Energetic Blocks: where the life force in the body becomes sluggish or stuck, generally through the meridians and chakras, as a result of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances in the body. Causes may include emotional shock or trauma, negative attitudes, chemical or drug consumption, invasive medical procedures. Symptoms are disharmony, and disease in the body
Past Events: by returning to a past event that has left a lasting impression, it is possible to disconnect the negative energy associated with that event, allowing a more empowering response to similar events should they happen now and into the future.

reiki healing
Traditional reiki healing is a general healing practice, promoting relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety, as well as improving mood and sleep. This energy is transferred through my palms, encouraging emotional, spiritual, mental, physical or energetic healing. Reiki is non-denominational, completely safe, and perfect for anyone feeling out of balance, fatigued or ungrounded, it promotes a positive mental state, reduces pain, and supports recovery from injuries and surgery.

home and land blessing
A Land Blessing Ceremony fosters a harmonious relationship with the land, be it farmland, pasture, parkland, forest, woods, or your own backyard. This sacred ritual connects the steward of the land, often considered the 'owner,' with the spirit of regeneration and protection, nurturing a reciprocal bond. The ceremony purifies the land, removing negative and unwanted energies or influences. By doing so, it helps the land prosper, regenerate, and flourish, promoting a thriving, vibrant environment for all who inhabit it.
A Space Cleansing purifies and removes any unwanted negative influences or energies from your living, office or commercial space, leaving it more energised, clean, and comfortable. These negative energies can stem from our own experiences, remnants left by previous owners or occupants, or even from visitors. Over time, these energies accumulate, creating an uncomfortable and volatile environment.
A Space Cleansing ceremony restores harmony and positivity, transforming your space into a peaceful and inviting sanctuary. For Space Cleansings, I will use a combination of sound (drums, rattles, bells), smoke (sage, palo santo, juniper or lavender), plants, salt, crystals and candles. I do require at least one resident of the property to be present during the cleansing.
