General Questions
What is shamanism?
Shamanism is the world’s oldest spiritual practice, dating back over 40,000 years. It’s a way of perceiving and working with the sacred dimensions of reality beyond ordinary awareness. Shamans serve as bridges between the physical and spirit worlds, accessing altered states of consciousness to bring transformation, wisdom, and balance.
Is shamanism a religion?
No. Shamanism is a spiritual practice and a way of relating to the world, not a religion. It can complement any religious or spiritual path, or stand alone. It’s based on direct spiritual experience rather than dogma or belief systems.
Do I need to believe in shamanism for it to work?
No. Shamanic healing works regardless of your beliefs. What matters is your openness to receiving healing and your willingness to engage with the process. Many people come to this work with skepticism and still experience profound shifts.
What is a shamanic journey?
A practice where the practitioner enters an altered state of consciousness — typically through drumming, rattling, or meditation — to access the spirit world. In this state, the shaman can receive guidance, retrieve lost soul parts, connect with power animals, or perform healing work on behalf of a client.
What are power animals?
Power animals are spiritual guides that appear in animal form. They lend us their unique medicine, strength, protection, and wisdom. Everyone has at least one power animal who walks with them through life, and we can journey to meet and deepen that relationship.
About Shamanic Sessions
What happens during a shamanic session?
We’ll first discuss your intentions and what you’re seeking help for. You’ll then lie down comfortably while I journey on your behalf, working with helping spirits to address your specific needs. This might include soul retrieval, extraction, power animal retrieval, or other transformational work. Afterward, we discuss what occurred and integrate the experience.
What should I expect to feel?
Experiences vary widely. Some people feel deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, or waves of energy. Others may have visions or emotional releases. Some simply rest peacefully. There’s no “right” way to experience a session — whatever happens is exactly what you need in that moment.
How long does a session last?
One-on-one shamanic sessions typically last about 60–90 minutes. We also spend a little time before and after for discussion and integration.
How should I prepare?
Come with an open heart and a clear intention for what you’d like to address. Wear comfortable clothing. Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, or recreational substances beforehand. It can help to spend some quiet time in nature before your session.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by individual and situation. Some people experience significant shifts in a single session. Others benefit from a series to address deeper patterns or multiple layers of healing. We’ll discuss what feels right for your journey.
Can sessions be done remotely?
Yes. Shamanic sessions are not limited by physical distance, as the work occurs in the spirit realm. Remote sessions can be just as effective as in-person ones. We connect by phone or video for the discussion, and you rest comfortably at home during the journey work.
shamanic sessions & Conditions
What can shamanic sessions help with?
Shamanic sessions can support a wide range of conditions, including:
Is this a replacement for medical treatment?
No. Shamanic transformational sessions are complementary to, not a replacement for, conventional medical care. Always continue working with your healthcare providers. Shamanic sessions addresses the spiritual and energetic aspects of illness and can support and enhance medical treatment.
What is soul retrieval?
A core shamanic practice. When we experience trauma, parts of our soul essence can separate as a survival mechanism. This can leave us feeling incomplete, numb, or like something is missing. In soul retrieval, the practitioner journeys to the spirit world to find and return these lost soul parts, restoring wholeness and vitality.
Are there any side effects?
Shamanic sessions are generally very gentle, though some people experience what we call integration. This might include vivid dreams, emotional releases, increased energy, or temporary fatigue as your system adjusts. These are normal and usually pass within a few days. Staying hydrated, resting, and spending time in nature supports integration.
Sound Therapy
What is shamanic sound therapy?
Sound therapy uses the vibrational frequencies of instruments like drums, rattles, crystal singing bowls, and gongs as well as voice to shift energy, release blockages, and restore harmony. Different sounds create different effects — drums connect us to earth rhythms, crystal bowls align our energy centers, and gongs create deep states of meditation and release.
What’s the difference between crystal bowl and drum sessions?
Crystal bowls produce pure, sustained tones that work directly on the body’s energy centers, creating deep relaxation and cellular transformation. Shamanic drumming offers a steady, rhythmic heartbeat that facilitates journeying to non-ordinary reality and connects us to earth energy. Both are powerful — the choice depends on what resonates with you.
Can I attend if I’ve never done sound therapy before?
Absolutely. Group sound therapy sessions welcome people of all experience levels. No preparation or prior knowledge is needed — just come with an open heart and willingness to receive. We’ll guide you through what to expect.
