What is shamanic healing?
It’s a session that works directly with your energy and spirit, not just your thoughts and your story.
Shamanic healing is one of the oldest forms of healing there is. Our ancestors from all over the world used similar techniques to achieve alignment and balanced health in community, mind, body and spirit. No two sessions look the same – what happens is guided by what you’re actually carrying when you arrive. Here’s a broad sense of the different threads a session might draw on:
Soul Retrieval
When something overwhelms us – deep trauma, shock, sudden loss, prolonged stress – a part of our life-force can split off and withdraw, as a kind of protection. It can happen all at once or build slowly over years. Soul retrieval is the practice of journeying to find that part of you and bringing it home, so you’re not quietly running on less than the whole of yourself. You typically rest while I do this work on your behalf, and afterwards we talk through what’s returned and what it means for you – this kind of work often asks for real rest and integration time afterward.
Extraction
Sometimes what’s affecting you isn’t yours to carry – stuck emotion, the residue of an old injury, energy that’s simply settled somewhere it shouldn’t be. Nothing about this energy is “bad” in itself; it’s just in the wrong place. Extraction is the practice of locating that energy and removing it, then filling the space it leaves with something that actually supports you, so it doesn’t just get replaced by more of the same.
Energy Healing
Underneath all of the above sits one broader idea: your energy can become blocked, depleted or out of balance, and realigning it supports healing on every other level too — physical, emotional, mental. In session this might look like hands-on or hands-near work, breath, sound, or simply holding space while your system recalibrates.
Cord Cutting
Strong relationships and experiences leave an energetic thread behind, and that thread can persist long after the relationship or situation itself has ended — often the real reason you still feel drained, triggered, or stuck around someone or something you’ve consciously tried to move past. Cord cutting gently releases that tie. You keep whatever you learned; nothing is erased, and nothing is taken from the other person.
Who this is for
- You feel depleted, heavy, or “off” in a way that talking alone hasn’t shifted.
- You’ve been through something – a shock, a loss, a trauma – and sense that part of you hasn’t fully come back yet.
- You’re drawn to energetic or spiritual healing specifically, rather than a talk-therapy format.
- You want a single, focused session for something specific, not an ongoing weekly process.
How it works
Each session is tailored to whatever you’re bringing – we talk first, then move into the healing work itself. Sessions run online or in person. Book a single session with no commitment, or ask about discounted packages if you’re ready to commit to more than one.
If what you actually want is an ongoing, structured process rather than a single session, Psycho-Spiritual Therapy (Inner Alchemy) is the weekly container version of this same work.
