My Approach
a space to return to yourself
My approach is built on a simple, powerful belief: everyone has the ability to heal themselves. When we experience trauma, loss or prolonged stress, parts of our vital essence can fragment or simply give up. We feel it as exhaustion, disconnection, anxiety or a vague sense that something is missing. Shamanic healing calls those parts back home, through many different ways, but the main elements can include:
Soul Retrieval
When a person loses part of their vitality through trauma, this is called soul loss. You know that feeling that something is missing? Soul retrieval calls those parts back home, helping you reconnect with your own vital essence.
Cutting of the ties
Sometimes you may feel drained, imposed upon or dominated. There can be a dark cord attaching you to someone or something. Cutting these ties is part of your healing path, making space to come home to yourself.
Psychopomp Work
I love this calling when it comes: helping earth-bound spirits move on to their proper resting place. This may call to you when you do not feel truly safe and healthy in your own home.
Soul Extraction
Ever said or done something that does not feel like you? Sometimes an intrusive spiritual element can piggyback on your emotions, too scared to move on and clinging to you for dear life. But it is your dear life.
Journeying
Sometimes something is not right, but it is neither soul loss nor misplaced spiritual elements. Your guides or power animal may simply have a message for you, or be wanting to connect. Journeying opens a space for that connection.
Awakening your Healing Song
Through drumming and chanting, I call to the sacred healing that lives within you. As your healing song stirs, your body, mind and spirit begin to return to their natural state of balance, bringing you home to yourself.
Our Sessions
What a session with me looks like
Sessions last between 45-90 minutes and can be done in-person or remotely.
Arriving: Cacao is the first stage, made with your healing in mind. We start with sipping the heart-opening healing drink whilst discussing and exploring, possibly with the use of Roam, my drum, partner and guide in all things shamanic. You share what is bringing you here. This allows me to start developing a sense, both in ordinary reality and non-ordinary realities, of what is going on or not going on within you.
Setting the Space: we then practise kundalini exercises to place you deeper into your parasympathetic nervous system, which is your rest and repair centre and I create a sacred space for your healing. The Drum Opens the Doorway: the beat of the drum mirrors the first sound you heard—that of your mother’s heartbeat, and shifts you into a receptive, meditative state whilst I journey into the non-ordinary realities. Chanting Awakens your Song: I call to the sacred healing that lives within you—you may experience this as a familiar stirring in your soul, warmth, vibration, emotion or a deep sense of peace. Helping with your Healing: some healing involves me taking you on a journey where you are an active participant.Integration: you rest with deep breathing as the new energies integrate within yourself, finding safe places to inhabit. I make tea and cookies to help you return back to ordinary reality.
I come to this shamanic healing space as a wounded healer myself and have gone through all of the shamanic healing stages: I was knocked down as a child (actually tried to knock down a car when I was on my bicycle), had meningitis and there’s a veritable plethora of things life has chucked onto my path, involving soul retrieval, soul extraction, cutting of the ties, deepening connections with my power animals and spirit guides, finding my voice, song and drum.
It has been an incredible journey so far and I warmly invite you to walk beside me for your part in your healing path.
