Shamanic Healing

Shamanism is an ancient animist Earth Medicine that regards all life as having a soul, intelligence and healing power.

The Shaman uses the drum, rattle and sound to achieve an altered state of consciousness, or heightened awareness, through which she or he receives guidance from the human, animal and plant realms to assist healing.

Through this state, the practitioner’s sight, sentience and hearing is more acute and thus able to:

Track debilitating core beliefs that lead to patterns of behaviour and offer alternative attitudes and approaches to life
Work with and extract the spirit of an illness or sense of dis-ease, (physical and energetic)
Break debilitating ancestral patterns (learned and carried in our DNA)
Retrieve parts lost in shock or trauma to restore calm, clarity and vitality.

How does it work?

Based on the concept of Soul, shamanic healing focuses on retrieving soul pieces lost to shock or trauma.

We all experience soul loss.

As human beings we all experience difficult and traumatic moments in our lives, be they through: bereavement, divorce, relationship difficulties, bullying, abuse, fertility problems and abortion to name but a few.

In times of difficulty parts of us flee to safe places in non-ordinary reality, rather than experience the situation.

We may then feel a little off kilter, or not as strong as we did before a particular event and/or have adapted to survive.

By journeying in the invisible realm, the practitioner retrieves parts lost. With their return, these parts bring with them lost power and innate qualities lost (e.g. joy, trust, strength and/or outspokenness) that help us feel more whole once again.

What can I expect in a session?

How I work:

At the start of the session we will talk about what you would like to focus on. I will then journey to my allies to receive instruction of the work that will best suit your needs and any information that will provide the key to unlocking blockages or dis-ease.

(By the way, it is absolutely fine if you have come for general wellbeing, or if it’s curiosity that brought you here.)

You will then be invited to lie down, fully clothed, and simply relax.

You will then receive:

A cleansing of your energetic, emotional and physical fields
Focused work on your chosen issue (or on whatever presents itself if you wish to receive a healing for general wellbeing or out of curiosity)
Retrieval (soul parts, personal power and/or power animal)
Rebalancing of chakras

At the end of the healing I will tell you what advice or suggestions I have received for you by my allies, and/or yours.

A healing leaves you feeling calm, clear and empowered.

My practices are a weaving of Core Shamanism and the Path Of Pollen Tradition.

There is no ‘initial appointment’ as such.

In most cases one session is enough and the client is welcome back whenever they feel the need for another healing. In other situations however, there may be a need for the work to be done over a couple or more sessions (the frequency is always Spirit-led, as are all sessions).

What conditions can it help with?

Shamanic Healing is useful for anyone wishing to have a wellbeing ‘M.O.T’ / re-tuning to restore vitality and strength.

It can also help with:

General wellbeing
Low self-esteem
Anxiety, stuck anger and sadness
Separation and relationship difficulties
Fertility difficulties
Miscarriage and abortion
Abuse: physical, emotional and mental
A string of bad luck
Life choices and changes in life direction

How can it help with Bereavement?

Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult and life-altering times in our lives. Whatever our relationship with them, it is often accompanied by Soul Loss – when parts of ourselves leave our body to not have to experience the pain. In our grief, we may feel bereft, stuck, overwhelmed, angry, liberated and a wide array of other emotions with which we may feel alone. Each time it’s different because the relationship and dynamic is different.

Shamanic healing can support your bereavement process through:

Soul Retrieval to return you to your body and feel more grounded and whole
Ensuring your loved one has fully crossed over or help them do so if needed
Relationship Repair: where required and to return parts of each other you both hold
Mediumship: your Shaman can hear and see those in spirit and can help you both to communicate through them and say whatever needs to be said.

These practices bring you closer to those you love, while simultaneously easing some of the pain and help you to feel stronger.

Can it help heal Family Dynamics?

Conflict is an opportunity for learning, personal growth, and connection. There is richness in addressing it.

Blending Shamanic Healing with Conflict Resolution tools, your Shaman can support you to heal and improve stuck or ‘difficult’ dynamics by:

Clearing energetic threads between you that keep dynamics stuck
Clearing the Karmic relationship
Swapping soul parts and power taken, whether in love and/or in anger
Offer tools to help you de-escalate, reframe and address issues constructively.

This work can helped improve strained dynamics and other relationships. It can also ease interactions in the family system as a whole.

How can it help with Ancestral Lineage Healing?

We inherit more than our physical traits from those who came before us — we also carry their stories, struggles, and strengths.

Ancestral Lineage Healing is the practice of turning with care towards our roots, and tending the places where trauma, silence, or loss may still linger.

Through this work, we honour both the blessings and the burdens of our bloodlines, release patterns that no longer serve us, and reconnect with the deeper support of well and loving ancestors. This allows us to step forward with a greater sense of freedom, belonging, and resilience.

How can Shamanic Healing help with our identity?

Whether in relation to gender identity or to national, ethnic, and cultural identity, we are all more than the sum of our parts.

Experiences of rejection and collective beliefs, can mean that we embody these and in turn cause parts of ourselves to feel rejected, shamed and not allowed to belong as we are.

Blending parts-informed inner dialogue with ancestral healing and soul retrieval, the Shaman will support you to move towards wholehearted authenticity and self-approval.

Can Shamanic healing help with depossession?

Not every soul finds its way across at the time of death. Sometimes a spirit may linger in familiar places, or unknowingly attach to a living person. This can leave you feeling drained, unsettled, or behaving in ways that don’t feel like your own.

These beings are not ‘evil’ but lost and in need of help. With compassion and clear boundaries, they can be guided to where they truly belong. In turn, you are freed to reclaim your own energy, vitality, and sense of self.

This work brings healing both for the living and for the dead — restoring wholeness, balance, and peace on both sides.

How do Joint Sessions of Shamanic Healing for couples work?

If you are seeking a deeper understanding of your relationship, with a more conscious way of relating going forwards, Shamanic Healing can help.

These joint sessions offer a specialised space for couples, parent–child, siblings, and business partners to transform their relationship.

This work supports the energetic dynamics between you and the practical realities of relating. The sessions will offer you insight, tools, and mediation where helpful, to support you moving forwards. These are also designed to help you to move away from blame and long-standing power imbalances.

Moving between individual and shared timelines, you will be supported to:
