What is Shamanic Healing

Healing arises from within the client.
The practitioner is an assistant, a bridge, a support.
The true healing comes from the client’s own readiness and intention.
We all have the self-healing power within.
It just needs to be activated.

Shamanic healing is one of the world’s oldest healing traditions, found across Indigenous cultures in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. Although each culture expresses it differently, shamans and shamanic practitioners share a common understanding: they access the spiritual world to restore power, retrieve information, and bring healing to their people.

One of the most universal methods used in shamanic healing is the shamanic journey.

Through steady drumming or rattling, the practitioner shifts their consciousness into a deep, altered state known as the Shamanic State of Consciousness. By entering non-ordinary reality, the practitioner connects with their helping spirits—often appearing in the form of animals, natural beings, human-forms or ancestral guides—to seek wisdom and healing on behalf of the client.

The Purpose of Shamanic Healing: Restoring Power

From a shamanic perspective, the root of many emotional, physical, and spiritual difficulties is the loss of personal power.

Power loss may manifest as:

• chronic fatigue or frequent illness
• depression or emotional numbness
• addiction patterns
• recurring misfortune
• feeling “not yourself,” fragmented, or disconnected

In shamanic terms, personal power can be lost through trauma, shock, or overwhelming life events.

When something too painful happens, a part of the soul may withdraw to protect the person from fully experiencing the impact.

When a soul part leaves, it may not naturally return. The person may feel empty, disconnected, or incomplete. And because nature does not like a vacuum, this inner emptiness can attract intrusive energies—unhelpful emotional or energetic patterns that do not belong to the person.

These intrusive energies may contribute to:

• emotional instability
• heaviness or despair
• repeating negative situations
• feeling unlucky or stuck
• difficulty finding clarity or direction

Over time, the cycle becomes:
power loss → intrusion → imbalance in body, mind, and spirit.

Shamanic healing works by clearing what does not belong and restoring what was lost—reconnecting the person with their natural vitality, clarity, and strength.

My Approach to Shamanic Healing

People sometimes ask whether shamanic healing is a kind of magic—whether a practitioner can simply remove all pain or misfortune from someone’s life.

My answer is always honest:
No shamanic practitioner can heal someone who is not ready or not willing.

Healing begins with the client’s own intention:

• Are you willing to face old wounds?
• Are you ready to release energies that no longer belong to you?
• Are you open to receiving back the parts of yourself that left long ago?
• Are you ready to create a new story for your life?

In clients who experience deep transformation, I always see a strong inner willingness—a sincere desire to heal, release, reclaim, and begin again. This path is not always comfortable. Sometimes it brings up emotions we have avoided for years. Sometimes it asks for patience and courage.

And even after a powerful healing, without awareness and ongoing inner work, old patterns may reappear. As I often say:

“Spiritual growth is a lifelong path. Once you begin, you step onto a road with no final destination.”

In my work, I see myself as:

• a facilitator, not a savior
• a bridge, not the source of power
• a companion, not the authority

I bring the guidance of my helping spirits, the knowledge I’ve trained in, and the compassion of my heart.

But the true hero of the healing is always the client’s own soul—supported by the wisdom and kindness of the helping spirits.

A Safe Space for Your Inner World

In shamanic healing sessions with me, you are welcome to bring:

• your fears
• your doubts
• your grief
• your anger
• your confusion
• your stories, even the ones that feel strange or “too much”

Nothing is judged.
Nothing is dismissed.
We honour your experience exactly as it is.

In the shamanic worldview, all experiences have meaning and all parts of you deserve respect. My role is to help you find clarity, grounding, and the inner peace that comes from reconnecting with your own soul.
