Shamanic Healing

Shamans have been present in all cultures for the past 50,000 years. They are individuals born to be Medicine women/men (powerful healers) who have contact with and are influenced by, the spirit world. They work with ancient practices, beliefs, traditions and ceremonies to help individuals resolve emotional, physical or spiritual disharmony.

As a shaman I work with practices and ceremonies that are ancient and sacred however I combine them with the needs of individuals living in the 21st century who are often looking to find a meaning or resolution to what is happening in their lives.

It is an opportunity to enable clients to feel fully integrated and whole, maybe  for the first time in their life.

The healing I undertake is intuitive,spiritual and very powerful. You may find that following a session you experience a form of detoxification which can last several days. You might find you need to visit the bathroom more frequently, you may have slight nausea ,experience a range of emotions that you haven't felt for a while or you may have more vivid dreams. These are perfectly normal things when deep healing is taking place. For some none of these will occur. That doesn't mean healing isn't taking place it just means that you are working through things differently. Rest assured there will be healing taking place on a very deep level. It can be several weeks or even months before you realise that both subtle and conscious changes are happening to you emotionally, physically or spiritually. 

During our work together I will use a range of different methods to address the issues you present. Much of the work I do is based on healing the 'inner child' The child that you were that was hurt, damaged, abused or lost and that in some way still sits in you calling out to be heard and held.If abuse has occured there are often symptoms of post traumatic stress still resonating for the client. Together we work to find a healthy resolution to the issues you bring.

It may be that we look at ways you can perform your own ritual to something or someone you have lost( maybe even to part of you that was lost) Rituals sound somewhat scary to many people but in society we have many 'formalised' rituals. weddings,civil ceremonies, funerals, hen & stag parties, birthday celebrations, the list is endless.

Sometimes though we need to develop our own unique ritual for something important and special to us. For example it may be to celebrate the birth of a child, the rite of passage into the menopause or the loss of a child through death,miscarriage or termination or maybe the loss of a parent or sibling.

Many people expect they should be able to 'move on' after the death of a parent. After all that's the natural progression of things especially when they are elderly. However this does not stop an individual missing or grieving for them.

I work with clients to look at ways they can honour and connect with their parent who is no longer physically with them.

Whatever the issue we can create and design a bespoke ritual for the situation.

I also work with the role our ancestors played in who we are today and I will often work with the ancestral energy of your family.This is a very powerful piece of work which can often help connects 'hidden' family issues to allow a healing to take place on a range of different levels for the client and their family .

Ancestral work is a key part of Shamanic healing and one which often gets overlooked as 'not important' Without our ancestors we would not be here today and it is the family patterns that run though from one generation to another that impact so greatly on us in our own lives today.
