Shamanic Journey Work
Accessing Inner Wisdom & Spiritual Guidance
Shamanic Journey Work is one of the oldest healing practices known to humanity. Across cultures and throughout history, indigenous healers, medicine people, and spiritual practitioners have utilized journeying to access wisdom, healing, guidance, and a deeper relationship with the unseen realms.
My training began more than thirty years ago through the teachings of anthropologist Michael Harner and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I later continued my studies through Celtic and Native American traditions, deepening my understanding of journey work, ceremonial practice, and spiritual healing.
At its heart, shamanic journeying is a practice of direct experience.
Using rhythmic drumming, intention, and guided awareness, participants learn to enter a meditative state that allows access to deeper levels of insight, intuition, and inner knowing. Within this expanded awareness, many people experience connection with spirit helpers, ancestors, animal allies, guides, and sources of wisdom that support their healing and growth.
The purpose of journeying is not to seek answers outside of yourself, but to deepen relationship with the wisdom that already lives within you.

Soul Retrieval Calling Home What Has Been Lost
Many indigenous traditions teach that during times of trauma, grief, shock, loss, addiction, illness, or overwhelming life experiences, aspects of ourselves may become separated from our conscious awareness. Soul Retrieval is a ceremonial healing practice intended to help restore connection with those forgotten, hidden, or disconnected parts of the self.
Through prayer, drumming, intention, and sacred journeying, I work on behalf of the client to seek and retrieve those aspects that are ready to return. The purpose is not to change who you are. The purpose is to help you become more fully yourself. Clients often describe experiencing greater wholeness, vitality, groundedness, emotional resilience, clarity, and a renewed sense of connection to life following this work.
Having practiced Soul Retrieval for nearly three decades, I continue to be humbled by the profound healing, insight, and restoration it can support. Each session is approached with reverence, confidentiality, clear boundaries, and deep respect for the individual healing journey.
Ceremony & Preparation forTransformational Experiences
Periods of profound healing and transformation often require preparation, grounding, and integration. Through coaching, ceremony, breathwork, spiritual guidance, and nervous system support, I help individuals prepare for and integrate significant healing experiences, life transitions, and expanded states of awareness. The focus is not on the experience itself, but on helping the insights gained become embodied, practical, and supportive of lasting transformation.
