Awaken your inner guidance.

Most sessions are about 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are consultative to assess your goals or issues, then you lay fully clothed on a massage table while we work with your energy field. The last 30 minutes involve assessing homework that will further your healing process.

This completely depends on the issue, how deep it is, and how willing you are to let it go and heal. People often say one session can clear what 15 years of traditional therapy never touched. Usually within 3 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, we can clear the many layers of an issue at the emotional and spiritual levels that are causing us problems. Deeply set physical illnesses may require more work, and while an emotional and spiritual healing will take place, the physical symptoms will not always disappear, although there are many instances where they do. This is the difference between healing and curing. Look for the article on Healing verses Curing in the Keeping up with ASC section for more on the distinction.

It is best to space your sessions 1-2 weeks apart to give yourself time for major shifts to take place. Occasionally another issue, related to the first, will appear right behind it. In these cases it is appropriate to do another session within days.

No, it is clearing your chakras, lifting and removing imprints (negative experiences from your past) and impurities from your energy field.

We ask that you believe that you can heal. Many people hold onto their discomfort because it is familiar to them. If you are truly ready for change, it will happen.

Reiki is beautiful energy work that clears and rebalances your chakras. Reiki does not, however, remove the imprints that put your chakras out of balance in the first place. With shamanic healing we clear the chakras, imprints and create new healing maps. Reiki is an excellent place to begin your healing journey. When we have deep rooted problems that do not resolve though simple balancing we need to go deeper. Shamanic work gets to the deeper roots of what is taking you out of balance and helps you restructure your life to it takes a more constructive tact.

Psychologists work at the level of your mind, behavior and emotions. They help you identify and come to peace with your issues but you usually still carry triggers to those issues. The shaman works at the level of the soul. When your soul is cleared of the wounds causing your emotional and physical problems, you can release those triggers.

Absolutely. Many injuries are a result of a damaged Light Energy Field (LEF).

Because ceremony temporarily allows us to step out of our everyday time, thinking and habits where profound healing results can be fostered. When you stay in “realtime” you remain in your everyday thinking and cannot detach from your old ways of being and how you typically see things.

When we have particularly challenging moments in our lives, often the result of violence or chronic abuse, a part of us leaves and does not continue on to be wounded. It stays innocent at the age you were at the time of the incident and remains buried in shadow. The part of us that continues on feels broken or like a part of it is missing until that part is returned. Returning it brings back the traits you had at that age, but lost, when this part went into hiding. A trained shaman can find this piece of you and return it. Often before it can come home, however, you will need to make a safe home for it in your life; usually a soul retrieval follows a couple of sessions to clear the imprints from the events that made it leave.
