What is shamanic healing?

Shamanism is an ancient form of spirituality practiced by the original people on every continent. It’s based on a connection to the natural world and a belief that everything has spirit.

Shamanic cultures acknowledge the interconnectedness of the universe and honor the web of life that runs through all beings.

The shamanism practiced by contemporary healers is a distillation of beliefs called “core shamanism” popularized by Michael Harner, an American anthropologist and founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

The shamanic practitioner travels into the spirit realms and negotiates with power animals, spirit teachers, nature spirits, the ancestors, and other divine compassionate beings for the client’s healing.

Debra partners with Spirit, working in light and love to conduct healing for her clients and to help them remember and return to a greater balance and harmony.

Shamanic healing sessions can be in-person or long distance.

Shamanic healing is effective for:
  • Restoring joy, vitality and power after the “emptiness” of a loss or trauma
  • Releasing painful childhood experiences
  • Clearing heavy energy from the body after physical or emotional traumas
  • Releasing outdated thoughts and behavior patterns that cause pain
  • Shifting heavy ancestral energy in the family line
  • Connecting to inner wisdom and spirit guides

Because shamanic healing happens on a spiritual level, it releases energetic blockages to bring about movement and transformation.

Shamanic healing sessions typically include an intake interview, a diagnostic journey, and shamanic healing techniques.

Rates for remote work (Zoom or phone) are $100 per hour. Rates for in-person work are $125 per hour. See more information on my Contact page.

Here are some of the common shamanic healing techniques that may be incorporated into your healing:

  • Soul retrieval – returning missing soul essence to restore wholeness and vitality
  • Ancestral healing – healing and transforming wounds, traumas and heavy energy passed down through the family lineage
  • Compassionate depossession – clearing suffering beings (also known as discarnate spirits or ghosts) who have attached to the energy field of a living person
  • Curse unraveling – releasing the energy and power from a curse
  • Agreement unraveling – releasing limiting agreements that cause discomfort and blockage
  • Breathwork – using the power of the breath to clear heavy energy from the body and energy field
  • Extraction – removing intrusive energy from the body or energy field
  • Power animal retrieval – connecting to the wisdom and medicine of an animal spirit guide to reclaim lost power and vitality
  • Destiny retrieval – connecting energetically with true purpose in this lifetime
  • Cord removal – tracking and releasing unhealthy energetic connections
