In my practice I am pleased to offer Shamanic Healing Sessions in the Core Shamanic and Norse/Nordic Seiðkona traditions, Reiki Sessions in the Usui tradition, one-on-one Coaching, Sacred Candle Vigils, Birth Rune Readings using the 33-Rune Anglo-Saxon ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ Futhorc (Proto-Norse Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon and Northumbrian Runes) and more. I maintain a free Community Altar, and also support bereaved families through work as a CCAOC-certified Funeral Celebrant, working with families in Victoria, BC and surrounds. I work with people of all faiths and beliefs and provide a safe healing space regardless of race, gender, ability or sexual orientation.
Information on my training is available below.
I understand firsthand the power of this work to heal, transform, and create positive change.
My work is based on direct experience as well as extensive training. For nearly eight years, I suffered from a debilitating rare illness that left me in severe pain and unable to walk. This challenging experience of deep illness heightened my non-physical senses, brought me into close proximity to the death state, and underlined the fact that we are far more than just our physical bodies. Traditional cultures, Indigenous leaders, Shamans, holistic healers, and spiritual teachers have long understood this, as do many scientists and researchers, particularly those exploring questions of consciousness, healthcare professionals witnessing end-of-life care, and those using the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) model of care.
My experience changed me deeply, set me on a path of deep spiritual work and training, finding more holistic treatment (caring for the whole person through biological/medical, psychological, social and spiritual care) and ultimately recovery to full remission, and work as a healer, shamanic practitioner and practicing Seiðkona.
I look forward to working with you in the spirit of healing.
Blessings, Rae

Wow!!! Rae is absolute magic. I had a Shamanic Healing today and I am still feeling the vibration from it. Rae created such a safe and sacred space that I felt like I could fully let go and allow her to work on me.
