Shamanic Healing

‘Shamanism’ is a term used to describe a universal spiritual practice and outlook, not tied to any particular religion, culture or continent, and believed to be the oldest surviving healing practice on earth. The shamanic worldview honors the Spirit in us and all around us, honors our interconnectedness with all things, and brings us into a profound awareness of the sacred nature of our world - making it more relevant now than ever, as our planet, our environment and our hearts - need urgent healing.

‘We must remember how to honor and respect life with each breath, step, word, and thought. What you bless blesses you in return. This is the power of reciprocity.’ - Sandra Ingerman, renowned shamanic teacher

The shamanic path was an important part of Rae’s personal health journey, as she recovered from a serious illness that took her into close proximity to the death state and, for years, left her unable to walk. Her profound sacred experiences and healing prompted her to begin deep shamanic training and training as a healer, including studying and practicing Seidr (Norse Shamanic Magic), and Core Shamanism, and receiving over 100 hours of advanced shamanic practitioner training in Soul Retrieval, Extraction work, Psychopomp work (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός, psychopompós, literally meaning the 'guide of souls') and more.

How can shamanic healing sessions help you?

Shamanic healing has been used for many thousands of years to address a wide range of issues and causes of illness, pain and disharmony in body, mind and soul. This work is deeply embedded in our ancestral lineages, firmly reconnects you with the sacred, connects mind, body and spirit, and powerfully reconnects you with your own guardian spirits. Rae’s shamanic sessions directly address soul loss, power loss, extraction of intrusive unseen energies, psychopomp work and more, depending on your individual needs and circumstances.

Shamanic sessions are deeply sacred and can be moving and life-changing experiences, as reflected in the endorsements by clients found at the bottom of this page.

90-minute Shamanic sessions involve considerable preparation time by Rae. Sessions are conducted in Rae’s private healing room in Victoria, BC, or depending on your needs and location, online via Zoom.

I look forward to working with you in the spirit of healing.

Blessings, Rae
