What to expect

SHAMANIC HEALING IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

SETTING INTENTIONS & BUILDING SAFE SPACE

We'll begin with an initial conversation to understand your wellness goals and assess your overall well-being, determining if this healing journey is the right fit. In our first session, we'll then focus on clarifying your intentions for healing and building a sense of trust and safety through practices like boundary setting and grounding, which are essential for this sacred work.

DEEP HEALING AND RECEIVING GUIDANCE

As I complete the journey or energy work, I'll share what I experienced and any healing actions that were performed, such as restoring lost vitality or clearing old patterns. You may also receive specific messages or guidance from spiritual allies, helping you understand your path forward and promoting optimal healing on all levels.

energetic clearing

 

 

With a foundation of safety, I'll enter a meditative state, often with gentle drumming, to journey into a spiritual realm or work directly with your energy field. My aim is to gather insights, identify any root causes of imbalance, and perform specific energetic clearings or retrievals to release what's holding you back. You'll relax, allowing the process to unfold.
 

integrating your transformation & continuing your path

The final session focuses on thoughtfully closing our sacred healing space and ensuring the lasting impact of the work. We'll reflect on the important lessons embodied, reinforce any specific practices developed, and clarify ongoing steps or "soul work" to help you fully integrate these energetic shifts into your daily life, leaving you feeling more whole, empowered, and deeply aligned with your true self.

THE BENEFITS OF SHAMANIC HEALING

restore your life source & spiritual energy

Life's challenges or past traumas can sometimes leave you feeling depleted, unmotivated, or as if a part of your spirit is missing. Shamanic healing works to bring back your vital energy and "soul essence" that may have become fragmented, leaving you feeling more whole, vibrant, and fully present in your life.

CLEAR OLD ENERGETIC PATTERNS AND BLOCKS

Just as our physical bodies can accumulate toxins, our spiritual and energetic bodies can hold onto blockages or negative patterns that hinder our growth. Shamanic healing can identify and gently help release these old, unhelpful energies, allowing you to move forward with greater spiritual freedom and consciously create new, healthier ways of being.

DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL CONNECTION AND PURPOSE

If you're seeking a deeper understanding of your life's path or a stronger connection to something greater than yourself, shamanic healing can open those doors. It helps you tune into your intuition, find clarity on your purpose, and feel more deeply aligned with your authentic self and the natural world around you.
