A shaman functions as a healer who works in an altered state of consciousness to connect with spirit realms in order to bring power, healing, and information to you. The word shaman comes from a Siberian word that means “one who sees in the dark” and refers to people who are seers, healers, and medicine people. Shamans are people who believe that all problems (physical, emotional, or mental) have a spiritual component to them. Imbalance of some kind can play a role in physical, emotional, or mental problems. The shaman works to restore balance and give power/strength to the person with the problem.
If you’re someone who has achieved a lot but still feels a sense of emptiness or disconnection, I understand how confusing that can be. You might be wondering why, despite your success, you still feel like something is missing. My approach blends psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, and shamanic healing to help you break through those mental and emotional barriers. Together, we’ll work to clear the energetic blocks holding you back, reconnect you with your true self, and guide you toward living a more aligned, purposeful life.
