Soul loss can occur when we experience any kind of trauma, loss, shock, or pain. As a result of the painful experience, a part of the soul leaves the body. This serves as a kind of self-defense mechanism to avoid the pain of the experience. Soul loss can come from abuse of any kind (physical, mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual), the death of a loved one, long term illness, surgery, childbirth, loss of a home, loss of a job, divorce/separation/break-up, experiencing a natural disaster or some kind of violence.

Symptoms of soul loss can include chronic illness, depression, addiction, suicidal ideation, deep grief, memory loss and feeling disconnected from the body.

During soul retrieval, I work with a client to find, heal, and return lost soul parts and help the client integrate the newly returned soul parts.

Shamans believe that every person has a spirit guardian. The role of this guardian is to protect you and give you strength when you need it. The spirit guardians are from the natural world and tend to be mammals, birds, or water creatures. The guardians bring their individual talents, gifts and abilities into compassionate service to help you throughout your life.

Shamans believe each person is born with power allies/helpers/guardians but there are times in your life when you might benefit from additional power. Times like these might include recovering from surgery or an illness, overcoming trauma, or when you are in a time of transition (leaving a relationship, starting a family, etc.).

During power retrieval, I will locate your power and bring it back to you. Spirit knows just what you need and will show me which guardian is for you as it will have the specific abilities, aspects and characteristics to help you best.

Shamanic healing can include removing energetic intrusions or misplaced energy. An intrusion is anything that does not belong inside your energy field. Intrusions can result from encounters with negative energy or negative thought forms (also known as attachments).

“Depossession” can sound scary. Compassionate depossession is the gentle guidance of any spirit which may be attached to you in error to go where it belongs. I am a firm believer in drama-free depossessions. There is no need for a lot of anger, threatening, and fuss. Many times the spirit that has attached itself to you does not know where else it can go and just needs some loving direction.

Symptoms of intrusions or unwanted energetic attachments can include any of the following: Loss of energy, sudden mood changes, sudden onset of pain, sleep disruptions, sudden anger, depression, or suicidal ideation.

There are times when, for various reasons, some individual may remain in this realm after death instead of “crossing over” into the Light. Some of those reasons include a sudden or unexpected death (death by accident, violence, or completion of suicide), having a deep attachment to a person, or feeling like there is important business not completed prior to death. The shaman assists the person who has died to cross over to the Light.
