Shamanism
I'm excited you're here, reading about Shamanism, potentially getting ready to dive into the richness it can offer! I offer a number of shamanic services in Glasgow, Scotland. Shamanism is a way of life for me, alongside yoga. Together, these wonderful practices have provided me with a toolbox of coping strategies to handle the challenges of life. I hope it can help you too.
I began my personal journey with shamanism in 2014, then subsequently qualified and began working as a practitioner in 2020 after two years of training at the https://www.shamaniccentre.com/ with Claudia Goncalves and Mark Halliday. Shamanic Sessions are on offer from 4.00pm onwards on Monday evenings at the Wellbeing Hub and can be done in person, or online via zoom.
It's important to note these practices are complementary to and not replacement for western medicine and / or mental health services.
I’m trauma informed, meaning I can support you around trauma and I understand its impact. I do not have the level of expertise, training or qualification to treat or diagnose PTSD or CPTSD

3 Month Wellbeing Package
This consists of 4, 1:1 sessions and 2 group sessions. The exact type of work will be identified through an individual consultation form as it gives the opportunity for energy and information to surface. This may include a combination of treatments such as shamanic healing, reiki, yoga, breath work and meditation.
There is also the opportunity to attend 2 shamanic circles during this time.
Shamanic Journeying
Shamanic journeying is woven throughout all shamanic healing sessions. If you are new to shamanism, I can do this on your behalf.
Alternatively, I can guide you through a journey if you have prior experience or feel empowered enough to be supported through this.
Shamanic journeying involves the use of drumming to create an altered state. The drumming helps to alter brainwaves to create a trance (theta) state. This enables me, the practitioner, to travel to inner realms and landscapes to obtain information for the purpose of healing.
I also host monthly shamanic circles for anyone who would like to learn to journey for their own personal insight and wisdom.
Soul retrieval
If we experience a difficult life event, emotional or physical trauma, our soul copes with the shock by allowing a piece of it to fragment. Examples of life events that may trigger soul loss are abuse, surgery, accident, bereavement or the end of a relationship.
Other people can also “steal” parts of our soul. This is common in situations such as relationship break ups. Soul loss may cause us to feel disconnected, like a part of us is missing, we have lost our spark, or we just don’t feel the same.
Over time, it can manifest as emotional and physical disease. This is because soul loss can cause a hole in the etheric body, allowing intrusive energies to attach.
Soul Retrieval is for everyone who wants to deepen their connection to self, loved ones and nature. Led by an intention to find the lost soul, I will journey to find the missing soul part and return it to your energy body.
Past life healing
Past life healing is a similar process to soul retrieval. This is suitable for anyone who has done a lot of work on themselves and there is still a problem. I will be able to journey to an altered state through drumming or rattling to identify whether this is a past life issue. On the shamanic path, time doesn’t exist, meaning that we can journey into previous lives for the purpose of healing.
Empowerment & protection
This involves journeying to find your power animal to help strengthen your energy field. We all have a main power animal who walks through life with us. Their role is to teach, heal and show us who we are. Your power animal is part of your evolution and works with you at a subconscious level. It can protect you and your home during times of crisis. You will also be shown techniques to help protect your energy field and prevent this from being depleted by others.
Extraction
A common form of energetic complaint is misplaced energies in a person’s energy field or aura. This energy doesn’t belong here and it can enter through a hole in our aura. If these negative energies remain in our aura for a prolonged period, they may manifest as negative thoughts, inappropriate behaviour towards others and physical ailments.
Other people can direct negative emotional energy towards us and this may attach to our aura. We can see this if someone’s energy was having a negative effect on a room, for example, “they were drawing me daggers”, “you can cut the atmosphere with a knife” Examples of negative energies that other people project onto us can be jealousy, manipulation, negative attachments in relationships.
I will enter a shamanic state of consciousness to identify what the intrusion is and where it is misplaced in the body. Once the misplaced energy is discovered, I will merge with my power animals or guides to remove it.
Psychopomp Work
Psychopomp work is a core shamanic practice which involves escorting souls to the other side. Often souls or energies may not be able to “cross over” or “go to the light”. They are stuck and may not feel at peace because they require help to be free from dilemma, to enable them to continue on their spiritual journey. Psychopomp work can be carried out during extraction work, or in personal living and workspaces.
