In 2024, at the Solstice, I completed my two-year advanced training to become a shamanic practitioner. This programme was not simply a course of study but a deep commitment to personal healing, spiritual growth, and service to community.

​

I am honoured to be endorsed by my teacher Alison Gamblin in the ordinary-reality lineage of Sandra Ingerman, and my graduation was held under the guidance of Sekhmet and Isis. This endorsement represents both the integrity of the teachings I have received and the responsibility I now carry in offering this work to others.

Why This Work Matters Today

​

Shamanism is the most ancient spiritual practice known, and the foundation of many healing and spiritual traditions still in use today. For thousands of years, shamans have held the role of healer, guide, and bridge between world - helping restore balance, power, and harmony to both people and the land.

Our modern world has left many people feeling disconnected, powerless, and without purpose. From a shamanic perspective, this is the root of much illness and suffering: a loss of power. Shamanic healing helps to restore that power, reweaving the threads of life and reconnecting people with their own wholeness, their ancestors, and the land they live upon.

Before we can be of service to others, we must first begin with ourself - committing to our own healing, reclaiming our own power, and "dreaming the right dream" for our lives. This is the foundation of my own path, and it shapes how I hold space for others.

Training and Practices

​

The two-year programme I undertook was structured around the Celtic Medicine Wheel, using ceremony and journeying to connect with the land, the Ancestors, and the turning of the seasons. Alongside this, I trained in a wide range of traditional and modern shamanic methods, including:

​

• Extraction – removing spiritual intrusions that cause imbalance

• Soul Retrieval – restoring parts of the soul that have been lost through trauma

• Power Animal Retrieval – reconnecting with guiding spirits and sources of strength

• Psychopomp – supporting the transition of souls at death and dying

• Ancestral Healing – unravelling unhelpful patterns and lineages

• Compassionate Depossession – restoring harmony when overshadowing spirits are present

• Ceremony – creating and holding ceremonies for healing, transformation, and community

• Animal Spirit Medicine – working with animals for healing and guidance

• Plant Spirit Medicine – deepening connection with plants for spiritual healing

• Land Healing – honouring and restoring relationship with place and environment

​The training also included ethical practice, self-care, legal considerations, and how to integrate shamanic work with other healing modalities.
 

A Living Practice

Becoming a practitioner is not simply about learning techniques; it is about walking a path of integrity, service, and humility. My role is not to claim the title of shaman - that gift belongs to the Spirits and to the community I serve - but to walk with dedication, applying the ancient practices in a way that is meaningful and ethical in our modern times.

This work is about remembering, reconnecting, and restoring power. It is about helping people find their sacred dream and live from a place of balance, resilience, and harmony. It is also about honouring the land, the ancestors, and the communities we are part of.

Embodied Coaching & Facilitation

​

In addition to my shamanic training, I am a certified Embodied Practitioner. This work complements my shamanic practice by grounding spiritual insight in the body, helping people integrate healing through presence, movement, and awareness. It brings a practical depth to the way I hold space, ensuring that transformation is not just understood in the mind but lived and felt in the whole self.
