Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that dates back over a hundred thousand years. Shamans are spiritual healers who see with the heart and travel between the seen and unseen realms for healing, divination and ceremony.

By offering my service, focus and intention as a Shamanic Teacher and Healer, I honor my true calling.

Sharing my knowledge and skills in the self-revelatory path of Shamanism is my passion and so, I teach Shamanic Journeying and Shamanic Healing and guide Journey Circles and facilitate Mentorship - Programs for those who want to expand and advance their Shamanic Practice in a dedicated, individualized and tailored way.

Throughout my healing practice and training, I was initiated and guided by a large family of loving Helping Spirits who continue to lend their support for each and every ceremony, healing endeavor and shamanic training that I provide.

In 2024 and 2025, I have trained in Shamanism with Sandra Ingerman in person and with teachers from her network in Medicine for the Earth, Healing with Spiritual Light, intensive Soul-Retrieval, Shamanic Extractions and Psychopomp, Death & Dying. In 2019, I trained with Nicki Scully in 'Egyptian Shamanic Alchemy'.

During 2024, I studied and practiced Shamanic Healing techniques in Nepal with traditional Nepalese Shamans of the Sherpa and Kirati lineages.

My initial training was with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in Asia from 2017 - 2022 and included advanced Divination, connection to Nature Spirits, compassionate Depossession and the 3-year course for 'Advanced Initiations in Shamanism & Shamanic Healing'.

Furthermore, I am certified in 'Himalayan Art of Sound Healing and Therapy' since 2025 and am a certified 'Usui Reiki Master (level III)' since 2016. During 2021, I completed several courses at The Monroe Institute. As well, I am initiated into Akashic Record Reading and have trained in Numerology and Remote Viewing.

Shamanic Healing

A Shamanic Healing ceremony addresses imbalances in your energy system, in your soul and in your physical body. It belongs to the category of ‘Energy Medicine’ and aspires to restore your natural state of well-being, wholeness and clarity. It cleanses and re-calibrates your energy field and helps to reclaim your power.

As we go through life, we pick up energetic residue from the environment around us, from trauma, toxic relationships, loss and we carry emotional baggage that often remains not tended to. This can have long-term effects on our health and happiness. Shamanic Healing is an age-old way of treating these issues before they burrow deeper and manifest in physical form.

Each healing session develops it’s unique and magical tapestry around your personal needs and is informed by what is present in your life and the challenges you may face. A combination of healing techniques is applied. This may include extractions, spirit release, cord-cutting, reunion with lost parts of your soul and empowerment from animal spirits.

A Shamanic Healing session lasts about 2 - 3 hours and to prepare for your personal time of healing, I connect to the spirit world long before you arrive to uncover your individual medicine. The effects of the healing are often felt right away and continue to develop and integrate over several months.

Clients report that they feel lighter, more joyful, whole and experience a more positive outlook on life. They feel empowered, more connected to their souls and more their authentic selves. Creativity is sparked to initiate new projects. They perceive a new level of consciousness and are filled with peace. The world becomes a better place.

A Shamanic Healing ceremony is for you if you haven’t felt entirely yourself lately, if you want to leave the past behind, if you are not living to your fullest potential or lacking power and clarity.

Healing sessions are available with prior appointments in-person in Chiang Mai and remote to anywhere in the world.

Drum Healing

A treatment with the Healing Drum often sets the stage for the session as it helps to clear the energetic body around the client and assists in fully arriving in the healing space and the ability to relax into receiving from the spirits. Drum healing is also a good way to address localized physical pain.

Shamanic Extractions

Misplaced energies and blockages that may lead to physical illness and dis-ease are cleared and removed from your energetic and physical body. These might be disturbing energetic residues that were picked up from the environment, through interactions with other people, from relationships, through self-sabotaging thought-loops or through ‘darts’ and energetic disturbances that we have been targeted with by others, e.g. through their anger, resentment and jealousy towards us.

What does not belong will be extracted and the void will be filled with desirable and delectable energy. This procedure will leave you feeling overall cleansed, lighter and ready for a fresh start.

Soul Parts Retrieval

To mend your soul, missing pieces of your soul energy will be recovered that may have been lost during traumatic experiences in your past. This happened to all of us to some extend - often during childhood, through emotional trauma, accidents or physical and emotional violence and abuse. Parts of the soul left because the situation was just too painful. In psychological terms this is called ‘disassociation’. The Shamanic Healer will journey to find these lost soul-parts, transport them back and re-unite the client with missing parts of their souls and vital life-essence and bring back their unique gifts and messages.

What is lost will be returned. This is a beautiful procedure which will leave you feeling more joyful and whole and more connected to your authentic self and ready to live with renewed purpose.

Power Animal Connection

We all enter this life with invisible supporters. Some of those are the power or totem animals. When we decide to meet and work with our power animals, the connection to these spirit energies is strengthened and can bring us greater vitality. Meeting your power animals will provide you with additional energy, a sense of optimism and the perception of spiritual support. Very often, clients subconsciously ‘know’ about their power animals. They may have already objects at home that represent them or have an interest in a particular animal species.

Cord Cutting

Cord Cutting is a component of the Advanced Healing session as a second segment in your healing journey.

Cords are formed with people we meet to allow for the exchange of energy and emotions. This is desirable for the relationships that are still in place and give us joy. If cords from past connections - e.g. from family members, toxic and abusive encounters, incompatible friends - remain, we may unknowingly give away our energy. At the same time, we may have been corded against our wishes by others who decided they wanted a deeper bond.

These cords can be perceived as lines, tubes or branches. As they are removed, the energetic residue of their origin is discharged. It leaves the client feeling refreshed, vitalized and in control of their personal energy field.

Spirit Release & Compassionate Depossession

Diagnostics and treatment for entity influence and possession are part of the Advanced Healing session where deeper seated issues are addressed as a second segment in your healing journey.

It is common that discarnate spirits, or lost souls, look for new ‘homes’ in human bodies. They may have been acquired during drug- and alcohol abuse, depression, anesthesia or generally physically and spiritually weak states. These entities may influence thoughts, feelings, preferences and behavior. During the healing they are released in a compassionate way to leave the client free from the effects of unwanted ‘guests’.

Psychopomp Work

A Psychopomp acts as a 'soul-guide', an usher and an escort for lost souls to the Other Side. Interaction with the dead is a core shamanic practice since ancient times and is part of every Shaman's work. After the physical death of the body, the soul might not have moved on into the Light but instead morphed into a new state of being beyond the earthly plane for a variety of reasons. Souls who remain in this state are often not at peace. The Psychopomp's job is to locate them and through compassionate inquiry find out what happened and help them to move to the 'Other Side' and 'into the Light' if they wish to do so. Sometimes, clients wonder if their deceased family members and friends are truly at peace or not. The Psychopomp will find the answer.

Foundation Shamanic Journey & Healing Training

This is the 2-days foundation training to develop a personal shamanic practice in the tradition of Core-Shamanism and is suitable for beginners and as a refresher training. In addition, this is the pre-requisite for ALL advanced training courses.

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that dates back over a hundred thousand years. Shamans are spiritual healers who see with the heart and travel between the seen and unseen realms for healing, divination and ceremony.

The Shamanic Journey is a common ritual performed by Shamanic Healers all over the world, regardless of their culture. It is not required to belong to an indigenous tribe or to be a Shaman in order to learn how to journey. Anyone who feels an interest, can learn this and apply it to gain access to the well of wisdom that dwells within each of us and retrieve information and guidance from Helping Spirits.

All techniques learned can be easily replicated at home in your own time and can complement an existing spiritual routine from other traditions or become your main focus of spiritual evolution. There is no limit to what you can do with your shamanic practice once you learned how to connect to your Helping Spirits.

People who journey frequently often report feeling spiritually more connected, energized, happy and supported from their interactions with the spirit world.

Some of the magical things you will learn about are: Shamanic cosmology and how to navigate the worlds Shamans commonly travel to, how to prepare for shamanic journeys, how to meet and interact with your personal spirit animal guides and spiritual teachers in the Lower and Upper Worlds, how to decipher and interpret your journey experiences, how to receive information to your life-questions and how to journey easily at home & ground yourself after.

As a basic Shamanic Healing method, we will learn about power-loss and how to remedy this by bringing back a Power-Animal for another person.

19th & 20th July 2025, 9.30 am - 5.30 pm and 18th & 19th October, 9.30 am - 5.30 pm at Vivara Retreat Center (managed by Chiang Mai Holistic).

During 2 days, we will work outside in Nature and inside on the premises of Vivara Retreat Center. We will experience the healing powers of the Sun, finding ally-spirits in Nature and learn how to present offerings to the spirit world in ordinary and non-ordinary realities.

We will craft an eye-curtain and test it’s use with active journeying methods, working in- and outdoors. We will learn about Shamanic Altars and Tools and how to empower them. We will discover your place in the Ancestral and Descendants lines and learn directly from them what they want to share with you.

This training is right for you, if you want to deepen, enhance, upgrade and boost your individual shamanic practice with traditional shamanic ways that have been proven to be effective over thousands of years. You will know by the excitement and the passion you feel upon reading this summary if this course is right for you.
