Testimonials

"Denise is a godsend that you can count on. As a stay-at-home mother with lifelong habits of self-sabotage, I often feel trapped, exhausted, and at wit's end. At times, I despair. Not only does Denise keep me sane, she helps me to remember my true purpose. She is also helping me to love myself and to own my power. I am a tough nut to crack, but Denise is really, really good at what she does. I am finally healing."

"Denise helped me to slip so deeply into the past, that I could finally see and feel the root of my childhood pain - this was a place that I had been unconsciously terrified to explore, and yet she helped me go there... and I felt safely held all the way."

Shamanic Healing & Counseling

Shamanic healing is very likely humankind’s oldest practice of both healing and spirituality; archeologists and shamans speculate the practice has been in use for over 100,000 years. Michael Harner, in his ground-breaking The Way of the Shaman, described the shamanic practitioner as one “who enters an altered state of consciousness — at will — to contact and utilize an ordinarily hidden reality in order to acquire knowledge, power and to help other persons.” The technology of using that contact to bring healing to individuals, communities and the planet is what shamanic practice is about.

During a shamanic healing session, you and Denise will form an alliance with Spirit in order to discover vital information and perspectives; re-gain your personal power; heal trauma from past life events; neutralize obstacles to health and well-being; and harmonize with the legacies created by your ancestors.

Denise uses specific shamanic techniques to affect a healing, including: soul retrieval and integration; compassionate depossession; ancestral healing; energy extraction and curse unraveling; power retrieval; space and land energy clearing; ritual creation (and participation when appropriate) for the transformation of energy; and ceremony to mark life’s significant events. Denise may also use Reiki and other chakra work as appropriate during a healing session.

What happens during a shamanic healing session?

Each session, whether in person or over the phone, begins with a conversation. You and Denise discuss what matters to you in your life, what is calling for healing at that moment, and your hopes for the session’s outcome. Then, you will sit or lie down with Denise, and she will enter the trance “journey” state and begin her journey on your behalf. Your job is to simply relax during this process. Once the work in the Spirit realms is complete, Denise will work with you to incorporate new energies or soul parts into your physical and energetic bodies, and to answer any questions you might have about the completed work. You are invited and encouraged to talk with Denise over the weeks and months following shamanic healing to integrate new energies and changing patterns into your life.

Shamanic Counseling

The trance state the shamanic practitioner enters in order to communicate with the realms of Spirit are every human’s birthright. Each of us is eventually, with the intention and proper environment, able to enter the trance state called “journeying” in order to communicate with Spirit. Denise can help you to enrich your journeying experiences and incorporate the wisdom and power you gain into your life through shamanic counseling. Contact Denise to learn more about how counseling will work in your life.

Can we do this work over the phone?

Some shamanic work can be performed over the phone. Contact Denise to explore the possibilities for your situation.
