What is Shamanic Healing?

Shamanic Healing is a highly transformative process that that helps us recover from trauma (physical, mental, emotional, or sexual.) Over the past 15 years, I have used this modality to help others recover from deep wounding that keeps us is physical or emotional pain and repeating unhealthy patterns. Although many indigenous cultures use plant medicine to facilitate the healing, this method does not. Shamanic Healing, at its core, is soul recovery - retrieving energy you have lost due to trauma. I will identify when you lost vital energy and bring that energy back to you so you can feel whole and complete.

We have all had traumas in this lifetime as well as past lifetimes; they can be small and fleeting or intense and life changing. There are many life experiences that deeply impact us, which create imbalances in our energy fields. These imbalances can create any number of issues such as physical symptoms, pain, illness, emotional imbalance, anxiety, low energy, depression, anger or feeling stuck and unfulfilled. The heart of Shamanic Healing is feeling whole, complete and empowered. Empowerment connects to profound self-love and self-respect. When we are more empowered we have the ability to manifest our special gifts and what will really fulfill us in all areas of our lives.

Many of our traumas happen in our childhood, connected to the absorbed energy or experiences with our parents, siblings and home environment. Most of us experienced some level of dysfunction within our family system. Our family members, friends, teachers or significant others may have had a wounding affect on us (intentionally or unintentionally). We also may have had traumas in our young adulthood that shaped us greatly. Trauma can be physical, like a car accident, infection, disease, etc. Trauma can also include loss of a loved one or pet, separation from a friend, break ups, divorce, verbal/physical/mental/sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, unhealthy attachment, codependence, or any episode between ourselves and another person that affects us deeply. We also have past life traumas that connect to why we have fears or struggle with particular issues in this lifetime.

When we experience physical and emotional traumas, our energetic systems are greatly affected.  We are left feeling depleted, longing to feel our full potential for health and happiness.

With Reiki, I restore the charkas and balance the energy field. With Shamanic Healing, I go beyond that, returning energetic ‘soul pieces’ we have lost due to trauma, while also doing deep, restorative bodywork.  I then support clients during follow-up sessions to guide them on integrating their energetic soul pieces and connecting further with their own intuitive and self-healing skills.

Shamanic Healing is a 3 month deep transformational program (a 7 session healing intensive) that includes:

• Soul Recovery and Extraction session (SR/E) + Learning how to integrate your energetic soul pieces: 4 hrs

• 5 'Integration and Support' sessions (45 mins each by phone)

• 1 Supportive 2 hr Reiki Session (6 weeks after the SR/E session)

• 5 page SR/E Report (documentation of your Soul Recovery and Extraction)

The Shamanic Healing Program is 3 monthly payments of $393.

Reiki and Shamanic Healing are both forms of energy healing.  Shamanic healing is healing on an accelerated level, and can only be done so often, as pieces need to fully integrate.  Many clients begin first with Reiki, as Shamanic healing is more intensive.

There are many types of Shamanism throughout different cultures.  My extensive 1 year training is through the Native American Cherokee lineage.  I have been doing Shamanic journeys for clients since 2009.  My protocol is created by Ai Gvhdi Waya who wrote "Soul Recovery and Extraction" (available on Amazon). This book details the dynamics of how we are energetically affected by life events and how we energetically affect each other in relationships, which can cause soul loss.

The goal of Shamanic Healing is to have us returned to our fully empowered state, whole and complete, instead of continuing to feel compromised from life experiences that have been energetically, physically and emotionally traumatic- which we’ve all had.  Shamanic Healing helps us understand ourselves on a whole new level in terms of why we have certain fears, struggles, blocks or difficulties in life.  This form of healing gives us the energy and platform to move past them.

Who needs Shamanic Healing?

Everyone is a candidate for this work.  Shamanic Healing centers around trauma in any form, minor or intense, experienced at any age.  While some traumas are more severe than others, we have all had painful experiences that have deeply affected us.  Traumas such as unhealthy relationships, dysfunctional childhoods, illnesses, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, loss of a loved one, break ups and divorce are some examples of experiences that can cause deep energetic imbalance.  Our energetic essence is in need of a more intensive kind of healing and restoration.

The energetic effects from trauma can manifest as a chronic physical or emotional issue - or more simply as a lack of feeling fully fulfilled and empowered in your life.  Shamanic Healing can aid in achieving life goals, lifting depression, creating healthy relationships, relieving chronic anxiety/fatigue/pain/illness, releasing addictions, increasing the ability to fully connect to yourself and others, overcoming fears and helping with PTSD, to name a few.

TESTIMONIALS:

"Shamanic Healing with Kari is truly a process of regaining one's power. This is not just because Kari works with the utmost integrity, but also because she provides support to help integrate the Shamanic work for the three months following the journey. Through my Shamanic work with Kari, I have been able to heal my needs for a fierce mother, understand the origins of when I stopped defending myself, and face my complicated relationship to food. I am deeply connected to each energetic piece retrieved during these journeys. At the end of each journey, Kari provides a detailed report and I cherish these. What a gift to be able to return to the information and gain an even deeper understanding of one's soul."

Rebecca Krisel, Communications Strategist

“During the introduction to Shamanic Healing, you read that you can either see a therapist your entire life to attempt to unpack your issues or embark on the odyssey of soul recovery to reach a resolve in your life - one just takes a whole lot more time and money. This turned out to be entirely the case for me (and then some) when I finally scheduled my own Shamanic Healing experience with Kari.

After a lifetime of reading self-help books, seeing therapists, and jumping from one holistic practitioner to the next, I met Kari and my life was forever changed for the better. Through the Shamanic Healing process, traumas and deep-rooted mechanisms that impacted me throughout my entire life were identified and addressed that I didn't even know existed. I found clarity and resolution around critical aspects of my being that had been shrouded behind the distraction of the marathon of life.  

Throughout the 90 day process and beyond, I have experienced an extreme increase in confidence, clarity around decision-making, optimism for the future, self-awareness and empathy toward others, and elimination of anxiety and stress. The case study, daily practice with your pieces, and periodic check-ins with Kari that follow create reinforced and lasting changes towards your outlook and behaviors. It's as though you finally know yourself and what you need to be happy and feel fulfilled. 

I highly recommend Kari above any other practitioner I've encountered, not only for Shamanic Healing, but for her Reiki and ancillary workshops. She practices with integrity and honesty, and sets a new standard for energy healing.”

“My Shamanic journey with Kari was an experience like no other.  I came out healed and transformed. It was a supreme purification process I went through. I did some powerful generational trauma healing and inner child work that saved me. Going in with monster fears and insecurities, Kari gave me powerful tools that allowed me to come out confident and empowered. My relationships have been enriched and I have a new relationship with money. Kari goes in with full integrity straight to the wounds, root, and cause. I felt safe and protected the entire time, and she is fully connected to Source. This is why I said yes, and I can’t imagine what life would be like if I hadn’t.  She is a master at healthy boundaries.  Kari is professional, thorough, and is the best Shaman I know.  It is beyond worth more than you could ever imagine. Book your journey with the best Shamanic Healer. Thank you, Kari.”

Vanessa García, Body Rehabilitation Specialist/Certified Reiki Practitioner

“I’ve always carried a certain energy with me, switching from sadness to anxiety. I didn’t have significant childhood traumas or any type of trauma in this lifetime that would set me back in adulthood. With hopes of trying to figure out where this emotional block was coming from, I decided to dig deep. Multiple Reiki sessions helped balance my current state but the energy always came back finding its home within me. Kari lead me through an SR/E journey; not knowing what to expect, I immediately felt this chronic feeling being released out of my body. As she relayed her discoveries to me, my life finally started making sense, from the lessons I needed to learn to the way I hold my boundaries with myself and others. I have so much more growth left in my healing process, but I’m finally feeling like I have a place where I can begin. A sigh of relief for my past self and excitement for my future.”

Kristie Nixon, Certified Yoga Instructor/Certified Reiki Practitioner

"I met Kari at a time in my life when I really needed help understanding my psychic and empathic abilities. I was having escilating connections with spirit and energies around me. The Universe put Kari in my path which led to me doing Reiki work and then a Soul Recovery and Extraction (SR/E) with her. 

Working with Kari to do SR/E work was the most powerful work I have ever done in my life. Taking the step to go into the “unknown” gave me pieces of my power back. Doing this soul work allowed me to see who I really am by discovering information from my past life and how my spirit is physically showing up in this lifetime. Amazing changes happened in my life during my soul work with Kari. She was wonderful to work with, very professional, kind and loving - while guiding and teaching me to look within to find my own answers. I would recommend doing this work with Kari if you are looking to dive into this type of intensive soul work. I’m very grateful that the Universe introduced us and I know my future will have another SR/E session with Kari."

“I’ve done Reiki sessions and Shamanic Healing with Kari. I cannot express the many benefits I have experienced from these sessions! I feel more whole and look at life from a different perspective. Instead of hoping things will work out, responding to external situations, and “wishing” for things, I am now empowered to CREATE my life! I wasn’t even aware of how much fear I used to operate on; anxiety drove my actions. I now have tools for how to connect to my passions and inner voice. Let me tell you, it’s powerful!!”

Katherine Pavlik, Engineer

"I came to Kari originally through a strong recommendation of a friend for her Soul Recovery and Extraction (SR/E) work.  I had always been curious about past lives.  My friend had shared that she got energetic 'pieces' back both from this lifetime and a past life and came to learn there were threads that wove through both.  She had said that it helped her make peace with her family in a deep way.  I was really more curious than anything, but also had a feeling there were some things from my past that didn't feel quite healed with other approaches. There was no way I could have prepared for how powerful the work would be.  Not only did I find out things from my past life that were reflected in this life, like why I had certain struggles with learning or processing (that have since resolved after my treatment), but I have the deep experience of having parts of my soul healed and returned that were lost after traumatic events (death, heartbreak, abuse).  I feel whole in a way that has brought me the experience of being alive that was missing for years.  I have important memories now that had long been suppressed and my performance at work has improved.  My boss even noted that I was more present and he could tell I trusted myself more.  You meditate daily with the energetic pieces you get back.  They became my most trusted guides and helped me develop what I could describe as a 6th sense that has trained me to use better judgment in work, personal relationships, and my long term goals.

Kari also helped me stop unhealthy family dynamics and end toxic patterns that echoed into other parts of my life with her Setting Boundaries session.  Once I stopped those patterns in my relationships with my family, I found my voice and power in other parts of my life, like relationships with co-workers and supervisors.  It was like I had this amazing power source inside me, but it had been leaking out for years.  She showed me where the source of that leak was so I could stop losing power.  It completely changed my relationship with my mom and gave me the ability to create a relationship that honored who I am, instead of being the product of an unhealthy power struggle.  It really set me free.

Finally, Kari is the best and most accurate Reiki practitioner I have been to, and I have had the pleasure of being treated by some wonderful healers over the years.  We started with Reiki first before Shamanic Healing.  I had no idea that chakras could be measured or that I could, in my daily meditations, take actions to help productively direct energy in a way that helped mend areas weakened by stress.  I have also become much more spiritually intuitive, which is so cool because I am now able to support my own healing and trust what I experience more deeply, whether that's the sense I get when a meet a new person, or a hidden truth about a problem in my work environment.  

If you are someone who feels like circumstances in life - be it a heartbreak, physical injury or professional failure - have impacted your ability to live powerfully or you have the sense that you have lost a part of yourself over time, she works miracles.  I have shared her work with my best friends, and now they are passing it on to others.  She's one of best tools in my tool belt of personal healing and development."
