Shamanic Healing

Shamanic Healing

I offer individual sessions over zoom or in my home office in Lowell, MA. Because of my other training in bodywork, anatomy, functional health, and transforming trauma symptoms, sessions with me tend to focus on how the work with your physical body and energy body can restore stability and health.

 

We work together to find unwanted energies in your field that may be trapped, stuck, or disrupting your health, mental health, or relationships. We work together to clear what needs to go, return the parts that were lost, and build practices so that you can find transformation, integration, clarity, and stability.

 

I also offer house clearings in conjunction with another practitioner to clear and remove unwanted energies in homes and buildings.

 

Additionally, I train new Shamanic Practitioners who want to do this work. See the Shamanic Practitioner Training page for more info.

About Shamanic Practices

When studying pre-Christian cultures, anthropologists noticed that small tribes and villages across the globe had common threads in their spiritual practices and their understanding of the non-material world.

These common threads include music or drumming to connect to the spirit world, an understanding of holistic health and the energy body, and an ability to communicate with spirit guides, angels, power animals, totems, past lives, or ancestors.

A thoughtful Shamanic Practitioner should be able to name the lineage from which they practice, understand colonization in the United States, and recognize the difference between honoring and appropriating culture.

A thoughtful practitioner studies deeply with a teacher or teachers, has a regular embodied practice, and works to bring healing, peace, and kindness to their community.

Shamanism has an understanding that in addition to our physical body, we have an energy body. Much of our distress comes from the loss of a soul part or from an intrusion of unwanted energy.

My practice

The Shamanic work I practice dates back 60,000 years. We work with guides, totems, and energies to reach ways of knowing and receiving information from beyond the material plane.

Shamanic Practice allows us to journey to other dimensions and realms. We can find wisdom in these dimensions to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet

 

The aim of this work is to find energies that may be disintegrated, fragmented, or disowned and reintegrate them so that we can move toward becoming more conscious. Part of this process is recognizing and casting off old narratives that no longer serve us.

 

We then call in the parts of us that are ready to step into balanced power as well as the energies that will support that power within us. We learn how to make the small and large choices in our lives with intention and integrity, to bring healing and health to ourselves and our relationships, but also to our larger communities and to the world.

Work with Me

How I work

I work as a healing artist and also to train novice practitioners to develop the skills of their own Shamanic Practice.

 

Because of my other training in bodywork, anatomy, functional health, and transforming trauma symptoms, I have a particular skill at working with your physical body, your energy body and your psychology to empower you to restore your stability and health.

 

As we work together:

We each work to bring more balance and vitality into our lives. Over time, we show up in family, community, and society with more agency to affect change and create the world we want to see. Choosing to heal and to be in relationship with Spirit is a radical choice to be actively engaged with the world around us and to be creating conscious change.

Your role as collaborator

In choosing to work with me, you understand that I do just one part of the work. In order for the energy work to stick, you need to do the other part, and take responsibility for your part.

 

Between our sessions, you’ll need to practice consistently in order to create lasting change.

I have had the distinct privilege of working with Josie in many different environments. With the help of Josie’s mentorship and guidance I have been able to start having a symbiotic and healing relationship with my body. After taking Josie’s movement class, I have been completely in tune and embodied, and have tools to continue developing that relationship for the rest of my life. Outside of our time in a classroom, Josie has always made it a point to encourage and help me be at my best. She has helped give me tools to be self sufficient, grounded, and a well rounded human being to benefit not only myself but those around me. I am so lucky to have a mentor and colleague in Josie
