About me
Somatic Shamanism is an integration of Shamanic and Yogic healing methods with contemporary therapeutic models. Shamanism (being a practice of Animism - the belief that everything is alive) draws upon the more than human and the ancient knowledge and medicines that we learn from them. Yogic practice brings the body and spirit into alignment through physical practice. Contemporary therapeutic modalities are blended with these powerful ancient ones to give the client deep, profound and joyful healings.
Contemporary life can be overwhelming. You deserve to live a happy, fulfilled and peaceful life and Somatic Shamanism can be good treatment for anxiety, depression and low self esteem as well as helping you to find purpose and power in your life.
Shamanism connects us to the wider ecology, allowing us to draw strength and empowerment from this vast network and see beyond ourselves. As we are social creatures, when we can feel this connection, we can tap back into an immense vitality that is our birthright. Our contemporary society is built upon the myth of human supremacy, which disconnects us from this extensive power source. With Somatic Shamanism we work with the plant and animal world and their archetypes to provide invigorating and transformative healings.
The Somatic elements of this work take bodily sensations as the starting point. We listen to the signals that the body is trying to show us and follow where they go, integrating a combination of healing techniques to move through the issues you bring to the sessions. Within this I employ the contemporary models of Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory and Focussing alongside older yogic and breathwork techniques.
