Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice dating back may thousands of years. Indeed, it may be the oldest spiritual practice known to humans. The shamanic world view is that the whole of nature is alive and we are all connected and in relationship with every part of it. This means that even so-called “inanimate” objects are alive (have a spirit) and can be experienced as such and spoken to, for example; stones, weather, rivers. It also includes man-made objects such as cars and buildings.

Shamanism doesn’t exist without spirits and the word “spirit” is loaded with many meanings for many people. In this context however, a shaman or shamanic practitioner will have a relationship with spirit guides and helpers existing in the non-physical realms. The shamanic healer is initiated into the practise of travelling to Non-Ordinary Reality (The Spirit World) to meet and work with spirit helpers in many forms; human, animal or other, for the service of the community.

Only one question/subject is allowed per reading because the intention of the shamanic journey needs to be kept as clear and concise as possible. Stacking multiple questions at once about different subjects will not yield clear answers and the results will be fragmented and disparate and therefore unhelpful for you.

However I do offer to unpack the symbolism and meaning of the initial reading with subsequent journeys but only in the same session.

Spirits don’t want to be hemmed in by our binary thinking of either/or and sometimes they don’t attach the same values to situations as we do. For example, asking “Should I take this job or not?” will yield little information because for Spirit, any experience on this earth is a valuable teaching experience. A better question would be “What would taking this job allow me to experience?”. You can then decide for yourself if you want to go forward with it.

What Spirit desire to show us is the potent meaning and insight in response to our questions, as well as many other blessings and gifts that we may not be aware of. They do this best when we allow the critical, analytical mind to step aside and the glorious unconscious to unveil itself in symbols and imagery which are usually beyond description with words. They want to show us rather than tell us and invite us to feel intuitively rather than think. It’s so much more valuable and empowering that way.

I do not offer refunds. Please be aware of this before you book and pay for your session. Although I set the intention with your question for the journey before I start, I cannot control the information that Spirit want to convey through me as their messenger. Sometimes, the journeys can be mysterious and difficult to interpret. Sometimes they contain truths that are tough to accept. If it comes up in a journey, then you are meant to hear it. Only book a session if you are willing to listen to what Spirit will tell you. I do my best to offer interpretation and suggestions of how to make use of Spirit guidance going forward.

Sorry, no. I feel that it would be unethical of me to interpret the work of others. My role is to work directly with the spirit helpers I have a relationship with and to deliver their messages to my clients.

Possibly, but I believe that it is not set in stone and scenarios shown in journeys are just potentialities that may or may not happen with any certainty. There is no such thing as time in the Spirit world in the same way we experience it here in this physical realm. Therefore asking “When” questions is usually not helpful or accurate. I will not therefore, tell you that something will or won’t happen or give timelines. You must decide what to do with the information provided in the reading and how you would like it to inform your future.

Yes, you can ask further questions about the results of your reading, for example to clarify something you don’t understand or to explain the meaning of a symbol. But for further guidance from Spirit you will need to book another session or learn to journey yourself.

Once I have received payment AND I have clarified the question you wish to ask (as necessary), then I aim to respond within a week. If I can respond faster then I will do. I will be in touch to let you know.

After we have agreed a question, or a series of related questions depending on which package you purchase, I will email you the results of your reading. Sometimes there are images and symbols which I will draw for you and send you as an image file. If you have any questions following the reading, please get in touch.
