At the risk of oversimplifying, I go on shamanic journeys because it is an insightful and effective healing process to deeply self-nourish, beautify internally and increase overall wellness. Life is beyond busy for all of us and demands our undivided attention, easily resulting in divided energies. Spending time with plant spirits, power animals, and crystal devs ground me and recalibrates my focus. The spirits speak in riddles, something I welcome as it demands that I am quiet and intentionally present – without which I would not be able to interpret their poetic words, gestures, and visual symbols into valuable advice. I use shamanic journeying as a tool, the spirits as a mere webbed interface; I do not require science to deem it as ‘real’ for me to trust it. As a recovering skeptic of anything on the ‘psychic’ plane, I am humbled and marvel at the accuracy of the messages. They are always imprinted with kindness, which vibrationally attunes me to experience more self-compassion, something I think most of us need. The world’s greedy belly incessantly urges to consume, to reach and to perfect; somehow I am quietened and gently cradled with an inner awareness that we are enough as we are, loved and radiantly beautiful, a mantra we resolve to practise, but too often doubt or forget.

And so returning to this initial connection between self-nourishment and beauty, spirit beings are so eager to help all of us, and being a shamanic practitioner, I am simply sharing their all-inclusive love and extend their invitation to tap into our own unknown through my entire work process.
