Shamanic healing is a kind of ancient psychotherapy.
This sacred practice contains powerful tools
​ which can be used by modern therapists to effect profound healing. 

You feel called to heal: to mend inner wounds and spark renewed passion for life.
You want to treat people at their core so that results are rapid and enduring.
Shamanic healing is the answer.
"Through these shamanic journeys, I began to learn more than I ever thought possible. 
After years of therapy, yoga, meditation, going on and off of anti-depressants,
I finally learned how to heal."  ~ Joy

"These two sessions with you have done more for me than six months of therapy." ~ Katie

you can transform lives with these sacred healing techniques

​Shamanic healing creates rapid, effective transformation to heal inner wounds and spark renewed passion for life .  Rather than focusing on surface issues, shamanic healing is designed to ferret out and heal the root causes by using the shamanic journey to plunge into the deepest regions where the issue sprang to life.  With the root causes healed, surface issues often resolve with no further effort.  

Moreover, as false beliefs are unraveled and stagnant energy released at these deep levels, the person becomes more aligned with the truest nature of the self or the Soul.  With the clouds removed, unique gifts shine through along with a renewed passion for life.  

 Powerful healing indeed.  ​

the shamanic journey as the gateway to healing

The practitioner guides the client into the shamanic journey, resulting in a more relaxed, altered state much like hypnosis.  With the practitioner as the facilitator within the shamanic journey, the client:
  • Has Direct Access to the Source or Cause of the Issue
  • Has Direct Access to Spiritual Assistance from Personal Guides and Teachers
  • Can Explore and Heal the Relationship to Self, Others, and Spirit
  • Can Explore and Heal False Beliefs about the Self, Life, and Spirit
  • Practices Implementing New Insights

the results of shamanic healing

With root causes healed, results can be remarkable and include:
  • Wholeness and Inner Peace (Rather than Inner Conflict)
  • Decreased Anxiety and Depression
  • Increased Well-Being
  • Deepening Connection and Alignment with the Soul or the Truest Self
  • Expressing the Soul's Unique Gifts 
  • Deepening Connection to the Earth Mother and to Spirit

Still not sure?  
​Experience Shamanic Healing for yourself in an Individual Session!!
You may feel intrigued by the idea of learning Shamanic Healing, but even after reading about the two training options above, you may pause.  Perhaps you're interested in (and eligible for) the 6-day Advanced Training, but know nothing about shamanism and so you hesitate.   Or perhaps you're definitely interested in Shamanic Healing and know you want comprehensive training like the Apprenticeship from someone, but you have no idea about this method and the facilitator.  

​The best way to evaluate whether the training is right for you is to experience a Shamanic Healing session yourself.  Doing so will give you a clear idea of how the healing works, along with its power and efficacy.  Simultaneously, you'll have a better sense of the facilitator as well.  The session cost (160 for 1.5 hours) is fractional compared to the trainings and much of that cost may be covered by your insurance!!  To schedule a healing session, please use the contact info at the bottom of the page or simply click the button to send an email directly to Dr. Selena Whittle.  More information on sessions may be found here.  ​To see what others have said about these powerful healing sessions, scroll down!

​"The healing process I experienced and learned through Selena was transformative and unlike any therapy I have ever done.  The journey took me inside to my core beliefs where, with Selena's gentle intuitive guidance, I was finally able to allow understanding and healing to begin.  It was a magical, peaceful, challenging and, at times, even wild odyssey that forever changed my way of living, loving and viewing the world.  It works."​
