The Apprenticeship
Blended Format -
Online Learning with Biannual Retreats
Leads to Certification as a:
​Master Shamanic Healer
Picture
This blended online format of combining online classes with biannual retreats allows you to begin your private shamanic healing practice after only 10-12 months of training! 

The entire Apprenticeship program is a two-year training designed to provide in-depth mastery of shamanic healing.  During the first few months of training, you'll be gathering mystical and spiritual knowledge, even as you are actively engaged in your own personal healing and in observing the healing of others.  You'll also be learning basic practitioner skills as well as shamanic healing skills.  

After only 10-12 months, you begin to work with others in shamanic healing, while continuing your training.  As you continue your own healing process and witnessing the healing of others, you learn how to do past-life healing with others, work with plant spirits, and conduct shamanic ceremonies.  During this second year, classes include case study discussion and supervision to support you in your healing practice.  The culmination of the training is a 6-day Vision Quest.  
More about Shamanic Healing

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.  ​

​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!
