What is Shamanism?
Learning to see in the dark
Shamanism is one of the oldest healing practices in the world, dating back over 30,000 years. It is an ancient spiritual practice that views the Earth and all that resides within as sacred. It’s rooted in the belief that everything- plants, animals, soil, and even the wind- carries its own consciousness and wisdom. By honouring this connection, Shamanism helps us feel deeply grounded and aligned with the natural world.
​
At its heart, Shamanism is also about exploring the unseen. Translated from Siberian Tungus, it means "the one who sees in the dark". Shamans work within "non-ordinary realms" which are spiritual spaces beyond what we typically see and feel; similar to working in a lucid dream-like state or meditative state. These realms hold guidance, healing, and clarity, helping to uncover parts of the soul that may feel lost or disconnected.
​
Through Shamanic healing, you can reconnect with your true self, release what no longer serves you, and find balance and clarity. It’s a practice that brings deep transformation, offering you a sacred path back to wholeness.
Your Shamanic Guide
Hi!
I’m Sydney, a Shamanic Healer, Soul Alignment Coach, and Psychic Medium. My journey to this path has been anything but ordinary- woven with threads of self-discovery, deep healing, and a love for connecting the seen and unseen worlds.
My Healing Journey
For most of my life, I felt like something was missing- like I was here, but not fully home within myself. I carried invisible weight: constant anxiety, severe depression, unresolved trauma, and a soul-deep exhaustion I couldn’t name.
At times, it felt like I was surviving in a world that asked me to smile through my suffering, to keep performing while I quietly unraveled.
​
I tried doing everything “right”; therapy, coping tools, pushing through. But no matter how hard I worked to manage my symptoms, I still felt disconnected. Restless. Like I was living a life that didn’t belong to me.
​
Eventually, I stopped asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and started asking, “What’s missing?”
Breakdown to Breakthrough
That question led me down an unknowingly magical path of energy healing, intuitive practices, and eventually, to Shamanism.
It was through Earth-based ritual, ancestral connection, and soul work that something shifted.
I realized I wasn’t broken, I was holding pain that was never meant to be carried alone.
​
But healing didn’t arrive in a neat and perfect bow.
It came in waves. In spirals. In the messy, sacred work of facing what I’d long buried. Moments of deep clarity followed by resurfaced wounds. Bursts of light followed by silence.
I began soul retrievals. Shadow work. Ceremony.
I didn’t just study healing- I lived it.
​
The turning point came when I stopped trying to “fix” myself and began to listen. To my body. To the Earth. To the whispers of Spirit I had once tuned out.
The work got deeper. So did my roots.
​
That journey expanded profoundly during my in-person Shamanic Practitioner Training in Scotland. The mist, the stones, the land itself held me. I wasn’t just learning- I was being remembered.
And in that remembering… I came home to myself.
Not through force.
But through ritual.
Through rhythm.
Through return.
From Healing to Holding
Today, I bring the medicine of my own becoming- the dark nights, the awakenings, the sacred returns- into every space I hold.
To me, this work isn't just theoretical, it's lived. Felt. Carried in my bones and offered with open hands.
​
Through Shamanic Healing, Soul Alignment Coaching, and Psychic Divination, I guide women back to the places within themselves that have gone quiet; body, rhythm, truth, and trust.
​
Whether you're seeking clarity, deep healing, or a return to your own sacred rhythm, you don’t have to walk this path alone.
I’m here to hold space for your remembering.
For your rising.
For your return.
The Heart of the Work
This isn’t just about healing. It’s about helping you remember what’s always been true; that your soul holds wisdom, rhythm, and resilience deeper than any chaos you’ve been through.
​
I know how it feels to be lost in the noise. To carry pain no one else can see. To wonder if things will ever feel okay again. Shamanism became the bridge between my pain and my purpose- not because it offered quick answers, but because it helped me return to something ancient and sacred within me. And that’s what I offer now:
A return to self. A soft place to land. A path back to the wild, wise voice inside you that never left.
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are not too much. You are powerful. Whole. And ready.
If your soul is calling, I’d be honoured to walk beside you- through the shedding, the remembering, and the becoming. This is your homecoming.
