In the West we think of ourselves primarily as minds and bodies, but in traditional indigenous communities it is our etheric “souls” that define our experiences. Most of us have places where time has condensed around unresolved emotional issues of our past, creating energetic residue and emotional triggers that continually derail us. This generates energetic sludge that affects our overall health, and emotional blocks that keep us stuck in destructive pattering. For some these blocks have manifested themselves more deeply as disease and injury. For others we just know things are stuck or not working. Although the reason is often unclear, because we have deeply buried it, we do know we need to shift somehow.

This is where shamanic healing shines over other forms of healing. First, shamanic healing, as taught at ASC, involves learning how to hold someone safely as they journey to their innermost self. It utilizes intensive tracking skills, for locating the origin of wounds, and their resultant limited beliefs and coping mechanisms. It requires mastery of Andean energetic clearing and tuning techniques, and it also requires an understanding of how to effectively employ consciousness shifting techniques, with breath, for example, to release the fear based mind from its grip on its identification with its story. All together this is a healing modality that digs in deep and makes lasting and effective changes that change people’s lives.

• Do you have emotional triggers or limiting beliefs that take you completely off track?
• Do you have irrational fears, abundance issues, or feel "cursed"?
• Do you know something happened to you sometime in the past, something you can’t remember, and you need to heal from it before you can feel whole, but you don't know what it is, so you keep stumbling around it?
• Are you having trouble moving on from a relationship, or wanting one but not finding it? Perhaps you are in a relationship and it has issues. Perhaps you have issues with intimacy.
• Do you have an injury that will not heal, or a chronic illness?
• Do you feel blocked from your "calling" and unable to move forward into your potential?
• Do you have negative voices in your head that undermine your efforts, or make you loathe yourself?
• Do you feel plagued by chronic illnesses such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or others that keep you from reaching your true potential?
• Have you been diagnosed with a terminal illness that you feel may, or may not, be terminal but regardless, you need help healing?
• Do you need help coming to terms with the end of your life?
• Do you feel derailed by events in your life, and like a piece of you has been lost?
• Have you suffered a trauma you cannot seem to move past?
• Do you feel like you are broken and part of you is missing?
• Do you keep having the same kind of destructive or dysfunctional relationships, over and over?
• Are you finding it difficult to take the next steps that will advance your career?

We all fix the things that we can, but if our souls are wounded, all the affirmations, surgery, Reiki, and cognitive therapy work in the world cannot stop these dysfunctional patterns from reappearing. They are being run by unconscious programs that are sabotaging our efforts. Shamanic healing sessions are so effective because we help you shift out of your ordinary state of consciousness into one where you are more aware of your true self. Many traditional shamanic practices use psychedelic plants for this effect, but that process lasts several hours and without guidance, what comes up can be a crap shoot. In our 90 minute sessions we can focus on specific patterns and objectives, using breath work to shift consciousness, just as effectively, and the sessions are more efficient as they can be much more easily guided to the origin of your pattern.

All sessions start with meeting your soul and listening to where it says it is wounded. This is imprint removal. Whatever else is needed shows itself in the process of the session, as the soul shows us what it needs to heal. The direction we go, and the techniques we use, come through in the sessions. This is not something we can decide in advance. You may, or may not, need a soul retrieval, for example, but your soul still needs mending regardless of the other techniques used. Unlike a magic pill, this work does require your participation, as it is your soul asking for the healing. Techniques that may be used include, but are not limited to:

• Imprint Removal and Reset: (clearing of imprints from the soul or energy field, and all resultant unprocessed emotions and heavy energy -See Imprint article for more information) All sessions involve this step, we all have hundreds of imprints.
• Soul Retrieval: (retrieving and replacing parts of our soul lost in trauma or fear -See Soul Retrieval article for more information. Power animals are often a part of this process too, if appropriate)
• Inner Child Work: a lot of our wounding happens as children. The wounded child runs the show from the shadows until is it allowed to heal.
• Extractions: (removal of energies generated from shadow aspects of ourselves, past physical wounds, or from our interactions with others)
• Chord Cuttings: (cutting unhealthy cords to places and beings that eat away at our energy and/or keep us immobilized by conditional love)

It is important to note that we heal in layers, for to do all this work at once would blow our circuits. At ASC we go session by session, at your pace, and at your request.

A typical session consists of roughly:

• 30 minutes discussion and tracking of problem’s origin
• 40 minutes energy clearing and alignment work
• 20 minutes for re-framing and creating a healing map to go home with

This cannot be shortened into a smaller session, as this is generally the amount of time it takes to do the work properly. Most basic issues require 1-3 sessions done over a period of several weeks; more complex problems and serious diseases may require more sessions. Clients often say that one session cleared what they hadn't been able to clear in 15 years of therapy. Because we work at the level of the soul, and not just the mind, this work not only helps you see your issues, it can remove the triggers that keep you stuck and can help you reprogram both your brain and your patterns of behavior, eventually aligning you with whole new life trajectories, in some cases.

Because we are working at the energetic, sessions are equally effective in person as they are over the phone.

Cost: All sessions run roughly 60-90 minutes and cost $175 each. This fee is for the healer's time and expertise. The work of Spirit is, of course, always free. 

Booking a session: Session times, in general, are at Tuesdays-Fridays at 1:00 and 3:00 Central, and occasionally a 5:00 on those days, as scheduling permits. Please sign up with the form below to get a list of the current available openings!

All sessions are usually done at a private residence in Southwest Austin, or over the phone/zoom. Due to the constraints of COVID-19, however, they are all now currently done over the phone or zoom. This is because in person we are in a small residential space and we breathe together with our faces very near each other to help shift your consciousness. This is not something either of us can do effectively with a mask on, so it is best to have a computer or phone between us. Since space/time is not relevant in shamanic work we are just as effective in person as we are over the phone/zoom. We look forward to working with you!

"Thank you Christina, for your life-altering work. What we accomplished with only one meeting was far greater than I accomplished in 52 years of therapy combined! You are a blessing and a gift."
