Testimonials

Experiences from my clients

Many people who consider shamanic work feel both curious and cautious. It’s natural to want to understand what the experience is like before beginning.

The reflections below come from individuals who have worked with me through shamanic healing, soul retrieval, and mentoring over the years. Each person came to the work with their own challenges, questions, and patterns they were ready to address.

While every healing journey is unique, these experiences offer a glimpse into the kind of shifts that can occur when we work at the emotional, energetic, and mythic levels of the self.

You may recognize pieces of your own experience in their words.

  • Getting to the root

    "I stumbled upon Elaine and her work more than 10 years ago when I was looking for resources on being an empath. I'm so grateful for her because she has been a steadying force throughout my journey of healing and self-discovery. Elaine has a really sweet and loving yet grounded energy, which acts as a soothing balm while she guides you through the deepest and most transformative work. I highly recommend her if you're ready to get to the root of what's troubling you through shamanic work. The shifts are subtle but profound -- when the energetic root of an issue is cleared out, I struggle to remember what it was I was once so bothered by. She is the real deal! "

  • Physical symptoms

    “I have used shamanic guidance in instances where I feel like I need extra help figuring out what is going on in my life. For example, I once had a medically unusual sudden onset of a condition that was similar to frozen shoulder and extremely painful that I clearly felt was not related to what I was experiencing in this lifetime, so Elaine was very helpful connecting me to energies that I was holding onto and that indeed were related to my ancestors. Not only did I get an explanation of what was causing this incredibly painful condition, but also clear steps toward resolution of the problem. As it often happens, this was not only about resolving a physical symptom, but also about changing something in my understanding of myself and my life’s purpose. Elaine is very knowledgeable in the art of healing, which in combination with her compassion, has led me towards great healing. She has also held my hand through email coaching a few times, when I felt overwhelmed by certain life situations: such as a serious illness of my son or a complicated relationship with a colleague. “

  • Safe Environment

    “Working with Elaine has helped me gain a deeper understanding of my early life and how it formed an unconscious programming that led me to hold myself back from the life I truly wanted. Elaine’s total lack of judgment and relationship with shamanic guides and allies creates a powerful and safe environment where you can look at what are sometimes uncomfortable truths and feel supported in changing things for the better.”

  • Healing Past Trauma

    “Elaine is a powerful shaman who helped me see the bigger picture of what I was creating in my life and why. She guided me to a place within myself where I had the power to heal past trauma and hold myself accountable. Shadow work can feel uncomfortable because we’re looking at what’s hidden or what we’re afraid to acknowledge. Elaine creates a safe and sacred space for anyone interested in transforming their relationship with themselves and creating a healthier, happier and more empowered life.”

  • Navigating The Subconcious

    “Over the years, Elaine has been a trusted guide for me in navigating the subconscious mind using her shamanic skills and knowledge. The sessions are both fun and insightful, as is the follow-up work and the revelations that follow. I highly recommend Elaine to anyone interested in doing the spiritual work of self-exploration and self-integration at the soul level.”

  • Back to Self in Relationship

    “Elaine, I wanted to thank you for the tremendous coaching. Your spirit is so light-hearted and yet has a great depth to it. I felt heard and appreciated on so many levels, as well as moved along down my path in a loving, gentle way. Your deft guidance (guiding me back to myself!) in the area of relationships was especially meaningful to me. I thank you for the opportunity to have you as a coach! love — JS

  • Better Quality of Life

    “Elaine is a wonderful life coach. Since I started taking sessions with her, my progress towards my goals has accelerated a hundred-fold. She guided me to unleash my full potential, and put it into action. She helped me discover things about myself I never knew. I had thoughts and beliefs of which I was not aware. With her gentle prompting I was able to review and use those thoughts to my advantage to transform my thinking and therefore my actions, and with that my life. She is caring and thoughtful. With her careful and specific line of questioning, she helped me focus on the obstacles I had created and eradicate them with laser like precision. I would recommend Elaine to anyone who wants a better quality of life. I'm happier now than I've ever been.” — M. B.
