Southwest Shamanic Connection

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice based on animism,

the belief that everything has a soul, a piece of the greater Spirit that connects us all.

Awareness of and healing for our soul can have profound effects on the body and mind.

Sylvotherapy Sessions

I am certified to offer 1-1 and group sylvotherapy sessions, where we focus on reconnecting to our inner nature through the beauty, generosity, medicine, and wisdom of outer nature, especially the trees and plants in a forest.  My local ally is the Santa Fe National Forest, stretching from Santa Fe to Pecos, NM.

Healing Process

The triad of healing includes:  1) the body, 2) the mind, and 3) the soul.  Seeking and studying this spiritual healing practice that dates back over 100,000 years is everyone’s birthright.  We all had ancestors who let the Spirits of Nature teach them ways that healed, informed, and guided entire villages.

What Clients Say

“[Ash’s article] delves into how shamanic traditions view illness, seeing it as disruption in the body’s energy or spiritual imbalance.  It explores alternative healing methods and how integrating shamanic wisdom can offer profound insights into both physical and emotional recovery."

-Brainz Magazine, Sweden
