Shamanism in Palm Springs
Growing up, I associated shamanism with Native Americans, drumming, and burning sage. Given my Celtic ancestry, lack of rhythm, and allergy to sage smoke, my career prospects as a shaman appeared dim. Then, in college, I realized shamanism exists all over the world, and in diverse cultures.![]() |

I was already a Reiki Master when the opportunity manifested
to learn shamanism from a hereditary shaman from El Salvador. She taught me the
shamanic arts and so much more. A shaman is an intermediary between the mundane
world and the spirit world. I treat the soul. And the soul exists in the past,
present, and future. To heal someone’s soul or life force, I may have to
journey through time and space, and navigate non-ordinary realms and
dimensions.
