Ongoing Shamanic Healing
What is Shamanic Healing?
Cultures all over the world use trance states to mediate between the seen and unseen realms: autohypnotic states are invoked through means of drumming, dancing, plant medicine, meditation, visualization, chanting, etc.
​
We use some of these shamanic-based practices and technologies in our work together. We like the word shamanic, but we do not claim to have the training or initiation to call ourselves shamans.

What Can I Expect in a Shamanic Healing Session?
We have been blessed to have many wonderful teachers in shamanic modalities stemming from Native American, Vedic, Jewish, Buddhist, Amazonian, and Taoist origins.
These traditions all share a deep connection to the body, the natural world, and the seen and unseen beings who are always available to help us. Oftentimes in our work, we will allow for invisible helpers to appear: this may be someone who has passed, an imaginal being that seems to come from inside or outside of you, or a spirit guide.​
​
Sometimes we will feel the presence in the room or in your body, a presence that may be exactly attuned to you and your needs.
​
We may also work with inner parts: inner children, inner critics, demons, allies, a depressed part, an addict part, etc., envisioning them sitting in the room with us and allowing them to speak with us.
​
We take a spiritual-but-not-religious view of this work: getting in touch with unconscious forces of healing is available to all of us and doesn't need to be separate from our psychological process.

SHAMANIC OFFERINGS
Ongoing Healing
We integrate transpersonal practices into our body-based counseling. We find that these modalities work wonderfully together: through going deeply into the body and our personal history, we can more easily access that which is beyond our individual identity.
TESTIMONIALS
Emma is wise, warm and insightful, and creates such a beautifully welcoming and safe space to engage in a healing process. She embodies the kind of loving presence that allows me to feel seen, heard and safe with her - both over Zoom and in person. She is an absolute gift and I can honestly and enthusiastically recommend Emma to anyone who is seeking to heal and grow.

The work that Dara and I did together drastically improved my quality of life. I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression that were preventing me from functioning. Shortly after the first session, I gained insight into past traumas and began to consciously let go of the remnants that were weighing me down.
​
The release had begun subconsciously, no doubt, during the first session. The subsequent sessions were no less effective at accelerating the healing process. In a short period of time, my anxiety and depression have subsided, I have reconnected with myself and my surroundings and have reached a functional state.
​
These things would not have happened without Dara. She is a healer. Her intuition and approach are incredibly effective. I highly recommend Dara’s work!
