Shamanic Healing
The first doctors in human history were shamanic practitioners. They healed from the heart and for the heart.

According to anthropologist and psychiatrist, Dr. Roger Walsh, shamanism is "a family of traditions whose practitioners focus on voluntarily entering altered states of consciousness in which they experience themselves or their spirit(s) interacting with other entities, often by traveling to other realms, in order to serve their community." Shamanic healing is an art and skill that has existed since the earliest traditions of humankind, and can be found in any culture. It is not exlcusive to any one group of people, and its modalities are as varying as colors in a rainbow. Both Autumn and Daniel are trained in many shamanic skillsets, but primarily work with a mesa: a shamanic altar designed for transformative healing for the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels of being.
Shamanic healing is the oldest technique of healing body, mind, and spirit known to humankind. An integral component of human history, it is the most intuitive and natural form of medicine practice. Shamanic healing involves tapping into the unseen powers of the natural world in order to facilitate wellness for the individual and community.

-
