Do you ever feel like a part of you is missing? Or that you don’t really belong here? Maybe you’ve gone through an experience that’s left you feeling disconnected, empty or not quite like your old self. Shamanic traditions describe this as soul loss; when a part of your vital energy or essence steps away in times of stress, grief or life challenges. Soul loss is essentially a protection mechanism for the most vulnerable parts of yourself, but left unhealed it can make life feel difficult and tough to navigate.
Whilst talk therapy is one option to process big, and not always welcome, life changes, shamanic healing is another that beautifully complements more mainstream modalities. The parts of your vital essence that have been fragmented by both ‘big T’ and ‘little t’ trauma can be called back home to you through a beautiful and powerful practice known as soul retrieval.
What is Soul Retrieval?
Soul retrieval is an ancient healing ceremony found in cultures across the world. In this practice, a shaman (that’s me) journeys into the unseen realms (usually the Lower World) to find and return the “lost” pieces of your soul. The soul parts are often connected to your joy, vitality, creativity or sense of purpose.
Shamanic teachers like Sandra Ingerman and Alberto Villoldo, as well as my own Shamanic mentor Shannan Knox, have shared how profound this process can be. By bringing soul parts back, we invite more energy, clarity and wholeness into everyday life. Many people describe feeling more present, more alive and more aligned after a session.
Why Might Someone Seek Soul Retrieval?
You might be drawn to soul retrieval if you’ve noticed:
- A lingering sense of emptiness or disconnection
- Repeating life challenges or patterns you can’t quite shift
- A feeling that something is ‘missing’ but you can’t pinpoint what
- Difficulty moving forward after a loss or big change
Soul retrieval isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you, it’s about bringing back the full essence of who you already are and restoring your sense of wholeness.
What Happens in a Soul Retrieval Session?
Every session is unique, but here’s a gentle outline of what you can expect:
1. We begin with conversation to set your intention and open sacred space
2. I journey on your behalf into non-ordinary reality to locate the parts of your soul that are ready to return
3. The soul parts are welcomed back, often with gifts, wisdom or guidance for you
4. We integrate the healing so you can reconnect with these aspects of yourself in a grounded, supported way
Soul retrievals can be done virtually or in-person – energy knows no boundaries and both ways are equally powerful.

I bring warmth, compassion and deep respect to every session. My role is to hold safe, sacred space for you to reconnect with the wholeness of your being and help you heal the parts of you that are lost.
