Reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve lost.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking…

“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

Perhaps you’ve been through loss, burnout, grief, trauma, divorce, illness, or years of putting everyone else’s needs before your own.

You function.
You cope.
You keep going.

But somewhere along the way, you’ve lost your spark.

Your joy feels distant.
Your confidence has faded.
Life feels flat, heavy, or disconnected.

You know something needs to change, but insight alone hasn’t been enough.

This is where Soul Retrieval can help.

What is Soul Retrieval?

In many shamanic traditions, it’s understood that during times of overwhelming stress, trauma, or significant life events, parts of ourselves can withdraw as a way of protecting us.

It’s not that your soul literally leaves your body.

Rather, you can become disconnected from qualities that once made you feel fully alive; your joy, confidence, creativity, vitality, voice, or sense of belonging.

Soul Retrieval is a gentle shamanic healing practice that helps restore connection with those lost parts of yourself.

It isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering who you’ve always been.

When we reconnect with ourselves, life begins to change naturally. We make different choices. We relate differently. We stop living from survival and begin living from wholeness.

What happens during a Soul Retrieval?

Before we meet, you’ll complete a short questionnaire to help me understand your story and your intention for the session.

During our 90-minute online session, I journey on your behalf using traditional shamanic practices while holding your intention at the centre of the work.

I’ll then share everything that arose during the journey, the parts of yourself that returned, the messages that came through, and what they may mean for your life today.

Together we’ll explore how to gently integrate these insights into your everyday life so that the healing continues long after the session has ended.

Your Soul Retrieval Includes

✔ A 90-minute online Soul Retrieval session via Zoom

✔ A recording of your session

✔ Written notes and reflections

✔ A 30-minute follow-up integration call approximately one week later

✔ WhatsApp support between your session and follow-up should you need guidance or reassurance

Because healing doesn’t end when the session finishes.

Integration is where transformation begins.

Is Soul Retrieval right for me?

Soul Retrieval may be supportive if you:

  • Feel disconnected from yourself or your purpose.
  • Keep repeating the same emotional or relationship patterns.
  • Have experienced trauma, grief, burnout, or a significant life transition.
  • Feel emotionally numb or exhausted.
  • Feel as though you’ve lost your confidence, joy, or sense of who you are.
  • Know something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong.

You simply need to know that you don’t want to keep living the way you are.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Soul Retrieval?

Soul Retrieval is a shamanic healing practice based on the understanding that during times of trauma, grief, or significant life events we can become disconnected from parts of ourselves that hold qualities such as joy, confidence, vitality, creativity, and belonging.

The work gently supports reconnecting with those parts so you can experience a greater sense of wholeness and move forward with more ease.

Do I need to believe in shamanism?

Not at all.

Soul Retrieval isn’t about adopting a belief system.

Some people understand the work spiritually, while others experience it as a powerful symbolic or psychological process.

You don’t need to believe anything for the work to be meaningful.

Curiosity is enough.

How does an online session work?

Our session takes place over Zoom from the comfort of your own home.

After we’ve spoken about your intention, you’ll simply relax while I journey on your behalf using rhythmic drumming.

Once the journey is complete, I’ll share everything that arose before we explore together how it relates to your life and how to integrate the healing.

Many people are surprised by how powerful online sessions can be.

Is Soul Retrieval safe?

Yes.

I work gently, collaboratively, and with great respect for your nervous system.

This isn’t about reliving trauma or forcing emotional breakthroughs.

It’s about creating a safe space where healing can unfold at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

Is Soul Retrieval the same as therapy?

No.

Soul Retrieval isn’t psychotherapy, although many people find it deeply therapeutic.

It complements therapy beautifully and can also support people who are looking for a different way of understanding themselves.

My role isn’t to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, but to facilitate reconnection, insight, and integration through shamanic practice.

What if I’m not sure this is what I need?

You don’t need to decide before we speak.

That’s what the Discovery Call is for.

We’ll explore what’s been happening in your life and I’ll recommend the approach I believe will best support you—whether that’s Soul Retrieval, Family Constellations, coaching, or another path entirely.

My role isn’t to sell you a session.

My role is to help you find the path that’s right for you.

Conscious Femininity Coach & Shamanic Guide

I work primarily with mid-life women who are intelligent, capable and emotionally aware, yet quietly exhausted from holding it all together.

Women who sense that there is more to life than merely coping and surviving.

Women who are ready to soften, slow down and live from embodied truth.
