A shamanic practice
Shamanism is the world’s most ancient spiritual practice. For more than 40,000 years, our ancestors used shamanic methods to seek spiritual power and wisdom. They did so to bring healing, knowledge and practical wisdom to their community. “Shaman” (SHAH-mahn), from a Siberian tribal word, refers to a person who is …

Divination – to divine knowledge from helping spirits on behalf of others – is one of a shamanic practitioner’s most important roles. This knowledge reveals answers, guidance and hidden truths to the seeker.
I use shamanic journeying and several divination tools, including natural objects and oracle or tarot cards to convey messages to the seeker from the Spirit World.
If you are looking for guidance and meaning in challenging times, ask a clear question with intention. Intention is the backbone of good divination work. Seekers can only ask questions about themselves. They must frame their questions carefully and with focus. I can help you to create a question with clear intention.
Messages from the Spirit World may be simple and easily understood, offering practical advice. Often, the answers are metaphorical and take a while to figure out. Their messages may have a profound impact on your life or tell yo what you don’t expect to hear. Anything is possible.
Shamanic divination does not predict the future or provide a “forever” answer. Answers to questions and messages pertain only to you at this moment – in the here and now.
We can interact in person by e-mail, messenger, telephone or online (FaceTime or Skype). Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca for more information.
Soul retrieval is a powerful spiritual practice that heals soul loss.
Life changes and traumatic events impact your soul. These experiences can frighten or cause parts of your spiritual essence to slip away. They flee to survive and escape the full impact of a painful experience.
What is traumatic event? Whatever you view as traumatic – the stress of accident, loss of a loved one, a parent’s misplaced criticism, a bully’s abuse and more. You may feel that a part of your true self is missing. And, you don’t feel entirely whole. Often, people continue to recreate behaviours or have unhealthy relationships that mirror the missing parts of their soul. Shamanic cultures considered soul loss as a spiritual illness. Soul fragmentation diminishes the spiritual energy or life force within us, leading to emotional, physical and mental stress.
If you need this powerful healing, I will journey to the Spirit World to find missing pieces of your soul to return to your body.
Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca to explain why you are interested in soul retrieval. If my spirit guides agree that you need this spiritual healing, we will schedule a meeting at my studio in suburban Montreal. I do not perform soul retrievals at this time. Soul retrieval and “Welcome Home” integration journeys usually last 60 to 90 minutes.
During a shamanic extraction, I work with helping spirits to remove any energy from your body that does not belong. This misplaced energy is known as an intrusion.
Energy intrusions come from inside and outside sources. Externally, you might absorb emotions projected in your direction – someone’s sadness or anger. On the other hand, you might internalize stress at work or when dealing with a personal or family crisis. These emotions intrude on your spiritual wellbeing. The body remembers and stores them. Shamans believe that such energy intrusions may cause physical illness.
Extraction ceremonies are powerful ways to release energy intrusions that weigh you down. During this ceremony, the shamanic practitioner merges with a helping spirit. This spirit reveals any energy that does not belong and extracts it.
If you’re interested in finding out, I will consult my helping spirits on your behalf. Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca to explore the possibility. If you need this spiritual healing, I will schedule a one-on-one appointment in the suburban Montreal area. I do not perform remote extractions. Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes.
Power animal retrieval connects you with a helping spirit in animal form. During this ceremony, the shamanic practitioner journeys to the Spirit World to find your power animal and bring it back to you.
Shamans believe that a deep connection to your power animal benefits your spiritual health and well being. A power animal supports and protects you. When a power animal shares its power with you, it shields you from negative energy.
People may lose power, give it away or have it stolen. As a result, they feel powerless, stuck and/or lose enthusiasm. Job loss, relationship breakdowns, a health crisis and other problems can rob you of power. Shamans believe that a primary cause of illness is loss of power.
Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca for power animal retrieval. I will consult my spirit guides, and if they agree that you are in need of this spiritual healing, I will schedule a one-on-one appointment in the suburban Montreal area. At this time, I do not perform remote retrievals. Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes.
Shamans possess the ability to translate and apply wisdom from The Spirit World to help you to create real change in the physical world.

Core shamanism is not a religion; it’s a methodology or set of ancient tools that enable anyone to access non-ordinary reality. The use of repetitive sounds or motions – drums, rattles or dancing – enables any seeker to enter a trance-like state and journey within to access “non-ordinary” reality – the Spirit World. Core shamanism adapts the universal features of shamanism to help people solve problems in modern life. Anyone can learn:
