What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient form of healing found in cultures around the world.  A shamanic practitioner is the one who knows, the one who sees in the dark. At its heart, Shamanism is a deep understanding that everything is alive, that we are all connected with nature, the animal/spirit world and that healing often requires engaging with the spiritual roots of imbalance. Shamanic practices can involve the amplification of ones state of consciousness (often supported by rhythmic drumming & journeywork) to access guidance, insight and healing from the spiritual allies we can connect with through intention and trust in the wisdom of the unseen.

My Journey

My shamanic teacher is Martin Duffy who runs Shamanism Ireland in Dunderry Park, Co. Meath. Sharing a moment of gratitude for my teachers and to the people I have shared this shamanic training with. My shamanic training is deeply inspired by the psychology of Carl Jung whose insights bridge the psyche and the soul.  Jung’s understanding of the unconscious, archetypes, dreams and the process of individualization, offer a rich foundation for healing that honours the full complexity of being human. As I continue my training in transpersonal therapy, it deepens the layers of experience within the space I hold.  Connecting with the layers of experience through symbolic, ancestral and mystical practices, to emerge and be witnessed with compassion.     

An Irish shamanic practitioner in Ireland is a Druid.  Druidic traditions honour the land as sacred, the seasons as teachers, and the ancestors as part of our ongoing story. My life path and many years of exploring a variation of shamanic practices, I have been called to reconnect with the spiritual traditions of these lands. I was born and raised in Co.Meath, the ancient east of Ireland and have a strong connection with the sacred sites of this land.  This path informs my work with nature based rituals, seasonal cycles and connection to the more than human world. Shamanism is a way of remembering, of coming back into relationship with the earth, the old ways and the spirits that walk beside us, often unseen. 

My work is grounded in a deep reverence for the unseen, the soul, and the sacred web that connects all life. As a shamanic practitioner in ongoing training, and a student on the path toward becoming a transpersonal therapist, I draw from these core teachings that shape and support my practice. This work is alive — evolving as I grow, guided by integrity, curiosity, and continued study. Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, reconnection, or simply to be witnessed in your becoming, you are welcome here.
