Leah, what is a Shamanic Priestess?
Let me start off by letting you know that I do not claim to be a traditional Shaman, but if you must give me a name or a title, I am what you would call a Shamanic Priestess. I was initiated in the Shamanic tradition during my journeys with ecstatic and trance states, in the Priestess arts and through working with the Divine Feminine/Mother.

A Priestess is a woman who stands in spiritual leadership, and can best be described by Anyaa McAndrew from GoddessontheLoose.com:“A Shamanic Priestess knows and understands that Earth and all ordinary and extraordinary acts are sacred. She holds the wisdom of the connection between heaven and earth, and longs to express herself in the Temple of our lives.”My Mentor/Shima, Mellissa Seaman, was trained by Apache ceremonialist, Maria Yraceburu. Now, I would consider Mellissa and Maria Shaman’s. Mellissa originally opened me up to the power of Shamanic work, and offered me guidance and passed her knowledge to me. The rest was experienced through trainings and practicing and being open to receive guidance during trance states. Mellissa also initiated me into the HeartWisdom lineage of Priestesses. |

I have combined the Shamanic path with my other schooling /certificates in Holistic Healing, Energy Healing, BodyWork, Circle Facilitation, Life Coaching, breathwork and Kundalini Dance. And, at this point in my evolution as a healer and Priestess, I have integrated it all together with the help of my guides…. Wahlaaa…… Shamanic Healing Sessions
As a Shamanic Priestess, I am here to help you anchor new ways of living, healing and evolving in the world through Ceremonies and Ecstatic Shamanic States for Healing
I believe there are many ways to do this, and I also am kind of a rebel in that I do not follow a traditional pathway/method. I have found a way to incorporate traditional ways, and make them my own, something that works for me that’s what I share with you.
My wish for you is that you experience the gifts I have to give, take the gold out of it, and make it your own.
I am just me. Thank you for accepting me just the way that I am.
Aho!
