About us

Shamans Directory belongs to all of us. We are more than a directory, we are a movement with a mission to bring the ancient, earth-based wisdom and healing practices of shamanism to our modern world. We are here to facilitate a gathering place where all shamanic healers and teachers from around the world can come together to uplift one another, expand our healing capacities, and offer increased access to people who seek our healing. We recognize that shamanic medicine is imperative if we are to remember our true nature, and co-exist in right relationship with the earth and all living things.

Shamans Directory is a nonprofit organization (pending 501c3 status) dedicated to elevating, preserving and promoting all of the world’s shamanic earth-based traditions from communities of first-nation and original people to evolving modern practices. We are not allied with any specific tribes or nations, teachers or trainings, all are welcome. We are devoted to providing easy access to shamanic healing, and to creating a warm and inviting environment where shamanic healers and teachers can deepen their practice as a part of a global, empowered, conscious community.

Shamans Directory is guided and directed by Spirit. The ‘One fire, One medicine’ vision is a response to the prophecy of elders from around the world that has resounded across our planet for generations; the prophecy that the people of the Earth and our precious planet will only be healed when we gather again around one fire and offer our collective medicine. At Shamans Directory, we see the beauty of our individual and collective wisdom as something to be celebrated and shared. Each of us has unique and critical medicine. From healing nations to being kind to your neighbor - each piece is intrinsic to the whole. It is time to bring our medicine together as one offering. We acknowledge that humanity needs our collective medicine now more than ever for global healing and awakening. Every ounce of our medicine (yes, from each and every one of us) is needed, and it is needed now.

Our response to the prophecy has, and continues to be carefully, impeccably and thoughtfully considered, after many conversations and across the continents. At this time on earth, the gifts of technology have connected us all in ways that were never before imagined. In order for all who need healing to find us, we must be clear and direct. The name, Shamans Directory bridges the ancient, sacred and mystical arts of shamanic earth-based healing with the directional, straightforward and literal structure of a professional modern directory. Whether you call yourself a medicine person, a ceremonialist, a shamanic practitioner, a healer or teacher of the sacred arts, a priest or priestess, a forest witch, or a shaman, we hope that you will step into the dream and join us. It is time to gather. We have a big job ahead of us — and ‘together’ is how we will accomplish it.

Anja’s interest in ancient wisdom and alternative healing modalities began with acupuncture and the concept of the relationship of body, mind and soul in traditional Chinese medicine. This ignited a passion within her to live in alignment with her natural gifts. Further exploration ultimately led her to IceWisdom, and her teacher and mentor, Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, who gave her the name Assagiarsuk. This is "the one with many hands that can touch very deeply.”  The many arms are a great strength for her - like the arms of the octopus, which can bring a lot to the surface at once. In her private practice, Anja’s goal is that everyone finds the place where they can best develop their potential. When she is not working with clients, or teaching children, you will find her traveling with Angaangaq. His message, “Never close the door again" to the shamanic world - it is wonderful.

During my career of 35 years as addiction and trauma specialist, I belonged to several professional directories, virtually eliminating the need for marketing.

As a person deeply connected to Spirit I have been guided to many healing modalities. I am a certified yoga and meditation instructor, an Angelic Reiki practitioner, Usui Reiki Master, and Shamanic energy healer; most recently, pursuing my love of music and sacred sound, as a sound healer. Being a mother and a wife has taught me to grow and love in more ways that I ever thought possible. My mission is to be that love, to be of service, and to offer my gifts for the healing of our planet. I am honored and excited to be a part of the Shamans Directory Registration team. I look forward to supporting our members, and to promoting wellness, mindfulness, and awakening.

Trained as an Art mediator and Color designer in Architecture, my journey over the last 25 years led me to the study and practice of Feng Shui, Space and Personal Clearing, and Shamanic Energy Medicine bringing together environmental and personal energy fields. Today, in my healing practice I focus on Space and Personal Clearing, a gentle but powerful process based on the Buddhist Teachings of mindfulness, non-attachment, non-doing, and acceptance in order to help bring balance and harmony back to space and people. A member of the Registration Team, it is my great pleasure to support Shamans Directory as a unique and unifying community of energy healers from all cultures, all over the world.

I come from a lineage that repressed its intuitive gifts for centuries. I know what it’s like to feel ashamed of your sensitivity. After walking through the portal of change more times than I can count, I also know what it’s like to celebrate these gifts – and to feel fueled by them. I am grateful for my path: it led me to find my own way, and building a potent yet accessible toolkit that I love sharing with my clients. I blend coaching and shamanic energy medicine to ignite the magic in others, so they can meet their own change with wide-eyed wonder. Heading up the Calendar Team, I am deeply inspired by Shamans Directory, and its capacity to empower and connect energy healers.

Born in Zimbabwe, with Asian roots, I now live in New Zealand. My own questions around identity led me down a path of curiosity and integration. While my Grandmother facilitated healing in more traditional ways, my journey emphasizes the connection of traditional and contemporary, light and dense, internal and external worlds. Holding these dualities respectfully, lightly, and compassionately within myself is what led me to join the Tech Team here at Shamans Directory and to assist in bringing the world of shamanism to life virtually.

As a child, I was deeply connected to the spirits and beings in nature. This led me to choose a healing profession, psychology. My work professionally, in global strategic marketing, gifted me with different cultures and transformation. Several life-changing events led me to pursue the ancient healing modalities of stone healing, herbal medicine, and shamanism, which lit the fire within me. I believe that  life is a conscious co-creation and I am here to assist people on their healing journeys. The ‘One fire, One medicine’ vision of Shamans Directory deeply resonates with me. I am here to support the Directory as a member of the Social Media Team - and wherever else I can be of service.

I was born in Perú and grew up living in various parts of the Americas, Europe and Africa. I am thankful for the opportunity this gave me to be connected to various cultures around the world.  After the unraveling of my marriage due to the siphoning force of addiction, the year 2020 gave me the opportunity to reconnect to my Peruvian roots and find healing. Through The Four Winds Society I became a certified shamanic energy medicine practitioner and after a 20-year career in the New York City art world, I am happy to now be devoting time to developing my practice. I feel honored to be a part of the Shaman’s Directory, and I look forward to welcoming you via the New Member Support team.

I have always longed to be of service, and as a healer, Shamanism has given me that outlet. On my path, I have trained with many healers and teachers, and I will continue to do so. Finding the right healer to support you during your sacred journey is very important. Shaman’s Directory puts access to finding the right healers and teachers at your fingertips. Shamanic healing has created miracles in my life and I am here at Shamans Directory to bring that gift to others.

I was born to a deeply spiritual family in Colombia, trained as a Psychologist and moved to the States many years ago. An almost fatal car crash while still in Colombia intensified my longing for something deeper and sacred, for something that I felt in my heart was waiting for. A number of “Divine Interventions” led me to work in the addictions and trauma fields, and to the training and practice of Magnified Healing, Reiki and Shamanic Energy Medicine. As a Member of Shamans Directory Member Support Team I believe that we will create bridges for peace, healing, compassion and understanding among the nations of Earth.

My name is the Woman Who Breathes with the Singing Waters at the North Door. I am Algonquin, Metis and Polish. I am Bear and Buffalo Clan. My Spirit Colors are Blue, Yellow and White. I have always had an innate belief that the world is love. I have always walked closely with Great Spirit, wherever that led me. After 14 years in the social work field, providing Trauma Informed Solutions to diverse populations, internationally and in Canada, I returned to walk the Red Road and study shamanism. This has taken me on the most beautiful journey including the privilege to teach others the Red Road. My life has forever changed in the best possible ways, by witnessing others remember their medicine. As an Indigenous Woman, I believe in the prophecies of the 8th fire. I believe that we are in a time where it is important to share our medicines with others and so, I am so delighted to be responding to the call to the Sacred Fire as a part of the Shamans Directory Team. Chi Miigwetch!

As an English teacher, I have spent my career working to help others find and nurture their voices, even as my own voice as a medicine woman was swallowed up. Five years ago I began the journey of recognizing and expressing my deep love for Mother Earth (whom I call  Pachamama) and the medicine she has given me to share with others. Since then I have developed my gifts of channeling and healing to serve others in her honor. As a member of the Calendar Team here at Shamans Directory, I welcome you with great joy to a platform designed specifically to gather the voices and offerings of those who bear medicine gifts and share them around the fire.

I am a lifelong intuitive, seer, feeler, and healer with 20 years in private practice. I come from a long line of intuitive women and healers, although I am the first of many generations to practice openly. In my quest to embrace and embody my spiritual gifts, I came to understand how my abilities, combined with my love of, and connection to, the earth and all her creatures could bring powerful healing to others. I am honored to be a part of the Shamans Directory Membership Support Team as I believe that the world will be healed by shamans.

A clinical psychologist by training, I have coached adults and facilitated trauma and stress reduction workshops for children and adults around the world. I have always been interested in modern-day and indigenous sciences, and I have extensively studied subtle energy and healing modalities. I believe that lasting change comes from taking all levels of existence into account: physical, emotional, and spiritual, to clear blocks and  access higher, more joyful states of consciousness. Shamanism addresses all of these levels. “It takes a village”and in this case it will take a Global Village to restore balance to our world. I feel blessed to be a part of this global village as a member of the Shamans Directory Member Support Team.

ONE FIRE. ONE MEDICINE.
