Are you suffering from an ailment or illness that will not shift by conventional means alone? Are you struggling with difficult emotions, recurring dreams, or negative patterns that keep repeating and aren’t responding to psychotherapy and self-help? Shamanic healing can help to get to root by working on a spiritual level.

During a shamanic healing we will enter a shamanic state of consciousness with the aid of drum, rattle and voice. This will enable us to connect with our helping spirits – the true healers who will be doing the work. Some healings will focus directly on your energy field, shifting, transforming or removing negative energies and bringing in positivity and light. Others will take us deep into the Otherworld to retrieve lost soul parts or lost power and bring them back to be integrated into your energy body and life.

These techniques are grounded in my shamanic apprenticeship with Jayne Johnson and fourteen years of relationship with my patron God, Vindos, and my spirit guides.

I also offer free psychopomping as a service to Vindos and the dead. This involves helping souls who are stuck in the Middle World or between the worlds to cross to the Otherworld.

Power Animal Retrieval

Every one of us has one or more power animals who watch over us from life until death and help us connect with nature and spirit. Without them, we experience power loss and disconnection. In a power animal retrieval, this spirit will be found and you will be united with them in a lifelong partnership providing joy and support. (More info HERE).

Power Retrieval

Events in life can leave us feeling lost and powerless. Modern living can drain our spirit. Daily responsibilities can lead to us to becoming worn out and ground down. We might struggle with overwhelm. This leads to disconnection from ourselves, others, nature and the spirit world. A power retrieval can help you to reclaim lost power, rebuild your connections, and show up better for yourself and all beings.

Soul Retrieval

Due to traumatic events, a part of our soul can depart from our bodies to escape the pain and protect the whole. We can also send soul parts away to fit into modern society. This leaves leads to disassociation, memory loss, recurring dreams and feeling like a part of us missing. A soul retrieval can bring back those lost parts, restoring them to you with their qualities, helping you to feel more grounded and whole. (More info HERE).

Soul Exchange

Have you ever felt like you’ve lost a part of your soul to a friend, lover, family member, group or organisation? As we move in and out of relationships we can pick up from and lose parts of our souls to others. Through soul exchange, the parts are returned and any unhealthy attachments (represented by cords) are severed or transformed. This brings a sense of release and a return of energy to both persons.

Shamanic Energy Healing (includes Extraction)

Shamanic energy healing combines the use of a shamanic drum and rattle with modern energy healing modalities, focusing on the energy body and the chakras. It can be used to help treat ailments and illnesses that will not shift through conventional methods alone and to bring the whole system into better health and balance. (More info HERE).

These healings can include:

*Moving blocked and congealed energies.
*Shifting and transforming negative energies.
*Extraction of intrusive energies.
*Chakra rebalancing.
*Journeying into a chakra to heal the related system.
*Shamanic drum and rattle healing.

Psychopomping

Psychopomping involves helping souls who are stuck in the Middle World or between the worlds to cross to the Otherworld. Souls can become stuck for various reasons such as sudden or traumatic death, debts, unfinished business and addictions. They sometimes need healing before they can move on. It’s important to note that not all souls who die traumatically get stuck and some can move at will between the worlds to visit loved ones or stay as protectors. I am currently offering psychopomping as a free service to anyone who suspects a friend, family member or person in their locality might need help crossing over. I can’t promise to be able to help everybody, but will take on cases within my ability, if Vindos and my guides see fit.

~

Sessions cost a newcomer rate of £25 per hour and are 1 1/2 to 2 hrs long. I provide in-person, online and distance options.

For a free informal discussion contact: thesanctuaryofvindos@gmail.com

Please note I am fully qualified, insured and under supervision.

Testimonials

‘I felt very grounded, comfortable and supported working with Lorna. Her channel to spirit is really clear and she holds space with sensitivity, clarity spaciousness and great integrity. She brings her full presence to her practice and this supported an intense process to unfold with ease and softness and at my pace. I found our session healing, validating and liberating and it met me just where I needed to be met – can’t think of higher endorsement.’
~ Katherine-Alex Walker, Yorkshire, UK

‘Lorna is an amazing healer. Very intuitive and I felt a very strong connection like she was in the room with me. Lots of very strong physical movements and sensations within my body. I will definitely be booking further Shamanic Healing sessions with Lorna. Thank you Lorna for making such a difference to my problematic gut health symptoms and for guiding me so intuitively on how to continue to continue to heal my gut myself.’
~ Cheryl, Lancashire, UK

‘Lorna Smithers is an authentic practitioner of the liminal arts. She brings her deep Brythonic connections and knowledge of lore into her healing work. I hoped for augmented help for a very serious illness for which I am under conventional treatment; I have been very pleased with the results. She ended up doing a soul retrieval as well, which provided tremendous insight into the disease’s origins, and helped me reset my orientation to it, something of great value. I was impressed that the healing was done at a distance, yet felt so impactful. She made careful recordings, which I find myself replaying, and has provided further feedback afterwards.’
~ Michael, Portland, Oregon, US

‘This was a remote shamanic energy healing session as I was unable to attend an in-person session due to work commitments.  I received an information sheet and an interview form which allowed me to spend time explaining why I needed the healing session and what I wanted from it.  After submitting the interview form we discussed a time for the remote session, so that I was aware it was happening but not actually taking part.  I then received a voice recording and written description of the healing session. The voice recording was really useful, as I was able to choose a perfect time and place to listen to it when I was at my most relaxed.  At first I wondered whether an “after the event” recording would work for me and I’m very pleased to say it worked perfectly – I’d choose this process again.  A week or so after the session Lorna got in touch to find out how things had gone.  One of the two issues had almost gone away and the other had to be worked on a bit more as it was a longer term issue, but that is beginning to resolve itself now thanks to some clarifications that Lorna gave. In summary, the healing session actually worked out better than I had expected of a remote healing and I’d definitely opt for this process again.’
~ Peter, Lancashire, UK

‘I found the soul retrieval session to be so powerful. I was curious to know how it would work, and what pieces of my soul, if any, would be found. I particularly liked that Lorna and I journeyed together. I had a sense of being accompanied, and I found it fascinating to communicate throughout the journey, recounting what we each were experiencing. I feel this helped to make the journey much more vivid for me, and gave a sense of safety and security. It was quite moving to have soul fragments reclaimed and then blown back into me again. I have done a lot of personal development in recent years, and so this aligns with some of the other work I have been doing. I feel that I had the capacity to then reflect on what these soul fragments might mean for me. Throughout the session I felt comfortable and safe. Everything was explained clearly and there was sufficient time after the journey to then reflect on it. Thank you!’
~ C Farish, Lancashire, UK

‘I sought help from Lorna when I realized wounds from a former friendship were still affecting my spiritual life, including my relationship with my Patron God. She was able to recommend two shamanic healings that would help – a power animal retrieval and a soul exchange. Through several meetings we completed the work I had asked for. I appreciate how much time and care Lorna puts into her spiritual work, and into caring for each client; I always felt heard, and never rushed. During the journeys themselves, Lorna gave me a wonderful blend of agency and support, and I appreciated her insight about things that had happened while we were in otherworldly spaces. With the work complete, I feel a lot more closure with that former friendship, and I’ve found a new closeness with my Patron God.’
~ Thornsilver Hollysong, San Francisco, US

‘I’m really grateful for the opportunity to have a soul retrieval. I’ve recently experienced some trauma in my life that I had a feeling had caused a soul part to leave. Lorna explained everything to me very carefully and I felt fully prepared for the healing treatment. She journeyed for me and spoke this out loud for me to follow (at my request). What came back to me was then integrated with sensitivity and advice was given. I felt calm and peaceful throughout and much happier since. Thank you!’
~ Emma, Lancashire, UK

‘I am so grateful to Lorna for the soul retrieval session – it has really helped me to understand myself more deeply. She is very calm and intuitive, which made the experience very relaxing, and I felt safe and at ease throughout. The session answered a lot of questions helping to heal past events. I am now feeling more centred and confident going forward. I thoroughly recommend the soul retrieval sessions – a wonderful experience!’
~ HK, Buckinghamshire

‘I had a soul retrieval with Lorna who had described the process in advance of the session. I felt very honoured as two soul parts returned. I wasn’t expecting to feel quite so excited or emotional about the experience and I’m so glad I had the session as since then, I have felt an energy shift and I feel more whole and more positive. Many thanks.’ 
~ Michelle, Lancashire, UK
