Asa is amazing. I could never explain the process or her techniques - all I know is - it works. She truly has a gift for healing.

Reba Williams, film producer, NC

Working with Asa sent me on a path that changed my life. I did the homework she gave me, and had a radical healing of stomach ulcers and fibromyalgia. Both conditions are in complete remission. I have lost 30 pounds and am now able to fulfill my potential, happily...with dignity. Thank you, Asa! Thank you, Great Spirit!

Asa is an extraordinary healer. Each session with her has brought me to a new and heightened level of self awareness. Call Asa if you really want to grow and move ahead in your life.

Marcia C. Flowers, writer, NC

Working with Asa is like receiving a bath in white light and emerging with a new sense of power and direction. Her gifts as a healer are extraordinary. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will feel an opening in their body and soul, as her laser like abilities literally clear the way for a more fulfilling way of being in the world. It has been my privilege to experience her healings and to recommend her to many others who cherish her and her gifts as I do.

Thank you again for the insight, wisdom, encouragement, support, and healing you've shared with me. All of the personal experiences, in depth training and hard work that went into developing your abilities is apparent. You bring a rare precision and a tremendous passion to your work. I'm very grateful for the grace that had our paths cross at this time in my life.

Lisa Duff, Connecticut

The information I received from my sessions with Asa have completely shifted many things in my life. Many blocks have been removed and much lightness brought in. I am in awe of her skill.

Edie Pereira Hulbert, Master Certified Coach, NY

 

My experiences with Asa's work have varied considerably. One of the things I admire so much is Asa's ability to pull all of the seemingly unassociated pieces of free floating thoughts, fears, anxieties and confusions into a focused thought! From there we are more easily able to address the underlying concern. I have seen Asa for a number of different concerns and am always amazed at how easily she knits and weaves her way through the muck to uncover the gifts I have.

Then, of course, it's my job to nurture and grow these gifts. I so appreciate all the work I have done with Asa and expect to do more as life presents its hidden mysteries for me to
embrace!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. So what is a shaman anyway?

A. The word shaman (SHAH-man) is from the Tungas people of Siberia and has become a generic term used to refer to people who have been trained in the art of entering altered states of consciousness to acquire information on behalf of another person or a community.

Q. What is the purpose of a shamanic healing session?

A. Our definitions of ourselves and how we view the world are created by external influences, family, religion, culture, ethnic group, etc.

Shamanic healing helps the client to step back from the story of their life and identify the patterns that keep them stuck in beliefs and behaviors that no longer work for them. The healing is actually done as a ceremony where the client is released from their attachments to their past. This allows them to have a new perspetive of themselves and their lives which in turn gives them to opportunity to make healthier, more empowered choices.

Q. What happens in a session?

A. There are actually four basic parts to a session.

1) A session begins with a phone conversation, an introductory call, to find out if what I do is appropriate for the client and to determine if we are comfortable working together. (There is no charge for the intoductory call).

2) If we are in agreement, a second appointment is made to explore the issue more deeply. From a series of questions and answers I am able to determine the pattern of dysfunction and how it is playing out in the client's life.

3) Once we agree on the issue I do the actual healing ceremony, working with the energy body, which is accessed through the chakra system. There are several techniques that may be used in the ceremony, depending on the client and the issue we are addressing.

4) When the healing ceremony is complete, we discuss what it revealed and how things have shifted. The client is also given homework, a small personal ceremony to perform at home.

Q. How do I choose a shamanic practitioner?

A. If you have the name of someone, talk to them first. Pay attention to how you feel as you talk with them. Ask who they studied with and for how long - this is not something you can learn in a one week workshop. Trust is very important in this work so if someone doesn’t feel right, keep looking. In indigenous cultures a person has to demonstrate their ability to hold sacred space and facilitate change before they are recognized as a medicine person, so it is appropriate to ask for references if that will make you feel more comfortable.

Q. How is it possible to do the session long distance?

A. Because shamanic healing takes place in an altered state of consciousness it happens outside the confines of the physical world, therefore the physical body doesn’t need to be present for most kinds of work. However, there are some situations where it is preferable to have the person physically present during the session.

Q. Why do you say this work is not appropriate during pregnancy?

A For a couple of reasons. First of all when a woman is pregnant there is another spirit present whose permission is needed to do the session, but it is also because this type of work can create a significant shift in the body’s energy field which might create problems during pregnancy.

Q. What do you mean “whose permission is needed”?

A. A practitioner should not work on someone without their permission. To do so lacks integrity. This includes the child in the womb.

Q. How would I know if I need a shamanic healing session?

A. The questions I might ask include:
Do you feel stuck in some aspect of your life?
Did you experience abuse as a child?
Do you experience depression, low self esteem?
Have you been you traumatized in some way?
Do you find yourself in a pattern of behavior that you can’t seem to move out of?

These are a few of the reasons you might seek shamanic healing.
