WHAT DOES SANDRA DO AS AN INTUITIVE HEALER?
As an intuitive healer, I have the abilities to see and feel pain on your body. I can speed recovery by offering you my own special skills as an intuitive healer.

I am able to heal pain, relieve stress, and restore balance to the areas inflicted with pain so that you are able to go on living at a higher state of being.

I may be able to see diseases. For instance, I am especially sensitive to diseases of the: blood, heart, chest, and head areas. I am also sensitive to other areas that require help both before and after problems may have settled in.

Disease can often be caused by a disturbance in a person's energy field that has infiltrated into the body and caused disrepair. If the hurt is not healed, or the injury or sickness is taken to an emotional level, this pain will be broadcasted back out to the energy of the body. It is very difficult to release this pain or injury without the use of meditation or help from someone else. This is where my abilities as a intuitive healer (medical intuitive) can help you to heal.

We can heal ourselves, and I can teach you how to heal your own pain, if you like.

I can help teach people who are sensitive like myself, how to function in society through "sensitivity training."

I can also see your chakra's and your aura. I am able to deeply cleanse, heal, and strengthen the aura or any chakra that may have been traumatized or improperly developed. I can and will suggest remedies or methods that you can work on at home, to strengthen your chakra's, energy field, or aura.

I am able to see spirit helpers and other guides and act as an intermediary between yourself and your guides and helpers until you are able to access them and understand them yourself.

I can guide you through meditations where you are able to understand a particular situation that has previously bothered you.

I offer the ability to listen to what it is that you require, and give advice that another method may not be able to provide for you in terms of spirit helpers and guides, energy, or other feelings that may be felt that are not necessarily created or manifest in the physical realm.

I am able to offer suggestions on how to avoid other people's pain from settling in your body and upsetting your delicate energy balance.

What makes Sandra's method of healing special compared to many other healers?
My work ethic combined with my ability to connect with and harmonize your energetic centers with your physical, spiritual, and emotional self in a very visual and empathic nature allows me to excel at my work.

This distinguishing factor is relevant in that I am able to offer you protection from certain energies in a way others may not be able to provide.

My strong sense of business and health ethics is very important in my healing practice. I will have spent time in the pool or in the forest, working my own energies out. I take time off when I need to so that I am invigorated, and excited and motivated to see you and have a wonderful healing with you. I believe that I must be engaged fully in the healing experience with you and that you will feel this sense of connectedness.

Why should someone have a session with Sandy?

You would come to see me if you were in search of empowerment, have an illness or ailment, emotional issues, feeling pain or depression, lost or in the middle of a personal crisis, and a desire to improve and heal these situations. You would also come to see me if you want to obtain spirit helpers, to talk with your guides, or if you wanted help with astral work, flight of the soul, or the dark night of the soul.

You would also come to see me if you feel you have need of a house cleansing on a astral level, or feel that your chakra’s need to be opened and cleaned.

Visit me if you would like to know how to work with your chakra’s to empower each one of them so that you could lead a balanced life, or to gain a deeper connection with Earth.

If you are in search of higher knowledge you could come to see me, and gain a sense of yourself and what you should be doing in life to express your spiritual and creative needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN INTUITIVE HEALING
My therapy is based on a mixture of healings, tailored to meet your needs. It`s all about you.

You can expect to receive any of the following healing modalities found on the healing page (link to types of healings).  This is I am an and I am able to create a unique healing based on your own personal requirements and spiritual development.  I use my  intuition, feelings, visions, and knowledge that will be presented during your healing in order to create a unique combination of healing methods for you.

The healing generally begins with a discussion regarding what you would like to receive during the healing. I will ask you various questions and I will also rely on my intuition, as to how to proceed in order to suit your needs the best I can. I will also discuss your client form. You may print it out in advance or fill it out in my office.

I will ask you if I may play ambient music to help with the flow of energy. I find that the music can lead a healing in a very pleasant and empowering manner.

I like to work within you religious beliefs in order to structure my healings with you best interest at heart.

I start the healing with a cleansing of the sacred space by smudging with sage. This will also remove any residual negativity or hurt feelings from both mine and your own aura and physical self that may have been built up before coming to see me.

I then will burn cedar to create a sweet and harmonious working space, and comfortable place for you to heal. I will ask that you breathe in the sweetness of the cedar to fill the void created by the sage's healing release.

It is up to your discretion, whether we use smoke or a fine mist to cleanse the area. Sometimes, I will use both smoke and water to consecrate and purify the working area and self. I find that the thickness of the smoke is very relaxing and purifying and great for very heavy emotional trauma. I also very much enjoy the sweet lightness and purification of the mist.

WHAT IS A SHAMAN?
Shamans practice the traditional method of healing that exists in almost all cultures of the word.  Although an Eastern (Russian) term which comes from the Evenki - Tungusic language of Siberia, what comes to most people’s minds when they think of the word “Shaman” is the Native American medicine man, as well as Australian or Peruvian Shamans.

A Shaman is able to transmit information from one consciousness to another.  Shamans act as an intermediary between the world of spirit and the world of matter for the sake of the community by maintaining a direct connection to the divine to engage in counselling and healing activities through the use of spirit allies, different states of consciousness and authentic union with nature.  Shamans are called by Spirit to restore balance, facilitate spiritual connection, communicate with spirits, and resolve crisis.

"There is a lot of misconception about what shamanism is and is not. Basically, shamanism is caring for the Earth." Puma Quispe Singona  - Shaman from Peru - and also seen on This is 4Real.

WHAT can SHAMANISM DO FOR YOU?
Working with a Shaman (or learning to become one) will allow you to heal yourself and the community. Shamanism addresses, relieves, and heals the spiritual component of pain and disease, as well as trauma (emotional, physical and/or spiritual). A shamanic treatment can restore your sense of power and will.

It is a strong shamanic belief that any and all ailments and life occurrences have come into your life because your will has some how allowed (or been caused) to let this occurrence or illness in. For instance, you might have been tired or depressed, have some sort of learned pattern of behaviour, a method of belief you follow taught to you by an elder, friend or teacher, or you might have even welcomed this pattern into your life as a way to learn a lesson.

My shamanic healings and workshops are not intended to replace your doctors advice and prescriptions, however many people do find that with their doctors approval, they are able to discontinue use of these medications after shamanic treatments. Through shamanic treatments, your body is able to undergo the miracle of self-healing. Your mind and spirit are powerful, live up to their potential and heal from within.

Sandra`s method of healing is complimentary to other healing modalities such as massage, naturopathic remedies, physiotherapy, acupuncture and doctors medicines. To hear a testimonial regarding Sandra`s complimentary techniques, please visit the Testimonial page.

YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR HEALING PROCESSES, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. IT IS OK AND IT IS WANTED THAT YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO MEETS YOUR NEEDS.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SHAMANIC HEALING
If a shamanic working is required, we will then burn sweet grass as an invitation to our ancients, ancestors and benevolent beings or spirits so that we may ask for their attendance to give help with questions or to give guidance when you have needed, or be involved in the healing with us.

I will then provide you with organic Tobacco, and ask that you give thanks by scattering the sacred tobacco to the spirits of the West, East, North and South, Great Mother Earth, Father Sky and Great Spirit, always thanking.

I will then ask you to rest on either the massage table, chair or stand so that we are able to freely move, depending on the type of working involved.

I will ask you to write down any requests, before we begin, so that you are able to formulate in your minds the exact healing or guidance that you require, enabling the healing to manifest on all levels. Sometimes the healing you thought that you would ask for is not what you find you really need when it comes time to ask. I provide paper so that you can bring home the healing that you have requested to remind you at a later date.

I may lay stones if you wish, or crystals. I may also wrap you in a cocoon of warm volcanic rocks and/or chilled marble and jade. (I also provide massage with these same volcanic stones and marble).

I will view your energy field to see where you need healing. I will also allow any images or helpers to appear. I will then verbalize anything that I see to you and allow for your own input to guide us.

Some of the Shamanic Tools used by Sandra
Sage, cedar, Tobacco, Sweet Grass, Shells, Feathers, charcoal and incense, and homemade essences.

Depending on the Healing a massage table will be used for most healings. You are fully clothed unless you are having a Shamanic stone massage.

For stand alone Shamanic Harmonization you may sit in a chair.

Shamanic Classification - Types of Shamans
The type of shamanism that I identify with and work with is classified as the "Adventurous Explorer" rather than a "Warrior" Shaman. What this means is that I approach healing, the spirit world, and confrontation in an exploratory manner rather than fight mode.

I will treat you with Honour, Respect and Nourishment and not Attack
I will approach your spirit self in great honour, respecting you fully.

I see all aspects of visions and healing as a part of you. Therefore I approach all of these aspects of you with humble respect.

For instance, if I saw in a vision a cranky bear spirit I would greet this part of you that is represented by Bear with honour and provide nourishment,  discussion, understanding and healing in order to ascertain what it is that you need in life so that the part of you that is represented by the bear is healed, you are nourished and you needs are fulfilled in a suitable manner.

WHAT IS ENERGY?
Energy is otherwise known as Prana, Life Force, Chi, Ruach, the breath of life, knowledge, heightened consciousness, awareness, and connectivity. "An invisible bio-energy or vital energy that keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health."

WHAT IS ENERGY HEALING?
Energy healing is a very powerful no-touch method of guided energy, used for healing a client that is either present or at a distance.

HOW CAN ENERGY CAUSE PAIN?
If our energy systems are disrupted or blocked we are less able to cope, we feel stressed, which in turn has a negative impact on our physical systems. Over a prolonged period this leads to ill health.

When energy becomes restricted in parts of the body it is shut off in various way, similar to the way water ponds on the side of a river. This energy may pool up and become quiet oppressive or heavy in nature, or even explosive. Depending on where you store your energy it can feel like a bruise, tight ribs, sore hips, pressure in your head, or even sexual tension, which can manifest as inhabitations or excessive desires.

These energy patterns are often created when we were young, often as ways to adapt to external or internal stressors. Just because we have developed a habit to help us cope with stress does not mean it is the best way to cope with our stress, and it may not even be healthy for us and may create even more difficulties, for instance: pain or emotional upheaval.

HOW YOUR EMOTIONS CAN CAUSE PAIN IN THE BODY
As mentioned above, pooled energy can cause procrastination. Emotional pain can be similar in that all to often it is easy to become empathetic with our pain, to hold it in our hearts, or other parts of our bodies to deal with at a later time. We all make patterns, whether these patterns in life suit us in a positive or negative manner, really depends on how we use these energies and what we need to accomplish and if these patterns aid us in accomplishing our goals or hinder our life's tasks.

HOW YOUR OWN NATURAL USE OF ENERGY CAN CREATE PATTERNS OF PAIN
These energy patterns cause a tendency to hold energy in a certain place in a habitual manner. Over time these "unnatural" energy patterns can lead to a break down in the bodies own natural patterns. Sometimes these energies can go even further, creating a vulnerability and acting like a magnet, in that energies of the same pattern are drawn to us and continually inflicting us with even more pain in the same places, over and over again. This is why it can be hard to relieve the pain when the pattern has been successfully laid down over the body in a repetitive manner. This is also why it is hard to give up a habit or situation until the energy pattern is healed and a new and healthier pattern is formed.

HOW INTUITIVE HEALING CAN HELP YOU
Through Intuitive Healing, I can feel or see where your energy is pooling, where you may be restricting energy from flowing, and sometimes even the reason for holding this energy in these patterns. I can help to release this energy so that it flows in the way that our body prefers, relieving physical, mental, psychic or spiritual pain. If you so wish, I can then teach you how to pattern your energy, so that it does not have to cause pain.

The goal of energy healing is to release these pools of energy, back into the main flow of your body's energy "river". This release of energy brings back vitality, and can even help you to overcome procrastination.

Intuitive healing can sometimes cause a rush of emotions to surface. Sometimes questions will be created that you must answer in order to heal or a great number of questions will be answered for you. These healings may also cause you to be tired first as you begin to heal, but the end result is revitalization and attunement with your own self.

I can also teach you how to become more intuitive with your own body, so that you too can feel where your energy is pooling so that you can release your own energy, and become more vital.

"Intuitive Healing is based on the fact that our bodies have the power to self-heal. The energy that surrounds our body also flows within it and is absorbed by the organs and glands. When disease first appears in the body, it usually appears as a disturbance in the energy field before it manifests in the physical body as an ailment."

WHEN ARE INTUITIVE HEALINGS BENEFICIAL FOR YOU?
Come see me for intuitive healing, whenever you want to be invigorated or creative, or when you need to overcome a barrier. Intuitive healing is helpful any time your energy systems experience a negative impact, that you are unable or unwilling to deal with at that time.

What to do before a healing treatment
I would like you to please partake of fruit and water before seeing me. It is ok to have some meat, but the more you have the heavier your energy will be and the less you will feel or experience what is occurring during the healing. Water and fruit will prime your energy so that your body is ready to take on the healing and so that you can enjoy the process of the treatment (depending on your abilities the treatment may be more: visual, have more colour, feelings, etc).

*I include organic fruit (or vegetables for diabetics), herbal tea and purified mineralized water, before each treatment.

 
What to do after you Treatment
At the end of your office treatment
I include time after the healing for you to awaken, and come back to your body in a graceful manner. I follow my intuition on the appropriate manner to seal your energy off from harmful energies (while keeping you open to beneficial energies). I may ask you to wiggle your toes or fingers, or I might use a feather over your body to clear your energy. I will definitely bring you back with all your other parts, healthy and whole and intact. I will then suggest that you take your time to arise and feel yourself come back into your body. You have just been in a deep state, and it is good that you take some time to enjoy the process and the end results of your new self and let the healing settle into your aura, physical body and life.

I will then provide you with something to eat and drink to help ground you and balance the healing energy, with time to process before you go home. While you have your snack, we will have time to discuss the treatment, what we saw, felt, or sensed or even thought.

After the discussion, before you leave
A closing ceremony in which we will cleanse the room, yourself, and my own self again with sage, cedar, and sometimes prayer. I will then ask that you symbolically seal off the energy in a healing manner. Even though the healing is physically closed down we will request that your healing continue for as long as it is needed. We will then take time to say a spiritual goodbye to each, allowing us both to continue on with our own unique paths.

After you go home
It is recommended that you continue having very healing liquids and solids. For instance, water will help remove any unwanted blockages out of your body, that we have worked to remove. Fruit is also very beneficial for you, as is vegetables, and this will help keep your energy up so that you can deal with any of the changes in your life.

You might expect your body to detoxify, and that's a good thing. For instance, you might go to the bathroom more often. Allow yourself plenty of water over the next few days, so this process of elimination can occur.

You may also want to provide yourself with more rest, although sometimes you might have rested enough before treatment, and just need to get out there and move around. What ever you do, take some time for you to let the process enter into your body, spirit, soul, and aura. Notice how much you have improved and how much more you accept yourself and notice your changes.

Don't worry about holding on to things. You will only let go of things that are not beneficial for you. Things that are good for you, will remain.  Depending on what you saw me for, you can expect an alleviation of: pain, negative feelings, negative mental processes, worries, and procrastination. You can expect to see your ailments that you saw me for to improve and other things in your life that you hadn't expected to improve can also take flight in beautiful directions. Your energy level, feeling of well being, and existence and alertness increase with each treatment.

My healings are holistic and goes to the deepest root of your existence. Since everything is energy, this energetic level of your being is able to accept the healing energy at your deepest level and heal the reason for your illness, pain, and procrastination so that you can leave a much happier person, able to take on new challenges with vigour and positive health.

Number and Timing of Treatments
Just one treatment can be very beneficial and make a great difference. You can expect to heal and make great change during your treatment and beyond.

Recovery
If you are suffering from deep trauma, crisis or physical ailments and habits, I recommend a treatment plan to help you continue the momentum of deep healing. This will ensure that all issues have had the appropriate time to be healed and the positive effects will be long lasting. It is valuable to allow yourself time to heal, settle, and let new processes to surface and understand what to do next in your life with new direction. I have a special "Deep Healing Package" to help with the cost and provide an incentive to take care of your needs.

Maintenance
It will be most beneficial to continue with a maintenance plan of once a month to ensure your energy remains healthy and free of any emotional, spiritual or physical hurt.

DISTANCE HEALING CAN BE AS BENEFICIAL AS PHYSICAL HEALING:
Distance healings are just as relaxing or invigorating as physical healings and can be sent at a much more appropriate time of day.

Distance healing is excellent for anyone who may not be able to make an in office healing. Distance healing works for the same reason in office healings work, such as healing the emotional, mental, spiritual or physical self and to protect you, your friends, family and pets.

At times, distant healing can be much easier for you because there are no time restrictions, there is no need to look for parking, no need for a sitter, you can sit quietly at work or home while I work on you in my own office. I can also purify and bless your space from a distance.

Distance healings are great because the person or item needing to be healed or blessed can not always get to the office very easily, especially if the healings needed are of an immediate necessity and that person is far away, homebound or hospitalized, or the item is large.

Distance healings facilitate healing and recovery from surgery or other traumas. It allow patients to sleep better before and after a traumatizing event such as surgery or an accident. With distance healing you can send feelings of understanding, love and compassion during someone else’s time of need, this may even help to repair your relationships.

Distance healings can be helpful for sensitive children who may not understand how to deal with their difficult lives, or special needs children who need to develop and integrate appropriate social skills, and learning skills.

Distance healing can also help to facilitate understanding in situations such as in the boardroom or classroom. Distance healings are great for alleviating depression or spiritual ruts, because I can work on rejuvenate your life by creating sparks of creativity in your work, home, or spiritual centers.

In fact, distance healings are often a preferred method for many situations.

TAKE THE TIME TO HEAL NOW
It is much better to work with energy healing when you have the time and energy, rather then when you are forced to deal with an issue. Many crisis's occur either because you did not deal with an issue, or the crisis triggers a response in yourself that forces you to deal with this issue when you don't necessarily want to, or during a time you believe you do not have time to to spare for healing.

Like a deep and bloody wound, quite often we do not want to touch the places that hurt or the reasons that cause us pain. It can be difficult to want to get over hurdles that we are used to procrastinating away. However, when you are able to release your burdens you will realize how much better life can be for you, and you will enjoy the process of healing yourself at an even deeper level.

My suggestion to you is to enjoy what you have and where you are in life. Allow yourself the opportunity to heal now, while you have the time and freedom. Even if you are about to undergo a crisis, I suggest that you work on the issue now because that crisis may very well be diverted simply because you took the time to work with yourself and dissolve the problem before they were able to harm yourself or the people around you.

WHEN YOUR ENERGY SYSTEMS ARE BALANCED YOU WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE PERCEIVED AS STRESSFUL.

NOTE:
You may experience emotional release during or after a healing as a natural response to the release of emotional burdens. Please don't suppress what you have worked so hard at releasing, allow the healing to occur.
