SUSAN JENKINS
I’ve been a shamanic practitioner, spiritual midwife and healer for more than three decades now, helping people empower and transform their lives. I believe that every situation, especially those that are the most challenging, have the potential to become powerful gateways for transformation. Through numerous spiritual studies and rigorous shamanic training, I’ve developed my abilities to journey beyond the physical plane, seeing and sensing underlying energies influencing a person’s health, relationships and life circumstances. Working in collaboration with my guides, we clear, shift and uplift the energies. Deeply grounded in the earth, I use a variety of earth-based practices and ceremonies for healing and shifting energies. Always by my side, my spirit and animal guides help facilitate deep healing through their unique medicines and guidance.
