What is a Shaman?
Shamans are wounded healers who use their stories and experiences to inspire and uplift others. They share their wisdom and offer a sense of community and support, reminding others that they are not alone in their struggles. Shamans encourage listeners to embrace their healing journey and take action toward a brighter future. Their guidance affirms each individual's strength and resilience, helping them feel encouraged, understood, and valued.
MY Shamanic Roots
I was born into the Shamanic Path, a truth that was revealed to me by my Ancestors only a few years ago. The Matriarchal Women on my Father's Side, the pillars of our family, have been instrumental in preserving and passing down the Teachings of Herbalism, the Laying of Hands for Intentional Healing, and Powerful Intuitive Abilities. As a 5th-generation Mayan-descended Medicine Woman, these gifts are deeply ingrained in my heritage. However, my Grandmother, who was raised Catholic and later converted to Christianity, did not directly teach me these gifts. It was her Own Beliefs that She Felt Inside from Her Faith, Familial Conditioning, Experiential Patterning, and Fear that She Chose not to Impart the Ancient Wisdom While Living on the Physical Plane. That Changed Once my Grandmother Returned to the Creator, She Revealed To Me My Path.
My Childhood & Career
As a child, I had a heightened sense of people's genuine emotions and could even glimpse their optimistic and sometimes damaging lives. I remember having many "imaginary friends" who were spiritual beings watching over me from the other side. However, growing up, I found expressing my emotions and feelings increasingly difficult. Channeling my mother, father, grandmother, sister, and others nearby became challenging, a gift I was unaware I had to understand their internal energies and how to interpret the messages that were downloaded into my mind.
As a result, I became a temperamental child, and my parents didn't know how to help me. They couldn't understand my struggles, and I didn't know how to cope with them. So, I learned to suppress my emotions and be withdrawn and quiet. I longed to feel loved, accepted, and "normal," like any other girl. Unfortunately, these self-imposed coping mechanisms only led to more problems. I developed anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, and self-worth issues.
Despite all this, I built a successful career in corporate hospitality management and became a licensed massage therapist in my twenties. I even managed to open a holistic wellness center in Florida at the age of thirty. I felt unstoppable, and nothing could derail me - or so I thought.
Unfortunately, my first business failed, and my dreams came crashing down. I hit rock bottom and didn't know how to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. But then, something extraordinary happened. While in solitude, trying to heal in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, I experienced a spiritual visitation. It was a turning point, and I knew I had to change my ways.
My Spiral Path of Healing
While I was living in North Carolina, I went through a period of intense grief. I felt lost, confused, and unsure about what to do with my life. I desperately wanted clarity and direction. One night, my grandmother came to me in a dream and revealed a powerful truth: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth," she said. "You need to know who you are and what to do. You are here to help others heal with your gifts." Her message was a profound moment of validation for me. It confirmed my long-held belief that there was a spiritual dimension to life and that I had been given gifts that I needed to use to help others. Her words were a turning point, and I knew I had to change my life to fulfill my purpose.
I left the beautiful mountains of North Carolina and returned home to Central Florida, where I opened my second business, Satnam Wellness, in 2020. I created and led it with my heart and the Creator this time. Since my return, I've sought counseling, coaching, and energy healing to break free from the chains I had put on myself throughout my entire life. With Divine Timing, I found Shamanism through three clients who mentioned my mentor's name as a sign I needed to contact her. During this apprenticeship, I embarked on deep meditative journeys guided by various Spirit Guides. Through these journeys, I learned of my ancestral Shamanic lineage, a lineage rich in healing and spiritual wisdom passed down through generations. This discovery was a profound moment of connection and validation, and it deepened my understanding of my gifts and purpose.
Through the transformative power of Shamanic practice, my gifts blossomed, and I unearthed my true purpose. I applied my healing techniques, catalyzing significant shifts and changes. I was determined to embody my shared teachings, embracing the philosophy, transformational experiences, and lessons from my Shamanic mentors. This journey has liberated me, allowing me to become a more compassionate healer and guide for those around me.
I continue to shift, heal, and transform. It's our life's journey to do this for soul growth. Through meditating, listening to that soft voice of guidance, maintaining my energetic body, counseling, and faith, I keep walking free, and life is beautiful. My faith, a constant companion throughout my journey, has given me strength, hope, and a sense of purpose. It has taught me to trust in healing and transformation, even when it feels challenging or uncertain. This trust in my faith has been a guiding light, leading me toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Your Call To Action
I'm eager to listen to your story and understand how you seek personal growth, understanding, and self-love. You have the power to change your story at any time. Honoring your path and choosing a new way of life is an initiation process involving many cycles. Understanding the seasons of your life and the ones you're willing to go through as you navigate your journey is helpful and can be easier to process and surrender to with the help of a guide who walks in similar paths.
I am here to offer my support and encouragement as you embark on your journey towards healing. Your healing process will benefit you and contribute to the positive energy of all souls on Earth, creating a ripple effect of healing and transformation. It would be an honor to guide you if you are ready to make shifts and transform yourself.
Let us begin this journey together, my friend.

I spent many Sundays at healing circle where it was a safe space to openly share my life journey and traumas surrounded by support and love, gently guided by Naomi. Friday night sound baths also became a regular part of my routine. I’ve never been one to easily meditate, and every time I went to a sound bath, not only was I able to meditate, but it was so much more than that. I am forever grateful for the guidance, care and love Naomi has given me on my healing journey.

I’d been struggling for a couple of years, searching for my purpose and feeling like I was missing something. I’d reached that point in my life, that I hear so many people mention, where I just felt stuck. A little over a year ago, a friend of mine invited me to attend a Healing Circle with her. Although clueless about what it was, I knew I had to go and was simply drawn to it. After attending my first Healing Circle with Naomi, I left feeling the weight of the world I’d been carrying on my shoulders for way too long, start to lighten. I knew I was meant to continue this new spiritual journey I’d begun. I truly believe the universe brought me to Naomi for the inner healing and energy work I so desperately needed. With her I’ve done several healing circles, massages, sound baths, shamanic healing journeys, breath work, chakra balancing, reiki work, etc. After every appointment, there’s an awakening inside of me that is powerful and full of life, energy, and clarity. I am healing from the inside out, connecting with the universe and spiritual guides through Naomi's work with me. The changes that have transpired from my journey with her thus far, cannot be referred to as anything short of amazing. I’m pushing personal boundaries while putting outside ones in place. I’m embracing what the world is offering and am no longer afraid of pursuing it’s opportunities.

When I met Naomi, I was coming out of a deep depression with the help of various traditional therapies and supports. Over many years’ time, I had been worn down by the stresses and anxieties of life, by personal trauma, and by the depression that overwhelmed me as a result. Just a month before my first appointment, I was at the lowest point in my life.
Although thankful that I could see the light of the sun again due to the work I’d been doing, when I thought about the future, and when I saw the present moment, everything was shaded in gray.
I will never forget the Shamanic meditation Naomi guided me through that changed everything and brought color and hope back into my vision of the future, as well as a zest for life back into my present. In the meditation, she encouraged the use of bold colors while I envisioned painting my life on a canvas. In that moment, I felt a sense of freedom and confidence to add color - joy, excitement, pleasure, vulnerability - into my monochromatic existence. I left that day with a ton of hope and the energy to move forward into a brighter, bolder reality of my own creation.
Through structured guidance during several more Shamanic meditations and Somatic Reiki sessions, Naomi provided the safe container and the supportive guidance that helped me process heavy emotional weights I’d been carrying and uproot the stronghold that past experiences were having on my spirit. I felt a greater sense of agency during and after these experiences and was able to then take specific actions to move myself along my healing path.

I’ve been working with Naomi for over a year now and I’m so glad our paths crossed! I initially began seeing Naomi for bodywork to help manage my chronic illness and over time, we began to incorporate energy work.
I was going through a difficult situation, and she suggested trying Shamanic breath work. After the first session, it felt like a weight had been lifted and I never looked back! I’ve continued to see Naomi for Shamanic breath work and Reiki ever since.
Naomi is such a joy to work with and I appreciate all she’s helped me with, not only physically, but spiritually as well. She’s so empathetic and truly cares about her clients.
