I feel more connected to myself, to my inner child and my future elder. I feel comforted and enlivened at the same time, having a stronger awareness and connection to the helping spirits in my life gives me great peace and fulfilment. I found the experience to be very real, very palpable and relieving. For me it was very much in the foreground of my experience, my day to day life seemed brighter as I walked around with more clarity and wholeness. The sessions helped me to love myself, love more of myself, and to know that I am truly connected to life and spirit. I felt more life force become available to me, and the messages i received were very applicable and timely.I would recommend Elaine to people who need a warm place to land, and a reminder that we are taken care of in the spiritual realm. If there is a part of you that knows something is off, or that something is needed but you aren't sure what - I would recommend you see Elaine. Or maybe you feel like part of you is missing, out of commission or just plain exhausted - I would recommend you see Elaine. If you want life to be brighter, clearer and more full of Love - I would recommend you see Elaine!

 "Shamanism is a path of knowledge, not of faith, and that knowledge cannot come from me or anyone else in this reality. To acquire that knowledge, including the knowledge of the reality of the spirits, it is necessary to step through the shaman's doorway and acquire empirical evidence."  Michael Harner
