WELCOME HOME
The Golden path of shamanic way
Have you been on a path of healing, searching to remember your authentic self and belonging to Earth? Do you desire to deepen your connection to nature by learning the language of spiritual signs and messages? Do you wonder how to deepen your instinctual connection to the wild power within and rhythm of the seasons? Have you descended from a lineage affected by trauma and the oppression of sacred feminine intuitive gifts? Do you have an ache to heal the broken connection to your ancestral belonging?
this is a sacred space for your empowerment and remembering
heal and awaken to your personal heartland & divine belonging through radical self compassion, spiritual & deep nature connection with inspired modalities that bridge emotions, mind and soul
My approach is informed by an ancient Celtic nature-based spirituality where the sacred circle or medicine wheel cultivates a relationship between nature, the divine and ourselves by reawakening our interconnection with all life on a physical and spiritual level. Nature, Mother Earth, is the great healer and is at the heart of our practice. Heartland offers a bridge through:
Earth Based Shamanic Healing (Earth)
Trauma Informed Counseling with Compassionate Inquiry (Mind)
Spiritual Healing and Guidance (Spirit)
These modalities work together to heal the dissociation within ourselves; healing and clearing past traumas while offering new ways to enlighten and uplift the spirit.
Healing Ourselves, Healing the Planet
The Golden Path of the Shamanic Way offers compassionate healing ways to guide you home to your true self so you can live your life connected to nature and spirit with meaning, purpose and self love.
“Cara is a highly intuitive healer and her shamanic practice is extraordinarily deep and connected to spirit in a beautiful way. She is highly gifted and a blessing to whomever finds their way to her. ”
Unburden yourself from the false core beliefs and coping mechanisms of your childhood trauma. These reactive beliefs and behaviors helped you survive difficult circumstances but now they can stifle your freedom and ability to flourish as a soveriegn self empowered person. Shed your self limitations and be free to be who you truly are!
Shamanic Healing and Soul Retrieval… is a powerful ancient technique to bring back lost soul parts that separated from your spirit during traumatic life events. Events like illness, surgery, divorce, death of a loved one, accidents or even disappointments, can cause you not to feel like yourself. I journey into the spirit realm to access, heal and retrieve the lost soul part/s to reintegrate with your self so you can feel better and whole again. Shamanic Healing and Soul retrieval can help you take a quantum leap in your healing.
Soul Readings…take you on a journey to the heart of your Self and your true question arising in the now. Often our questions lie deeper under the surface where Spiritual guidance helps to unearth the hidden jewels of your life. Readings can include messages from spirits and ancestors, direct guidance and spontaneous healing. I may offer an energy attunement or practical steps to integrate new awareness.

Cara was immersed in the healing powers of nature, sacred sites and celtic shamanic teachings during her 4 years living in Ireland. This life changing journey opened her eyes to new ways of transcending the dissonance of relatedness and belonging inherent in our modern culture. She now offers shamanic energy healing and counseling to help guide us back to interconnection with Nature and the sacred feminine. Through private healing sessions, group shamanic journeys and teachings, nature walks, classes and trainings, Heartland offers a breadth of experiences to support healing. By reawakening our energy body and indigenous soul we can remember our place in the Sacred Web of Life.
“If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals, and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees.” (If Women Rose Rooted)”
Shamanic Healing
For shamans, illness is seen as an imbalance with spirit and nature. Shamanic techniques help to reestablish harmony between body, spirit, mind and emotions. Depression, anxiety, ptsd and other mental illnesses are often symptoms of negative energy attachments, soul or power loss. Cara works with the spirit world and nature to bring healing and balance back to the client. Sessions can be powerful and life changing with lasting positive results often in much less time than traditional psychological therapy.

Counseling
I offer Trauma and Shamanic Informed Counseling/Healing. Compassionate Inquiry is a powerful approach created by Dr Gabor Mate to help people identify the root of their childhood disconnection which causes false core beliefs and coping mechanisms to survive trauma. I utilize this process and psychic spiritual insight for holistic healing. I offer a safe non-judgmental environment to support the release and relief of pain, grief, shame, confusion and other difficult emotions where you can find your way home to greater peace and self acceptance. Healing is possible for everyone through the process of self awareness, feeling and releasing emotions and taking concrete steps to change.
Energy Healing
RAHANNI CELESTIAL HEALING
A deeply relaxing hands on healing modality to raise our vibration. This is spiritual light technology from our star elders for these modern times of awakening and evolution to help with the intense stress and anxiety. Rahanni clears and uplifts the heart center through the pink ray, archangels and ascended masters eclipsing all fear based energy. It leaves you with a sense of peace and tranquility unleashing your bodies natural ability to balance and heal.
REIKI ENERGY THERAPY
Reiki is a gentle hands on healing method that channels universal life force energy to support the clearing of blocked energy relieving stress and illness. The energy body exists as your energy field and it is where mental, emotional and physical issues begin. Clients may feel an emotional release and a renewed sense of peace and tranquility. The deeply relaxing modality of Reiki and Rahanni offer a direct connection to the source of an issue which can provide a quantum leap in your healing.
