Having gone through a traumatic relationship years before, I was introduced by a friend to a shamanic soul retrieval in 2018. What I experienced was an extremely powerful and physical experience that has never left me and given me so much strength. To this day, I have never forgotten that treatment and know that if I ever needed emotional help throughout my life, I would seek shamanic healing again - but my therapist moved too far away to make it practical to visit.
Now living a happy unconventional life with my partner of 18 years, I found myself attending relationship counselling for the last six months, which led to decisions about a life change. This is where Ryan helped me navigate myself and the emotional changes I was about to go through.
Searching Google locally, to my amazement, I found a shamanic healer - Ryan. My heart skipped a beat reading his profile and five-star reviews. I could have cried because he was just what I needed and more.
He offered shamanic soul retrievals, one-to-one sessions and many other treatments. Unsure of which to choose, I sent Ryan a brief summary of what I was going through. He acknowledged it quickly and responded with a recommended treatment. His attentiveness and insight were so reassuring.
His calming, soft voice and the way he explained the healing told me I had made the right decision. I had found that connection.
The Healing Sessions
I was very excited for my first shamanic healing session with Ryan, lasting two to two and a half hours, in October 2025. From the moment I met him, his approachable warmth put me at ease, especially as I was already feeling very emotional.
The ceremony room was vibrant, relaxing and calming. Ryan listened quietly and compassionately, holding space for me to share my thoughts and feelings without judgement. He explained his process with gentle guidance in a way that felt completely safe and supportive. There was no pressure - only time and space held with genuine care and respect.
Ryan knew exactly what he had to do. He made me feel fully supported throughout, and with his gentle prompts and guidance, allowed me to experience the unfolding that was happening in a deeply healing, transformative way.
I have had five treatments with Ryan so far. Each healing session has been very different, working on different levels - at times performing rituals which led to releasing sexual, physical and mental trauma I thought I had dealt with over 20 years ago. It was very emotional and profound, but at the same time a beautifully freeing feeling afterwards. Ryan held this space for me unconditionally.
Now I struggle to think back to that time.
How I Feel Now
I feel like parts of my soul have been replaced. Before, it was like Emmental cheese - full of holes from all the trauma and pain I had experienced. After healing with Ryan, I feel like a whole, solid cheddar - my soul feels complete again.
My mental strength has multiplied. I feel calmer, more grounded, and there are changes I cannot even describe - I just know I have changed.
I have always been an energetic, compassionate person, but my family and work colleagues say they see something different in me. They find it hard to explain the change - they say I look lighter, softer and more relaxed.
You Don't Have to Understand It
It doesn't matter if you don't understand what shamanic healing is. You don't have to. Ryan has a wealth of experience, knowledge and wisdom to heal the person within - with compassion and without judgement.
The first contact is the scariest. I contacted Ryan via his website with a brief summary of my issue. He responded with a voice message, and this alone was comforting - hearing his soft, calming and kind voice put me at ease immediately. I booked straight away.
I have never looked back and continue to learn with Ryan, now attending his workshops for my own development and the different path I am now walking on.
Ryan is a very beautiful soul whom I am truly grateful for. He is very gifted, knowledgeable, compassionate and kind - giving his heart and soul to each and every person and treatment. I have never met anyone like him. A truly remarkable human being.
With love, Yvonne xx
