Energy Healing

I help healers access their power.

When something feels stuck, repeating or just out of reach, our work creates the conditions for it to move.

Sessions for what words can't reach. Slow, attentive work, built from years of tracking bodies, journeying through the underworld and upperworld, and learning when to act and when simply to witness.

Every session begins the same way: presence first, technique second.

Each session is three hours — rarely needed in full, but always held in reserve, because the body decides its own pace, not the clock.

I meet each client uniquely, through somatic energy healing, trance oracle work, shamanic journeying and ritual.

Seiðr — the Nordic shamanic tradition the Enquiry Circle is rooted in

Now forming

Enquiry Circle

We gather primarily to listen: to ask the spirits how they wish us to continue our work on earth, for the greatest good of all. This work has its roots in Nordic Shamanism — Seiðr. A space to practice trance and oracle work through the body.

Suitable to those who are deeply grounded in the body, familiar with shamanic journeying, holding energetic boundaries and in good health. No experience in trance states is necessary. Participation is required at least once per month. $40. Capped at six places.

  • Sat 22 Aug6 – 8pm

Energy Healer Training

For those called to hold humans deeply.

A place to understand and recognise the power of the hands. Using breath and intention, we craft the tools we inherit and the tools we create, to remember the long internal work of becoming someone the body trusts to lead it somewhere unfamiliar.

Vanessa uses 'maps' lent to us in our folklore, to interpret the flight of the soul through seasons, cycles, moments of bliss, grief, and everything in between. Healing is not a far away concept, but a path we travel again and again, with conviction and company.
