Soul
Retrieval
Soul retrieval is one of the oldest healing practices found across Northern traditions. In the Norse world, seiðr‑workers shifted their awareness, entered the deeper layers of a person’s inner landscape, and brought back the parts of them that had gone quiet during shock, grief, or long‑term stress. These pieces weren’t lost — they stepped aside so the person could survive what was happening.
Modern psychology echoes this idea. Carl Jung — one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century — wrote about how people split off parts of themselves during overwhelming experiences. He believed healing happens when those parts return and reintegrate. Soul retrieval is the ancestral version of that same principle, carried through a different doorway.
Why I do this work
I do this work because I was called to it. Not in a dramatic or symbolic way — but in the quiet, persistent way life keeps steering you toward the thing you’re built for.
My path has been shaped by a long history of intense, defining experiences that forced me to understand the deeper layers of human pain. Those years taught me how people break, how they adapt, and how they tuck parts of themselves away just to keep moving. I learned to recognize that pattern in myself first, and then in others.
Because I’ve lived through those depths, I can see the core wound when it shows up in someone else. I can feel where a part of them stepped aside, and I know how to track it, meet it, and guide it back.
This work isn’t abstract to me. It’s personal. It’s familiar. And it’s something I was built to do.
Soul retrieval gives people back the pieces they had to set down along the way. I do it because I know what it’s like to lose those pieces — and what it feels like to finally bring them home.
Who this work serves
This work is for people who feel a quiet distance inside themselves — a sense that an important part of them stepped back during a defining moment in their life. They’ve carried on, built lives, shown up for others, and kept moving forward, but they can still feel the absence of something essential. It shows up as a heaviness, a hesitation, or a sense that they’re operating with less of themselves than they once had.
Many of the people who find their way to this work have lived through seasons that reshaped them. They learned to adapt quickly, to stay strong, and to keep going even when the cost was high. Over time, they became experts at functioning through difficulty, but they can feel the strain of holding everything together without the full support of their own inner resources.
They come to this work with a desire to understand themselves more deeply. They want clarity about why certain patterns keep repeating, why their reactions feel bigger than the moment, or why their instincts feel muted when they need them most. They’re looking for a way to reconnect with the part of themselves that stepped aside — the part that carries their steadiness, their intuition, and their sense of self.
People who seek soul retrieval are often highly self‑aware. They’ve done the reading, the reflection, the inner work. They’ve tried to make sense of their internal landscape on their own, and they’ve reached a point where they’re ready for support that meets them at the depth they’re already operating from. They want a process that honors their intelligence, their history, and their resilience.
This work gives them a path back to themselves. It helps them reclaim the pieces that hold their clarity, their confidence, and their ability to move through life without carrying the weight of old wounds. For many, it’s the first time they’ve felt fully present in their own life in a long time.
The typical relief clients report
When people go through this work, they often tell me they feel lighter in ways they didn’t expect. Not just emotionally, but physically, mentally, and in the way they move through their day. In the older seiðr traditions, bringing a lost part of the self back was known to shift the entire system — the mind, the body, the emotional landscape. Carl Jung wrote about this too, how reclaiming the hidden or forgotten parts of the psyche restores balance and brings a person back into alignment with who they truly are.
That’s what I see in the people who come to me. Their anxiety softens. Their mood steadies. The heaviness they’ve been carrying for years begins to lift. Some notice their sleep improving. Some feel their body finally relax in a way it hasn’t in a long time. A few even see their weight change as their system stops bracing and starts trusting again. But the most consistent thing I hear is that they feel more joy — not the loud, performative kind, but the quiet, steady kind that shows up in the middle of an ordinary day and reminds them they’re still here.
This work helps people reconnect with the parts of themselves that hold their clarity, their instinct, their sense of direction. When those pieces return, life doesn’t feel like something they’re pushing through anymore. It feels more natural, more grounded, more like themselves. They start responding instead of reacting. They feel more present in their relationships. They notice they’re not spiraling as easily. They feel a sense of inner peace they didn’t realize they were missing.
The full process takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour, depending on what we’re working with.
WHAT TO EXPECT
When you sit down with me, we start by getting oriented. I lay a full tarot spread, pull one shadow‑work card, and one animal spirit card. That gives me a clear read on the core wound pattern and the direction of the work. We talk briefly about your natural “happy place” or meditation space — the inner location where you feel steady and safe. That’s where the reintegration will happen later.
We’ll be seated at a small table, holding hands as our grounding point. I work through my hand chakras — the Hasta Chakras, Lalita and Kalavati — to stabilize the field and keep the connection clean while I drop in. I put on the ancestral rhythm that drops me into theta and supports the trance‑channel state, the same pattern my line has always used for travel.
Once the rhythm settles, I anchor and shift into channel mode. My ancestors step in at that point. Their role is to help clear out the old density, the stuck emotional residue, and the shadow‑weight that shows up during the journey through your mind‑scape.
Before I travel anywhere, I ask my spirit animal for permission and protection — for me, for you, and for the fragment. Then I ask your spirit guide to help me navigate your mind‑scape accurately. I don’t move until I get a clear yes from both. When everything is aligned, I enter your mind‑scape and begin looking for the fragment. When I find them, I check in on what they need, whether they’re ready, and what support they require to move toward reintegration.
Before we move through the heavier terrain, you’ll make a short declaration to your fragment — a direct acknowledgment and an invitation home. That is the only thing you’ll have speak out loud unless you personally feel drawn to do so. You may feel emotional waves, pressure shifts, heat, cold, crying, shaking, runny nose, drooling — all of this is normal. Your body reacts because something real is moving.
When we reach the point of return, we bring the fragment back to the happy place you described at the beginning. That’s where the reintegration happens — steady, supported, and intentional. After that, we come back to the physical space, release the contact point, and close the session cleanly.
