Heal ing & Support
rooted in your connection
to All That Is.

welcome to
: : soul medicine sessions : :
for tending what ails us at the soul level.

A longing lives within each of us to be close to soul.

When we’re close to soul, we feel our one, true life close within us, no matter where we are or what’s happening.

Soul Medicine Sessions tend the aspects of illness, suffering, initiation and growth rooted in the soul, using shamanic healing techniques passed down through centuries of care.

We’re meant to meet, fall in love with and marry our eternal nature. We each came with a purpose, and a unique constellation of gifts and powers perfectly suited to that purpose.

We also came willing to experience the agitating sands which shape the pearl of our power. Interwoven throughout our life’s many callings and experiences are personal initiations, sacred wounds and wily challenges we all must navigate.

Where in your daily life needs love, attention, healing or renewal? You have so much power within you to heal, heed the callings of your soul and create what you most desire.

Shamanic healing helps to bring your power and capacities to the surface, while gently clearing what binds or blocks you, your family, the Land where you live & the greater community of which you are a part.

The Common-most Reasons to Seek Shamanic Healing:


Loss of self-hood.
A feeling you’re “not yourself,” living outside yourself, far from yourself, “beside yourself,” lost, feeling something essential is missing or nothing’s the same anymore.

The wound that keeps on bleeding.
Including negative patterns, limiting beliefs, chronic or mystery illness, relationship dynamics, intergenerational trauma, past life wound, core wound, prolonged grief or situations you can’t seem to move on from.

Healing Land & Home.
You sense or know there are stuck and/or malevolent energies, ghosts or other wounds present in your home and Land.

You can see it but can’t be it.
A vision persists of who you are, what you want, or what you’re meant to pursue, but you feel blocked from doing so.

Longing. An urgent call to know your soul’s purpose and medicine, to take up your sacred role in this lifetime, to be in right standing with your destiny.

Initiation & Magic.
You’ve been visited by mysterious encounters, visions, an unsettling series of events, erotic and/or synchronistic situations, or a powerful dream. And/or, a rite of passage is underway.

Ancestral connection / Checking on Loved Ones.
Ancestral healing, psychopomp work and metabolizing grief from loss is central to shamanic work.

Crisis moments call for immediate medical attention. If you are experiencing a physical or mental crisis, call 911, your doctor or the suicide prevention hotline: 988.

“Your soul is the priestess of memory—
selecting, sifting and ultimately gathering your vanishing days toward presence.”

Shamanic Healing Will Be Especially Beneficial If…

You’d like to compliment physical and emotional healing by tending the unseen forces, spiritual dimensions, and soul’s agenda at play in what is happening for you.

You’re on a journey of inner-transformation and need help recognizing and enhancing your innate gifts, your medicine or your sovereignty (rightful rulership over your life).

You long for a more robust, direct connection to Source, the Earth, your personal spirit guides and the ancestors. You’re ready to open more fully to the magic all around you.

You’re very drawn to enchantment, myth, imagination, ritual and Nature as pathways for healing & self-alchemy… You’re curious about or already skilled in other ways of knowing.

Shamanic healing opens the conversational portal between our daily life and our deeper life, between the facts of life and the unseen mystery of our sacred, never-to-be-seen-again story.

  • In session with Amanda, I felt a lifting of certian veils. I see my life- where it came from and where it's going- in sharper focus; less judgement, less fear. I feel Artemis-like, strong and wild and protective. She's amazing at what she does.

    Maragret R.
    Writer & Teacher

  • I came to our Shamanic Soul Session feeling stuck with a veil clouding the path forward and I can say that I am forever changed by my time with her. The wisdom and messages she brought forth to support me on my path have rooted into my life and guided me forward in a way I was missing so much. If you are considering a session with her, you will NOT be disappointed. Her magic is deep, her presence so reassuring, a balm for the soul. I cannot recommend her support enough!

    -Jullian M.

  • I just want to say how profoundly helpful these sessions have been. Like... profound! I leave so invigorated again, so much stronger. Thank you for what you do.

    Karen D.

  • I am amazed at how much we’ve done in 3 sessions; it’s incredible. It’s been just so helpful… I feel so much more clear and strong. What we’ve covered and what I’ve gained is remarkable compared to other modalities I’ve tried.

    Hannah C.
    Environmental & Conservation Consultant

  • I just want to thank you for the time we spent together in our sessions. I think of them often and everything I gained continues to guide and serve me over a year later!

“The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.”

-Rumi

Earth Medicine is the original holistic medicine.

In earth-medicine traditions, it’s understood that physical and emotional healing is always intertwined with the soul’s quest for its destiny.

By tending the soul, we feel more strength, energy and wherewithal to tend the body and mind. As we tend body and mind, we’re more able to tune ourselves to our soul’s true music. 

The spirits can see what is difficult for us to see. Shamanic work centers on exquisite respect for the participant’s innate wisdom, personal truth and wholeness. It’s also excellent at noticing the elephant in the room. It’s understood in the tradition that the medicine offered for one situation will, by its very nature, tend the whole. By seeking soul-level healing, we often encounter underlying causes and contributing factors not yet considered.

Shamanic medicine always sets or resets us onto the path of healing and personal power. It’s not a quick fix, yet it’s amazingly efficient in drawing out The Healing Story inherent in any challenge.

The helping spirits will never do the work that’s yours alone to do. They will never force you to do anything you’re not ready to or don’t wish to do. You are the sovereign ruler of your life. The Wild Others offer their medicine freely; it’s up to us to let it flow into our life. 

Who Am I?

A hundred thousand welcomes, a chara~ dear friend. My name is Amanda verdery Young. I’m an initiated bhean feasa, or Medicine Woman, in my Celtic ancestral tradition. I’m also a writer, teacher and certified shamanic practitioner in both Celtic and core shamanism. My devotion and special medicine is in helping others fall in love with themselves, with their life’s path & with the animate world around them.

I began studying and practicing the traditional shamanic drum journey and various other esoteric healing practices over 20 years ago, and turned fully towards my Celtic, ancestral earth-medicine path in 2017. A lengthy initiatory process led to my formal training, and of course, life-long learning.

I’ve also trained and mentored extensively with the Animas Valley Institute, a wilderness-immersion organization devoted to nature-based soul initiation. Their work centers on navigating life’s most important and mysterious rites of passage, largely through other ways of knowing beyond the thinking mind.

I’ve spent many hundreds of hours wandering alone in wild and semi-wild places, here on this plane and in many Otherworlds, accompanied by the varied and ever-wise beings of Land, Sea & Sky.
