The Alchemy of Healing
Samara has spent the last decade supporting individual and community mental health services and programs. She offers a variety of complementary healing modalities including Somatic Experiencing,® the trauma resolution modality created by Peter Levine, as well as Shamanic Reiki, Mayan spiritual healing and Trauma-informed yoga therapy.
Samara specializes in working with shock trauma, including car accidents, interpersonal violence and experiences resulting from war and disaster. She also has expertise working with birth trauma and developmental trauma. She has worked extensively as well with care providers dealing with burnout and vicarious trauma.
Somatic Experiencing
Samara appreciates that the healing process has layers and interconnectedness of life experiences. She works with clients to support and empower them in their own journey of healing and connection to inner wisdom and to reclaiming agency and integration of self. Through somatic experiencing® sessions, she holds space for the reweaving of traumatic experiences and events in a safe environment where the client is empowered to connect with their body and senses in a titrated way that feels safe for them. SE sessions can include dialogue, art activities, and movement.
Shamanic Reiki & Mayan Spiritual Healing
Samara has always been fascinated with complementary approaches to western healing. She is a healer, teacher and shamanic practitioner who has been studying and practicing energy work for over a decade. Samara looks to support clients through a holistic lens empowering them to discover and align with their truest and most authentic selves.
She is an Arvigo® Spiritual Healing practitioner, having completed three years of training in Maya Spiritual Healing with Dr. Arvigo, who studied more than 30 years with various traditional healers in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. The Arvigo practices are timeless and gentle methods assist with healing the emotional and spiritual residue of traumatic life events. These may include fright (Susto), grief (Pesar), sadness (Tristessa), chronic anger (Courage) and envy (Invidia).
Samara is also a certified Shamanic Reiki Master Teacher, having studied under the tutelage of Shamanic Reiki Worldwide founder, and author, Llyn Roberts, who has practiced shamanism for 30 years and trained extensively with Andean healers and traditional leaders in the Asian stepes. She has also studied shamanistic practices from North Africa and Hawaii.
Both Somatic Experiencing® and traditional healing sessions should be considered complementary therapies, which are not a substitute for working with certified mental health or medical professionals. Please read my disclaimer before booking a session.

Arvigo® Mayan HealingAddresses the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies of each individual in such a way as to return that person to vitality, peace and well-being by facilitating the release of ‘stuck energies and entities’ to facilitate a deep spiritual cleansing. In doing so individuals are better able to release stored emotions and traumas which no longer serve them.
|
Shamanic ReikiDraws on both the Reiki system to channel life force energy, to heal and restore balance, as well as traditional Shamanic practices. Traditional Shamanic practices are used to to realign a person with their truest and most authentic selves, restoring balance and integration by removing energetic intrusions and retrieving lost soul parts to facilitate profound healing.

"I enjoyed Samara's shamanic healing treatment when I was experiencing an intense transition period in my life, very anxious about choices I had made and what was ahead. Samara's calm and non-judgmental nature makes one feel completely at ease right away, open to undergo this special healing experience. I felt Samara was very sensitive and attuned to my needs, responses to the treatment and feelings and she guided me attentively through each step of the process. I didn't know what to expect before the treatment, but afterwards, I felt light and at ease, as if a burden was lifted of my shoulders and stones were taken out of my head and heart." - E.D., New York, NY
