Meet your practitioner

 Hi! My name is Seraphina.

I'm a shamanic practitioner trained through Sandra Ingerman's legacy under Karen Hutchins. I'm proud to be a third generation attuned Reiki Master honoring my father and his grandmother before him. I'm a deeply passionate and curious person which has led me to explore shamanic traditions in Native American tribes all across the United States, and workshops in Iceland on Old Norse Seiðr.

My lifeblood is to travel and nature is my deepest home. I was always that kid running around barefoot, hands full of feathers and skulls enough that it scared my grandma. After my young life I dealt with crippling anxiety, which over the years has taught me time and time again what value there is in being gentle. This led to a lot of inner child work, and is thus one of my most passionate avenues of healing.

Healing is freedom, and we all deserve to heal in whatever way we're called to.

My passion is helping people like me navigate their ways through the tricky trails of life, to find your freedom & abundance in whatever way is yours.

 WHY "VALKYRIC HEALING?"

My parents named me "Seraphina" after the seraphim angels, which to Christian religion is considered the highest order of angels - closest to god.

I always liked to think that was the Christian equivalent of the valkyries in Old Norse (viking) mythology. The valkyries were the winged women who came to take the fallen in battle to Valhalla.

I am a viking at heart, and the ways of the old norsemen along with Nordic animism is where I have always had an innate interest. It is what brought me to shamanism.

My recent solo voyage to Iceland confirmed this bond, and since I often find myself helping the fallen cross over peacefully, it felt poetically fitting. To die is honorable: it means you lived.

With the grace of a winged warrior and the fierceness of a valkyrie, it is how I find myself confidently weaving the spiritual into the physical. A valkyrie is strong and true - she is certain in her step, and so her healing is equally assured, gentle, and valkyric.

 ANY OTHER FUN FACTS?

I am on an absolute MISSION to visit all 430+ National Park Sites in America. So far I've excitedly visited 70+ since 2020, with a small pause for the pandemic.

I'm a 4th generation Austinite and I've lived here all my life.

I started my training to become a Shamanic Practitioner at just 16 years old, and at the time it was a very large step out of my comfort zone. It is one that has forever changed my life for the better, in ways I never could've expected.

If travel, Scandinavia, or my loved ones aren't my home, then it's the beach :).
