About Alida
Over the past three decades, Alida has trained hundreds of people in the techniques of
the shamanic journey and has performed thousands of soul retrievals.
She has redesigned her life to incorporate the concepts of healing and simplicity.
She brings to her work a passion for balance, healing and exploration of the spiritual world
in a practical way. From 1987 to 2005, she trained with Sandra Ingerman in soul retrieval,
shamanic counseling & teaching. Her initial training in shamanic healing was with Michael Harner
of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. She is certified in shamanic counseling by
Michael Harner - a certification granted to only 26 individuals in the United States.
Certified Shamanic Counselors (CSC) are individuals who have completed the Foundation's
rigorous certification program. They have been trained to counsel clients in shamanic
journeying for the purpose of divination so that clients may directly seek answers and
guidance from their own helping spirits.
Her practice includes healing offered in the shamanic tradition and a dedication to training and mentoring others who are serious about deepening their commitment to healing and moving forward in their lives.
The intent of her Apprenticeships and Soul Retrieval Trainings is to develop a community of healers and practitioners committed to bringing shamanic principles into the 21st century. Her book, The Co-Creation Handbook, gives readers the tools to create and manifest their highest aspirations and goals in harmony with guidance from their helping spirits.
