As I progress towards my shamanic practitioner qualification I am offering free and student rate shamanic healing sessions.

Power Animal Retrieval
In shamanic cultures around the world each person has one or more power animals or guardians spirits who help us to connect with nature and the spirit worlds and provide a source of personal power. Without these spirits we experience power loss and a sense of disconnection. In a power animal retrieval a journey to the spirit world is undertaken to find a power animal and reunite them with the client thus restoring lost vitality.

Soul Retrieval
Soul retrieval is a healing for soul loss. This is brought by trauma. During a traumatic event a part of our soul can depart from our bodies to escape the pain and protect the whole. We can also consciously or unconsciously send soul parts away. The main symptom is not feeling present or feeling like part of you is missing. Others include lost memories, recurring dreams and disassociation. In a soul retrieval a journey to the spirit world is undertaken to retrieve the find the lost soul parts and negotiate their return.

Soul Exchange
As we move through our lives and in and out of relationships we can pick up from and lose parts of our souls to other persons. This includes family, friends, lovers, pets, groups and organisations. Through soul exchange the parts are returned to both parties and any unhealthy attachments (represented by cords) are cut or severed. It is possible for this process to be used to heal relationships between the living and the dead.

Shamanic Energy Healing (including extraction)
From a shamanic perspective pain and illness are caused by blocked and congealed energy and by intrusions of negative energy into our energy bodies. In a shamanic healing session stuck energies are moved and transformed and any energies that don’t belong to us are safely extracted. This work differs from other forms of energy healing in that the practitioner works in a shamanic trance state under the guidance of spirit guides and helpers and uses traditional shamanic tools such as a drum and rattle.

Healings take around 2 hours in total (a 30 minute online interview and a 1 hour 30 minute healing). Sessions can take place online or in person (for those in Central Lancashire). For those in different time zones I can offer an email interview and distance healing with an email summary and voice recording.
For a free informal discussion contact: lornasmithers81@gmail.com
Please note I am insured and under supervision.

Testimonials
‘Lorna is an amazing healer. Very intuitive and I felt a very strong connection like she was in the room with me. Lots of very strong physical movements and sensations within my body. I will definitely be booking further Shamanic Healing sessions with Lorna. Thank you Lorna for making such a difference to my problematic gut health symptoms and for guiding me so intuitively on how to continue to continue to heal my gut myself.’

‘Lorna Smithers is an authentic practitioner of the liminal arts. She brings her deep Brythonic connections and knowledge of lore into her healing work. I hoped for augmented help for a very serious illness for which I am under conventional treatment; I have been very pleased with the results. She ended up doing a soul retrieval as well, which provided tremendous insight into the disease’s origins, and helped me reset my orientation to it, something of great value. I was impressed that the healing was done at a distance, yet felt so impactful. She made careful recordings, which I find myself replaying, and has provided further feedback afterwards.’

‘This was a remote shamanic energy healing session as I was unable to attend an in-person session due to work commitments. I received an information sheet and an interview form which allowed me to spend time explaining why I needed the healing session and what I wanted from it. After submitting the interview form we discussed a time for the remote session, so that I was aware it was happening but not actually taking part. I then received a voice recording and written description of the healing session. The voice recording was really useful, as I was able to choose a perfect time and place to listen to it when I was at my most relaxed. At first I wondered whether an “after the event” recording would work for me and I’m very pleased to say it worked perfectly – I’d choose this process again. A week or so after the session Lorna got in touch to find out how things had gone. One of the two issues had almost gone away and the other had to be worked on a bit more as it was a longer term issue, but that is beginning to resolve itself now thanks to some clarifications that Lorna gave. In summary, the healing session actually worked out better than I had expected of a remote healing and I’d definitely opt for this process again.’

‘I found the soul retrieval session to be so powerful. I was curious to know how it would work, and what pieces of my soul, if any, would be found. I particularly liked that Lorna and I journeyed together. I had a sense of being accompanied, and I found it fascinating to communicate throughout the journey, recounting what we each were experiencing. I feel this helped to make the journey much more vivid for me, and gave a sense of safety and security. It was quite moving to have soul fragments reclaimed and then blown back into me again. I have done a lot of personal development in recent years, and so this aligns with some of the other work I have been doing. I feel that I had the capacity to then reflect on what these soul fragments might mean for me. Throughout the session I felt comfortable and safe. Everything was explained clearly and there was sufficient time after the journey to then reflect on it. Thank you!’
~ C Farish, Lancashire, UK (July 2025)
‘I sought help from Lorna when I realized wounds from a former friendship were still affecting my spiritual life, including my relationship with my Patron God. She was able to recommend two shamanic healings that would help – a power animal retrieval and a soul exchange. Through several meetings we completed the work I had asked for. I appreciate how much time and care Lorna puts into her spiritual work, and into caring for each client; I always felt heard, and never rushed. During the journeys themselves, Lorna gave me a wonderful blend of agency and support, and I appreciated her insight about things that had happened while we were in otherworldly spaces. With the work complete, I feel a lot more closure with that former friendship, and I’ve found a new closeness with my Patron God.’
~ Thornsilver Hollysong, San Francisco, US (July 2025)
‘I’m really grateful for the opportunity to have a soul retrieval. I’ve recently experienced some trauma in my life that I had a feeling had caused a soul part to leave. Lorna explained everything to me very carefully and I felt fully prepared for the healing treatment. She journeyed for me and spoke this out loud for me to follow (at my request). What came back to me was then integrated with sensitivity and advice was given. I felt calm and peaceful throughout and much happier since. Thank you!’
~ Emma, Lancashire, UK (June 2025)
‘I am so grateful to Lorna for the soul retrieval session – it has really helped me to understand myself more deeply. She is very calm and intuitive, which made the experience very relaxing, and I felt safe and at ease throughout. The session answered a lot of questions helping to heal past events. I am now feeling more centred and confident going forward. I thoroughly recommend the soul retrieval sessions – a wonderful experience!’
~ HK, Buckinghamshire, (June, 2025)
‘I had a soul retrieval with Lorna who had described the process in advance of the session. I felt very honoured as two soul parts returned. I wasn’t expecting to feel quite so excited or emotional about the experience and I’m so glad I had the session as since then, I have felt an energy shift and I feel more whole and more positive. Many thanks.’
