The Venus Studio

People consult with modern day shamanic practitioners for practical solutions to problems in everyday life-from personal illness, work-life balance, or family and ancestral issues.

At The Venus Studio, Kim draws from these ancient practices and integrates it with art, body work and life coaching to bring about your inner beauty and light to shine like Venus!

My experience with Kim, as a practitioner, artist, and safe space, was deeply meaningful and sacred. Her ability to gently and lovingly inquire, guide, and encourage is such a special gift. One that can’t be taught. It’s an authenticity that comes from empathy, wisdom, a healer’s heart. Her shamanic process feels deep, yet safe. What emerges is complex, yet clear. The kind of discovery that gives you plenty to work with, journal about, meditate on, practice, and journey with. That her art commemorates and memorializes the process is the gift of a lifetime. The painting provides me what words cannot: connection, inspiration, healing, comfort...a sacred reminder of where I’ve been, what I’ve healed, and the call to keep going.

Shamanic Healing Sessions

Shamanic healing sessions can be done indoors or out in nature. In your 1:1 shamanic healing session with Kim she will start by talking with you about your present situation or life experience that you want to address in the session. When indoors you may rest comfortably on a massage table on your back or side or may sit comfortably in a chair. Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed other than shoes. Loose, comfortable clothing is suggested. Then based on what comes up as the focus of the session, she will journey on your behalf while you relax in a calm and meditative state.

Before any healing session she will open Sacred Space, calling in the Four Directions, Earth and Heaven. This creates a stable, safe environment in which to work. A session would typically include Kim “tracking” or noticing, any energies in the client’s energy field that don’t belong there. She might use her hands above the client’s body to sense these energies, and sometimes will also use a rattle or drum in the session. Feathers, pendulums, crystals, sage or palo santo are other healing tools that might be used in a healing session. Kim will simply act as the connection between you and your guides in the other realms. You might feel one or all of the following during the session: a warming sensation or a tingling, an emotional release, the actual energy itself flowing through and/or around your body. You may also feel heat radiating from the practitioners hands or experience nothing at all but deep relaxation.

When appropriate, Kim will share the healing information she received specifically for you from the Spirit guides. You may bring a journal to take notes. After the healing Kim may discuss with you any practices, techniques, or lifestyle changes that may be helpful to support the healing process and help anchor and integrate the healing that has been received. You may also wish to learn tools for continuing the healing process and consciously shifting energy.

Journey Soul Portrait

Shamanic journeying is the inner art of traveling to the invisible worlds beyond ordinary reality in order to retrieve information for change in any area of our lives, from spirituality and health to work and relationships.

Kim will do a shamanic healing session with you that will involve a journey. Based on the images she sees in the journey she does on your behalf she will create a unique, one of a kind, personal work of art for you. See recent work.

Many times the images are for healing, reconciliation, dreams and visions for your future. When these images are solidified into paint on a canvas for you it takes hold in this 3D reality and can help you manifest more fully that healing, peacefulness, vision, or hopes and dreams for your future.

These works are a reminder and a doorway to what we truly are, beyond our ordinary lives. Each painting is an altar, an invitation to remember who we are and live our best life.

It is not very different from creating a ‘vision board’ except this one goes deeper into your unconscious and may find spirit guides that may show us something we weren’t consciously aware of and bring it to light to help clarify and guide you to something that will allow you to grow and prosper personally and spiritually.

Includes:

  • Approx. 60-minute shamanic healing session

  • Custom painting done by Kim, representing your personalized journey

  • Follow-up session to pick up/deliver your Soul Portrait and integrate the messages and meanings that are within it for you. Approximately 30 minutes
