| Golden Deer Stories for Transformation, Healing and Blessing Holistic Healing and Shamanic Mentoring Joan Marie Mickelson Holistic and Shamanic Practitioner |
The stories we tell ourselves influence
health and healing.
- New stories can create new realities; bring
about change, transformation, and restoration.
- Through creation and the Imagination we access
the Divine within.
- Our minds, bodies and spirits communicate
through metaphor.
Ancient and traditional forms of spiritual healing can
compliment contemporary medical treatment and
diagnosis. For more information, read How Do Stories
Heal?
Joan Marie Mickelson, holistic practitioner living in

Holistic healing sessions
Joan Marie works with the spiritual aspect of illness
through restoration of depleted power and energy,
recovery of depleted or lost soul essence, and removal
of blockages. She does this through access to the
Imagination, the invisible underlying reality, with help
from her compassionate spiritual guides. Joan Marie
will access the parallel, imaginal or hidden reality and
guide you in a visualization of the story she receives.
She may also incorporate energetic modalities,
Healing Touch, Esoteric Healing and Craniosacral into
the Holistic Healing Sessions .
Private instruction in integrated shamanic and
holistic healing
In ancient days, the shamans were storytellers.
Folktales recount adventures of shamans who
journeyed through spiritual realms on quests for
healing. By using their imaginations shamans entered
non-ordinary reality in their spiritual bodies. With the
help of their spiritual guides, they rode the deer, flew
with the eagle, or followed the bear. Shamans brought
back stories that communicated health and healing for
members of the community. For more information
