Who is Ann Rene?

Hello beautiful soul! I would like to take a moment to share a bit about myself and my journey along the shamanic path.

I am a neurodiverse, queer, shamanic practitioner with over thirty years of professional experience within the healing arts. My healing work is, and always has been, a sacred calling. It is an act of divine love expressed from the essence of my heart, my soul song.

Here I will speak briefly and in general terms regarding my shamanic journey, as most of my experiences are deeply private and sacredly sealed. And quite frankly, with the human language being so limiting, there truly are no words to describe the bulk of the journey anyway.

I began walking the shamanic path as a child, not knowing, being able to name, or cognitively understand what was happening. The experience was tactilely, viscerally, visibly, and obviously orchestrated by Spirit. You see, I was born with total recall and all of my clairsenses fully activated. Each step along my shamanic path of training and preparation was divinely guided by Spirit. I always felt called to the path, deeply pulled, as there was never a choice, the unfolding of it all simply was a part of me.

Much of my training and preparation occurred within the nonordinary worlds, particularly early on. As I grew into adulthood, Spirit led me to teachers and written materials within the ordinary world. All of which substantiated what had come before within the nonordinary worlds. I simultaneously began what would become well over a decade of study with various shamans around the globe. I traveled to remote locations without question. Many times, being dropped down into the middle of “nowhere”, with no running water or electricity, and no established roads in or out of the area for miles. And the entirety of the study, training, and preparation being oral and ceremonial in nature, there were no books or notes taken. There were no recordings or three-day westernized crash course weekends. No. I spent weeks at a time submerged within the essence of Shamanism.

I am deeply humbled by, and eternally grateful to, all my teachers within the ordinary and nonordinary worlds.

Additionally, I have many trainings and certifications that allow me to provide great flexibility in facilitating your healing journey. I do not take the gift of your trust in me lightly. It is a profound honor. This is exactly why I do everything in my power to create a sacred space during our time together. All I offer is done so from love. For that is the most powerful energy that exists. I specialize in supporting you, beautiful soul, in holistically reclaiming life as sacred.
