Intuitive healing sessions with Dr. Amy Kelchner
Dr. Amy Kelchner offers intuitive healing sessions designed to help individuals move beyond symptom relief and reconnect with their deepest sources of wisdom and healing. With decades of experience in naturopathic medicine, somatic therapy, and shamanic healing, her approach integrates multiple healing modalities to address the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.

By creating a space for deep listening and transformation, Dr. Kelchner helps clients release old patterns, reclaim their personal power, and step into a more authentic, empowered way of being.
The Role of Shamanic Healing in the Healing Process
For many, healing is not just about addressing physical symptoms—it is a deeply spiritual journey. From a shamanic perspective, true healing involves restoring wholeness by addressing the root spiritual causes of imbalance. Dr. Kelchner works with clients to explore these deeper aspects of healing, using shamanic practices such as soul retrieval, power retrieval, and energetic clearing to bring profound shifts in well-being.
One of the most powerful tools in shamanic healing is the shamanic journey, a guided meditation that allows individuals to access non-ordinary reality for problem-solving and deep transformation. Using rhythmic drumming or rattling, clients can enter a dreamlike state where they communicate with spirit guides, ancestors, and the natural world to receive insights and healing. This practice helps people restore lost aspects of themselves, release energies that do not belong to them, and reconnect with their innate wisdom and strength.
Understanding the Spiritual Causes of Illness
From a shamanic perspective, illness often has spiritual roots that must be addressed for full healing to occur. There are three main causes of spiritual imbalance:
Soul Loss: When a person experiences trauma—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—a part of their soul may dissociate in order to survive the experience. This can lead to feelings of emptiness, depression, chronic disconnection, and a lack of direction. In Western psychology, this phenomenon is recognized as dissociation. In shamanic healing, soul retrieval is used to track down and restore these lost soul parts, bringing individuals back to a place of wholeness and vitality.
Power Loss: Many traditional cultures believe that each person is born with spirit guides or guardian energies that provide protection and support. Losing connection with these personal allies can result in feelings of powerlessness, chronic fatigue, depression, and a deep sense of loneliness. Through power retrieval, Dr. Kelchner helps clients reconnect with their spiritual allies—whether they appear as power animals, ancestral spirits, or angelic beings—restoring a sense of inner strength and protection.
Energetic Intrusion: Over time, people can accumulate energies that do not belong to them. These may come from negative thought patterns, unresolved emotions, or even the projections of others. When the body's energy field is compromised due to soul loss or power loss, these intrusions can settle in, leading to chronic pain, illness, or emotional distress. Energetic extraction is a shamanic practice used to clear these intrusions, allowing the person’s own energy to flow freely once again.
A Fully Integrative Healing Approach
Shamanic healing works beautifully when combined with other holistic modalities that support the body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Kelchner draws on her expertise in:
Naturopathic Medicine: Herbal remedies, homeopathy, and nutritional guidance to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Somatic Therapy & Bodywork: Craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and Reiki to release stored trauma and restore balance to the nervous system.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: A method of working with different parts of the self to resolve internal conflicts and promote emotional healing.
Ceremony & Ritual: Personalized practices to support transformation, including guided journeys, fire ceremonies, and nature-based rituals.
