Virtual Shamanic Healing with Devin Ryback
Online spiritual and energetic healing for people seeking deep inner change
Sometimes the healing you need is not only mental.
You may understand your patterns.
You may have talked through your story.
You may have tried to think your way into change.
And still, something deeper may feel unresolved.
You may feel heavy, blocked, disconnected, spiritually unclear, emotionally burdened, or unable to return fully to yourself. You may sense that old experiences, relationship patterns, grief, fear, family wounds, or life transitions are still living somewhere in your body, mind, energy, or spirit.
This is where shamanic healing can be helpful.
Shamanic healing is a form of spiritual and energetic healing that works beyond ordinary conversation. It is not only about analyzing the problem. It is about entering a deeper relationship with your inner world, your energy, your spirit, and the parts of you that may be calling for healing, clearing, retrieval, release, or reconnection.
I offer virtual shamanic healing sessions by video call and phone for people who feel called to deeper spiritual healing.
My work may be a good fit if you are seeking support with:
Feeling spiritually blocked, heavy, disconnected, or unclear
Emotional pain that has not fully resolved through ordinary processing
Repeating relationship, family, or life patterns
Grief, loss, heartbreak, or difficult life transitions
Feeling disconnected from joy, purpose, intuition, or your true self
Energetic sensitivity or feeling affected by other people’s emotions
A sense that something old is ready to be released
A desire for spiritual guidance, clearing, healing, and integration
Returning to clarity, presence, inner safety, and wholeness
You do not need to fully understand what is happening before reaching out.
Often, the deeper part of you already knows there is something ready to shift.
What is shamanic healing?
Shamanic healing is a spiritual healing practice rooted in the understanding that human beings are more than physical bodies and thinking minds.
We are also energetic, emotional, intuitive, relational, and spiritual beings.
From a shamanic perspective, pain and imbalance may arise not only from what happened externally, but from what became fragmented, blocked, protected, lost, or burdened internally.
A shamanic healing session may involve working with energy, imagery, intuition, inner guidance, spiritual perception, the body’s wisdom, and the deeper intelligence of the soul.
The purpose is not to impose beliefs on you.
The purpose is to help you reconnect with what is true, clear, whole, alive, and available within you.
My approach to shamanic healing
My approach to shamanic healing is intuitive, grounded, compassionate, and deeply personalized.
I have studied and practiced spiritual healing, mindfulness, energy awareness, and shamanic work since 2012. Over the years, I have developed my ability to perceive and direct energy, listen deeply, and help people work with the subtle dimensions of healing that are not always reached through ordinary conversation alone.
In my work, shamanic healing may include:
Energetic clearing
Spiritual guidance
Intuitive healing work
Guided inner journeying
Emotional release
Subconscious and symbolic healing
Reconnection with lost or exiled parts of self
Support for grounding, protection, and energetic boundaries
Integration after difficult or transformative experiences
Calling in clarity, presence, strength, and soul-level support
Working with teachers, guides, and helper spirits
Every session is different because every person is different.
I do not use a rigid formula. I listen to what is present, what your system is showing, and what kind of healing appears to be needed.
Some sessions are quiet and subtle.
Some sessions are emotional.
Some sessions bring insight.
Some bring release.
Some help you feel more grounded, protected, and connected to yourself.
The work is spiritual, but it is also practical. The goal is not to have an unusual experience for its own sake. The goal is to help you become more whole, clear, present, and free in your life.
A note on the word “shamanic”
I use the term “shamanic healing” because many people use this language when searching for spiritual healing, energy healing, soul healing, and deeper forms of transformational inner work.
My work is not a claim to represent every Indigenous, ancestral, or traditional shamanic lineage. I approach this work with humility, respect, and sincerity.
In practice, my sessions are best understood as spiritual and energetic healing sessions informed by shamanic principles, intuitive perception, mindfulness, hypnotherapy-adjacent inner work, and years of personal spiritual practice.
The heart of the work is simple:
to help you return to yourself.
What virtual shamanic healing can help with
People seek online shamanic healing for many reasons. Some arrive with a specific issue. Others simply know that something in their life feels misaligned, heavy, or ready to change.
Spiritual disconnection
You may feel disconnected from your intuition, your heart, your inner knowing, your spiritual path, or the deeper meaning of your life.
Shamanic healing can help you slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with the part of you that still knows the way.
Energetic heaviness or blockage
Some people feel as though they are carrying something that is not fully theirs, or that old energy is still attached to a person, place, relationship, memory, or season of life.
A session may support energetic clearing, grounding, protection, and release so your system can feel more spacious and clear.
Emotional wounds and unresolved pain
Not every emotional wound resolves through insight alone.
Sometimes pain remains held in the body, the nervous system, the subconscious mind, or the energy field. Shamanic healing may help you meet these deeper layers with compassion and allow old pain to move, soften, or transform.
Feeling stuck or unable to move forward
You may feel caught between who you have been and who you are becoming.
This can happen during life transitions, after loss, during spiritual awakening, after burnout, or when an old identity no longer fits.
Shamanic healing can support the process of release, reconnection, and inner realignment.
Relationship and family patterns
Some patterns do not begin with us.
You may be carrying emotional, energetic, or relational imprints from family systems, childhood experiences, ancestral patterns, or old relationship wounds.
In session, we may work with the deeper roots of these patterns so you can begin relating to yourself and others with more freedom.
Sensitive, empathic, or intuitive people
If you are highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or spiritually open, you may need support learning how to stay grounded, clear, and connected to yourself.
Shamanic healing can help you strengthen your energetic boundaries, listen to your inner guidance, and stop absorbing what is not yours to carry.
Returning to joy and your true self
Sometimes healing is not about solving a single problem.
Sometimes it is about remembering who you are beneath the fear, conditioning, grief, pressure, and old survival patterns.
This work can help you return to clarity, presence, joy, and a more authentic relationship with Life.
How virtual shamanic healing works
All shamanic healing sessions with me are now offered virtually by video call or phone.
Spiritual and energetic healing does not require us to be in the same physical room. Many people are able to enter deep, meaningful healing work from the comfort and privacy of their own home.
Virtual sessions can be especially supportive because you remain in your own space. You can prepare your environment, sit or lie down comfortably, and have time afterward to rest and integrate without needing to travel.
To prepare for a virtual shamanic healing session, I recommend:
Choose a quiet, private space
Use headphones if possible
Sit or recline comfortably
Have water nearby
Keep a journal close if you like to write after sessions
Give yourself time afterward for rest and reflection
Avoid scheduling something demanding immediately after the session
Video sessions are often ideal, but phone sessions can also work well.
What happens in a session
Each session is guided by your needs, but the general flow usually includes:
We begin with conversation about what you are seeking support with.
We clarify your intention for the session.
I help you settle, ground, and become more present.
I work intuitively with your energy, inner imagery, emotional patterns, and spiritual guidance.
You may be invited to notice sensations, images, memories, emotions, or inner responses.
We allow the healing process to unfold at the pace your system can receive.
We close gently and discuss integration.
You do not need to know how to “do” shamanic healing.
You do not need previous spiritual experience.
You do not need to visualize perfectly.
You only need sincerity, openness, and a willingness to listen inwardly.
What you may experience
Every person experiences this work differently.
During or after a session, you may notice:
A sense of lightness or spaciousness
Emotional release
Increased clarity
Tingling, warmth, heaviness, or subtle body sensations
A feeling of being more grounded
Memories, images, symbols, or insights arising
A sense of reconnection with yourself
Fatigue or the need to rest
Dreams or continued processing after the session
Sometimes the shift is immediate.
Sometimes it unfolds gradually over days or weeks.
Healing does not always look dramatic. Sometimes the deepest changes are quiet at first.
Is virtual shamanic healing right for you?
This work may be a good fit if:
You feel genuinely called to spiritual or energetic healing
You are open-minded but grounded
You are willing to participate in your own healing process
You are seeking deeper change, not only surface-level advice
You want support that honors body, mind, emotion, energy, and spirit
You are ready to release old patterns and reconnect with yourself
You want to feel clearer, lighter, more present, and more aligned
This work may not be the right fit if:
You want someone to fix you without your participation
You are looking for entertainment, spectacle, or a dramatic spiritual experience
You are currently in acute crisis and need emergency care
You need medical, psychiatric, or licensed mental health treatment in place of spiritual support
Shamanic healing is not a replacement for medical care, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, medication, or emergency services.
If you are currently working with a medical or mental health provider, please continue doing so. Spiritual healing can be supportive, but it should not replace appropriate professional care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can shamanic healing be done virtually?
Yes. My shamanic healing sessions are now offered virtually by video call or phone. Because this work is spiritual, intuitive, and energetic in nature, it does not require physical proximity in the same way a hands-on bodywork session would.
A quiet, private space and sincere participation are more important than location.
What is the difference between shamanic healing and energy healing?
The two can overlap.
Energy healing often focuses on clearing, balancing, and supporting the energetic system. Shamanic healing may also include spiritual guidance, inner journeying, symbolic work, soul-level healing, clearing, protection, reconnection, and intuitive communication with deeper aspects of the self.
In my work, these approaches are integrated rather than rigidly separated.
Is shamanic healing religious?
No. You do not need to follow any religion to receive shamanic healing.
My work is spiritual, but not dogmatic. You are welcome whether you have a clear spiritual path, are spiritually curious, or simply feel drawn to deeper healing.
Do I need to believe in shamanic healing for it to work?
You do not need to force belief.
Openness is more important than belief.
You can come with curiosity, sincerity, and a willingness to notice what happens in your own experience.
What if I do not know exactly what I need healing for?
That is completely fine.
Many people begin with a feeling: stuckness, heaviness, grief, confusion, disconnection, or the sense that something is ready to change.
We can begin there.
Will I lose control during the session?
No.
You remain aware and in control throughout the session. You can speak, ask questions, pause, or stop at any time.
The work is collaborative. I guide and support the process, but your autonomy is always respected.
How many sessions will I need?
Some people benefit from one session, especially when working with a clear intention.
For deeper patterns, life transitions, or ongoing spiritual healing, a series of sessions may be more supportive.
During your free consultation, we can discuss what feels appropriate for you.
Can shamanic healing help with trauma?
Shamanic healing may support emotional and spiritual healing around old experiences, but it is not a substitute for trauma therapy or licensed mental health care.
If you have a complex trauma history, are currently unstable, or are receiving mental health treatment, we can discuss whether this work is appropriate alongside your existing support.
Do you still offer shamanic healing in Ithaca, New York?
I am based in New York, but my shamanic healing sessions are now offered exclusively online by video call or phone. You do not need to be located in Ithaca to work with me.
