Shacapa Healing
Restoring Balance and Harmony
1:1 sessions in person in Berkshire
Compost What You are Carrying
The Shacapa is one of the most ancient healing tools of the Amazon rainforest. A bundle of dry leaves from the Pariana plant, it creates a soft rustling sound as it is rhythmically shaken, often described as the whisper of the jungle or the breath of the forest.
​
Combined with the healing melodies of the Icaros and other shamanic tools, the Shacapa can be used to cleanse, clear and restore the energetic field, release what has become heavy or dense, and bring the body and energy back into balance.
​
This way of working isn’t new, these technologies have been used for generations, and their place in modern healing feels as relevant as ever.
​
There are two ways to work with this medicine, each drawing on the Shacapa and other shamanic tools, but with a different focus and intentions:
​
LIGHTER LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
Compost What You Are Carrying
Working with the Hucha Stones and Shacapa to clear heavy and dense energy, restore balance and sow new seeds of joy and lightness.

SOUL CLEANSE
An Energetic Shower for Your Soul
A specific soul-cleansing practice held through the Shacapa and a soul-cleansing Icaro.

Client Love
This was my very first session with Fionn and it was a fantastic experience. The whole session was calming, from walking into the room filled with gorgeous smells and calming lights to Fionn's soothing voice as I lay on the softest blanket and allowed myself to be taken into a relaxing dream. I felt my body change throughout the ritual, a lightness I had never experienced before. Afterwards, I felt this incredible shift in my body. It had held years of tension and energy, and now my arms and legs felt relaxed and light. That tension had come to feel so normal, I had no idea my body wasn't meant to feel that way. Fionn is amazing and intuitively knows what you need. I highly recommend her work.

The Shacapa is one of the most ancient healing tools of the Amazon rainforest. A bundle of dry leaves from the Pariana plant. As it is rhythmically shaken, it emits a soft rustling sound, often described as the whisper of the jungle, or the breath of the forest, the sound deepening your breath, your body exhaling and relaxing. Combined with the healing melody of the icaros, it soothes and restores harmony, and space, clarity and peace return.
How the Shacapa & Hucha Stones work
​​
The Shacapa is one of the most ancient healing technologies of the Amazon rainforest used by Curanderos in the Amazon, a bundle of leaves from the Periana plant, known natively as Chiriza, that creates a soft rustling sound, like wind through trees when shaken, a sound your body recognises immediately and begins to soften.
​
The Hucha Stones are volcanic stones from the Andes, carrying the weight and density of the earth itself. Hucha is the Quechua word for heavy, stuck energy, the grief that never moved, the shame you stopped naming, the weight that built up and stayed. The stones work with that, drawing it out in a way that feels both subtle and undeniable, returning it to the earth, to Pachamama, who knows exactly what to do with it.
​
The work can also include the removal of virote, energetic darts held within the energetic field. These can come through the words, judgements and projections of others, as well as the words and negative stories we repeatedly direct towards ourselves. Other shamanic tools can be woven into the work depending on what is present and what is needed.
​
Icaros are also sung as part of this work, an ancient technology of sound, voice and intention. Some from the lineage I carry, some my own medicine songs, with the Icaro and intention depending on the focus of the session.
Lighter Looks good on you
Compost what you are carrying
This is a 60-minute session specifically focused on releasing hucha, the heavy, dense energy and emotional weight you've been carrying.
​
Resentment, shame, guilt, blame, disappointment, suppressed sadness. We begin with the Shacapa, loosening what's held tight in the body and energy field. Then we bring in the Hucha Stones to go deeper, to draw out what is waiting to be released and return it to the earth for composting and transformation.
​
Medicine songs and Icaros are sung throughout the session, both from this lineage and my own songs.
​
The session may also include the removal of virotes, energetic darts held within your field from the words, judgements and projections of others as well as the words and negative stories we repeatedly direct towards ourselves.
​
We finish with the Shacapa again, to sow new seeds, rebalance and restore.
​
People often leave lighter, with things shifting in ways they didn’t expect.
​
My own experience was profound. I went in heavy with overthinking, everything feeling hard, and I asked for joy and flow to return. A few days later I found myself planting seeds for the future with a lightness I'd forgotten, the realisation landing that building something new is actually fun. That was the gift.

Soul Cleanse
An Energetic Shower for Your Soul
Soul Cleanse is a 60-minute shamanic healing session, working with the Spirit Doctors, the Shacapa, Hucha Stones, medicine songs and other shamanic tools to cleanse the soul and energetic field.
​
This particular session draws its power from a Soul Cleanse Icaro, a medicine song that cleanses the soul.
The session may also include the removal of virotes, energetic darts held within your field from the words, judgements and projections of others as well as the words and negative stories we repeatedly direct towards ourselves.
The Shacapa is worked through the energetic field, while Hucha Stones and other shamanic tools are woven in depending on what is present and what is needed.
​
This is a refreshing shamanic session to clear out the energetic cobwebs, the things we pick up, carry and accumulate simply through moving through life.
Soul Cleanse can be experienced as spiritual maintenance, a periodic tune-up for your energetic self, or simply when you feel the need for a really good energetic clear-out.
​
Come clear the energetic cobwebs and set your soul free.
