What is a Power Retrieval?
Are there times when you feel powerless and unable to face life’s challenges?
Life asks a lot of us at times and most of us have experienced a loss of personal power at some point. Sometimes it’s given away to keep the peace (and without meaning too), sometimes it’s taken when you feel powerless in the face of difficult situations, conflict, bullying, relationships, prolonged stress, or trauma.
There may even be times when you give your power away internally, through overthinking and self-criticism, which can make it hard to trust yourself or move forward with clarity. Modern life can further drain personal power, pulling our attention in countless directions with work, relationships, distractions, and social media doom-scrolling, drawing us away from our own inner rhythm and agency.
Loss of personal power can leave you feeling scattered, drained, disconnected from your direction, or unsure of your place in the world, even when life appears to be functioning on the surface. It may even show up as low energy, self-doubt, difficulty making decisions, or a persistent sense of not belonging.
A Power Retrieval is a shamanic healing practice that supports the return and reintegration of lost power (energy), restoring your vitality, inner strength, agency and confidence, helping you meet life with greater resilience and self-trust.
You can think of power retrieval as recharging a flat battery, powering you so you can begin living life with more vitality and aliveness.
"Power is the energy that allows us to shape our lives with clarity and intention"
- Alberto Villoldo Shamanic Author and Teacher
The Effects of Power Retrieval
The effects of a Power Retrieval vary from person to person. Many people report feeling more energised, confident, and able to take action, alongside increased motivation, stronger boundaries, and a renewed sense of personal authority.
Rather than pushing or forcing change, a Power Retrieval restores the energy required to meet life from a place of strength, and agency. As power returns, many people feel more resourced in the face of lifes challenges, with a greater ability to respond without collapsing, over-giving, or shutting down.
At its core, this work restores access to your personal power, supporting you to inhabit your body, choices, and life more fully. It is about reclaiming the energy that allows you to act, decide, create, and live in alignment with who you are.
You might imagine this process like a dry sponge being placed back into water, slowly absorbing nourishment and expanding again, restoring vitality where there was once depletion.

Client Love
I was feeling drained and out of sorts earlier this year, particularly from too many stresses and strains. It was suggested I try a healing technique called "Power Retrieval." I decided to work with Fionn for a "Distance" version of this. Fionn discussed my goals and concerns, and we agreed on a time for the power retrieval journey and a follow-up discussion. The journey she described was profound. She saw my power animal and detailed a state I longed to return to. While I didn't feel anything immediately, in the following days, weeks, and months, I experienced a significant increase in energy, drive, and even became pregnant! This session helped me get unstuck, and the journey's details resonated with me deeply, inspiring dreams and images. It felt like Spirit motivated me to reclaim my power. Definitely worth trying, and I would use this technique again for future challenges.
