"I was sexually abused by my father from the time I was a baby until puberty when he went to jail for other reasons. Not until I was 18, did I start to consciously and vividly relive my sexual abuse. I was 21 when I confronted my mother with the abuse; she denied everything- and said I made it up. I spent years doubting myself, my memories and my own visceral reactions. I lived in a constant depression and didn't have any idea how to really explore what happened to me. I started seeing a therapist. Talking helped, but it wasn't enough. Then at the age of 23, I had my first shamanic session. Sariantra was amazing on so many levels. She not only helped me call back in so many of my shattered parts, but she taught and empowered me to help myself. I was not only a client, but I was also a student of Sariantra's. This seemed critical in living my healing: in taking charge of my patterns, of stopping my victim story. I went to realms I didn't even know existed, and met with parts of me I didn't even know I had lost.I learned to see how I was perpetuating my own pain. Sariantra helped me heal so many aspects of my life including not just my relationship with my family and my abuser, but with husband, my friends, and most importantly myself. I also learned to take responsibility for my own energy and my own life. I' m learning to trust myself again: to trust my body, my memories, my intuition. I am truly grateful for all the help that I have received. It is a life long process, which is why learning tools to help myself has been so important. This is not an easy process, but it is made manageable with the help of a good support network as well as a loving and dedicated practitioners such as Sariantra. There are so many of us who have suffered through sexual abuse, there is no reason to be alone in it. We must help each other heal."

"Physically, the pain I have had for years around my tailbone is gone. Hooray! I have become more aware of my physical body and where I hold stress chronically. Non-physically, I have noticed a more clear and centered feeling in my heart and in my central core. My bits and parts that are now re-joined are shedding a lot in insight for me about the way I lead my life, what is important to me, how to be more joyful, more simple, set better boundaries, and care for myself in a way that truly nurtures me."

"The doors you have opened for me, and the healing that has been done, mean more than I can express. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"After a session I feel a sense of wholeness, peace and more rested and focused."

"The treatment helped significantly shift a major obstacle in my life. Sariantra's power and conviction to heal was palpable and proved to successfully guide me to a great transformation."

"After my second session I went to the doctor for other reasons. The doctors noticed a stronger pulse and better color in my skin."

Pets

"My cat, Margot, had been suffering from bladder pain of an unknown cause. We’d had all of the lab work done, but the doctors couldn’t find a reason for her suffering. I turned to Sariantra and Spirit for help. It was suggested to Sariantra by Spirit to put Margot on cranberry pills and milk thistle. Within two days of starting the supplements, she was a whole new cat. She wasn’t crying in the litter box anymore and she had newfound energy."

"I got my dog, Winter, while I was working at the Humane Society. She’d been abused and neglected. We also found out later that she had a BB lodged in her ear. The poor dog had been shot! She’s always been very nervous around strangers, and in particular, men. At our wedding, which was held at our favorite campsite, Winter was a wreck. She was pacing around the group of people looking as nervous as could be. Sariantra, who was also our officiant, suggested doing some quick shamanic work on her to see if that would help. Boy did it. Right after the treatment she was going up to people and “introducing” herself. I couldn’t believe what my sweet, little, nervous dog was doing."

Monthly Journey Circle

"I also attend Sariantra’s journey circles which are held once a month. I have journeyed to far off places and am finding answers while journeying to questions I have. The whole group works together in helping each other with our questions or what we feel we want to work on. Often, the answers are out there, or inside of us, and we are unable to connect with them for one reason or another. I find her journey circle exciting and memorable. Thanks Sariantra."

Classes

"I really enjoyed Sariantra’s introductory class on Shamanism and Journeying. I learned a lot about how Spirit works and how to work with it, respectfully. Before I learned to Journey from Sariantra, I had vivid dreams every night. I often had 4-6 dreams PER NIGHT that I would remember very clearly. I was never rested and always exhausted. After I learned to Journey, the dreams went away! When I asked Sariantra what this meant, she said that she felt that Spirit had been trying to connect with me, all these years and that the only way it could get through to me was through dreaming! Now I wake rested, because I have my conversations with Spirit while I’m awake!"

Weddings and Celebrations
	"Sariantra did a beautiful job officiating our wedding. She was SO helpful in writing our own vows and making it fit us. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted."
