The space where the light gets in

“Lacuna” is a gap, a space for Your potential.

A place to bridge the void between where you are now and where you want to be.

Through Andean traditional healing methods, storytelling techniques, and the beauty of meaningful ceremony,

rediscover the potential of harmony within.

Hi, I'm Sara, your shamanic practitioner & guide.

The core of my practice is grounded in the healing tradition of the Qanchi Machu people of Peru, a path that provides the wisdom of ancient healing techniques and a deep connection to the spiritual world. This foundational training is integrated with my experience in narrative medicine, yoga, dream tending, and community stewardship. My practice is built on a blend of empathy, lifelong spiritual study, and a deep respect for the individual paths of those seeking guidance.

Are you ready?

"I was a little apprehensive about doing something like this because I’ve never done anything like it before and wasn’t sure if I’d actually get any benefit from it.

But after doing one session with Sara, I was blown away by the experience. She was very intuitive with the things that she said and gave me some new perspectives about what I was dealing with. At one point she said something that struck such a cord that the entire right side of my body lit up.

Her insights shed light on areas that I wasn’t aware of.

In the days that followed our session, I felt lighter and I’ve already started to take action on the things she shared with me. I got a lot from our work together and I’ll be going back to her again."

How this works...

step one:

Connection call

After your application is accepted, we tailor a ceremony designed to fit your needs and aspirations.

step two:

Healing Ceremony

We create a sacred space designed to release "stuckness" and welcome in profound shifts in your life.

step three:

Integration

We anchor your experience into your daily life, so the breakthroughs continue to guide you long after our time together.

"That was one of the most spiritually, energetically, emotionally, and ancestrally healing experiences I've ever had. The insights that came over the days and weeks afterwards were profoundly illuminating.

Sara was able to validate some early life trauma that I had never told anyone about and moved the stuck energy that was coupled with it. She knew things I had never told anyone and gave me guidance as to the spiritual meaning behind my health symptoms.

Sara is gifted beyond this world. Transpersonal healing definitely occurred in our session. It's a month later, and I am still in awe of the life-changing results."

Work with intuition

My theory is that we're capable of all four kinds of intuition, but we lean heavily on one or two, which means the rest of our abilities are underdeveloped or unacknowledged. We can develop a more robust relationship with our intuition when we study how it occurs for us effortlessly and then lean into the other types of intuition that don't come as easily or naturally.

Joy Chose You

We tend to think of joy as something to be achieved after we have conquered all the beasts, climbed all of the mountains, and taken care of all of the loose ends.We can’t put joy off and wait for some perfect moment in our lives. Who's to say she’ll return after we’ve turned her away so often? When joy chooses to “slither through the imperfect cracks of your life,” let her in.

Art of Transformation

This is the cycle of life—both creation and destruction go hand in hand. You don’t have one without the other. As Indian novelist Amish Tripathi wrote, “Creation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment. And everything between the creation and the next destruction is the journey of life.”

...But destruction is not exactly fun.

FAQS

What is Energetic healing?

Energetic or shamanic healing restores balance and harmony to your body, mind, and spirit through a variety of techniques, including non-psychedelic journeying, soul retrieval, and energy cleansing. The goal is to help you connect more deeply with the wisdom of nature and the universe.

Healing practitioners serve as bridges between the physical world and the spiritual realm. I believe that all aspects of life are deeply interconnected and that illness or disharmony arises when these connections are lost or disrupted. This spiritual work helps you explore inner landscapes, heal past wounds, and reclaim parts of yourself that may have been lost along life's journey. Whether you’re seeking healing, personal growth, or a deeper understanding of your place in the cosmos, shamanic practices offer a compassionate, empowering approach to wellness that honors the whole person.

How does this work?

First, fill out the form to apply for a healing session. It takes about five minutes. Here's the link to do so.

Once I get an understanding of what you're looking for, I'll reach out to schedule your connection call. During this call, we'll talk through what's brings you to this work and what intentions you have for it. Then we'll set the date for your healing ceremony.

Healing ceremonies can be done online or in-person. I'll design the ceremony for your needs. On the date of the ceremony, you'll prepare by having few commitments scheduled and plenty of open space to integrate what we've done.

After your ceremony, we'll have an integration call that helps you "land the plane," so to speak, and incorporate what you've experienced into your life.

Can I do this work online or does it have to be in person?

Healing ceremonies can be done online or in-person. The way we prepare your ceremony will change, but the basic structure and intention of the ceremony will stay the same.

In-person work, unless arranged otherwise, will take place at a location in West Des Moines, Iowa. The address will be shared after the initial appointment is set.

Whether the ceremony is held online or in-person, the time commitments for each part of the process are:

Connection Call: 30 minutes

Healing Ceremony: 2 hours for the ceremony, and I recommend taking the rest of the day off. At the very least, plan not to have any serious commitments in the 2 hours following the call. In other words, don't plan to give a speech or operate heavy machinery (that last part is a little tongue-in-cheek, but a good idea anyway).

Integration Call: 45 minutes

What kinds of outcomes should I expect?

This is transformative, personal work that is highly dependent on the needs and the situation of each client, which makes it difficult to predict the outcome. The work you do in this space is driven partly by your intention, but we leave space for the insight, potential, and guidance of your higher self, ancestors, and guides.

That being said, clients typically leave feeling surprised by what they discovered and accomplished in their session. Clients often feel deeply moved by their experience, reconnected to something greater than themselves, and report having more energy and optimism than they've felt in a long time.

How do I get started?

To get started, go ahead and fill out the application, which you can find here. The app only takes about five minutes to complete, and it helps me understand what you're looking for and how I can help you.
