Walking the Magical Shamanic Path as Busy Mamas with Sheree Bliss TilsleyIn this episode I delve deep into how the motherhood journey impacts and is interwoven with life & the magical shamanic path, together with my amazing medicine sister Sheree Bliss Tilsley. Sheree is a mama, shamanic practitioner, writer, birth keeper, womb healer and more.
Together we chat about everything from birth to teens and how we navigate this journey as shamanic practitioners. How have we handled burnout & holding space for others when so much of our life force goes to our babies? What fears and challenges have we had to address within ourselves in the transformative journey of motherhood? What about generational patterns?
This episode is not just for mamas...

My Second Pregnancy & Birth Story: VBAC or Cesarian?In this episode I share my second pregnancy & birth story. From choosing to VBAC or having a repeat cesarian, to two falls, a blood clot and the emotional roller coaster of bringing home your second child.
I hope this episode serves and helps you as much as the birth stories I have listened to have helped me.

Shamanism & Shamanic Healing: Conversation with Elin Ridderström
In this episode I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Elin Ridderström, a beautiful shamanic healer, Yoga Teacher & business coach with 30+ years experience.
We chat about everything from her intense experiences with an energy in an apartment she lived in, to the first time she was sent out into woods to open sacred space during her shamanic training to her work with businesses, clients and everything in between.
Elin and I 'met' through a series of synchronicities and I immediately knew I had to ask her to come on the podcast to share about her shamanic journey and work. Elin has the most beautiful energy radiating from all she does and I am beyond grateful to have her share her experiences and wisdom with you all.

I wish to apologize for how fast I am talking in this episode. I am a fast speaker, however, this time was a little too fast for comfortable listening. I am never striving for perfection, rather authenticity, but I will try to be more mindful of this in future episodes. :)
Enjoy!

In this solo episode, I share some of my experiences, thoughts, and lessons learned after my first year as a mother.
This particular episode is not so much about birth and early postpartum, but more about how life looks a year on, how I see the world now, and what medicine I have to share as a parent.
If you want me to cover more specific aspects of birth, motherhood, shamanic healing and wellness feel free to send me a request via the contact form on my website.

Decolonizing, Wellness, Spirituality & Birthing the new Earth - Conversation with Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza (Part 1)
In this episode, I had the great honour to talk to Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza, who is a Xicana/Mexicana Seer, initiated medicine woman, Counseling Psychology Ph.D., on the Ñusta Paqo path in the Q’ero Inca lineage. She is also a spiritual guide, teacher, speaker, and writer.
This episode is a journey, heavy in parts and light in parts, as we traverse the depths and layers of decolonizing, wellness, spirituality, and birthing the new Earth. It is an episode to receive through your heart. Colonialism is a heavy topic with many layers and veils to be lifted. It is also crucial medicine for all of us, especially those on a spiritual path (particularly those working in the spiritual field).
My wish is that this episode helps contribute to the shadow work that is needed if we are to, as Dra. Rocío put it 'survive as a species'. If we can trust our ability to do the deep and heavy work, we will also receive true medicine and birth the new Earth, united.
I am deeply grateful for Dra. Rocío's time, love, wisdom, and medicine shared on the podcast (and beyond). I encourage those of you listening to follow her on social media, check out her offerings, and support her on Patreon if you are benefitting from her work and if called to study under her. You can find Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza via:

This my friends is perhaps the most important conversation I ever had and I cannot wait to share it with you. It is powerful medicine and I wish that you receive it in your heart, keep an open mind and share it with your community.
With love,
Tessa
Following Your Passion & Making Your Hobby Your Career (or not)
In this solo episode, I share some of my story in working my way towards the freedom of working for myself with what I love. I also touch on many questions to ask yourself when following your dreams in terms of work. Is making your 'hobby' or passion your career the right choice for you? Does it suit your personality? Do you have a deep enough 'why' to drive you?
Thank you for listening and supporting my show. :)

Interview with Master Don Justino Apaza Flores of the Inca Medicine SchoolIn this episode, I had the absolute honour of interviewing our Elder Master Don Alejandro Apaza's son Don Justino Apaza Flores. We talk about the Andean spiritual path, what he does as a master paqo ('shaman') and what his message for the world is.
This is the raw, un-cut audio, recorded with master being high in the Andean mountains where the internet is spotty. It is also recorded in Spanish with lovely sister Bety assisting us with the translation. The delays, translations, and internet sometimes running slow is in itself medicine in my opinion...I have left the recording as it is for you to receive it deeply in your hearts.
If you wish to embark on the lifelong commitment of becoming a paqo, a shamanic healer, or if you simply wish to have a healing session or take one of the Apaza family's smaller workshops, or donate to their work in the Q'ero communities, head to:

In this episode, I interview Teacher Inca Priest Giuliano Salas on 'Pregnancy & Birth in Indigenous Peruvian Communities' and as always we talk about it from the perspective of our Andean Magick/Shamanic perspective.
If you want to hear more from Teacher Giuliano I invite you to head to my Instagram handle @shamanicsoulwork and take a look at my 'Live Replay' highlight where we have several recorded lives we did on Instagram a while back.
To connect with Giuliano, as mentioned in the audio, you can visit his website at:

You can also find him on Instagram @inkahealer
Enjoy the episode and this sacred knowledge.

(Please note: there was some mild construction noise around the 42 min mark so you may hear some hammering. The audio was temporarily stopped but not long enough for me to properly cut that part out, so for a second it may seem like we jump right into another topic).

In this episode, we discuss the light and dark in Shamanism, energy cords, and the process of Soul Retrieval amongst other things.

This is an introductory episode on Shamanic Healing in relation to Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum. As I mention in the episode, this is a huge topic, and something we will come back to in future episodes.
Although I covered many different aspects in this episode there is so much more to talk about, e.g. how my friend opened sacred space for my birth from a distance, how you change your spiritual practices around to fit your baby in, and much more. Enjoy!
If you are looking for a session with me (I will shortly be back part-time from maternity leave) or would like more information on Shamanic Healing or perhaps join my Diving Deep self-paced healing program head to http://www.shamanicsoulwork.com
