Book A Session
Every person has both a physical body and an energy body, often referred to as the Luminous Energy Field. This energetic body relies on energy centers that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
The shamans of the Americas see no separation between the body and spirit, just as they see no division between the visible world of form and matter and the invisible world of energy. These visible and invisible realms merge and interact through our energy centers. Everything in nature is considered sacred, and each energy center holds the essence of where we have come from and who we are becoming.
The term “energy center” refers to swirling disks of invisible energy that spin a few inches away from our physical body, connected to the spine and central nervous system. When these centers are healthy, they rotate clockwise, each symbolizing different human qualities. They correspond to elements in nature, specific colors, glands within our bodies, and particular periods in our lives when they may have been affected by our experiences or upbringing.
Our luminous energy anatomy is a universal aspect of all humans, encompassing these energy centers and the acupuncture meridians.
Each energy center emits a unique frequency, perceived as one of the seven colors of the rainbow. As we age, these vibrant colors can fade, dulled by the traumas and losses we experience. Emotional residue can cling to these energy centers, disrupting their natural frequency and accelerating physical aging.
Every energy center contains a map of our emotional and physical experiences. Just as a mountain range can be described through different perspectives—such as population density, landscape, drone imagery, or aerial views—our energy centers hold various interpretations of our life experiences.
For a deeper understanding of each energy center and its impact on our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, please explore our blog posts, where we offer detailed insights into each center and its significance.

The Illumination Process serves as the foundational energetic healing method for shamans and energy healers alike.
Each imprint in the Luminous Energy Field (LEF) is connected to an energy center, which acts as a channel to release toxic energy into the central nervous system. These imprints can stem from unresolved traumas, such as childhood experiences, the loss of a loved one that hasn’t been fully grieved, or other unhealed issues from the past. Think of the imprint as the origin, the energy center as the conduit, and the nervous system as the distribution network.
Heavy energies are residuals from negative experiences or traumas that have imprinted themselves onto the Luminous Energy Field. These energies become compacted into tight clusters, making them unavailable to serve as life force or fuel, ultimately depleting our vitality. Clearing these dense energies isn’t possible until the Illumination Process unlocks and releases the light trapped within them.
The only way to mobilize and erase these imprints in the LEF is through the affected energy center. These imprints often hold emotions like pain, grief, or shame that have been carried for either a short period or many years.
The Illumination Process works by transforming the dense emotions tied to trauma or illness into nourishing, life-affirming energy. Without this process, these stagnant energies can eventually manifest as physical or emotional disease.
This potent process facilitates healing at the most fundamental level—our energetic blueprint. When these imprints are cleared and healed, we can more easily shift negative emotions and behaviors. Our immune system is empowered, accelerating physical healing. The Illumination Process helps restore balance, aligning us with what the Inka shamans call “ayni”—a harmonious relationship with all of life—allowing the Universe to support us once more.
Healing through the Illumination Process occurs by clearing the energetic residue and buildup that accumulate on the walls of an energy center, which helps promote longevity and strengthens the immune system. It also involves burning away the toxic energies surrounding negative physical and emotional imprints, effectively removing the fuel these imprints rely on to manifest. Finally, the process purifies the imprints within the Luminous Energy Field, restoring balance and harmony to the energetic body.
To better understand your specific concerns, Maggie begins each session with an assessment of your energy body to identify which of your energy centers is compromised. There could be more than one affected center; in such cases, Maggie will focus on the one nearest to Mother Earth. This evaluation provides insight into how the affected energy center is influencing your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
A session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on what you wish to release and the intentions you set.

After experiencing a traumatic or stressful event, or even in the midst of daily life, many of us become trapped in the fight, flight, or freeze response, which is triggered by the amygdala, the most ancient and primitive part of our brain. The challenge with the fight-flight-freeze (FFF) response is that it functions as a “feed-forward system.” This means that once it is activated, it continuously sends distress signals throughout the body, resulting in increased levels of cortisol and adrenaline, as well as elevated heart rate and blood pressure.
When our fight, flight, or freeze response gets stuck in the ON mode during times of stress, it narrows our focus, causing us to make decisions from a survival mindset. This can lead us to create or perceive dangerous situations that reinforce the belief that the world is not a safe place.
While animals have a natural ability to reset their fight and flight response, humans often struggle to do so. The Inkan shamans of Peru discovered methods to reset this response through the Luminous Energy Field (LEF) of a person’s energetic body.
During this hands-on session, Maggie will work to realign your second energy center, which is associated with survival, so that it synchronizes with your fourth energy center, related to the heart. This process helps to calm the overactive fight-flight-freeze response located in the second energy center, bringing it back to a state of balance. Instead of your body reacting to and being driven by adrenaline, it will begin to align with the rhythm of Mother Earth. The second energy center will once again harmonize with the heartbeat of your heart center (fourth energy center), creating a flowing connection between the two.

Cord cutting is a powerful method for releasing the energetic ties you have with someone from your past or present life. If you struggle with money, there may be an energetic attachment to someone you need to release. Similarly, if you find yourself repeatedly attracting the same type of relationship and cannot understand why, it may indicate unresolved emotional wounds or traumas from past relationships that you are unconsciously carrying into each new connection. This suggests that an energetic cord between you and that person, place, or experience from your past needs to be severed.
During a cord-cutting session, we will help you identify the specific behavior pattern, issue, or individual you wish to release. We then energetically pinpoint where this attachment is stored within your body. Using a potent process designed to bring this attachment to the surface, we can “cut the cord” that binds you to it. It is essential to understand that cord cutting does not sever the love shared with someone, only the toxic energetic bond. For instance, if you have always had a challenging relationship with your mother, the session will remove the unhealthy energetic attachment between you while preserving the love.

All forms of energy have their own frequency and vibration. Negative energies are drawn to us because they resonate with something within us, much like how our brains have receptor sites for specific chemicals. We may unknowingly attract these energies in the same way we attract certain kinds of people into our lives.
While the Illumination Process can transform most energies in the Luminous Energy Field (LEF), some toxic energies can solidify, becoming almost like physical matter that cannot be processed through illumination alone. These crystallized energies can embed themselves in the body, taking forms like arrows, spears, daggers, or swords. The shamans of the Amazon believe these crystallized energies can result from black magic or sorcery, but they can also be caused by intense emotions like anger, envy, or hatred directed at us by others. Sometimes, they may even be energetic remnants from past lives or ancestral wounds passed down through generations.
Those closest to us—friends, family, and coworkers—have the most potential to bring us joy or cause us pain. When someone has consistent access to our most intimate selves, we can become vulnerable to their betrayal, anger, or jealousy. For example, a negative thought from an angry former spouse can penetrate our luminous energy field just as a knife could penetrate our physical body.
When these energies first enter our system, they pass through the LEF, where they are typically recognized as foreign and eliminated, much like how the body combats a virus. However, if we are exposed to a continuous source of negativity, the LEF can become overwhelmed. This ongoing negative energy can solidify and embed itself in the body over weeks, months, or even years.
These crystallized energies do not belong to us and must be removed manually.
In a hands-on session following the Illumination Process, Maggie will scan your Luminous Energy Field to locate and assess these dense, toxic, hardened energies and carefully extract them. After the extraction, Maggie will illuminate the affected energy center to restore balance.
It is important to note that negative emotions like anger or hatred can only penetrate our LEF when similar emotions reside within us—anger can affect us only if we harbor anger, and hatred can only take root if there is self-hatred present. Any current situation involving negative energy directed at you—such as a divorce or disappointment—can create this resonance. This is why it is not enough to remove the crystallized energies; the underlying affinities, such as self-hatred or anger, must also be healed to prevent attracting the same energy again. Spiritual counseling sessions with Maggie after an extraction or Illumination Process can be invaluable for this transformative journey.

The soul represents the essential part of us that exists before we enter this world and continues beyond our lifetime. Medicine people often refer to this core aspect as a seed that, when properly nurtured, has the potential to grow and manifest into its fullest expression.
The journey of the soul is about realizing the profound potential each of us carries. Just like a seed that thrives when it is cared for, our soul’s potential can only come to fruition when it is nurtured and tended to.
Throughout our lives, we may experience parts of our soul fragmenting or splintering off due to abandonment, fear, insecurity, or childhood trauma. We cannot truly uncover our soul’s purpose until we heal these past wounds. This healing process involves journeying into the Lower World to connect with those lost soul parts in their own realm. Recovering these parts can lead to profound changes in our lives.
A single Soul Retrieval session can achieve the deep healing that might take years in traditional psychotherapy. This is because the soul communicates in a language that differs greatly from that used in counseling or therapy.
In this transformative session, Maggie will guide you through a beautiful journey to uncover the wounds that have caused fragmentation, along with the “contract” or agreement you made with yourself as a result of those wounds. You will reconnect with the soul piece that embodies your true essence and discover the gifts and resources that will support you in creating a new contract for the rest of your life. Additionally, you will be guided to retrieve your power animal, a spiritual ally that will accompany you on your path.
After your journey with Maggie, she will work with you through a process of integration. This involves reflecting on, processing, and fully understanding the insights and messages received. You will release the old contract that no longer serves you by symbolically burning it and then rewrite a new one that aligns with the future you envision.
