"The Shamanic Coaching Program deepened my spiritual connection and enhanced my intuitive abilities. The teaching process was dynamic and rich in knowledge and experience. Trusting the alchemy, I continue to witness the personal transformation of the people I am coaching. I highly recommend this program for anyone who seeks to be an EarthWalker bringing healing to others."
Wendy Golding, Founder, Horse Spirit Connections, Tottenham, Ontario

"I entered the Shamanic Coaching Program as somewhat of a seasoned student in Shamanism. I am always amazed how much more there is to learn to help you grow as a practitioner or just as a human being. This program has allowed me to expand on my current talents that are somewhat related and also interconnected to these teachings. Not only do you learn more for yourself to help you grow, but you can use the tools to enhance your own practice. Anyone from any walk of life can enter into these teachings and get a benefit. It is truly a complete interaction with your mental, physical and spiritual self. Enjoy your journey!"
Carell Mehl RT-CRA, Shamanic Coach, Calgary, Alberta

"I have studied and practised many modalities of healing and the Shamanic Coaching program has a strong component of commitment to self-healing and growth. What I love about this program are the tools and ceremonies given to the participants to heal themselves as well as to help others. The aspects of accountability and integrity are linked to the importance of self-care to enable the coach to better serve others who seek help. This program has heightened my awareness of areas for my own healing and provided the tools to do it. The framework provides a comprehensive assessment that integrates the physical, emotional, energetic, spiritual and psychological aspects. This program provides the most comprehensive holistic approach that I have ever been involved in. It provides opportunity for personal growth and it is challenging and fun. The people that I have worked with as an apprentice have indicated that they have benefited from the approach and tools I have used. It is an honour and a privilege to have had the opportunity to participate in this wonderful healing program."

"My name is Rae-ann Wood-Schatz. I am the president and owner of Personal Best Seminars Alberta. I have offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer with expansion plans into Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat and Fort McMurray. I have a background in Psychology and have been a clinician and a therapist. My current business has me functioning as a life coach, an NLP practitioner and facilitator. My most recent growth opportunity has been the Shamanic Coaching Program with the Institute of Shamanic Medicine. As a lifelong learner, I have, in the recent past, found it harder and harder to find experiences that inspire me and are an extension of what I already teach and have learned. My experience of the coaching program is I have had many of the concepts I teach and practise in my life reinforced in new and unique ways. The addition of a plethora of new information has been amazing. Gael's style of teaching is engaging; her knowledge is unparalleled. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in coaching themselves or others in a spiritually moving way. This program rocks."
Rae-ann Wood-Schatz, President, Personal Best Seminars, Edmonton, Alberta

"The course was rich in content and hands-on practical experience. Coaching others was a great way to embody the knowledge while challenging and embracing my own evolution. Assisting others and witnessing their transformation was a gift!"
