Christine Holt is a therapeutic practitioner who founded the powerful and sacred Somatic Shamanism practice that has benefited the healing journey of many people.
Somatic Shamanism is the power of ancient Shamanic, Taoist and Yoga practice integrated with contemporary psychotherapeutic modalities; Integral Eye Movement and Internal Family Systems, Somatic experiencing, Polyvagal theory and Compassionate enquiry.
Through this integrative approach, I guide a sacred process for individuals and groups which facilitates the opportunity for deep healing to occur at an emotional, mental and spiritual level.
I travelled the world for over a decade immersing myself in native cultures across Asia, Australia, North America and Europe, where I studied the ancient practices of Shamanism, Taoism and Yoga. This has given me an enormous appreciation and respect for the power of this ancient wisdom and played a major part in my own healing journey. I have also been a youth and community worker with vulnerable children in London and over time I explored and studied the more contemporary therapeutic practices of Integral Eye Movement and Internal Family Systems, Somatic experiencing, Polyvagal theory and Compassionate enquiry.
After many years of practice and experimentation I have now come to realise the most powerful healing for modern people goes in the opposite direction to the traditional shamanic model. We need to move through the shamanic levels of engagement in reverse. From the body, to the psychological, through to the soul and eventually effect change at the energetic level. In this way the individual experiences all the levels of engagement, and the power dynamic shifts away from the shaman to a healthier person-centred approach. I call this powerful integrative therapeutic approach Somatic Shamanism.
“Working with Christine has been unlike any other therapy I’ve done in the past, it goes much deeper and much further, it’s also, I have found, a lot quicker as the work goes straight to the emotional, sometimes physical, sometimes soul-based core of the issue.” Client
My Somatic Shamanism approach has been tried and tested via zoom sessions with the same level of success as face to face, therefore most of my sessions are carried out remotely.
Sessions last 1.5 hours.

Somatic \ sō-ˈma-tik \Relating to the body, especially as distinct from the mind.
Shamanism is a branch of animism, from the Latin anima, meaning ‘breath, life, soul, spirit’.
"Once you've experienced it and know it in your body, you can never
'not know' it again"
I offer a safe and sacred space to those who wish to undertake the deeply personal journey of self-discovery and healing through the therapeutic process of Shamanic Shamanism.

"My sessions with Christine have been mind-blowingly powerful. I have been on a healing journey for many years and the work we have done together so far has proceeded all other modalities I’ve tried. Blending shamanic work with psychological theory is a powerhouse and works wonders. The awareness I now have on my different parts, aspects and traumas within the psyche is incredible and has changed my life. Christine is gentle and nurturing, creating a safe space to explore the traumatic parts of the psyche. She also offers guidance and wisdom for how to integrate the healing shifted in the sessions into everyday reality. Her sessions are grounded and trauma-informed yet work on a shamanic level. This unique blend creates a beautiful balance for deep cellar healing" DB
"Having undertaken a number of different therapeutic therapies, both conventional and alternative to address past traumas, Christine's approach is by far the most powerful and empowering experience that has resulted in deep healing - I can't recommend her highly enough." RM
“Deep thanks for your rich and authentic work. No doubt the Gods bless it, for it comes from a spirit of humility and service. More gratitude than I can express”. JG
