Meet Beth Sturdevant

My path towards becoming a Coach, Shamanic Practitioner and Reiki Master (CRP) actually began as a result of the cumulative effects I faced as a full-time single parent dealing with major career and life changes, addictions, relationship breakdowns, and a traumatic home invasion which involved my being abducted from my home while my two young boys were asleep in bed.

It was through having to seek external help myself to effectively guide me through my own healing and recovery that I began to understand and appreciate the immense level of responsibility taken on by a practitioner when working with someone in such a vulnerable and terrifying state.

Growing up I never had any connections to Spirituality, no belief in “God”. I had no special abilities or intuitive gifts. In fact, I found it hard to believe in anything beyond what I could touch, taste, hear, smell, or see in the present moment.

It wasn’t until AFTER having tried years and years of therapy, medication, and other countless methods of help and “healing”, that I realized I needed to reach beyond what I knew or could see.

How could I be seeing a therapist, taking all of the medication prescribed to me, reading self-help books, listening to motivational speakers, and be in a WORSE state than I ever was before??

It was at this moment that I truly felt broken beyond repair.

This was when I started to open up my very strong-willed mind to something new: Shamanism and Spiritual Healing.

It was at this time that I was introduced to an Algonquin Shaman who was offering a 2-year training programs in professional Shamanism and Energy Medicine Healing. And while I wasn’t entirely sure what that meant or if it would even help me at that point, I knew I had to try.

Originally I registered for the Shamanism course for myself, doubting that it would do anything, assuming the results would be just the same as all the other “healing” methods I had tried before. But slowly, month after month, session after session, proof after proof, I not only FELT things change, but I SAW how I changed and how that affected who I was, HOW I felt, and WHAT I did. Over time I was able to come completely off all of the medications I had been prescribed for depression, anxiety and pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). I stopped abusing myself with alcohol and I no longer sabotaged my efforts for prosperity, abundance and success. The greatest result of all though? My life became more peaceful and purposeful.

Don’t get me wrong; getting there took a lot of effort, it took courage, it took sweat and it took tears – and I wanted to quit many (MANY!!) times along the way. But at least there were sustainable results that kept me motivated to keep going; a direction towards feeling and living a better life, a new outcome I could see other than what I had been experiencing for so much of my life, before.

As a result of those initial 2-years of experiencing help and healing unlike anything I had tried before, I decided to spend the next 7 years committed to the rigorous and disciplined professional training required to become a masterful coach and Shamanic practitioner, so that I could offer that help and healing to others as well.

My name is Beth Sturdevant, and I am the Shamanic healer for people who want to feel whole again.
