I have been called M’Lady Get Down, Shelora the Aura,
Shela The Healer, Hummingbird Woman,
A Court Jester and a Shamanic Dominatrix.
A Cross between Frida Kahlo and Lucille Ball, A Slayer and an Exorcist.
I am all of these and none of them. They are all faces and archetypes that shape shift.
I am stable and wild, I am disciplined and creative.
I am here for this revolution and know the purpose of healing is to animate artistry.
For us to be a voice for that which has no voice, a voice for deep things,
that reach all the way back to the ancient and into the practical.
It is safe to come out now, to dissolve the traumas
and be in the deep whole body knowledge.
My 1:1 work is depth-full delights.
We can move body, we can talk soul and sex, we can be with death, dying and mourning,
we can talk dismemberment and rememberment, dysmorphia and desire,
we can explore leadership and movement facilitation.
All the while, laughing and crying in the exploratory process.
My magic wands have touched it all and loved every part.
Truth is, after 34 years of teaching,
shamanic healing and my professional long life in so many spaces and with so many folks,
there ain’t nowhere we can’t go, so let’s go.
One on One time creates a brave space
and allows blind spots to be revealed and healed.
A time to hone in on specific terrains and acquire sourced tools to be here,
day to day, in our human suits.
To bring home the imaginations of the body.
At this time, all One on One Sessions are held virtually on Zoom.

The Quickie is for those very specific hot issues
that need a sweet and swift approach.
A fresh perspective.
On The Journey we will pick up specific threads of your life
and create a tailor made shamanic crossing.
Using varied creative healing tools we will step into
the perfect balance of ordinary and extraordinary mapping towards the via transformitiva.
There is preparatory work in between each crossing.
Working with Kate Shela gave me back my spirit, courage, life force, and was tremendously healing. After few hours working with her, I healed issues that may have taken years to heal with traditional therapy. Her ability to move between realms, her generous flowing heart, incredible intellect, shamanic storytelling gifts all managed to free me from some post traumatic issues I was dealing with. Her energy, passion, will, and spirit are forces to be reckoned with. I feel so utterly grateful and blessed that I had a chance to work with this magical creature, this beautiful woman.

Kate Shela is a somatic shaman who simultaneously calls us to be fully present and to collapse into eternity. She is an alchemist of embodiment who understands that changemaking — from the micro to the macro — must embrace vulnerability, courageous truth-telling, creativity, and radical play. Her soundscapes take us beyond ordinary reality, reawakening the primordial intelligence of the body while reigniting our intimacy with Life. As a teacher, I find Kate equally compassionate and confronting. She invites people into the surrender of stillness alongside the dynamism of movement, invoking fresh exploration of the fertile space between. Kate is a bridge teacher who celebrates rather than hesitates in the face of polarity. She invites seemingly divergent aspects of consciousness into unity… devotion and irreverence, discipline and effortlessness, the relative world with the absolute, and “I love you and fuck you!” in the same breath.

Kate is a dynamic powerhouse! Fierce, funny, grounded, deeply dedicated to her practice and craft, and unshakably real. She’s part teacher, healer, part shaman in sneakers, part my homie. Her presence and words cracked something open in me that I didn’t know was still locked up. She invited me to come back to my body. To feel. To risk being seen. To dance, not to perform, but to remember, who I really was . Kate Shela is a master of holding space. A guide through the chaos. A force of nature. If you get the chance to dance with her, don’t hesitate. Show up. Surrender. And let yourself be changed.

Kate Shela changed my life. Before I met her, I had all the pieces of a good life and a sense of who I really was but I couldn’t quite put it together. I’d been to shrinks, meditations, finding yourself groups, Jungians, endless healers. Kate changed everything. Within less than a year, I am at a point in my life that I only dreamt of before. My career went stratospheric-because I could step into who I really was and I am in the best relationship I have ever had with a great man. Kate’s immersions and shamanic healing literally taught me how to have a relationship. She also taught me that you can be strong and vulnerable at exactly the same time.

It is no exaggeration to say that seeing Kate Shela for shamanic healing has changed my life. New vistas have opened up for me and I am doing things now which I would not have dreamed of before I came to see her.
