# Shamanic Trekker

> Authentic Shamanic Energy Healing rooted in the Q'ero lineage of the Peruvian Andes. Founded by Shaman John Whitehorse and Kristen White; based in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Denver, Colorado, with virtual sessions worldwide.

## What We Do

Shamanic Trekker offers drug-free Shamanic Energy Healing using the Natural Trauma Release Method™ — a ceremony-based approach that releases trauma stored in the body and energy field without requiring clients to retell or relive their experiences. The work is rooted in direct lineage transmission from the Q'ero shamans of Peru, where founder John Whitehorse received the full 13 Karpay Rites and was recognised as a Pampa Mesayoq (mesa carrier).

## Who We Serve

Adults seeking shamanic energy healing, trauma release, and spiritual guidance — particularly those who have done years of therapy or inner work and feel something deeper remains unresolved. Common presenting concerns include:

- Persistent anxiety or stress that doesn't fully resolve through talk therapy
- Repeating relationship or life patterns
- Feeling disconnected from purpose or self
- Major life transitions (loss, identity shifts, health challenges)
- Spiritual seekers drawn to indigenous lineage-based practices
