Sierra North

Sierra North of Starlight Healing is a Shamanic Practitioner, offering power animal retrievals, soul retrieval, extractions, healing journeys, cleansing ceremonies, sacred space creation and Munay-ki rites. Her practice has strong Native American and Celtic influences, although she also studies and incorporates the traditions of many other cultures.

She is a Reiki Master of the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition. Sierra has a B.A. in Psychology from St. Bonaventure University.  Sierra has taught several workshops for the New England Society of Shamanic Practitioners to encourage strong relationships and understanding of animal spirit guides and how to incorporate that relationship to enrich their everyday lives.

Sierra has a deep connection with animals, both in the physical and spiritual realm. She is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and worked at Earthplace, the Nature Discovery Center as a wildlife technician for 10 years.

Her soul purpose is creating awareness of our deep ancient connection with Gaia, our Mother Earth by awakening compassion in our hearts for all beings. She assists us along this journey by strengthening our connection with animal and nature spirits and shares the knowledge of the ancient shamanic traditions to allow us to recognize the rhythms of the heartbeat of all beings.

Ladybird, the Great Horned Owl in the photo with me is a permanant resident at Earthplace, the Nature Discovery Center in Westport, CT.  She was hit by a car and sustained severe wing and eye injuries that made it impossible for her to survive in the wild.  Wild animals are NOT pets and may only be kept in captivity for the purpose of education at licensed facilities.

In order to reduce her stress in captivity and for her (and her handlers safety), she was habitualized to human contact.  However, it is rare that a mature Great Horned Owl will stand comfortably on the glove if it was not raised to do so.  As I treated her wounds and helped her to heal, Ladybird and I formed a special bond.  I have enormous gratitude to Ladybird for allowing me to experience how truely magnificent owls are and for the teachings and wisdom she has shared with me.
