Shamanic and Spiritual Healer Rachel Mann PhD

Rachel Mann left a 20 year academic career and a tenured position as an administrator and professor at the University of Virginia (UVA) to answer the call of her heart to become a shamanic healer and spiritual teacher. Rachel is the founder and owner of the Institute for Awakened Heart Shamanism. Students are offered a powerful spiritual initiation into the Institute's profound wisdom lineages reaching into shamanism, Native American spirituality, Buddhism, depth psychology, and multidimensional perspectives on peace, violence and trauma healing.

This dynamic combination of ancient and contemporary, western, eastern, and indigenous, provides rich tools and resources for personal and spiritual expansion and planetary healing. 

Rachel's Shamanic Mentoring Program helps to unlock possibility into probability, and to manifest highest dreams for life.

She is a member of faculty at Atlantic University, which was founded by Edgar Cayce and is affilitated with the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and which offers an MA in Transpersonal Psychology.

Rachel is driven to bring a message about how healing oneself is essential to ending violence and healing the world.  Her worldview and teachings are love-based and inspirational.  Her sparkling spiritual connection is grounded in real-world practice.
