What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient healing and visionary tradition that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with transcendental energies. There are many variations and interpretations of shamanism throughout the world. Shamanism is not a religion, but cuts across all religious and belief system to offer spiritual practice in a way that is aligned with your unique individual world view.

What is Core-Shamanism?

EquineFlow uses autohypnotic "Core Shamanism" to enable clients to achieve transformation.  Core Shamanism is a system of shamanic practices synthesized by Michael Harner in the 1980s, based on the teachings of indigenous  people from cultures all over the world.  The trance states induced by drumming are hypothesized to have an "integrative" effect on cognition, allowing communication among mental systems to retrieve answers to difficult questions, access pre-cognitive abilities, and restore authenticity and meaning.

Who is it for?

Shamanic methods are used to reconnect you to helping spirits and spirit animals inside the space of your own mental worlds. These helping spirits (constructs) can provide you with power, guidance, protection and support, especially when life gets tough. Shamanic practice becomes what you need it to become, in a way that makes sense to you as an individual with your own belief system. It teaches you how to deeply connect with your own intuition, and restore the wise woman within.

How Does it work?

Monique is working toward becoming a certified shamanic practitioner at the Advanced Shamanic Healing and Initiations with The Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS).which involves an intensive 4 year study of all aspects of core shamanism, such as power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, extraction, death, dying and beyond work, classic psychopomp work and more.

KAREN E. : I CAN THINK MORE CLEARLY *****
​I can think more clearly and find I can trust in my decision making processes as a result.  EquineFlow Coaching has helped me in all areas of my life, relationships, parenting and my work as the founder of a non-profit charity. I can not recommend Equineflow and Monique more highly.   Karen E. Greenville, SC.
JOHN Z. : EXTREMELY REWARDING *****
Working with Monique has been simultaneously one of the easiest and most challenging experiences I have ever had. Most importantly, it has been extremely rewarding. Monique is skilled at unapologetically pushing you to work hard, while showing incredible empathy and developing lasting rapport with you from the very first session.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical of life-coaching in the beginning because I am trained as a therapist, however what EquineFlow offered really sounded like exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Monique’s methods are based in research and she is always willing to explain the neuroscience behind what she is doing.

I learned skills that I could use in everyday situations the moment I walked out of my sessions. I learned the importance of taking time to really focus on getting in touch with all parts of myself, and I am learning how to hear all parts of myself and find balance in which parts push me forward in life. It has provided me with tools to come back to and use in the future, and it has given me the courage to make decisions and confidently choose to honor myself.  John Z. Greenville, SC

BARBARA M. : OVERWHELMING SENSE OF BLISS *****
Before starting working with Monique, I had a huge weight on my shoulders. Now I have a different picture of what my future looks like. Every session was like a small awakening and when I came closer to my turning point, I almost felt an overwhelming sense of bliss, understanding and peace. I had all the tools and knowledge all along. It just took the right person to ask the right questions.

If you feel stuck or uncomfortable, if you don’t know why or lack the skills to achieve your dreams, I highly recommend working with Monique. She’s a highly analytical, thoughtful and caring coach that will show you many opportunities to practice joy and happiness."

SHARON E. : I AM WALKING INTO A DREAM *****
The peace and contentment with myself as a person began to positively impact my business and my friendships. My business has tripled, my divorce to my abusive ex is final-I am walking out of a nightmare and into a dream. This dream does not define me however, and if it falls apart tomorrow, I’ll be ok. Because I’m me.   Sharon C. Greenville, SC
