Sarah Marie trained in the tradition of Jan Engels-Smith at the LightSong School of 21st Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine in Portland, Oregon. This lineage draws from diverse global influences—including Celtic, South African, Native American, Norse, and Siberian traditions. Each influence is a living contribution to a dynamic curriculum designed to evolve with each generation of healers.

Through her dedicated work in this tradition, Sarah Marie has learned how to navigate the spiritual and energetic realms to receive and retrieve healing on behalf of others.

Her training also includes Reiki studies with Karen Hefner through Igniting Spirit. Sarah Marie is a certified Karuna Holy Fire Reiki practitioner and teacher. She has studied mediumship with Betsy Bergstrom and Stacie Codino. In addition to her energy healing work, Sarah Marie holds a Bachelor's degree in English Literature from SUNY at Buffalo and is a licensed massage therapist through East West College of the Healing Arts.

As a shamanic practitioner and energy healer, Sarah Marie honors the entirety of the soul—understanding that true healing encompasses the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of being.
