Meet Pam

Pamela Albee

Pam was raised in Eastern Washington State and as a child was unflatteringly considered hypersensitive. Experiencing near-death drowning's as an infant and again in grade school, Pam was exceptionally aware of others pain, illness and suffering - unknowingly slipping into the "shoes of the wounded healer." Life had a way of providing Pam with experiences and healing that later would be helpful in her Holistic Healthcare practice.

During her youth Pam, unconscious to her spiritual gifts, purposely "traded" energy with three people she feared were dying. Pam became ill with similar symptoms and they became well. Happy for the others and eventually recovering, Pam simply went on with her life - not understanding the non-ordinary spiritual path she was walking.

Enlightenment

In 1992 Pam attended ten days at one of the first Guided Imagery conferences experiencing new concepts in interactive counseling. A whole new world opened up to opportunities of healing emotional issues through therapeutic guided imagery and processing.

Pam experienced another life-threatening and life-altering illness in 1994, resulting in severe asthma. After suffering nearly two years, she was referred to a shamanic practitioner for a shamanic extraction. The practitioner recognized the "gifts of a healer" and quizzed Pam about her healing methods - "by the seat of my pants, I guess" was her response. The practitioner's response - "don't do it that way - it's an easy way to die."

Pam enrolled in an intensive 300 hour twelve-month training in shamanic methods - power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, spirit release and extractions, plant spirit medicine, and divination blended with Chinese Five Element Medicine, Therapeutic Touch, Aromatherapy and plant medicine. From the first shamanic journey, Pam was "home" as the awareness of a shaman began. Less than two years later, using shamanic methods, Pam experienced no symptoms or diagnosis of asthma.

On her way

The exposure to experiential imagery during shamanic journey work and guided imagery processing led to the next step in 2001 when Pam began a 200 hour course in Alchemical Hypnotherapy; then another 150 hours to become certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Pam also has experiential training in Healing Touch, High Touch Jin Shin and Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Pam has continued extensive training in shamanic methods through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Sandra Ingerman, Tom Cowan and Myron Eshowsky.
