Charlotte Skyla
Hello, I am Charlotte. I am a Naturopath BHSc, a certified End of Life Doula, and an initiated Shamanic practitioner (Ñusta Paqo) of the Apaza Q’ero lineage of the high mountains in the Andes.
My upbringing and my life itself has set the precedence for my current practice, and whilst I have sat with teachers, been initiated and applied the ‘medicine’ for over 25 years now, it has been my life experiences that have walked me through the biggest fires. Life teaches through experience more than words. It is through the alchemical process of the guidance of traditional lore and cosmovision, combined with personal life initiations, that I am capable of holding space for others to observe and see themselves, as they are guided using ancient practices.
The essence of what I do is shadow work, using the avenues of ancient traditions and mythological ‘play’, to access archaic and transgenerational patterns that operate within the energetics of a human being. Whilst I have native ancestral lineages to both Norse shamanism and Noadi lore, the live medicine of these traditions is effectively no longer taught, as it died through the process of religious inquisition and later assimilation. The infrastructure of my practices comes from live oral teachings of ancient lore and cosmovision of shamanic buddhist, hindu, and Q’ero traditions. In later years, and in progress, I am recognising how my native ancestral wisdom is pouring into this existing framework.
My life is a dedication to my spiritual path and to being of service to the good of humanity. I have travelled extensively in our World and have sat (still sitting) with diverse teachers and their wisdom. I feel a sense of duty of guardianship and towards the survival of an ancient World and way of perceiving.
Shamanic Traditions
The Incan prophecy stated that a new people of shamanic healers will arise in the West, and with this information, it was decided to lift the veil of secrecy around this form of energy medicine and teach the shamanic Incan lore to those inclined from the West.
It is with the utmost respect, gratitude and love to the Inuit and indigenous people of our World, the ancestral shamanic lineages, my ancestral lineage, and my teachers, that I share this wisdom with the persons that come to see me.
Sitting in sacred space, we explore the luminous body, karmic pasts, cyclical unwanted patterns and ‘stuckness’, and possible destinies, and we conjure mythological maps that will guide one on a personal quest to find the right relationship with one’s world.
This is for persons who are committed to their own awakening, who dare face authenticity, are not afraid to dive deeper within, who are willing to invite transformation and change into their life, and be prepared to let the old that stands in the way of aligning to one’s destiny, die.
Corporate and group bookings are available for rites, ceremonies and meditations.
End Of Life Doula
As an End of Life Doula, I assist the dying and the dead in conscious dying. I also assist the living in preparing for death so that when the time comes, dying can be done actively and with an awakened mind and a strong conscious presence.
An embodiment of death literacy can help nurture a greater respect for, and meaning of, life.
I perform the death rite of the Incan tradition, this can be carried out before, during or after death. The death rite helps the transitioning soul by facilitating successful detachment from the earth realm and journeying into the realm of ancestors.
I assist the dying and their families in recapitulation to heal generational hurt and emotional imbalances.
Recapitulation and death rite can also be offered for people who have experienced the sudden death of a loved one, this is a very healing exercise where final goodbyes can be spoken, and letting go can be done.
Recapitulation and ‘the little death’ exercise can also be performed as an exercise for death literacy and understanding what transformation is needed in order to align to one’s destiny, like a self imposed wake up call.
I can also assist the dying and their families in dying at their home, as well as guiding families in the washing, preparing and wrapping the body of their loved one for natural burials or cremations…an incredibly healing approach to death and grieving.
Death literacy and meditations are available for group and corporate bookings.
Who are my Clients
The persons that come to see me vary in their age, life circumstances and outlook, however, the main quality they tend to share, is the sense that there is an aspect of themselves and their life that is out of balance.
They are looking for help as to how to find or regain their balance, as well as finding the tools to journey their life in the right relationship with their world.
