Shamanic Healer Sacred Shadow Work and Energy Healing Ottawa

A grounded, intuitive approach to healing

My name is Jennifer Malisauskas.

I offer shamanic healing and energy work for people who feel deeply —
and who may be navigating overwhelm, repeating patterns,
or a sense that something beneath the surface isn’t shifting.

This work is not about fixing you.

It’s about helping you understand what’s been shaping your experience
— and supporting you in releasing what no longer needs to be carried.

Who I Work With

I work with people who:

  • feel emotionally or energetically overwhelmed
  • are affected by other people’s energy or environments
  • notice patterns repeating in relationships or life
  • feel stuck, even when they’ve tried to do things differently
  • carry past experiences that still influence how they respond
  • want to feel more grounded, clear, and in control of their direction

Most people I work with are not looking for therapy.

They are looking for a different kind of space —
one that works with the body, energy, and inner experience,
not just the thinking mind.

How I Work

My approach combines:

  • shamanic healing and journeying
  • energy work and intuitive guidance
  • deep listening and pattern recognition

Each session is guided by what you bring.

We begin with conversation,
and then move into deeper work —
exploring what’s happening beneath the surface
through direct inner experience.

This might involve imagery, sensation, memory, or insight.

You don’t need to “figure it out.”
You are supported through the process.

Many people find this work after trying to think their way through things — and realizing something deeper needs attention.

Why This Work Is Different

Many people come to this work after trying to think their way through things.

They understand their patterns —
but something still isn’t shifting.

This is because much of what shapes us
is not only mental.

It’s held in the body, the nervous system, and the unconscious.

Through shamanic healing and energy work,
we begin to access those deeper layers —
where real change can happen.

A Respectful, Steady Approach

You won’t be pushed to go deeper than you’re ready for.

Your protective responses are not treated as obstacles —
they are part of your intelligence.

We move at a pace that feels steady and manageable,
allowing change to unfold naturally over time.

A Gentle Invitation

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to shift,
you’re welcome to begin.

My Background

My work is shaped by both training and lived experience.

Over the years, I’ve worked with:

  • Algonquin & Celtic shamanic healing practices
  • energy healing and Reiki
  • intuitive and inner landscape exploration

But more than any method,
this work is guided by listening —
to you, to what’s present, and to what feels ready.

A Personal Note

I understand what it’s like to feel stuck in patterns,
to carry things that don’t fully make sense,
and to want change without knowing how to access it.

There was a time when I could see what was happening on the surface —
but the deeper layers felt harder to reach or shift.

That experience led me to explore work that goes beyond talking
and into the body, energy, and inner world.

Over time, I began to understand how much of what we carry
lives beneath awareness —
and how gently bringing that into view
can begin to change things in a real way.

This work grew from that understanding,
and from a deep respect for how protective and complex we are as humans.

You don’t need to arrive here with clarity.

You can arrive exactly as you are.
