Heal What Remains.
Awaken Your Purpose.
Rise Up in Courage.
Step Up into the Work

You Are Here to Do.

Spiritual teaching, mentoring and shamanic healing for people who have already done deep inner work--
and are now called to move beyond what still blocks them,
step into their deeper purpose, and serve a world in need. 
Many people come here seeking healing.
And often, that is where the journey begins. 
But for many, there comes a moment when healing is no longer the end point--
it becomes the doorway into purpose and clarity about spiritual leadership. 
Rachel Mann PhD has supported thousands of clients and students worldwide.
Book a complimentary 30-minute Soul Discovery Call 
if you feel ready to move beyond what has been blocking your path. 
My intention is that you leave with clarity and a deeper sense
of what your service is to the world as you cross this threshold.

When Healing Becomes the Soul's Call to Serve

You may have done therapy. You may have walked a spiritual way for years. You may understand your patterns, your history, your wounds. 

And yet--something remains unresolved. 

Not because you are broken. But because something deeper is asking to emerge. 

A deep truth.
A deeper purpose.
A deeper level of service aligned with your soul's true calling. 

My work supports you in moving through what still holds you back--so you can step into the life and service in spiritual leadership that is truly yours.

This Work is For You If...

You have already done meaningful inner work--and know there is more. 

You feel a clear or emerging call toward purpose, leadership or service using all your accumulated wisdom and intuitive gifts.

You are not looking for endless processing--but for movement and clarity. 

You sense that unresolved inner dynamics and ancestral patterns are still limiting your path.

You want grounded, spiritually deep and mature support--not surface-level coaching. 

Spiritual Work in a Time of Global Change

We are living in a time of profound uncertainty, disruption, and , transformation. 
For many, this is not only personal--it is collective.
The call to heal, awaken, and serve is not separate from what is happening in the world. 
It is a response to it. 
My work supports those who feel this call--helping you stay grounded, clear, and aligned as you navigate both your inner transformation at this threshold and your place in a changing world. 

Stay connected with news, updates, insight, inspiration and healing from Rachel.

Ways to Work & Study with Rachel

What I offer is more than shamanic healing or a spiritual technique.
Shamanism is just the form that carries eternal teachings and practices
of healing, compassion, love, and transformation.  
My work is trauma-informed, rooted in spiritual depth, offering guidance and support
for those who feel called to serve a world in need.

About Rachel

I am a spiritual teacher whose work integrates shamanic healing and mentoring to support people who have already done deep inner work. 

In my early 30s, I met my first Native American teacher, discovered energy medicine for healing trauma, and was well into developing and teaching university courses on collective trauma. At the age of 46, I left my tenured academic position at the University of Virginia to do this work. Part of it was the calling to teach a spiritual path that I call Awakened Heart Shamanism integrating my ongoing study with spiritual masters of the Q'ero in Peru and others.

All of my work is rooted in spiritual teaching—4supporting those called to deepen their connection to spirit, embody their gifts, and walk a path of meaningful service.
It is not a single program or method, but an unfolding path shaped through practice,
experience, and lived transformation.

For some, this begins with healing.
For others, it deepens through mentoring.
Over time, it becomes a way of living, relating, and contributing in a changing world anchored in ancient and contemporary spiritual wisdom.

Begin your journey into Awakened Heart Shamanism
and meet these times with courage, authenticity & power.

Rachel has helped me bring power to my own medicine. She gave me a deeper understanding of the power of the Medicine Wheel.  As a result of my work with her in the 1-1 Mentoring Program, I stepped with confidence into my role as a shamanic healer and teacher. "

Transformational. Healing. Magical. Powerful. Empowering. Community. Fun. Uplifting. Rachel's class takes people to another level in their life. Rachel's classes changed my perception of life.  OK, there are still lions, but there’s no longer a wall. 

-Helene Poirot

Rachel has given me the tools to keep the sacred in everyday life.  I needed to figure out how to heal the wounds of my past. Rachel offered that. 

-Beth Ward, PhD, D. Div, Owner, SoulFire Alchemy

Rachel is one of those rare people blessed with a brilliant, wise mind coupled with a depth of soul and being. She is both expansive and playful while being grounded and firmly anchored in the material world.  I knew from the first words we exchanged that I had encountered a profound teacher and healer that was meant to be a part of my life path and ultimate destiny. Give yourself and the world around you the gift of Rachel’s wise and kind touch. You will laugh, you will cry, you will gasp in wonder as you come face to face with the truth of who you are and what you actually mean, what each of us means.  

- David Drockton
