They have dedicated their lives to the Earth-centered, visionary ways of the shaman and were included in Traveling Between the Worlds, a book of interviews with twenty four of the most influential teachers and writers of shamanism. They are internationally recognized presenters, teaching workshops on ecospirituality, the shamanic journey process and advanced shamanic methods across the United States and Canada since 1991.

They have also been very fortunate to study with many indigenous shamans including Fredy “Puma” Quispe Singona of Peru, AiChurek, the renowned shaman from Tuva, Bhola N. Banstola of Nepal, and the last male Ulchi shaman, Grandfather Mikhail “Misha” Duvan, to name just a few.

“Just had a life-altering soul retrieval session with Evie and Allie!!! These are powerful beings of love and higher consciousness. I can’t recommend them highly enough! As educators, healers and vibrational alchemists they ROCK. Book your session soon…you will not be disappointed.” -Courtney A. Walsh


“AMAZING. I thought those two women were absolutely amazing, and when I told someone close of my experience, we both found that the shamanic journey answered some of our oldest questions. I also told one of my closest friends about it, and we spent another hour or two trying to retrace the steps that I was shown in order for her to experience something similar as well. She was in awe and almost in tears. Thank you so much . . ..”  –STUDENT AT USM
