There is an inner gate within you.

A gentle place to listen inwardly—where protection, longing, and wisdom meet.

Sacred Shadow Work and shamanic healing for sensitive souls who learned to protect themselves to stay safe, offered slowly, one-on-one, and with care—so you don’t have to push, perform, or disappear to belong.

A Shamanic Healing and Energy Medicine Can Help You!

Have you tried many things to address that feeling that “you’re never good enough”, but something still feels missing or isn’t working?

The feeling of “not being good enough” often arises from deep-seated issues. These feelings can originate from past experiences of rejection, failure, criticism, shame, neglect, or childhood trauma.

The Shamanic Way of Healing is a profound journey that explores the physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic dimensions of your being. This holistic approach allows you to release and understand any “stuck” stuff that may leave you feeling inadequate, anxious, unworthy, sadness, insecure, ashamed or stressed.

By delving into your inner self, you can gain insights into the underlying reasons for your struggles. This may include addressing unconscious blocks, wounded beliefs, ancestral patterns, integrate fragmented aspects (through soul retrieval), spiritual imbalances, past-life influences, unhealthy attachments (via cord-cutting), negative energy (through extraction work), and much more.

I can help you learn to protect your energy, change your narrative, make better choices, and take control of your life.

A Shamanic Healing and Energy Medicine approach to recognize and address core wounds, build self-awareness, and break free from repeating negative patterns in relationships and life.

Have you tried various methods to address your issues, yet something still feels missing? The Shamanic Way of Healing explores the spiritual and energetic aspects of your being, as well as the non-ordinary reasons why you may still be struggling, and can’t overcome your fears.

Shamanic Shadow Work assists in uncovering and releasing core wounds, limiting beliefs, and neglected emotions that continue to to cast a long shadow over your life. This approach addresses buried patterns and triggers that subtly or unconsciously pull the strings on your feelings and actions from the shadows.

Let’s work together to address lineage and ancestral patterns, retrieve soul fragments, rectify spiritual imbalances, clear past-life imprints, sever harmful energetic ties and remove energetic intrusions that hinder your awakening to your true self.

Welcome to The Inner Gate

A gentle space for those who learned to protect — and still long to be met.

There are people who want connection, depth, and meaning — and at the same time feel cautious, guarded, or unsure how to open.

If you’ve learned to protect yourself early…
If being seen feels both desired and risky…
If groups feel overwhelming but one-on-one feels safer…
If you long to be chosen, yet hesitate to reach out…

You are not broken.

You adapted.

The Inner Gate exists for people like you.


This is a place where nothing is forced

The Inner Gate is a spiritually grounded healing space rooted in listening, safety, and respect for your nervous system.

Here, healing does not begin with exposure or intensity.
It begins with orientation, presence, and choice.

You are never asked to open faster than you can.
You are never pushed toward vulnerability.
You are met where you are.


A different approach to inner and shamanic healing

Many healing paths prioritize catharsis, breakthroughs, or rapid transformation.

The Inner Gate works differently.

This work honors:

  • Protective patterns as intelligent responses, not obstacles
  • Slowness as wisdom, not resistance
  • Listening as a form of medicine
  • Relationship as the foundation for healing

Depth here is not created through force — but through safety and continuity.


How the work is offered

The Inner Gate is offered primarily through one-on-one sessions that allow trust and inner listening to unfold naturally.

Shamanic healing practices may be woven into the work gently and intuitively, including:

  • Soul remembrance or retrieval
  • Power animal or helping spirit connection
  • Energy healing and nervous system support
  • Gentle cord releasing or boundary repair
  • Ancestral or past-life themes, when appropriate

These practices are not imposed or promised.
They arise only when supportive and welcomed.


Begin here

Most people begin with a single session:

The Inner Gate — Soul Listening Session (1:1)

A gentle, relational healing space where your inner world is met with patience and care.

There is no agenda to change or fix you.
The session unfolds through listening.

For those who feel especially cautious or overwhelmed, an additional entry point is available:

Movement I: Orientation & Safety

A stabilizing offering focused on grounding, containment, and restoring a sense of safety before any deeper work.


You don’t need to know where this leads

You don’t need to be ready.
You don’t need to trust right away.
You don’t need to explain your history.

You are invited simply to arrive —
quietly, gently, and in your own time.

When you are ready, the gate opens from within.

Whether you are looking to release negative energies, uncover unresolved wounds, or establish healthier connections, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My approach transcends traditional talk therapy; through **Shamanic Journeying and Energy Medicine Work**, you will delve into your inner self to address unconscious patterns, sabotaging behaviours, protective mechanisms, and intrusive energies that are undermining your spiritual, physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Transform Your Journey

Shamanic Ceremonies Can Benefit Your Life

Soul Retrieval is a spiritual practice to recover lost or fragmented aspects of your soul, often as a result of trauma or emotional distress. This process promotes healing, reintegration, and a sense of wholeness by reconnecting you with your essential self and inner strength.

A cord-cutting ceremony is a spiritual ritual that helps you release unhealthy emotional or energetic attachments to people, situations, or limiting beliefs. Through guided meditation and connection, this process severs these ties, promoting healing, personal empowerment, and the establishment of healthier boundaries.

Past Life Work is a shamanic practice that involves exploring and processing experiences from previous lifetimes through a guided journey. This work aims to uncover insights, heal emotional wounds, and release limiting beliefs that may carry over into the current life, promoting personal growth and transformation.

Power Retrieval is a spiritual healing process where you will reclaim lost aspects of your personal power, often believed to be disconnected or diminished due to trauma, life challenges, or emotional distress. This practice aims to restore confidence, strength, and a sense of wholeness by retrieving and integrating these lost energies into the person’s current life.

Extraction work is a healing practice that involves removing negative energies, emotional blockages, or intrusive spiritual elements from your body or energy field. This process aims to restore balance and well-being, allowing you to release what no longer serves you and promote overall healing and vitality.

Connection with spirit guides, ancestral spirits, and power animals involves engaging in a spiritual practice where you seek guidance, wisdom, and support from these guides. This work helps enhance personal insight, provide direction in life, and strengthen your sense of identity and belonging. Through meditation and ritual, you will receive messages and teachings that promote healing, growth, and empowerment.

Shamanic journeying is a spiritual practice in which you enter altered states of consciousness to connect with the spirit world. During this journey, you can seek guidance, healing, and insights from spirit guides, ancestors, or other spiritual beings. It serves as a tool for self-discovery, problem-solving, and personal transformation.

Quantum Shamanic Reiki energy healing is a holistic practice that combines principles of Reiki, shamanism, and quantum physics to facilitate deep healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. This approach harnesses universal life force energy and shamanic techniques to clear blockages, restore balance, and promote overall well-being. It aims to align the mind, body, and spirit, fostering transformation and empowerment in the healing journey.

Your journey toward deeper understanding and healing begins now.

As a Shamanic Healer, I serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, providing support to help you better understand, address and release past or present personal issues.

Whatever you’re going through, I can help you navigate it!

  • Are you seeking support and connection on your healing journey?
  • Facing a challenge that seems a little tough to handle on your own?
  • Tired of the unhealthy patterns and behaviours getting the best of you?

I view everyone as a spiritual & energetic being living the human experience, one who addresses and seeks to understand their issues through the mind-body connection. My approach emphasizes curiosity, compassion, creativity, clarity, courage, and connectedness, recognizing that each person’s struggles are unique and personal.

Some people may refer to my work as alternative, but I prefer to see it as complementary. My methods and techniques may differ, but I believe I would be a valuable addition to the therapy practices you may already be involved in. My goal is to create a nurturing space where individuals can share, be heard, and experience a balanced mix of inner shadow work, spiritual/soul healing and energy medicine that promotes overall well-being.

Ultimately, if your goal is to explore yourself, reconnect with your emotions, cultivate a healthy headspace, find answers and purpose, reclaim your life, foster self-acceptance, promote personal growth and mental resilience, and deepen your connection to yourself and others, this journey is worth it!

Are you asking yourself…

Why does it still hurt? Why do certain emotions persist? Why is letting go so hard?

As a Shamanic Healer, I act as an intermediary between the physical and spiritual realms, offering support for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

People seek my services for various reasons, such as:

  • Healing from Illness: Some emotions persist because they are linked to deep-seated beliefs or past experiences we haven’t fully addressed. I can help you address physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances using methods such as soul retrieval work and energy healing, restoring a sense of wholeness.
  • Trauma and Life Challenges: It still hurts a lot because unresolved emotions and traumas don’t just go away over time. They stick around and can show up as physical or emotional pain. Shamanic work will help you process trauma, release negative energies, and promote resilience against issues like anxiety and depression.
  • Personal Growth: Letting go can be challenging because it involves confronting the aspects of ourselves we may prefer to overlook. Shamanic rituals and journeys facilitate self-discovery and authentic living, guiding individuals toward their true potential.
  • Spiritual Guidance: Sometimes we feel alone in our struggles. I can help you connect with ancestors and spirit guides, providing insights into life’s challenges and fostering personal growth.

Hey, thanks for making it this far.

Can I guess you’re intrigued by my work, yet still uncertain if it’s the right fit for you? How about we hop on a phone or Zoom call to chat?

Are you looking for a different approach?

My Shamanic Shadow Work offers a unique practice to address your problems.

When we seek deeper meaning and understanding of ourselves and the world through non-ordinary experiences. We Change. We Revolve. We Thrive.

People seek my help because they want a holistic approach, intuitive guidance, and to deepen their connection with themselves and the world.

  • Spiritual Connection: Do you want to foster personal growth and a better understanding of your place in the world? Shamanic healing can help you reconnect with your spiritual self.
  • Ancestral Healing: Do you want to heal your family line? Shamanic practices can help you address and heal wounds passed down from your ancestors.
  • Life Purpose: Do you want to navigate challenges more intentionally? Shamanic guidance can help you find clarity about your life purpose.
  • Curiosity and Exploration: Do you feel drawn or called to this work? I can help you explore shamanic, mystic and magikal practices to gain your unique perspective and insights.

It still hurts so much because unresolved emotions and traumas don’t simply fade away with time. Instead, they linger, often manifesting in physical and emotional pain. Certain fears remain because they are tied to deep-seated beliefs or past experiences that we’ve not fully processed. Letting go can be so challenging because it involves confronting those hidden aspects of ourselves—the parts we might rather avoid.

Healing is a journey, and it takes time, understanding, and often the courage to face what we’ve buried inside. While uncomfortable, every feeling holds a message and a call for change. If you’re willing to do the work by embracing your shadow and confronting these truths, you can begin healing and move toward physical wholeness, emotional well-being and mental ease.

My perspective

I believe that our issues will not be resolved until we look inward rather than outward for answers and healing.

I believe our issues won’t simply vanish or be resolved by taking something, talking it out, or avoiding the situations.

If you’ve been told to “move on,” “time heals all wounds,” or “just get over it,” you might feel that such advice isn’t helpful. Even if we distance ourselves from the issue or take medication, our problems often persist.

Don’t get me wrong; I believe these approaches can be beneficial. However, if we don’t address the root cause or stuck emotional of our issues, they can worsen because we haven’t resolved the underlying reasons for their existence in the first place.

Let me help you uncover the aspects of yourselves that you are ignoring, denying, or suppressing.

Unresolved feelings and traumas can linger within us, influencing how we perceive and interact with the world. Ignoring or suppressing these issues allows them to unconsciously control our lives in ways we may not even realize, such as through impulsive actions, unexplained fears, self-sabotaging behaviors, limiting beliefs, emotional outbursts, or remaining in unhealthy relationships.

By bringing these overlooked issues to light, we can gain a deeper understanding of why we behave as we do. When we recognize the motives behind our actions and reactions, we empower ourselves to make conscious choices to change and release them.

Addressing our shadow parts is essential for healing and growth. While facing these challenges on a spiritual healing journey can be daunting, that’s where I can help. I am here to support you in taking the first steps toward transformation and finding the release and peace you are seeking.

Healing starts from within, not from external solutions. Pain is a warning sign, not a permanent state. As Young pointed out, suffering can lead to transformation. Pain serves to guide you back to your true self. To begin this journey, stop avoiding your feelings and start listening to what you’ve buried and ignored. Acknowledge your emotions; doing so is critical to finding peace and moving forward.

Suffering isn’t just a mistake; it’s a signal for transformation. Pain indicates that something inside you needs attention. It’s your Soul urging you to change. Every painful experience carries a message that needs to be understood. Instead of viewing pain as an enemy, see it as a guide. Think about how often life has pushed you to change—those shifts likely didn’t happen in comfort. True transformation occurs in chaos. It’s through pain that your psyche seeks to rebuild, marking the beginning of real change.

The shadow-self is your greatest teacher, showing you the areas of yourself that need healing and growth. – Carl Jung.

The shadow-self is your greatest teacher, showing you the areas of yourself that need healing and growth. – Carl Jung.

The Shadow consists of everything you’ve repressed or denied within yourself.

It’s your unacceptable desires, forbidden emotions, contained anger, unvoiced sexuality, ambition masked as humility, and fears you refuse to acknowledge. These parts of yourself remain in the dark, and ignoring them only gives them more power. Think about moments when you exploded for no reason, sabotaged opportunities, or impulsively ended a good relationship. That’s your shadow at work, influencing your thoughts and emotions and shaping your decisions without your awareness.

In practice, facing the unconscious means paying attention to your body’s signals. Notice the stomach pain when you’re with the wrong person, the chest tightness every time you diminish yourself, and the fatigue that comes with forcing a smile. These shadow-side reactions are your unconscious trying to protect you, not harm you.

Carl Jung emphasized that the journey to self-discovery is challenging and requires courage. This courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about taking action despite fear. Facing the unconscious means walking through uncertainty without control. It involves letting go of your mask, dropping the victim mentality, and acknowledging your role in your suffering. This demands brutal honesty and an end to self-deception.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate. ― C.G. Jung

Hey There, I’m Jenn Mališauskas

For as long as I can remember, I have been on a journey to discover who I am and my purpose. It all started long ago when I looked up at the sky as a kid, which sparked a moment of awe when I realized I was on a sphere in the vast universe.

As I navigated life, I felt a deep connection to the magical aspects of myself while struggling with feelings of worry, authenticity, and trust. My shadow self often hindered my dreams, but my spiritual practice helped me break free from those blocks, for which I am grateful.

If you face similar challenges and seek healing and understanding, know you are not alone. Together, we can explore your sacred essence and work through your fears as you grow into the person you are meant to be.

What my clients are saying about working with me

Jennifer is kind, thoughtful & understanding, which allows me to be completely comfortable about opening up, it’s made a difference for me.

Melissa DunnOntario, Canada

I had the pleasure of attending a shamanic session with Jenn, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Jenny’s energy is warm and inviting, and her deep knowledge of shamanic practices truly shines through.

During the session, she guided me through various techniques that helped me connect with my inner self and release any negativity I was holding onto. I felt a profound sense of relaxation and clarity, and I left the session feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Jenn’s intuition and ability to create a safe space for healing are remarkable. I highly recommend her sessions to anyone seeking personal growth and transformation. I enjoyed every moment, and I look forward to returning for more! Thank you, Jenn

My sincere and utmost gratitude to you and your work that is just “out of this world” literally, and brings results to me on the same day!! Transformative, gentle, and so powerful are just a few words to describe how fantastic your shamanic work is!! Your healing sessions got me unstuck, and I can regain peace and strength to move forward with clear thinking. I really enjoyed your in-person healing sessions downtown. It was such a delight and honour to meet you in person. You are so caring, kind, understanding, and a great listener, and you know what to do to resolve the issues. The Zoom sessions we have done together are also very powerful! Thank you! I highly recommend Jennifer.

And, of course, most importantly….you’ll get the results you have been searching for and the answers you have been seeking.

J.M.Retired Admissions Officer - Ontario, Canada

Working with Jennifer changed my life. It opened the doors to deep inner healing that occurred faster in two beginner sessions than months of coaching work or other work combined for years. It got me to the root of my limiting beliefs with regards to relationships and cultivate a healthier relationship with myself, thus improving those in my life. I am so grateful for her guidance and working together.

A.S.Physician - Alberta Canada

Thank you for opening a portal into what has been one of the most profound, sacred spiritual journeys that I’ve ever embarked on. I guess the day I saw you aligned really well with the cosmic frequency. So many connections came to fruition. There is just so much, but I am receiving signs all day. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance. Thank you again; words do not express enough of my gratitude. Light and Love
M.T.Therapist - Ontario, Canada

Hi Jennifer, a quick note to say HOW MUCH things have improved for me since our session. I had normal apprehension and anxiety since then and I was able to sleep well and be with the sensation; it didn’t rule me. My presentation went really well. I can’t believe how helpful these Reiki sessions are, you have a client for life!
