Medium · Therapist · Shamanic guide

Where the unseen takes shape

You don't come here to be told who you should be, but to return to what you already know. As a medium, therapist and shamanic guide, I give direction to what becomes visible. Spiritual, and with both feet on the ground.

In IJsselstein (NL) and online · call on weekdays between 11:00 and 12:00 CET

Why people come

Sometimes you sense something beneath your story

  • A pattern that keeps coming back, in love, at work or in your family
  • Signals from your body you can’t quite place
  • A relationship that chafes, or something you miss
  • An inner knowing you can no longer ignore

I work with whatever is needed to change a situation, not just to understand it. No two sessions follow the same protocol.

How clients describe my work

Warm. Powerful. Sharp. Safe.

A safe space where nothing is forced. An honest mirror without judgement. And room for emotions, relationships, sexuality, boundaries, trauma and ancestral patterns.

Individual sessions

Work that sets things in motion

I combine mediumship, energy work, hypnosis, psychological guidance and shamanic rituals. At my practice in IJsselstein, or remotely by video, WhatsApp or phone.

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. After that, the full rate applies.

Ceremonies

Come back to the medicine

Fire, smoke, water and silence. In the ceremonies I work with ancient traditions from South and Central America and with Lakota spirituality. You need no experience, only the willingness to open up.

Temazcal · Inipi

Sweat lodge

You enter the womb of Mother Earth in the dark and come out reborn. With the glowing Grandfathers, steam and prayer. Afterwards we share organic soup.

Portrait of Joanne May

About Joanne

My gift did not begin with a training

I was born in Paramaribo, and as a child I already sensed what was left unspoken. Contact with guides and the deceased was always there. To me, mediumship is not a skill I picked up later, but an innate sensitivity.

Life was my first teacher. Later I deepened my gift with training in mediumship, psychology, therapy, energy work and shamanic traditions from the Amazon and the Lakota. My strength lies in that combination: intuition and expertise.

My work is where innate clarity, lived wisdom and craftsmanship come together.

Hoeders van het Hart · Keepers of the Heart

Where love is the ground and truth the compass, there we keep the heart.

A ceremonial circle of souls who together offer weekends, retreats and rituals. We are teachers, and at the same time students.
