Thank you for releasing so much pain for me today. Words cannot express what you helped me to do, but wanted you to know that it was real, very, very helpful and I am grateful. The images I realized, and feeling in my soul, of of intense pain and release, will stay with me all-ways (yes, all ways).

Josephine’s strong intuition and innate healing powers shine through in her astrology readings, clearings, and massage therapy sessions. She is one of the most integral healers I’ve been blessed to know and receive treatments / readings from.
Her massage sessions dig deep into the physical and energetic. She has a gift for moving unwanted or stuck energy from the body. Her astrology readings are always spot on. LW |
Josephine is the real deal. Not only is she a powerful and transformative medicine woman, she is also one of the most loving and most compassionate people I know. Whether you are looking for a personal hands-on healing, an astrology reading, a group energetic hygiene class, a space clearing, or a ritual, Josephine shows up fully and powerfully for it all. I have come to her for all of these things at different times, and always leave changed for the better. I am so glad she is a part of my life and that I can turn to her again and again when I am needing compassion, care, energetic release, knowledge, and love. I cannot say enough good things about her, her gifts, and her dedication to the evolution of all beings and pacha mama. JC
Josephine is a special soul. Her massages are amazing, she is a truly gifted healer. CA
Josephine brings depth, wisdom, and joy. Sessions with her leave me feeling understood, renewed and inspired. JF

I would like to share some of my amazing
Integration I've experienced..... physically I feel Settling/soreness in the back of my heart... like an expansion. My close friends tell me my voice has changed. And most importantly, for the first time ever I feel like should be here, I don't want to hide or disappear anymore. It's a very calm confidence. It has been beautiful. I am so tremendously grateful. Thank you! |
So immensely grateful for our session. Thank you for allowing me the space to grieve and move deeper into healing.

She had been suffering this terribly for a long time. She had had all kinds of people, supposed professionals of various kinds, come try to address the matter and largely to no avail whatsoever. So this is nothing short of deliverance. Life-changing, truly.

I do not know what you do but when I leave I am happy. You can not put a price on that. BC

Josephine has an amazing ability to hone in what you need and use her wide range of tools to assist you in your path of healing. She has “shamanic opera massage skills” in which she doesn’t just give a massage but can assist on an energetic level to release and relieve your body. She is also gifted at listening to her clients to provide advice that will continue to help heal in the future. Her work space is safe, welcoming and relaxing. I highly recommend her for shamanic healing and massage sessions. CT

Miracle recovery. Wrist totally pain free this morning! Thank you Josephine Thomason for doing what I might have done for someone else but could not do for myself: get under the pain to the causes, physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual. Do the work, then set me free. So grateful!

My Shaman, Josephine.
My grandmother who lived to be 99 used to tell me that anger caused cancer and that grief would make your body older than your years. She meant these things literally, that the body suffers and holds onto emotions you refuse or are unable to process and that by doing so your body becomes damaged and susceptible to disease. Despite her sage advice I still developed some unhealthy habits. Like any habit good or bad, it was mostly through negligence or convenience that I quit taking time to deal with my emotions. It is true that I suffered through some traumatic experiences and that when I even considered trying to process all of it; I imagined digging myself out of an avalanche. As a mother, and thankful beyond words to be one, I also felt that it would be selfish to take time away from my family just so I could grieve. There are probably a multitude of rationalizations to insert here, but the reality is a habit is a habit, and I made a habit of shoving my pain down as far as it would go. Until I couldn’t breathe. I spent months visiting allopathic professionals for a host of ailments; pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchitis, injured and bleeding bronchia. Each diagnosis brought more medications, but little relief. I was on steroids and using inhalers to breathe at all. I started suffering panic attacks, waking in the middle of the night scared and unable to breathe. In order to breathe at all while I slept, I had to sleep sitting up propped by pillows. Meanwhile, my immunity completely dissolved. As an early childhood educator, I was suffering from every sickness that came through my classroom; pink eye, strep throat, sinus colds and infections. Josephine offered to help me. Josephine heals with therapeutic massage. That however, is only one of the many paths to healing that she offers. Josephine began my process of healing by connecting with my energy to interpret how to balance me with the support of essences; at a microbial level and at an energetic level. She also worked to open my chakras. I have had people work on my chakras in the past, but I have never had an experience like this. Josephine used a combination of touch and vocalization. Her voice is hypnotic, like the sounds of ancient tribes wailing to your soul. As she worked, I was able to see huge, multi-faceted jewels before me. They seemed more made of light than of beryl. As Josephine worked through the chakras the jeweled lights changed colors, but remained huge and spinning before my eyes whether my eyes were opened or closed. Her vocalizations carried me through many healing spaces. I felt as if I was moving through time and space, long gone caves and hogans and huts, but I always felt safe and nurtured. When Josephine found one of the biggest pockets of stored up grief she stopped and we discussed several approaches to healing me. She gave me descriptions of how each approach might feel and how I might feel. This mass of unresolved emotions was literally crushing my lungs. I could not breathe. I chose one of the more intense paths that Josephine offered me. Rather than peeling away pieces slowly like layers of an onion, I asked if we could, metaphorically, take a railroad spike and crack it open like a coconut. Josephine agreed with this path, or if it became too intense, a slightly milder compromise… a coconut onion cocktail. She began again with touch and rhythmic vocalizations focusing all her attention on the area of my upper abdomen on my left side. Instantly my heart began to ache in a way known to me only from my dreams. I have dreams where I talk with my loved ones who have died, we laugh and sing in sunny places like a family picnic and I am joyful in the dream, but often wake up having been crying. While Josephine worked on this area, the jeweled visions from before returned, but I saw only the yellow or the green jeweled lights. In this vision the jewels were sometimes occluded by an oily black liquid. As I started to cry, the oily black liquid would thin out. In some places I could see through it and in other places it began to wash away completely. I became aware of two things simultaneously; one is that I was sobbing and the other is that when I inhaled between sobs, I could inhale very deeply. Visions came to me the whole time of the people who I have lost. Some who tried so hard to get here, to be here or to stay here and others who were ready to go, but I couldn’t let them. I could feel Josephine’s hands the entire time moving tight tissue and sore muscles and making the area pliable. I felt blood and warmth moving into areas that had for months been feeling like cold solid rock. After my first treatment with Josephine we made a plan for my continued healing. It’s been several months since that first session. My lungs are healed and I no longer use inhalers or steroids to breathe. My body is stronger and I sleep peacefully, lying down on only one pillow. I have made some other changes in my life, my lifestyle and my health habits. The main thing I notice is that the overwhelming sense of dread and fear that accompanied all of the health problems, is gone as well. I start my days optimistically and feel peaceful often. I know I still have some repair work to do for this broken body and broken soul, but I have found a Shaman who is going to help me with that.
