About Us

Shaman Things is the dream project of Gabrielle and Brian, who travel to Peru as often as possible to visit shamanic practitioners and artisans. They strongly support and engage in fair trade practices that help economically empower shaman-artisans. 

Their personal and professional connection is deeply rooted in the grace of spirit. Gabrielle’s journey and connection to spirit and the shamanic path began through her own health and healing journey. Her passion to connect with and support the shamanic and energy medicine culture comes from her deep gratitude for how these tools and this medicine supported a major transformation in her own life.

Gabrielle is a licensed acupuncturist and a doctor of acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine. She is also certified in Shamanic Energy Medicine through the Four Winds School. Gabrielle also trained as an Usui and Holy Fire Reiki Master and in Neurolinguistic Programming and she teaches integrative and diagnostic Reiki courses. She loves integrating the energetic and physiological aspects of the healing process to support positive shifts in people's lives.

Brian is also a licensed acupuncturist and he has a master's degree in Chinese herbal medicine. He developed a lifelong interest in shamanism after reading Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan: a Yaqui Way of Knowledge in his early teens. He has traveled extensively in Mexico and Peru and has attended many workshops on shamanism. Brian is also a devoted student of Tai Chi.
