About ShMaya Houtman
Founder of Good for the Soul - ShMaya is part of a new breed of health professional and works to bridge the gap between spiritual and scientific - bringing ancient cross-cultural healing methods into our modern culture to address the needs of our times.
I am a clinical social worker and the principal therapist of a therapeutic program for children traumatised by abuse and neglect. I am working to incorporate shamanic principles into mainstream practice settings.
As a Mental Health Social Worker, I provide training for mental health professionals in the use of nature as a partner in psychotherapy.
I believe that Western society has gone a little bit off balance, and the manner in which the helping fields of social work, psychology and psychotherapy are currently developing is merely a reflection of this dominant paradigm. Psychotherapy has only been around for about 100 years, so is a very young field and is based on a paradigm that is quickly shifting. I truly believe that if we want to adapt to the changing conditions of the time then we need to rethink how we help people.
I combine ancient cross cultural healing methods with my knowledge of contemporary western therapies to provide therapies that work on a soul level because I find that this helps people to live fuller, healthier lives.
