Mary Raymakers
Resident Shaman Healer
 We are delighted to announce that the Relational Life Institute now offers the services of a traditional healer who accompanies us to our workshops. Drawing from the Incan shaman tradition, Mary Raymakers is available before, in the evenings of, and a day or so following our workshops should you wish to book time with her. Her work focuses on the clearing of pain that is being held in your body, and involves limited light touch (it is not primarily a hands-on healing technique.) Mary has been working as a shaman for 8 years, and has been working with RLI workshop participants for the past 6 months. Each individual session usually lasts about 2 hours. If you are interested in learning more about this healing technique, please contact us at 1-877-REAL-414.
Here’s what one past participant had to say about Mary:
"My work with Mary Raymakers was the final piece to healing my past pain and trauma, both physical and emotional. The two-hour session was over before I knew it and I left feeling at peace with myself and strong to live my life in the present and excited about the future. I saved myself years of future therapy and physical symptoms and illness by this unique and wonderful work. I am grateful to Mary, as she changed my life with her gift.” – Donna, Denver CO
From Terry:
Mary Raymakers first came to our attention as a workshop participant herself. She felt deeply inspired by our work and began professional training with us for her own development, even though she is not a mental health professional. In the past, other non mental health professionals - doctors, lawyers, business consultants - have trained with us for their own edification. On their own, other RLI trainees began asking Mary to work on them and their reports were so remarkable that in the fall of 2007 we asked Mary to offer her services as part of the Institute. Since then, dozens of people have worked with her, and thus far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
We make no claim to understand why Mary Raymakers’ work seems to move people so deeply--certainly Relational Life Therapy has no particular alignment with the beliefs of an indiginous spiritual healer. We do take note, however, that many therapeutic techniques are employed without fully understanding how they work. E.M.D.R. for trauma is an example, as is E.C.T. (“shock therapy”) for depression. If you'd asked me a year ago if I was planning on adding the work of a traditional shaman to our offerings I would have laughed. But not only am I pleased to offer this, I feel inspired to offer other helpful experiences to support those who wish to participate in the daily practice of living relationally. We welcome your feedback.
All the best,
Terry Real
