I welcome you to the Medicine Circle! I created the Medicine Circle website to keep in touch and inform you about healing. In these pages, I share healing stories about the benefits of Reiki and Shamanic Healing. I try to remain aware and make observations about the healing that occurs in my own life as I continue to practice, for myself and to help others. I am amazed and humbled by the benevolent compassionate healing forces that are around us - and often, all we need to do is ask for help and have an intention to heal and change. My goal with the site and in my practice is to provide self-empowering tools to others, provide healing through Reiki and Shamanism and offer some guidance in using both modalities. The website is intented to be a resource and I do hope that it will inspire you to cross a bridge and move into a new place in your life where you can reach higher realms within yourself. New material will be added regurlarly...so come and see us often. Please see the list of updates below.
I now teach a 1-year Shamanic Healing Training Program. If you are interested in finding out more information about the training, please read below for details. The training is reserved to my clients who have had at least a soul retrieval session with me. If you would like more information, please e-mail me here: info@medicinecircle.ca PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT HOLD PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONIES. I TEACH SHAMANIC HEALING USING THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY, DRUMMING AND RATTLING ETC. THANK YOU AND BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH.
Be well, -daniel
Testimonials Thank you, thank you, thank you! Last night was the first night that I slept without coughing my insides out in two weeks. You really are a true healer and I am blessed to know you and to have you in my life. I also didn't throw up and felt almost normal for the first time in 10 weeks. Kam Toor, Owner, Balance Integrated Healthcare
Thank you again for coming over and facilitating the reclaiming of soul pieces for me. As you mentioned you brought back a lot of power to me and I am grateful for this and for the connection to my Spirit Helper. Along with feeling spiritually inspired by the session - the pain I have been experiencing at my back is down even more since Saturday which is great. You truly are very gifted as a healer to do so much. Onyx Uriarte, RMT
Just wanted to pass on a little note to say a huge thank you for your gift to me and my soul. It was much needed and I know this is such a valuable tool and I wish everyone had this happen to them.

I suffered from depression for over 20 yrs. After the first 4years or so, I got to the point where drugs just didn’t work for me anymore. This led me to do more and more inner psychological work. But while I was learning and understanding so much about myself, I had no idea how to change how I felt.
Changing the way one thinks, I found out, wasn’t so hard, but how does one change what one feels. This is what almost drove me out of my mind; this was my greatest challenge. I mean, what’s the use of knowing so much but still be too scared to walk out my front door. I had the mind of an adult yet felt emotionally like a child. Powerless in my own personal prison.
This is what led me to seek Daniel’s help.
I was so tired of living like two people, one a child the other an adult. I felt fragmented. I had no idea if shamanic healing would actually work for me or what it was, but it did…………It took about 7 weeks to see the changes in myself but each day I still see changes. I still have my low moments but now I have the strength to fight them. Savita
Feedback from a participant in the 1-year program
I would like to again thank you for your work on the weekend! The change has been incredible. I have been searching for years trying to find a cure for how I felt, and you managed to get the results within one weekend. I gained confidence over night, my social anxiety has largely disappeared and I feel in my body again. Thanks so much! I really look forward to learning more!
