Munirah Alam, MA

licensed professional counselor (lpc)
initiated shamanic practitioner

Through my 15+ years as a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselor and my personal healing journey, I discovered that Western Psychotherapy alone has clear limitations. Once I began healing via ancient Shamanic practices and stepping into my path as a Mystic, I began to experience miracles.

Long ago, I could not speak when spoken to, I was suicidal and suffered from major depression. I sacrificed myself in every relationship, and my body was rapidly declining from autoimmune disorders. Throughout my life, I have faced discrimination, tragic loss, and near-death experiences. I have been manipulated, controlled, demonized, and judged. After undergoing 20 years of rigorous training and inner work as a Shamanic Practitioner, I emerged free of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical illness, even healing from an autoimmune disorder that Western Medicine labels "incurable." My path has led me to be a guide, leading my clients to deep, profound transformation.

I'm a Mover and Shaker in the field of Psychology, a Mother, Business Owner, and Seeker of Truth- dedicated to taking others on the path of Profound Healing, Life Success, and Reclaiming their Birthrights.

SHAMANIC Roots

My Shamanic training is rooted in ancient traditions and practices of the Taino Indians indigenous to the Caribbean. The rich & diverse cultural history at the root of these practices offers healing for people all over the world, regardless of their cultural and spiritual backgrounds.

Shamanic methods of healing incorporate ceremony & ritual, herbal medicine, dance, energy medicine, meditations, mediumship, and the healing of ancestral and generational trauma. The work is profound; it moves people towards wholeness, empowerment, freedom, and purpose in life.
