Introduction
Indigenous wisdom and practices teach us about living in harmony with nature, respecting the interconnectedness of all living beings, and preserving cultural heritage for future generations. They emphasize the importance of community, storytelling, and sustainable ways of living that can inspire us to adopt more environmentally friendly and socially just lifestyles.
An indigenous medicine person is a bridge between worlds. They often serve as a healer, spiritual guide, and keeper of traditional knowledge within their community. They utilize a combination of herbal remedies, rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Their role extends beyond individual healing to include community leadership, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship.
If you embark on this journey of spiritual healing you will come to understand the value and nature of Indigenous wisdom as a bridge between this world and the spirit world and as a platform for your growth and transformation.

Employing the teachings of her ancestors, Sachi creates profound connections between her clients and ancient healing traditions.

The Living Energies
Indigenous wisdom is based in the knowledge that the we are connected to and interwoven with the Living Energies gifted to us by Mother Earth and Great Creator. For indigenous communities, plant medicines are deeply rooted in cultural traditions and are considered sacred tools for healing, spiritual communion, and connecting with ancestors. They heal, re-align, Re-balance, awaken and activate self knowledge. Plant medicines such as Peyote, San Pedro, Ayahuasca, Iboga and Rape each possess unique properties that can heal grief, release trauma, heal addictions, promote inner transformation, and self empowerment.
It may be wise to give gratitude to and honour all plant medicines and invite them to join you on your journey of spiritual healing and awakening.
Testimonials
I initially went to Sachi for help to detox during my chemo treatments. As that is all I asked for, I somehow expected the effects of her healing would be limited to that (chemo detox). I feel good positive energy and often a significant feeling of unexpected happiness and lightness as I go through my chemo treatment. I am enjoying the benefits and feelings of my well-being.
In fact, I have also had positive changes in other areas that I wasn’t even aware I needed to address. My results from Sachi’s work are much more wide-ranging and all-encompassing than I expected; especially my recognition of a long-time habit of mine to take on problems of others. Through my regular visits with Sachi, I am working on letting go of that habit.
In every session, I always feel so safe with Sachi; which is important to me for my healing.
My deepest gratitude,
A teacher at her very core.
Sachi James offers wisdom and clarity. Her insight and teachings will help you develop your own knowledge, skills and techniques on how to truly integrate well being for yourself in any area of your life.
I am honoured, grateful and very excited to be part of the 2 year – 7 module Chacaruna program starting this fall.
I attended the “Indigenous Teachings about Womanhood” course on January 13th and 14th, 2018 and I highly recommend it to any woman seeking to heal herself.
Sachi is an excellent teacher and gifted group facilitator. She created a respectful learning environment that was well-paced and organized. Concepts were defined and supported by examples that helped facilitate further learning. Beneficial exercises were completed to reinforce and demonstrate the importance of nourishing and connecting with spirit, self and the sisterhood.
I gained further understanding into the dominance of our egos in our lives versus the little awareness we give to our medicine bowl and mother earth. I experienced a greater appreciation of the devastation this pattern has on our essence as women and our ability to feel grounded, use our voices, create personal boundaries and take action in our lives.
This course compliments and enriches my one-on-one sessions with Sachi. It reminds me of the healing that has occurred and the need for me to continue to learn and nourish my spirit being ever mindful each day.
Thank you Sisters for being my witness.
Thank you Sachi for once again leading me through a weekend of transformation. I have a better understanding of how to nurture, protect and listen to my womanhood. Your teachings were inspiring and my path is cleared. And what an amazing group of women! I always look forward to learning more with your guidance and love.
Sachi, once again you and your “Sacred Medicine Ways” have unearthed another part of my buried spirit, giving it life.
Miigwetch,
I truly enjoyed the Indigenous Teachings about Womanhood course, most of my energy is spent helping and taking care of others and often feeling drained, stressed & not valued as a woman.
I left this course full of energy, hopeful and with the tools I need to change the parts of my life that need changing so I can feel valued as a woman and less stressed. I feel this course was a true gift to myself & highly recommend it to others.
Blessings,
Sachi’s course, “Indigenous Teachings about Womanhood” allowed for time to get “in flow” and have an opportunity to connect the dots and more importantly, move beyond awareness to mindful strategies connected to ourselves and to nature’s medicines. A great mix of theory and hands-on.
I am not one to easily dive into group courses with sharing, but the group was warm and sincere and we made a deep connection.
With gratitude…
I’d been seeing Sachi for a few months to deal with menstrual and other health issues I’ve been experiencing, when she mentioned her group workshops on healing. I was hesitant because I liked the one-to-one care and was intimidated by a group process. However, I signed up and I cannot even begin to explain how grounding, healing and supportive this two-day workshop was. I attended Sachi’s Women’s Healing Workshop. Sachi’s facilitation style takes you gently and confidently towards your own spiritual path, provides you with the knowledge to use indigenous medicine to heal yourself and challenges you to receive the healing available to you. She creates an environment that is supportive, individualized through partner work and promotes safety in the space through reflection and sharing. I now want to go to ALL her workshops – not only did I take away skills, there is so much hands-on healing that takes place, you actually do the healing work while you are learning about it.
I just completed the “Womanhood – Healing & Self Discovery” course today. Every course I take with Sachi is an amazing experience – the learning, the healing, the understanding and personal growth that takes place in me and the other amazing women who come together is profound.
Sachi is truly an awesome teacher and gifted Shamanic healer.
I have participated in three of Sachi’s workshops. Each time I have left experiencing the wonder of yet another opening in my spiritual journey. The most recent course was “Women of Spirit Indigenous Teachings about Womanhood”, and I left feeling greatly healed and with a feeling of joy and celebration of womanhood and sisterhood. Thank you Sachi for just the right touch–gentleness, firmness and generosity of spirit.
When I initially started seeing Sachi and attending her workshops, I had been caught up in daily life with trying to deal with PTSD and endometriosis. Since working with Sachi to reach the point that what doctors thought was endometriosis is completely gone, and my Complex PTSD symptoms dramatically reduced such that I no longer need medication to sleep at night. I have now been able to move to a new chapter of my life and journey entirely. But the healing didn’t stop with these two significant issues!
Now that I’m not bogged down by the daily trauma of PTSD and half of my month isn’t taken up by physical pain, I’ve been able to work with Sachi to get an incredible new focus on developing my innate gifts – some of which have never before had the space to be developed. The workshops and one-on-one sessions with Sachi have completely changed my life in the best way possible. I’m increasingly becoming more confident and powerful in myself; and my spouse and friends are all amazed and thrilled for me with the transformation. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for having discovered Sachi and the ability to work with her on my journey of healing and empowerment!!!
By the way – the healing has been continuing and it’s really building cumulatively! Thank you so much for such an incredible workshop last weekend.
Sachi is the real deal! There are so many options of workshops and retreats out there. It can be a daunting task to find an authentic, genuine, course to take. Sachi is a medical and spiritual intuitive. She has real connections to spirit and spirit guides who guide her throughout her workshops. I also see Sachi personally. Every insight, or question Sachi presents to me, I immediately, intuitively, go yes…that makes sense, I understand.
With regard to the recent workshop, “Women of Spirit Wisdom, Part 1”; this was a very grounding and connecting course. I became aware of a “Medicine Bowl” surrounding my feminine parts, and energy centres, which I didn’t realize existed or needed clearing. I am familiar with the Chakra system, and in some ways the medicine bowl mirrored some of the chakras. However, this was a unique understanding and healing of the dirt we as women collect, and the reclaiming of our personal power.
I would highly recommend any workshop, offering, or connection with Sachi.
Cheers,
