Born and raised in Brazil, Andréa Ararê combines healing gifts with the knowledge of native healing rituals, Somatic Therapy, and a wealth of feminine empowerment tools. Initiated in shamanic practices three decades ago, Andréa has been creating beautiful ceremonial spaces, bespoke healing sessions, workshops, and retreats for over 10 years.
​
I am a shamanic practitioner and healer with more than 10 years of experience in healing practices.
I create safe group spaces for healing, awareness, empowerment, and higher levels of consciousness, leading ceremonies for women, currently in London.
​
In individual healing sessions, I use tools and techniques learned over the past 30 years, and I combine complementary modalities of healing. I have been successfully combining shamanic healing with somatic therapy with a long list of positive results.
​
I offer individual healing and therapeutical sessions, Women's Circles, online Moon Ceremonies, and I teach women to reconnect with their feminine wisdom in order to help them rediscover their power to heal themselves.
Andrea's work has garnered recognition, with features in Tatler Magazine, Woman&Home, and Natural Health.

TATTLER MAGAZINE CALLED HER WORK "LIFE-CHANGING"
My journey as a shamanic practitioner began at the age of 19, under the guidance of a native Brazilian teacher, and continued for two years. I was bestowed with the name Ararê, which means "friend of parrots" in the native Tupi language. This naming ceremony marked a significant milestone in my spiritual journey and reinforced my connection with the natural world. I've always had a deep love of and interest in nature and spirituality, and Shamanism encompasses this perfect combination.
​
Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition and a way to honor and connect with nature and reconnect with the self. Through studies and practices, I developed an understanding of honoring nature’s intrinsic wisdom and human’s natural ability to heal.
Andrea pursued a career as an electrical engineer, honing strong problem-solving skills and a keen eye for identifying patterns. Simultaneously, she pursued advanced training as a massage therapist and had the privilege of working in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro, providing compassionate care to those in need.
​
Her spiritual search began at the age of 14, when she developed a curiosity for philosophical and spiritual topics. This led her to become the youngest energy healer worker at a respectful Kardecism Center.
​
In their London home, Andréa resides with her husband and their child in a house with a fig tree. Music and sports play a significant role in their daily lives
