A Holistic Wellness Bookshop
Welcome to my student bookshop with resources for holistic living and healing. Resources I did not directly produce (except articles) contain affiliate links to independent shops as an alternative to shopping at Amazon or big box stores.
These include Shaman’s Market – a business that supports Indigenous communities around the globe and uses ethically sourced, eco-friendly products.
And Bookshop.org – a platform that gives independent bookstores tools and resources to compete online and maintain their presence in local communities.
Purchasing through these links (including the links above) helps support these small businesses and Inkwood Healing.

Recommended Crystals for Reiki Healing
Black Tourmaline – Used for clearing or absorbing negative energy and/or grounding (placed between or below the recipient’s feet).
Selenite – Selenite is the pain eraser. Place it at or near the site of acute pain while you work on yourself or another.
Clear Quartz – Used for directing or magnifying energy. An excellent stone for intention/programming.
Rose Quartz – The love stone! Place these beautiful pink hearts on the heart chakra when someone is in emotional pain and/or could use a boost of love.

Shamanic Resources
In my Spotify profile, I’ve created several playlists dedicated to Norse shamanic music and drumming that I recommend for journeying.
Chosen By the Spirits, by the shamaness Sarangerel, is an introduction to Mongolian and Buryat shamanism, with exercises and rituals throughout.
Shaman, Healer, Sage, is a good introduction to Alberto Villoldo’s style of South American shamanic healing, and what he teaches through the Four Winds Institute.
Shamanic Reiki by Lyn Roberts and Robert Levy has been an instrumental resource for my practice. Not an introduction to either Reiki or shamanism, but a way to blend them into one practice.
The Woman in the Shaman’s Body, by Barbara Tedlock counters the assumption that most shamans in ancient times were men. It is a beautiful and inspiring collection of shamanic experiences and stories that lift up the power of women in shamanism – past and present.
