Healing Sessions with Christina Pratt, founder of Last Mask Center
We offer an animist, decolonized approach to healing that is rooted in understanding that people fragment when exposed to extreme, prolonged, overwhelming, or unpredictable stress and/or violence. When this fragmentation is not addressed, all other healing occurs on an unstable foundation. This understanding is aligned with science, particularly current brain science, and humanity’s most consistently successful, ancient healing forms.
We focus on the accurate diagnosis of the 4 different types of fragmentation: marginalization, dissociation, shadow, and soul loss, and the effective remedy for retrieval and/or repair. This includes the standard integration process for each type of part and any unique integration steps following the session.
We specialize in unraveling the complexity and entanglement with other energies that tend to happen over time when the core fragmentation is not addressed. This can be the disillusionment and disappointment when other healing modalities that should be successful aren’t, or the continuing harm done in repeating patterns of unhealthy relationships in life and work, addiction, and mental/emotional health issues.
Christina offers remote sessions so healing can be accessed from anywhere in the world. For more details on how sessions work, please check the FAQ.

Who is Shamanic Healing for?
Shamanic healing tends the soul. Soul tending is a remedy for alienation and disconnection, offering a path for restoring joy and meaning to life. Repair of fragmentation can restore connection to the earth, the land, elements, and one’s own true nature, allowing the cultivation of a sense of wholeness free of consumerism and overconsumption.
This healing is for people who experience persistent patterns: chronic mental, physical, or emotional pain, depression, or addictions. The use of altered states gives the practitioner the means to reach the source of that pain in energy/spirit and release that pattern of suffering. This is a way to heal deep soul traumas without re-traumatizing yourself or giving up your power to a healer/teacher.
For people involved in sustained, multi-year healing journeys, the retrieval of lost soul parts restores the fertile inner soil all other healing forms need to root into to give their full effect. Soul loss lies at the core of any PTSD or cPTSD diagnosis. Soul Retrieval healing is essential for people engaged in healing past trauma.
If you experience the dehumanization of systemic injustice, this is a non-colonizer/settler approach to healing unhealthy stress, distraction, the sense that life has no meaning, especially in the face of climate crisis and the unfulfilled desire for a life of meaning. Whether the persistent patterns are personal or generational, the fragmentation is addressed at the source and repaired in the body.
If you enjoy your life, but sense that there is more life is asking of you, you can restore connection to lost aspects of your self that connect you to passion, purpose, desire, and unique genius. Additionally, the realignment with well Ancestors and repair of the relationship with the earth support a spiritually passionate, practical path to explore your full potential to bring your medicine to a world in need.
In a healing, the shaman journeys to the source of the illness or disharmony, in the spirit realm, and effects a change there so that healing can occur here. This means that the shaman is bringing energy back from the spirit world to put it were it belongs in the physical world, or removing energy from the physical world and returning it to were it belongs in the spirit world.
Possible symptoms of soul loss are:
- Feeling fragmented, scattered, ungrounded or simply "not whole."
- Frustration with emotional and behavioral patterns that persist in spite of sincere efforts to resolve them through therapy and other modalities.
- Feeling a hole within that can never be filled.
- Chronic illness physical or emotional, addictions, compulsive behavior, and "ruts."
- The feeling "I've never been the same since..."
Testimonials
"Initiation is a specific transformation. Colonization undermines initiation by design and creates ugly, broken cultures with a complete lack of functional community, true elders, and regenerative relationship with the land and planet. Today, my healing and teaching are offered to honor my teachers, my loves, and the land. My prayer is that it moves us toward the restoration of true animist community, elders, Ancestors, and regenerative relationship with the land."

You do not need to know the exact type of healing that you need before you book a session.
A session includes one or more of the following energetic interventions:
- Divination: offers a way of understanding the challenges currently experienced in the context of the energy body, the soul, and the soul’s purpose
- Prescription: specific actions for the client to take in addition to the usual steps for integration. These include actions like: elemental rituals to perform, energy body visualization practices, or specific practices to cultivate a relationship with nature, the spirits of the land, or other neglected but essential relationships.
- Soul retrieval: the location of fragmented soul parts, negotiation for return, necessary healing, and return of the soul parts to the client’s energy/physical body.
- Energy retrieval: the location and retrieval of other needed energies, e.g., injured body parts, elements of the energy body, power animals, and the “soul force” from cleared past lives.
- Ancestral healing: disentangles and completes the crossing of ancestors stuck in curses, intentional harm, generational harm, and the poor choices of unreconciled lives.
- Extraction: distance extraction clears invasive (specific or systemic) energies from the energy body that do not require an in-person, compassionate depossession process to be removed.
- Energy Body Clearing: offers an overall reset of the energy body structure to a grounded, healthy, and stable state to assist practice following the session. This reset occurs as an energetic intervention when a person cannot or will not engage in regular energy body hygiene.
