"Irma, and Judy from Shamanic Fire Reiki shed a bright light on my spiritual path. They share their healing knowledge and medicine with a big heart of compassion. I've attended many ceremonies and workshops with them for many years and still to this day. Friendship has grown, they are my extended family. Huge gratitude to SFR for welcoming me and many others as part of the community. Wishing SFR all the best, many blessings, and looking forward to many more sacred time together. " -D.W.-
"I recently attended the "Casting Light on Our Shadows with Healing Plant Allies" facilitated by Irma StarSpirit Turtle Woman" and the experience was so clarifying and healing. Irma is a wonderful healer who is very intuitive and supportive. She noticed right away where I needed to focus my energy to get the healing I needed and even followed up with me to make sure that I was ok after the workshop. Irma is the real deal! I look forward to us working together in the near future." ~Z.N.~
THE HEALING DRUM INTENSIVE:
"I have deep gratitude that I was able to bond with my medicine drum under Irma StarSpirit Woman's guidance. It was a delicious experience to bless and feed the spirit of my drum, and learn how to connect in rhythm with it. I found I took to the drum quite easily, and the light singing I began to channel became easy for me. I also found that I loved to move with my drum. I am so excited to bond with it, and am looking forward to deepening my connection with it in service to Mother Gaia. It was really fun to learn different rhythms and melodies, and to use my voice. It was a very visceral experience. Thank you, Irma!" ~M.A.~
"This was the second time in less than four years I have taken Irma's Drum Intensive class -- it's that wonderful!! More than just teaching us how to play the drum in different ways and how to care for it, Irma leads us into a sacred relationship with that particular drum (which is why I felt I had to come back with a different drum). She teaches us how to use the drum as a healing tool in and of itself. As always, Irma's kind heart and her depth of knowledge creates a safe space in which to learn, be healed and be an instrument of healing to others. Even if you know how to drum, come to Irma' next class and step into a deeper level of drumming. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!" - L.S.
"I've played drums in the past, but never in a Shamanic setting so I was completely new to it when I joined the Healing Drum Intensive. Irma is a warm and inviting instructor with a manner that benefits both the completely new and experienced. Her leadership made me feel very accepted into a realm that I'm just beginning to explore, which was key to my learning. I was in awe of what I experienced while journeying and being healed, as well as amazed by what I could already do as a healer. The energy among the students was fantastic, leading to a bond that I didn't think I could feel with people I'd met just that day. I left feeling healed, connected, and empowered for a much brighter future. I highly recommend this workshop." - C.Y.
"Healing drum work is extremely powerful. It brings together the vibrations of our drums, our heartbeat, and our voices harmonizing with the heartbeat of creation. Irma is a wonderful teacher who has not only mastered the techniques necessary but is able to teach them with respect, gentleness, energy and deep listening. A truly powerful and beautiful experience." ~J.R.
"The Healing Drum Intensive workshop was quite informative and gave me a greater sense of appreciation and respect for my drum. I always loved the sound of drums, but did not know how it should be properly cleansed, nurtured and used for healing of the self and others.
Irma was thorough and patient in guiding everyone with step by step instructions and took the time to make certain that each person followed the process correctly. This is key, for those who intend to use drumming as a healing tool in their work." -N.R.
"It was my first drumming class with Irma StarSpirit and one that I will never forget.
The class was small and intimate and Irma's good energy always attracts kind and open people.
We learned how to drum and sing at the same time while discovering the healing secrets of the drum.
Irma's step by step instruction slowly opened all of us to the power and importance of the drum.
I highly recommend taking a class with this wonderful shaman". -L.R.
"From the moment I walked into the room I was embraced by Irma StarSpirit Woman and wonderful energy. Feeling safe, supported and loved. The Healing Drum Intensive connected me with my drum, skin to skin, learning how to heal and healing at the same time. I found my voice within the vibrations of the drum and confidence within the wood of its frame. I am grateful and blessed to have walked this path with Irma and ready to move forward with confidence in becoming a healer and Medicine Woman." -M.R.
"The Healing Drum Intensive class was the most fascinating and fastest 7 hours I have spent in a long time. For those of us trying to meditate 15 minutes a day, this was an incredibly uplifting and deep experience. As you all know, any time with Irma is a real treat but this one was special. First, creating connection with our drums turned to be very personal and introspective. Then, the basics of drumming and song were a lot of fun. Going into deep journey while we heard each others' songs was unbelievable. I didn't expect to be in a roomful of potential opera singers opening up from the bottom of their hearts. I found my own song from the soul. And then, to cap it off, our mutual drum healing exercise was incredible. Irma is not only a master of her craft, a dear soul of light, but also a great teacher who can gently bring across complex forms for everyone to understand and experience personally.." -R. B.
"The healing drum intensive was a good introduction to working with a drum from the shamanic perspective. Irma provided clear instructions, feedback, and supervision during the activities. As a first time drummer, it was easy to follow along. I would recommend this workshop to anyone interested in using their drum to facilitate healing." –D.Z.
“Within a beautiful circle, guided by Irma Star Spirit, I learned to drum, not with my hands but with my heart and all of my being! Irma's love of teaching from her heart and her wisdom had me and group drumming in divine harmony - singing and dancing, releasing light and love - healing ourselves and each other. Her drum workshop is a path to fully immersing one's self into the Cosmic essence that flows within all and each of us.”--U.D.M.
“The workshop felt like a gently loving yet powerful wake-up call from spirit. Irma and the spirit allies provided a safe space that allowed the natural flow of our voices to run free, each voice connected to the voice of each drum, each drum sound connected to the deepest of our soul, forming a healing circle of love and unity. In silent we listened, in singing we connected. I remember in our circle of oneness each voice was delightfully unique, nostalgic and familiar. We are one. Thank you Irma Spirit Woman for offering a time and space to reconnect” ~F.A.
THE VOGEL WAND TECHNIQUE CLASS:
"The Vogel Wand sounds magical, esoteric and too removed to be applicable in an effective way for transformation and healing - is what first came into my mind when I read that a class was being offered. After second thoughts, I said why not, go for it and I emailed to have a spot reserved for me. My experience that Sunday, during the class was seismic, the healing properties were at the highest vibrations and most direct that I’ve encountered thus far, in my journey of learning and applying healing modalities and methods. Through written/spoken instructions, as well as live demonstrations of the work, I was able to receive instant healing from a classmate, and in turn instantly facilitated in healing her. As a facilitator, I’ve had the great honor and blessing of having the teachings of Marcel Vogel passed along to me by “Irma Star Spirit Woman”. Her method of teaching this technique and the radiant energy of her being makes this class a must for anyone who is walking the path of being an advanced healer. We all heal each other on some level, however, with this technique, one is able to diagnose client and perform precise instantaneous healing on a very deep level. The Vogel Wand technique is a powerful gift, left to us by someone who practiced great love, and it is being taught by Irma Star Spirit Woman- who embodies and vibrates love. In a word, I am “overjoyed “ that I now know how to use this magical tool."
--UDM
"I have been working with Irma Star Spirit Woman for several years now. All her classes are profound experiences in learning and self-discovery. She is a master of the guided meditation. Her gentle, loving, inspiring ways take you by the hand in a voyage of the spirit. The class on Vogel wand is one of her best. She is a wonderful spokesperson for the late Dr. Vogel because she believes in it and it is a natural extension of her own practice and background. The Vogel wand is a genuinely powerful tool that comes to life with Irma’s guidance. You will not want to leave home without one afterwards!" ~R.B.
"The Vogel crystal healing technique workshop with Irma was just what I was looking for.
I’ve had a Vogel crystal to use in fluid extractions but I wanted to learn more techniques and deepen my connection with my Vogel. During the class we went over the energy field & chakras, history about Marcel Vogel, his passion, prayers, and invention including numerological insights. I was happy to learn how to energize and program the Vogel, then we moved on to the core healing technique using the Vogel with the breath, color therapy, and loving intent. Added bonus was to learn methods for our own self-healing with the Vogel, and the two pendulum technique to deeply verify processes. It is always a delight to work with Irma!" -A. A.
"I didn't expect that something so light and gentle as a crystal could become a deep powerful instrument for extraction, I tried pretty good limpias and clearings in the past but nothing compared to the Vogel wand extraction. I still remember my energetic body opening, feeling in my gut a forgotten and stuck cry ready to be release and transform. The class was offered in a safe, sacred space which made it really comfortable for me to explore and trust my partner in practice. Irma Starspirit used her heart and abilities to guide us and help us in our learning and healing process." ~F.A.~
"I Thank Irma so much for bringing the Vogel crystal healing medicine forward. In studying with another shamanic tradition, I was introduced to the Vogel crystal wand and used it in a very specific way. I could tell there was more to learn about this beautiful, double-pointed crystal and when I saw that she was offering a class in Vogel Healing Technique, I jumped at the chance. First and foremost, because having taken her Healing Drum Intensive, I knew I could trust her to create and maintain a safe, loving environment in which to work. Not only did I learn a great deal more about who Vogel was and what his intention in creating these crystal wands was; I also learned more about how important it is to work with a clear intention when using such a powerful tool. Through the class exercises and working with other students, I also learned how to trust my instincts when working as a healing conduit and, therefore, I learned to trust myself more. Such a gift on so many levels. May she be blessed for bringing this medicine forward." ~ L.S.F.~
ONE ON ONE HEALING SESSIONS:
"My session began with a simple authentic sharing space about where I was and what I was going through. The open sharing Irma offered was emotionally intelligent and rooted in heart medicine and wisdom. Her gentle candor was like that of a mother or friend. The session enabled me the private space I needed to get clear while I was in Irma's supportive healing space. Irma is a shaman for every season. The real beauty to a session with her, however, is the rolling effect the session has days after the actual appointment. Specific to the intention I held for my session my heart throbbed with a feeling of love and wholeness for days to come after working with Irma. If you don't want to move through grief alone, set some time aside to work this this gifted healer."
-K. Evans
"I had my first and only reading and cleansing I suppose you can say by Irma and she was phenomenal. I look forward to our next meeting. I walked in nervous not knowing to expect and at the end of our session I felt like a 200lb weight has been lifted. I felt an instant connection and trust in her and let myself go 100% into the session. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. "
-J.W.
"Irma is a wonderful, knowledgeable and patient teacher. She brings a uniqueness to her workshops along with genuine information that has been passed down to her. During a healing, you almost instantaneously feel transformed by love and guidance. She has been a blessing."
-C. F.
"I had two sessions with Irma. She was able to describe my personality very
well, without knowing me. I was amazed how she used the candle to uncover the mental conflict I was going through. Another thing I loved was her ability to work with me, using my cultural background and what I needed to change in my life."
-B.
My name is Z.P., I lost my first child, my darling little girl on March 5,
1975, she lived for 17 hours. I was devastated to say the least and I was never
able to let go and put her to rest in my mind and heart. All of these years no
matter what happened in life I carried sadness and a profound heaviness that
that wouldn't leave my soul. I was bless with three other amazing children who
brought much happiness to my life but the sadness and heaviness never went
away. Then I was blessed to meet Irma, my Earth Angel sent from God to me. Irma
took me on a healing journey that finally allowed me to let go. It was a
beautiful, amazing, life changing experience !
Thank you Star Spirit Woman for being a true" healer" in every sense of the word. Your love for human kind, mother earth, animals, flowers, all and every creation of God is felt deeply in my heart and inspires me daily. I thank God every day for sending me to you because so many aspects of my life have changed in such positive complex and simple ways.
Love, Light,
Blessings
-Z.P.
MEDICINEWAY SHAMANIC APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM:
"Irma is an amazing teacher and friend, most loving person with a big heart! She will make you feel so special, comfortable and supported at the class. Absolutely must take this course if you are interested in exploring inner worlds and honor Toltec, Maya & Indigenous traditions, being in service of the healing for all." ~D.D.~2018
“I can write a book from my experience of being a part of Irma’s apprenticeship. Not only did this experience empower me but it offered me the tools to see, embrace, appreciate, and honor my family lineage and my blessing of being able to help and heal others. While learning how to heal and help others you are also shown how to use your own tools to help and heal yourself. I like to say “teachings that you will carry with you always and for a life time and generations”; its life changing, amazing, and illuminating. You meet amazing heartfelt compassionate people who with their own light and energy add their own spark to the group. It is definitely an all around investment that will have endless return for generations.”
V. R.~2014
"Irma is like a giant tree, deeply rooted with many nurturing branches- she illuminates and edifies with her knowledge and being, and reminds me to courageously re-awaken to the way, and to walk the path with gentle strength and an open heart. In each class a veil of mystery is lifted for me, and if I were to master just one lesson, I could happily facilitate in healing and transforming many lives. The scope of material that she teaches electrifies me and her hands on methods allows for exploration of one’s gifts, as we are all unique. There’s a wonderful sense of comradery amongst myself and fellow classmates as we’re all journeying together into the unknown. Irma teaches traditional and varied methods that I truly believe are beneficial to all healers, regardless of beliefs. Her abundant radiant spirit, breadth of knowledge and open heart is rare to encounter, and I know that I am showered upon by the Light of Creation to have her as my teacher, guide and friend. "
UDM~2014
“My ancestors guided me to work with Irma StarSpirit. My “gifts” have increased immensely since I began my very first class with her. The lessons have been incredible; fun and filled with so much knowledge. I have gained so much and am, eternally, grateful to Irma for sharing her wisdom with us.” ~ M.H.~2015
"Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise and allowing us to explore the techniques of shamanic healing as we strengthen our intuition and inner voice. We practice in a supporting atmosphere as we learn to trust ourselves and become empowered so we can use our skills to heal others as well as ourselves. "
~M.B.~
“Irma StarSpirit is a a beautiful soul and teacher who really comes forth and passes on all her knowledge directly from the heart. She is thorough, informative, gentle, and firm. She really strives to pull the best out of you as her student. Taking her classes have been transformative for me and I am grateful to have her be my mentor and teacher of this ancient medicine. "
T.R.
“Irma is a wonderful soul dedicated to sharing her wisdom. Her light, compassion and dedication are an inspiration and her apprenticeship program ensures you both learn and grow in equal measure. A truly transformational experience which you should not miss.”
H. O.
“If you already took a class with my teacher Irma StarSpirit you know that it's packed with surprises and new discoveries. If you are thinking of taking apprenticeship program, multiply that by 100. Be ready to get liquefied, crystallize, be taking apart piece by piece and get back as a new improved version of yourself. If asked to name one thing I learned in this program it will be to trust myself. Besides learning to heal other people you will learn to heal yourself. She will teach you to forgive, to let go, to respect other ways of healing. You will find out that nobody can heal like you, everyone of us have our own special medicine and the world needs it. A great bonus is to have a group of fellow students, that are going through the same experience. Apprenticeship environment is about cooperation, not competition. When we compare our results we are looking at the same thing from different angle and learning to appreciate all spectrum of experiences. Every class is like an adventure, intense but captivating. Never doubt your ability. There is only one way to fail these classes by not taking them and not finding your gifts!”
A. K.
“I found myself recovering a part of my heart, rediscovering a part of my soul in each class of the Apprenticeship Program. Irma StarSpirit Woman is a teacher walking the path of love. A very remarkable healer, possessor of the blessing combination of love, knowledge, wisdom, patience and experience. She would use her gifts to help you develop yours, always honoring your own pace. She will guide you step by step, and will listen with an open heart. There is a unique quality of love and sacredness that could be felt it in her presence. She provided the class a safe environment for growing and expansion. As a student, it felt very safe to explore, to laugh, to cry, to release and to learn with her. I loved the hands on practice and feedback you can get from your classmates & practice partners. Be ready to meet people with different backgrounds and traditions. The teacher, the meeting of like minded people, the hands on practice, the honest feedback, the love, the energy, the spirits, the homework, the professionalism, the respect for all living beings and the willingness to serve others are some of the attributes that make The Apprenticeship Program an excellent journey to embark upon!”
~F. A.~2013
“I thank God for putting Irma in our path, through her I have grown into a Non-Fearing Spiritual Woman. Irma is a medicine-woman that is Inspiring, Gifted and something Magical always presents itself in her classes. My life has changed so much for the better!!!
Irma is full of Light and Knowledge and No words can express how I truly feel but I Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
~M.S.~ 2013
"Thank you Irma, I have so much gratitude for the teachings you have shared with me. I had been looking for a new mentor to show me the ways, to help me delve deeper and connect with the healing medicine I have been called to. I have known Irma for many years, and it was fate that brought us together now. I thank your guides and teachers who directed you to make this offering, to share your knowledge with new healers seeking to be of service. I did not know how or when I would fully commit to this path, and when I saw the information about the apprenticeship you were offering, I knew: Now is the time and this is the way.
In these months that you have been teaching us, I have learned so much. The tools you have taught me will help me to help others seeking healing, balancing, guidance... Everything she outlined in the coursework, I have understood as you taught it. She covered a lot of ground in discussion and then by example and finally by having us practice in class. She has a clear and laser sharp mind, and stays on point so that all the material is introduced and learned well enough for us to be able to incorporate into our box of healing tools.

MEDICINEWAY SHAMANIC APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM:
"Irma is an amazing teacher and friend, most loving person with a big heart! She will make you feel so special, comfortable and supported at the class. Absolutely must take this course if you are interested in exploring inner worlds and honor Toltec, Maya & Indigenous traditions, being in service of the healing for all." ~D.D.~2018
“I can write a book from my experience of being a part of Irma’s apprenticeship. Not only did this experience empower me but it offered me the tools to see, embrace, appreciate, and honor my family lineage and my blessing of being able to help and heal others. While learning how to heal and help others you are also shown how to use your own tools to help and heal yourself. I like to say “teachings that you will carry with you always and for a life time and generations”; its life changing, amazing, and illuminating. You meet amazing heartfelt compassionate people who with their own light and energy add their own spark to the group. It is definitely an all around investment that will have endless return for generations.”

"Irma is like a giant tree, deeply rooted with many nurturing branches- she illuminates and edifies with her knowledge and being, and reminds me to courageously re-awaken to the way, and to walk the path with gentle strength and an open heart. In each class a veil of mystery is lifted for me, and if I were to master just one lesson, I could happily facilitate in healing and transforming many lives. The scope of material that she teaches electrifies me and her hands on methods allows for exploration of one’s gifts, as we are all unique. There’s a wonderful sense of comradery amongst myself and fellow classmates as we’re all journeying together into the unknown. Irma teaches traditional and varied methods that I truly believe are beneficial to all healers, regardless of beliefs. Her abundant radiant spirit, breadth of knowledge and open heart is rare to encounter, and I know that I am showered upon by the Light of Creation to have her as my teacher, guide and friend. "

“My ancestors guided me to work with Irma StarSpirit. My “gifts” have increased immensely since I began my very first class with her. The lessons have been incredible; fun and filled with so much knowledge. I have gained so much and am, eternally, grateful to Irma for sharing her wisdom with us.” ~ M.H.~2015
"Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise and allowing us to explore the techniques of shamanic healing as we strengthen our intuition and inner voice. We practice in a supporting atmosphere as we learn to trust ourselves and become empowered so we can use our skills to heal others as well as ourselves. "

“If you already took a class with my teacher Irma StarSpirit you know that it's packed with surprises and new discoveries. If you are thinking of taking apprenticeship program, multiply that by 100. Be ready to get liquefied, crystallize, be taking apart piece by piece and get back as a new improved version of yourself. If asked to name one thing I learned in this program it will be to trust myself. Besides learning to heal other people you will learn to heal yourself. She will teach you to forgive, to let go, to respect other ways of healing. You will find out that nobody can heal like you, everyone of us have our own special medicine and the world needs it. A great bonus is to have a group of fellow students, that are going through the same experience. Apprenticeship environment is about cooperation, not competition. When we compare our results we are looking at the same thing from different angle and learning to appreciate all spectrum of experiences. Every class is like an adventure, intense but captivating. Never doubt your ability. There is only one way to fail these classes by not taking them and not finding your gifts!”

“I found myself recovering a part of my heart, rediscovering a part of my soul in each class of the Apprenticeship Program. Irma StarSpirit Woman is a teacher walking the path of love. A very remarkable healer, possessor of the blessing combination of love, knowledge, wisdom, patience and experience. She would use her gifts to help you develop yours, always honoring your own pace. She will guide you step by step, and will listen with an open heart. There is a unique quality of love and sacredness that could be felt it in her presence. She provided the class a safe environment for growing and expansion. As a student, it felt very safe to explore, to laugh, to cry, to release and to learn with her. I loved the hands on practice and feedback you can get from your classmates & practice partners. Be ready to meet people with different backgrounds and traditions. The teacher, the meeting of like minded people, the hands on practice, the honest feedback, the love, the energy, the spirits, the homework, the professionalism, the respect for all living beings and the willingness to serve others are some of the attributes that make The Apprenticeship Program an excellent journey to embark upon!”

"Thank you Irma, I have so much gratitude for the teachings you have shared with me. I had been looking for a new mentor to show me the ways, to help me delve deeper and connect with the healing medicine I have been called to. I have known Irma for many years, and it was fate that brought us together now. I thank your guides and teachers who directed you to make this offering, to share your knowledge with new healers seeking to be of service. I did not know how or when I would fully commit to this path, and when I saw the information about the apprenticeship you were offering, I knew: Now is the time and this is the way.
In these months that you have been teaching us, I have learned so much. The tools you have taught me will help me to help others seeking healing, balancing, guidance... Everything she outlined in the coursework, I have understood as you taught it. She covered a lot of ground in discussion and then by example and finally by having us practice in class. She has a clear and laser sharp mind, and stays on point so that all the material is introduced and learned well enough for us to be able to incorporate into our box of healing tools.
