About John

John Moir, Practitioner

A Healing Path Rooted in Wisdom, Experience, and Compassion

Hi, I’m John Moir, and I cre­at­ed Soul­ful Ener­gy Med­i­cine.

Before I began this work, I was a para­medic. I spent years show­ing up in moments nobody plans for—loss, cri­sis, trau­ma, and the kind of days when every­thing changes with one phone call. That work taught me what real grief feels like in the body, and how much peo­ple need steadi­ness, kind­ness, and calm when they’re over­whelmed.

My work today is root­ed in urban shaman­ism. My core train­ing came through the Foun­da­tion for Shaman­ic Stud­ies. I’m also trained in transper­son­al hyp­nother­a­py and past-life regres­sion, which can be espe­cial­ly help­ful when strong feel­ings, mem­o­ries, or pow­er­ful inner expe­ri­ences begin to sur­face. Depend­ing on what you need, I may draw on a blend­ed approach—shamanic heal­ing, ener­gy work, transper­son­al hyp­nother­a­py, parts work, or past-life exploration—always based on what feels most help­ful for you.

I’ve been for­tu­nate to learn from teach­ers who have shaped how I hold this work. And hon­est­ly, the longer I do this, the more hum­ble I become. Peo­ple car­ry so much. They car­ry what has been done to them, what they have sur­vived, what they have lost, and what they have had to hold alone. Much of it does not show on the sur­face, but it lives in the body, the heart, and in the way a per­son lives. And when heal­ing happens—when some­thing begins to soft­en, release, or return to balance—it is hard not to feel deep respect for what some­one has been car­ry­ing all along. 🌿

Podcast Conversations Exploring Healing

Don’t Feed the Fear – with John Moir and Dr. Aman­da White­house explores how grief weaves through every­day life—including the qui­et trau­ma par­ents car­ry when a child has severe aller­gies, and the shame that can sur­face when things go wrong, reveal­ing these as forms of grief too.

As I Live and Grieve – with Kathy Glea­son and John Moir John and Patri­cia Jones of Wind Breath Soul, join Kathy for a warm, spir­i­tu­al­ly ground­ed con­ver­sa­tion about Fran­cis Weller’s Five Gates of Grief. We explored how the gates help name many kinds of loss—not only death, but lost dreams, ances­tral wounds, and the grief that often goes unrec­og­nized.
