In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast, host Nicky Yazbeck welcomes Shantel Ochoa, a Shamanic Reiki Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher, Ceremonialist, and intuitive Oracle and Tarot Reader, for a deeply transformative conversation on archetypes, shadow work, and spiritual healing. Shantel bridges ancient shamanic wisdom with modern energy medicine, helping others awaken to their soul’s purpose and embody a greater sense of inner peace, empowerment, and divine alignment.
Together, Nicky and Shantel explore the four core archetypes that shape every human experience, the Victim, Saboteur, Prostitute, and Child, and how understanding these energetic patterns can reveal hidden aspects of the subconscious mind. Through the lens of shamanic healing, Reiki energy work, and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), they discuss how to transmute limiting beliefs, reclaim personal power, and cultivate emotional and energetic balance.
This episode invites listeners into a journey of self-awareness, shadow integration, and soul evolution. Shantel shares how archetypes act as mirrors for growth and transformation, guiding us to release old stories and reconnect to our higher consciousness. Blending insights from archetypal psychology, soul contracts, and energy centers (chakras), she illuminates the sacred relationship between trauma healing, intuition, and spiritual awakening.
If you’re drawn to energy healing, Reiki, spiritual self-discovery, or understanding the deeper forces that influence your relationships and personal journey, this episode offers wisdom to help you alchemize pain into purpose and walk your path with clarity, compassion, and courage.
