Whole Hearted Soul Retrieval
About the work

What is soul retrieval?

Reclaim your wholeness, vitality, and authentic self.

Have you ever felt that something essential is missing from your life? Perhaps you're moving through the motions, doing all the things you're supposed to do, yet something inside feels distant, quiet, or asleep.

Maybe you remember a time when you felt more alive. When joy came naturally, your intuition was strong, and you felt deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.

Somewhere along the way, that connection may have faded.

In shamanic traditions, it is believed that when we experience trauma, loss, heartbreak, or overwhelming life events, parts of our soul may withdraw as a way of protecting us. This is sometimes called soul loss.

Soul retrieval is a sacred practice of inviting these lost or hidden parts of ourselves to return.

Soul loss doesn't always follow a dramatic event. Sometimes it happens gradually, through years of putting others first, suppressing our true feelings, or living a life that doesn't fully reflect who we are.

You may feel it as:

A sense of emptiness or disconnection, even when life looks good on the outside.

A longing for something you can't quite name.

Feeling stuck in old patterns or repeating the same struggles.

A loss of creativity, passion, playfulness, or joy.

Difficulty knowing what you truly want or trusting your inner voice.

A feeling that you're living only a small part of the life you came here to live.

These experiences can have many causes, but within the spiritual framework of soul retrieval, they may be invitations to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been forgotten, hidden, or left behind.

Meet your guide

Spirit is ready to assist.

Crystal Poppy is trained in Peruvian Shamanism by Nikki with the White Hawk Medicine lineage but she also draws on her unbroken Celtic ancestors, plant spirit medicine and energy weaving to facilitate a clear connection with spirit to assist in Soul Retrievals.

Crystal Poppy’s gifts first revealed themselves with prophetic dreams that began as a teenager. She has also always been gifted in finding lost items. Her connection with Plant Spirit Medicine emerged when she was pregnant with her first child. When she became familiar with soul retrievals she realized it was the perfect way to use of her spiritual gifts for healing purposes.

Your Life is Waiting for You

Imagine waking up with a deeper sense of belonging in your own life.

Feeling the spark of inspiration return. Finding yourself laughing more freely, loving more openly, speaking your truth, and following the quiet wisdom of your heart.

Imagine no longer having to work so hard to be who you think you should be, because you're becoming more comfortable simply being who you are.

Soul retrieval is an invitation to this kind of homecoming.

As you welcome these parts of yourself back, you may discover qualities you thought you'd lost: courage, innocence, creativity, confidence, tenderness, passion, or a deep capacity for joy.

Life may begin to feel richer, more colorful, and more meaningful. Choices that once seemed confusing may become clearer. You may find yourself drawn toward relationships, experiences, and ways of living that feel more deeply aligned with your true nature.

Not because you've become someone new, but because you're remembering more of who you've always been.
