Power Animals
Power animals are spiritual allies who walk with us from the unseen realms, offering guidance, protection, and energetic support. Each carries a unique medicine—gifts that help us navigate life with greater strength, clarity, and connection.
Power Animals
Sacred Allies in the Spirit World
Power animals are spiritual allies that bring medicine, protection, guidance, and strength. They are not pets in the ordinary sense—but wild beings from the unseen realms who walk with us, watch over us, and offer support whether we’re aware of them or not.
Every creature, from the smallest insect to the mightiest land or sea animal, carries a unique frequency—what many call medicine. This medicine reflects a spiritual gift, a teaching, or a power that the animal embodies and offers to those it walks with.
What Is a Power Animal?
A power animal is a spiritual guardian—a helping spirit that takes the form of an animal, bird, insect, or sea creature. Unlike domesticated animals, which are part of our physical lives, power animals belong to the spirit world. They come into our lives to protect us, guide us, and often to restore lost power or energy after trauma or disconnection.
Some people describe a power animal as a kind of spiritual pet, especially for children, who tend to connect with them easily and naturally. These spiritual companions are deeply loyal. Once they’ve made themselves known, they often begin to appear in ordinary reality—on clothing, in dreams, on walks, or even in unexpected conversations or signs.
The Medicine They Carry
Every power animal brings its own medicine, or spiritual teaching. An example:
• Horse medicine carries us forward and helps us move into spiritual life with grace and power.
• Elephant medicine teaches strength and the ability to overcome great obstacles—just as Ganesh, the elephant-headed deity in India, is honored as the remover of obstacles.
• Bald Eagle medicine is honored in the United States for its symbolism of freedom, vision, and spiritual perspective.
• Snake, butterfly, bear, dolphin, spider—every animal has its own unique offering.
Whether your power animal flies, swims, crawls, or walks, they are with you for a reason. They bring gifts you may not fully understand at first—but over time, their presence becomes unmistakable.
How They Work with Us
Power animals offer:
• Protection in both spiritual and emotional realms
• Energetic strength when we are depleted
• Warnings or messages in dreams or synchronicities
• Guidance through difficult transitions
• Connection to our instincts and ancient memory
Often, they show up long before we consciously meet them. Once the connection is made, they tend to remain fiercely loyal appearing again and again to guide and support us in both subtle and powerful ways.
A Note of Respect
Your power animal is sacred. It is wise to keep their identity private—especially in the early stages of your relationship. The connection deepens through time, attention, and gratitude. Wait until you feel a strong, mutual bond before sharing who your spirit ally is with others.
This is not about secrecy. It’s about protection, respect, and spiritual integrity.

“When I first contacted Maia, I felt apprehension at what would be my first soul retrieval. However, any tension was immediately assuaged after our hour-long conversation.
Maia touched on topics and aspects of my life despite our having never met. I had heart-based goosebumps throughout the first conversation- little did I know that was just the beginning! Maia was incredibly professional, prompt, and made herself very available during the process.
Her experience as a long-time shamanic practitioner was further buoyed by her incredible experiential knowing in spiritual matters and eastern mysticism. Most importantly, Maia made me feel comfortable, acknowledged and seen from the get-go, and she has helped me regain a sense of a quiet inner power.
I highly recommend working with Maia!”
“Since December I have had what seemed like insurmountable pain due to the ending of a substantial 18-month relationship and the slow, but steady decline of my mother.
I was beside myself with grief and believed I would never see past the pain of my losses. I underestimated the power of the love and guidance that Maia is able to offer. Not only did she guide me with tools of meditation, but she directed me to resources I was heretofore unaware of.
More importantly, she kept me feeling whole. She never allowed me to feel regret nor did she allow me to believe that I couldn’t overcome the pain. She reassured me and made herself available to me in my weakest moments.
In my strongest moments, she cheered me on and encouraged me to once again believe in who I am.
If you value unconditional love, spiritual guidance and a down to earth approach to life, Maia will be a wonderful choice for you. May God bless you!”
“The Universe guided me to Maia when I had felt like I had just spiritually broken into pieces, scattered and without direction. There was so much stress and pain that I had endured over the years that it felt like there was no hope and no doctor would be able to help heal me.
Maia was so kind and gentle and guided me through the entire process with professionalism and true genuine care for my well-being. It was such an emotional experience for me, and I was glad that I had found someone so sensitive and in tune with just what type of healing I needed.
I highly recommend spending some time with her if you are lost or feel spiritually hurt or missing like I was. Maia, you have a special place in my heart, always. Love & Light.”
“Maia, you are truly a beautiful spirit and a true healer.
I would someday love to partake of what you teach. If only I could, from here in San Diego.With Pure Love and COMPLETE Gratitude!”
“I think I knew enough to ask about soul retrieval and Maia agreed it would be a good idea for where I was at in my journey. Maia is an outstanding, multi-talented shamanic practitioner. She works with genuine care, love, and is a great human as well! Her retrieval was a game changer.”
“I contacted Maia because I wanted to get in touch with my power animal and to do a soul retrieval. She far exceeded my expectations and was even kind enough to help out my 3-month-old daughter who’s doing significantly better since Maia helped her regain her trust from her traumatic birth. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“After the soul retrieval I stopped bouncing back and forth between feeling okay and feeling depressed and things began moving quickly – personally, professionally and spiritually.
I remember that day afterward feeling incredibly rested and peaceful, which I couldn’t remember the last time I felt so good. Even the things you had said after journeying made so much sense and some of which I had never told anyone before. And I felt tremendous relief from the guilt I had pushed back way into the corner of my mind.
Thank you so much, and thank you for the friendship.”
“Maia is an awesome being/ reader/healer and I’m so blessed to have chosen and worked with her. She is a bright light on this planet. I could go on and on about her talents but when you talk with her you can make your own decision.
I also attended Maia’s telepathy class. She taught us the basics of telepathy and how we could develop our natural skills in using it. We did some actual “readings” of each other and had 1st hand experience of telepathy. As time permits I’ll do more and advanced work with her and the other students.”
“It’s hard to believe it’s only been seven months since your healing because my life has changed completely. The energy you brought back for me gave me the strength to really march down a path to healing, and remember myself. I started studying shamanism to help me be engaged in my healing process. I am on the last leg of doing a chakra healing course. Through this work, I’ve been able to remember, grieve and release the abuse done to me by my father.”
“We have been giving thanks for you and the miracles you worked in our lives. B. says he finally feels whole. L. has a high energy level and positive vibration. I feel balanced. It was an amazing experience. We really appreciate your hard work; and your thoughtfulness in bringing us together with your friends as well. It was truly an evening we will reflect upon for the rest of our lives. With love and gratitude.”
