About Mikki

Mikki Baloy has been practicing shamanic healing since 2009. She has studied with shamans, ritual-keepers, and mystics from around the world, as well as with other teachers and peers. Mikki offers private healing sessions, rites of passage and weddings, and retreat and workshop experiences for modern people called to grounded spiritual explorations. 

Mikki’s holistic approach to healing fuses a mix of ancestral traditions with yoga, Buddhism, and almost four decades of creative training as a performer, writer, and musician.  She was the Director of a 9/11 foundation in New York City, helping to create and maintain programs to assist many thousands of people—while undertaking her own healing journey from PTSD.  She has been featured in two books about post-disaster resiliency. 

In 2022, she released the book Conversations with Mother Mary: Loving Wisdom from Her Life to Yours and is working on the sequel, called Pilgrimage. She is also contributing to an international anthology (anticipated publication 2026). Other writings can be found on Patreon and Medium and in the self-study course, Shamanism 101, which is available on-demand. 

She is a practitioner and mentor of Ancestral Lineage Healing as developed by Daniel Foor of Ancestral Medicine. Other trainings have included EFT, Reiki, Animist Psychology, vinyasa yoga certification, and Mental Health First Aid. Mikki is also minister of animism and wedding officiant. She has presented at ConVocation, Creative Problem Solving Institute, and other conferences.
