About Mikki

Mikki Baloy has been practicing shamanic healing for over a decade. 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 (it turns out, her degree in Theater was actually a study in ritual spaces and storytelling).  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.  She is the author of Hallowed Underground: Sacred Hope and Healing in Dark Times, which describes her recovery from PTSD, depression, divorce, and sexual assault, and she has been featured in two books about post-disaster resiliency. In 2022, she released her second book, Conversations with Mother Mary: Loving Wisdom from Her Life to Yours and is already working on the sequel.

She is a practitioner 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. Her ancestors hail from Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany, Hungary, and the Philippine Island of Luzon.
