Traditional South African Healing
A Sangoma is one type of traditional South African healer who holds an esteemed and influential position in society as a counsellor, herbalist, physician, spiritual advisor, mediator and ancestral helper.
The well-being of an individual, their interrelationships and community should be the focus of any properly trained Sangoma--who works to restore and maintain health and healing on every level. This, of course, requires a multifaceted approach, whereby ancestors are the pinnacle of these practices. I collaborate with in-order ancestors and spirit helpers--yours and mine--in this process.
I am a legitimately trained and experienced Sangoma, oracle, healer and counsellor and have been practicing for over 25 years in Botswana, South Africa and Canada. I am passionate, committed, dedicated and respectful of this work and live by the principle, heal and do no harm.
Our sessions will leave you with a practical way forward, as well as with clarity and a feeling of connection, empowerment, useful support and guidance. I will not waste your time or resources.
Oracle Readings
Initial Consultation
The first consultation involves either, throwing the bones or in-order ancestors and spirit kin speak directly with or through Rebecca to offer clarity and support . There may also be a large or small counselling component to the session. How the knowledge and support are offered is dictated by the ancestors --yours and mine. Sessions occur either in person or via Zoom.
This process allows for a full assessment of you and a "worldview" of your life. I need only your surname and prefer not to have any prior knowledge about you or why you are coming to see me.
Please ensure that if doing a remote session, you are in a quiet and undisturbed space without other people and distractions, otherwise, it will affect the clarity and outcome of the reading.
In our sessions, detailed and comprehensive messages, insights, suggestions and guidance are conveyed as well as clear next steps. Communication occurs in a manner that will speak to your heart, beliefs, issues and concerns in your language, so to speak.
A good reading should make sense to you, as well as validate senses, feelings, inklings or even suspicions you may have had. Remember, because the reading may address immediate or much longer-term matters; the content of the reading unfolds in its own way over time.
The Sangoma is the conduit, therefore, the ancestors and spirit-helpers will convey what is needed for a person at the time. Sometimes difficult things can be conveyed. If you need additional support, please book a follow-up session.
Oracle Readings
There are numerous ways a healer speaks with spirit. The predominant method among Zangoma is throwing the bones. They are an assortment of bones and sacred objects obtained during the apprenticeship process and sometimes beyond.
During an in-person oracle session or, 'throwing the bones', the patient blows on the sacred items to imprint their life-breath/life-print, and that of their ancestors. In consultation with the ancestors, they are then"read”.
An in-depth, accurate and comprehensive reading follows and details of your life are revealed. No stone is left unturned.
The bones provide clarity on all issues, concerns, wants and needs, often in the order of pertinence. There is an opportunity to ask questions and receive spirit-informed answers at the end of the session.
Throwing the bones is a transformative experience that can reveal past, current and future insights, including potential challenges and future blessings.
Amathambo goes much deeper than most divination tools and is a unique method that is part of Southern African Indigenous Knowledge Systems which have existed since time immemorial.
The healer utilises their unique gifting and ancestral and spirit-informed connections to convey knowledge and guidance.

Treatment, Care and Support
Treatment methods vary widely according to your needs and ancestral directives. The most widely practiced is the use of herbalism, ritual and ceremony.
As plants are understood to have sacred powers, ingestion, bathing, topical application, infusions, inhalants, snuff, washing mixtures, poultices and emetics are some techniques used.
Problems ranging from discord in the home to major medical illnesses are treated. A strong emphasis is placed on a person's whole being. Psycho-social, emotional and spiritual integration is part of care. Ongoing counselling and/or ritual and ceremony may also be involved.
Because one size doesn't fit all, I incorporate your specific ancestral and socio-cultural requirements in prevention, care and support recommendations and am responsive to your needs.
Following through with these suggestions is key to achieving balance.
