Holly Million

My name is Holly Million, and I am a professional shaman, artist, herbal medicine maker, and micro-homesteader. My focus is power. I work with people who are freeing themselves and bringing their gifts forward for the healing of our world.  Every day, I work with my power, I work with my clients' power, and I work with natural power. I help people reclaim their personal power and reunite with their own inner guidance.

Eight years ago, I realized the best word to describe me was “shaman.” I serve as a guide, sacred mirror, and creator of sacred space to help people release what no longer serves and make room for things that align with their joy, success, and higher purpose. I am now the Shaman Artist. I love my job! I welcome new clients to work with me.

For most of my life, I was in a dark place. I had very low self-esteem and deep confusion about myself. I suffered so much trauma early on and frequently felt anxious, depressed, and sometimes suicidal. Early on, I made a commitment to discover why I felt this way. I was determined to overcome whatever prevented me from being free and having a joyous life. Through force of will, the soul’s unquenchable desire to heal, and the help of many healing modalities — psychotherapy, craniosacral therapy, shamanic healing, and more — I found myself. I came out of that darkness. My personal transformation has been profound. I now embrace my life with love, gratitude, and appreciation for all I have been through. I now choose to use everything I have experienced, overcome, and learned to help others engaged in their own personal self-transformation. 

In my shamanic work, I meet you wherever you are at. I embrace the totality of who you are. I help clients overcome blockages, difficult emotional energies, recurring nightmares, "stuckness," and self-doubt. I provide a safe, healing container to work within. You can count on me to be a grounded, calm, loving presence, reflecting to you all that you are with love and support. I work both remotely, by phone or Zoom, as well as in person at my studio in Oakland, CA.

I am also an herbal medicine maker and have been converting my property in Oakland, CA into a working micro-homestead and herbal farm — Holly Wholly Farm and Sanctuary — growing healing herbs for shamanic tools and herbal medicine. 

I am the founder of Shamanic Arts Institute (SAI), which provides classes, workshops, and a shamanic apprentice program leading to a certificate. I have had apprentices from 16 to 83 years old come through the program since its founding.
