About

My name is Holly Million, and I am a professional shaman, artist, herbal medicine maker, and micro-homesteader. My personal mission is to share my journey and my joy to inspire people to create lives of Beauty, Order, and Love. I work with people who are freeing themselves and bringing their gifts forward for the healing of our world.

Eight years ago, I realized the best word to describe me must be “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 on their soul development journey.

In my shamanic work, I meet you where you are at. I embrace the totality of who you are and start with an understanding that you are fundamentally good, sound, and whole.

I help clients overcome blockages, difficult emotional energies, recurring nightmares, chronic pain, 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. My process is shamanic and not psychotherapy. For more details about my specific services and offerings, please visit the Services page.

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. For my herbal and shamanic products, visit the Store page.

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 one dozen apprentices, from 16 to 83 years old, come through the program since its founding. See the Shamanic Arts Institute page for more details.

I am now enrolled in Pacifica Graduate Institute’s PhD program in Depth Psychology with an emphasis on Jungian Psychology and Archetypal Studies. I am thrilled to deepen my knowledge and wisdom in support of my shamanic work.
