"It is rare, in any field, to encounter a practitioner who embodies both the depth of genuine calling and the discipline of decades of devoted practice. Birgit is such a person.

Over the years I have known her, I have witnessed in Birgit a quality that cannot be taught - an unwavering sincerity in her relationship with the spirit world, and an equal tenderness in her relationship with those she serves. She brings to her work a wisdom that is hard-won and multi-layered, rooted in years of meditation and contemplative study across traditions, woven together seamlessly in her shamanic practice.

As a practitioner, Birgit demonstrates the clarity of discernment, the courage that genuine healing work demands, and the humility that marks the truly gifted. She works with integrity, with care, and with a grace that puts even the most hesitant seeker at ease. She is, in every sense, a bridge - between the unseen and the seen, between ancient wisdom and the needs of people living today.

As a human being, she is the embodiment of the qualities she facilitates in others: openness, warmth, and a luminous dedication to service. I recommend her without reservation, and I am honored to know her on this path."

"There are very few souls on this planet who can truly hold a sacred space for deep inner transformation while channeling profound divine guidance with such authenticity, wisdom, and love. Birgit and Lenny from SHS are among those rare beings.

Their presence creates an atmosphere where you feel deeply seen, supported, and gently guided back to your own inner truth. Every experience with them is infused with integrity, compassion, and a genuine connection to the divine. If you are ready to open your heart, expand your consciousness, and step into a deeper level of your spiritual journey, I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing their work. It is a true gift."

"Birgit has guided me through some of the biggest transformations in my life and helped me trust in my own power. Since working with her, my life has changed for the better because she supported me in living my truth. I’m deeply grateful."

~ Sarah L.

"It is said that a true healer never calls herself a “shaman.” That title can only be given by others who’ve witnessed her work and experienced its power. It’s never given lightly. It signifies someone who has become a clear conduit for healing because her presence itself is clear, her compassion genuine and her skills beautifully honed.

After decades of spiritual training of my own, I recognized the real thing when I first met Birgit Sperling Stearns:

She is a true shaman.

Birgit, I’ve learned, was initiated into a lineage that demands deep integrity and discipline of its healers. It shows. Her nurturing presence permeates the work she does for, and with, me. Her insight opens the mind and supports the integration process. And the healing energy she transmits continues long after a session or two.

For help with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual matters, and their numinous interweavings, Birgit is a wise, powerful partner."

"I experienced a shamanic session with Birgit for the first time in my life.

She held sacred space for me, allowing me to let go and feel wonderfully supported and protected.

She brought me so much from my journey to my inner self, and I am incredibly grateful for that.

Birgit is a truly amazing shaman.

She possesses a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.

I highly recommend her to anyone currently undergoing a transformation process."

"I had a Power Animal Retrieval session with Birgit, and it was truly transformative. From the moment the session began, she created a sacred space where I felt completely at peace and open to healing. Discovering my spirit animal through this work has given me a source of strength I now draw on for the everyday challenges of life. Birgit's intuition is remarkable — she seemed to understand exactly what I needed, often before I could put it into words myself.

The impact of working with her has been long-lasting, touching my overall sense of well-being in ways I didn't expect. Beyond being a highly experienced shaman, Birgit is simply a wonderful human being — warm, grounded, and generous with her gift.

I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking this kind of healing work."
