About · One Shamanism

I'm Carolin.
I walk between the worlds
and I'll walk beside you.

Shamanic practitioner, Certified NLP Trainer (Society of NLP), and founder of One Shamanism. I work at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern psychology — what I call Grounded Magic: the structure of a master-level coach with the soul of a shamanic practitioner.

The Path That Found Me

My Story

The Child Who Saw

My shamanic visions began in childhood — vivid, natural, and confusing for a child growing up in a world that had no words for them. Like so many of us, I learned to push them away.

The Long Detour

I built a career in Berlin's tech and media world — an M.Sc. in Marketing Management, leadership roles as Head of Business Unit at Ströer Media Brands and Head of Marketing at Medlanes. Successful on paper — and quietly disconnected from the part of me that had once seen so clearly. Maybe you know this feeling: everything is "fine," and something essential is missing.

The Return

Life called me back — the way it does: unmistakably. I left the corporate path and gave myself fully to the one that had been waiting since childhood.

The Student of the World

I gave my learning years to the traditions themselves: 1:1 training with shamans in Siberia, a Mongolian shamanic lineage, a three-year apprenticeship with a spiritual teacher in North America, and extensive core shamanism training with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (Michael Harner) and Sandra Ingerman. Different languages, different ceremonies — and beneath them all, the same living heart of shamanism.

One Shamanism

I founded One Shamanism to bridge this ancient medicine for the modern world: an international school where anyone — regardless of background or belief — can learn the universal shamanic practices, gently and with respect for their roots.

My Promise to You

From the Heart. Never From a Pedestal.

Out of respect for the traditions, I don't call myself a shaman — that title is given by the spirits and the community, not claimed. I am a shamanic practitioner and your guide. My promise is simple: I will never stand above you. The healing power in this work comes from the spirits and from your own soul — my role is to hold the space, show you the way, and walk beside you until you can walk it yourself. You set the pace. You keep your power. Always.

What Makes My Teaching Different

Where Shamanism Meets the Subconscious Mind

As a Certified NLP Trainer of the Society of NLP — trained directly by Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-founder of NLP — and with advanced training in hypnosis, I understand the subconscious mind from the inside: how trance states work, how beliefs form and dissolve, how the deeper layers of the mind speak in images and symbols. This gives me a rare double perspective on shamanism. I can guide you into the journey state safely because I understand it both as a shamanic practitioner and psychologically. And I can help you turn what you experience there into real, lasting change in your everyday life — because insight without integration fades, and I've spent years mastering the tools of integration.

The Mind, Understood

NLP and hypnosis training mean I know how the subconscious opens, learns, and heals — so journeying with me is grounded, safe, and never mystified.

Two Maps, One Territory

The shamanic map and the psychological map describe the same deep landscape. I teach with both in hand — ancient practice, explained without dogma.

Change That Stays

Coaching mastery (Dr. Bock Academy, Inner Child & Ego State work) turns your journey insights into decisions, habits, and healing that hold in real life.
