Fire In the Lotus

If I could give less than a star I would. I met with Veronica for an initial interview then purchased three sessions for Shamanic Healing /​Soul Retrieval. I had one session, not at all what I had expected or read about — both on her website as well as a number of other sites about this process.
1) She guides you through a meditation, aside from the fact you’re sitting in an uncomfortable chair, with no sound but the clock ticking on the wall and the people talking outside of her bright office uncomfortable as can be and not in a meditative environment. Shamans state they are able to find your should parts while all you need to do is be open to receive, when my session was over I said to her I was incredibly disappointed as I could’ve u-​tubbed a guided meditation and saved myself the drive, I thought I was coming to a healer. Her response «I am not here to heal you, I am only here to guide you, the healing you do on your own». Hmmm ok, well that is not how she sells hells on her website, nor is that a shaman. The very definition of a shaman is a spiritual healer.
2) During the interview I asked her if she ever had a session that was unsuccessful, meaning that a soul part was not retrieved, she answered: «No, all of my clients have left every session with progress or lost should parts». I can tell you my session was a complete waste of time, uncomfortable and quite frankly laughable. I reminded her of that discussion post my session and she said, oh well — next time you come we can work on your heart chakra then in the third session we can attempt soul retrieval agin… Mmmm this was not at all what was discussed, and is working on my heart chakra another guided meditation? I think I’ll save myself the frustration and trip to the uncomfortable office.
2) There was no space clearing and her guided meditation was worst than guided meditations I have on CD. She expects you to be in a relaxed state in a matter of a few quick minutes, even though she is not even providing a relaxing or comfortable environment. The fact there is no space clearing pretty much blew my mind.
3) It was also off putting that during the interview I asked about her intuitive readings and she said she does not do those as people always expect a specific answer and are not happy with what she says. Funny, because ALL of the testimonials on her website are for this service, so something doesn’t add up here.
4) I also thought it was odd that she brought up purchasing sessions several times, as if one sessions isn’t enough but I had to do a few. True Shamans don’t push a membership to their services… She was very focused on the money.
Ultimately there were signs during the interview I ignored, and I got screwed.
I do believe in Shamanic Healing and Soul Retrieval, unfortunately I dropped nearly $ 300.00 on a hack. I’m not going back for the other 2 sessions I paid for, this was a joke. I have since done a lot of research on legitimate healers /​shamans and have engaged with another person, a true shaman. The minute we spoke on the phone, she sent me a number of articles on the process as well as a document that I should follow for preparation to our session, that document listed questions I should think through in regards to my desire for soul retrieval prior to our meeting (all made a lot of sense), a cleanse I can do on my own the day of (if I have the time, and Iif I don’t she starts the sessions with cleansing the space as well as my energy) and daily meditations to get ready and open for receiving back my soul parts (which she said she would find and integrate back into my being — as true Shamans do).
Given everything I know about healers in general and what I have read about Shamanic healing, I could probably fake being a healer better than this woman even attempted and that is beyond disappointing. She doesn’t even make an effort at creating a space that feels legit.
Save your hard earned cash folks. This person is far from the real thing. just trying to make a buck from people that are seeking spiritual assistance. Quite pathetic if you ask me.

On our first meeting, I felt an energy around Veronica that was different from anyone else I had met before. Little did I know how she would enrich, and literally change, my life. I had the benefit of a chakra balancing which included surprising channeled divine messages — all absolutely on the money. Mind blown. She asked me to let her know if I felt any differently after a time, which I most definitely did! This lead to my complete trust in her abilities and emphatic endorsement. I recommend her to any and all who are looking for effective healing services. Each time I have had a reading or Reiki healing, I’ve felt lighter and renewed, as if a heavy weight had been lifted away. Veronica’s gift is truly remarkable and she is a lovely woman, too. Contact her. Thank me later. ;-)

I first have to say, WOW! I am a bit of a skeptic, but I have been feeling rather stuck in life and depressed for months now. I have been rather uncomfortable confronting or acknowledging this, but recently confided this to a lady friend of mine. She is a bit of a ‘hippie’ and suggested I get a «soul retrieval»…whatever that is. Feeling rather desperate for help, I went for it and googled «soul retrieval los angeles.» I clicked on the first link, I understand why Veronica Tioicha of Fire In The Lotus comes up first.
After reading a little about her and the services she provides, I was intrigued and gave her a call. Her voice immediately put me at ease. I expressed to her both my curiosity, and skepticism. She was unfazed by this, and she explained to me what a soul retrieval was and how it was used to help. I connected with much of her explanation, and decided to schedule an appointment.
I met her at her office in Santa Ana. She was warm and friendly, and just had this really loving energy about her. We sat down and talked a bit, and then she explained the process of «soul retrieval.» She asked if I had any questions before we began, I didn’t, and the guided meditation began. This lasted about 40 minutes. I «came back» feeling… different, in a good way. I was already feeling more ‘positive’ about life than I had in longer than I could remember. We talked for a bit about my experience (which is rather personal and I would prefer to keep to myself) and after this, Veronica suggested I wait a couple of weeks before scheduling another session, and allow the work we had just done to settle in and take effect. I thanked her and left.
Just walking out of the office I already felt lighter. It’s been 3 weeks now, and honestly I can’t believe how much ‘better’ I feel. My outlook is just completely different. I feel normal again. I don’t just immediately default to pessimism and looking for how things are going to fail. I feel open to the very real possibility that things WILL work out in my favor. It’s actually quite wonderful. I don’t yet feel the need for another session, but I am looking forward to another one soon. THANK YOU VERONICA!!!
