The Quechua people, the aboriginal people of Peru, have a word Shungo, which roughly translates to "the heart and belly." It relates to your physical center as well as the center of your being. Shungo is also a greeting, said to mean,
"From my heart or center to yours."
It is from this place, the heart and center of our being, that the most profound healing can take place. By tuning into your body and intuitive heart, you are led to an awareness of what medicine is needed to ease or release the subtle patterns of constriction and the blocks in your systems—mental, physical, and spiritual. This new awareness can awaken you to your inner truth, and lead you to new discoveries within the Self and your life. You are left with the potential to discover the whole of who you are, your Truth and your Medicine, and find the way back to your center—the heart of your being.
The journey through
healing
body, mind & soul
Hello
My name is Moira Scullion
Body & Soul Work Practitioner
For more than 27 years, I’ve been listening to the quiet languages that live beneath the surface - the pulse of the body, the breath of the spirit, the stories held in the bones, and the wisdom that rises from the unseen. My work weaves together bodywork, abdominal healing, energy and shamanic practices, and spiritual guidance, all in service to one truth: every layer of a person carries medicine.
When I sit with someone, I follow the energy - the subtle pathways where body, soul, and spirit cross. This is the place where old patterns loosen, where power returns, where the self remembers itself. My role is simply to tend that threshold, to hold the field steady, and to help the deeper truth within you rise to the surface.

”Within my body are all the sacred places of the world,
and the most profound pilgrimage I can ever make is within my own body.”
- attributed to Saraha, eight-centruy Indian yogi
“Everything you judge about yourself served a purpose at the time.”
Dr. Gabor Maté, in the film The Wisdom of Trauma (produced by maurizio and Zaya Benazzo, 2021)
“We know things in the core of our being that we have not necessarily been taught,
and some of this deep knowing may actually be at odds with what our society or religion has tried to teach us.”

About the work
A healing journey through body, mind, and soul.
It was through working with the belly, specifically, that I came to understand the body as more than bones and muscles. In my shamanic studies I learned early that in Peru, the indigenous Quechua people have a word, shungo, which roughly translates to "one's center, the heart and belly of your being." I've found this word's meaning central to my work with the belly and with the spirits, of my clients.
Abdominally centered work helped me understand the profound connection between the body and its state of well-being: all the energy, emotions, and beliefs the belly carries and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. I see, every day, that our history, lineage, experiences, and memories live inside our bodies as personalized stories. Those stories express themselves across our systems: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. When the story is positive, it expresses as balance, joy, flow, abundance, vitality, health, contentment, and even good luck. When the story is about something difficult or unprocessed, it tends to lodge in the body as contraction, expressing itself as fear, withdrawal, self-limitation, discomfort, pain, and even disease.
These inner stories don't stay inside us; we see them mirrored in our experiences in the world. We may keep running into the same kind of challenging situation, the one that always seems to trigger us. But the trigger itself is the arrow pointing to the what and where inside us that needs healing and tending. Experiences that trigger us become opportunities to look at our patterns (the events or circumstances that shaped us) and to find the places within us that are ready to unweave themselves under tender care. A trigger can be the soul and body's call for attention: the wounded place telling us it's ready to receive healing.
This healing work is the work I love: holding a space of tender care and active collaboration, where you and I, our spirit allies, and the Divine step into a revelatory space of work and play. I have a profound love for this field of collaborative healing, where the web of imprinted history is unwoven so the hurt and pain of old stories and wounds can be released, so you can weave a new story, and come back to loving your own being more deeply.
This is where the story shifts: from you as the wounded soldier or victim to you as the empowered heroine or hero, free to write a new story and to choose who you want to be within it.
In the ultimate depth of being,
we find ourselves no longer separate
but, rather, part of the unity of the universe.
That unity includes the sufferer and the suffering,
and the healer and that which heals.
Therefore, all acts of healing are ultimately
our selves healing our Self.
-Ram Dass
Offerings
Healing work is a journey, not a destination or a task on a checklist. There is no "one-stop shop." Healing is a daily process of awareness and self-care, and we all need support along the way; it isn't meant to be done alone. Healing work also happens in layers and phases. While you can do some of it by yourself, the most effective healing is relational: it is meant to be witnessed, with the love and support of others. When our wounds are relational, the healing must be relational too.
It is the process of being witnessed, of being held by another in sacred space, that helps us go into the deeper places within ourselves and our wounds, to bring them into the light and share them with others, held with compassionate hearts. This is just as healing as any other part of the work. I love being able to hold this sacred space for others, as it has been held for me.
