Prices for my services and tools:
If you can afford my prices and fees, please do so, as that supports my ability to live in the Bay Area and serve to those that need my services.
If you absolutely can’t afford my fees please contact me, and we will work together to make it happen somehow (exchange, etc.).
Cancellation Policy:
A 24 hour cancellation notice by text or phone is required if you are unable to keep the appointment. Since I am small business owner and have a private practice in a very unique-privileged location if I do not receive 24 hour notice you will be expected to pay 100% of the cost for the missed appointment.
Please understand that when you forget, cancel, or change your appointment without giving enough notice, I won’t have the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and other clients miss the opportunity to receive my services.
It is mutually understood that if a cancellation is due to circumstances beyond any of my control, I will reschedule your existing appointment and not charges will apply.
Please notify me with at least 24 hours notice if you are currently feeling sick, or have been sick within the past 7 days (ie. Flu, cold etc.).
Shamanic Healing
As a practitioner of shamanic healing, I may provide you with the following kinds of spiritually-based services of core shamanism:
- Power Animal Retrieval: Power Animals are the “Guardian spirits” that are available to connect one to the incredible power of the universe to become themselves power-filled, or power-full, and stay that way as long as they remain connected to these representatives of the universe.
- Core Soul Retrieval: Recovering “vital souls” to heal. Every part of a person has its own soul, and that soul retrieval
could be done for any portion of the person that had been injured or traumatized.
- Shamanic Extraction Healing: See, sense, and remove localized illness and pain connected to spiritual factors.
- Shamanism, Dying, and Beyond: To deal with the issue of dying and the destiny of souls from a shamanic perspective.
To help others who are in terminal situations or who have already passed on. By using shamanic journeying, completing unfinished business, helping a person to cross over, and classic psychopomp work. To find Ethnocentric Spirits.
- Shamanic Divination: One of the classic tasks of the shaman is to journey into nonordinary reality in order to obtain answers to questions, either for others with their permission and/or for oneself.

Claudia Mar Ruiz, Shamanic Practitioner
Welcome to my practice!
Nature of my practice. As a practitioner of shamanic healing and/or divination. I am not a licensed physician, and my services are not medical treatments, nor are shamanic healing services licensed by the state. The idea behind shamanic healing is that it “is universally characterized by an intentional change in consciousness to engage in purposeful two-way interaction with spirits, moving from this reality to another. Shamans work within a holistic framework. They address the spiritual side of illness in a complementary relationship with the non-spiritual treatment of illness and injury.” Michael Harner, 2013.

Hand Analysis
"What Is Hand Analysis?" by Richard Unger
This is a very informational piece of Richard Unger's book (I bolded the text):
Hand analysis is the modern form of the ancient art of palmistry. Whereas palmistry is defined as foretelling the future from the lines of your palm, hand analysis seeks to further self- understanding through an examination of the entirety of your hands.
Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes. A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be.
Your hand analyst will examine the overall shape of your palm and fingers to determine your basic temperament, your thumb to see you how you "get things under your thumb," and the twelve zones of the fingers to see personality strengths and weaknesses. The lines in your palm will be examined to determine your basic wiring: the type of emotional system you have, what kind of computer you possess, which nervous system type you are, etc. Talents and hidden motivations will be revealed.
Both hand shape and lines change over time, but there is a part of your hands unaltered from five months prior to birth: your fingerprints. Like an acorn containing within it a picture of the oak tree it may become someday, your fingerprints reveal your Life Purpose.
By comparing the original imprint revealed in your fingerprints with the dynamic map of your personality and character shown in the lines and hand topography,a hand reading gives perspective to your current circumstances in relation to the big picture of your life story."
