Kymber Phillips

Shamanic Healer & Soul Guide

​

Kymber has deeply integrated the principles of shamanism and mysticism into every facet of her life, allowing these ancient ways of knowing to shape her path and presence in the world. As a guide and ceremonial facilitator, she holds space for sacred experiences with reverence and intuition—leading rituals such as fire ceremonies and rites of passage,. Her work is rooted in a profound respect for the unseen, the elemental, and the transformative power of intention.

Drawn to the rhythms of the natural world, Kymber thrives in quiet places where the stillness speaks and the silence teaches. Her practice is a devotion to presence—one that includes deep listening, ritual, and communion with the Earth. Whether in solitude or in circle, she brings a grounded, heart-centered energy that invites others to reconnect with their own inner knowing and ancestral wisdom. Kymber lives as a bridge between worlds, embodying the sacred in the everyday.
