About Tina D’Amore
Tina was a sensitive child at an early age
Tina was pre-verbal when she realized that she could communicate with animals, the wind, and the trees. Her first memory of being visited by the Fair Folk was around the age of three… and she will remember it until her last breath in this life.
As the years passed, she experienced visitations by many types of beings and found that she could also sense when a home was haunted. At the age of nine, Tina discovered that she held healing gifts when she comforted her stepbrother, who had a cough and fever. Tina instinctively put her hand on his back, and being too young to understand medical jargon, she remarked, “There's a lot of stuff in your lungs.” Her stepbrother was diagnosed with pneumonia just days later.
Tina’s Shamanic Sickness
After a decade of teaching K-3 multiage classrooms, the spirits decided that it was time for Tina to pay attention to her Calling. After several years of misdiagnoses, painful tests, and appointments with over 25 specialists in New England, she still had no answers. Some doctors either assumed she had a progressive form of multiple sclerosis, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, or even the fatal Huntington’s disease. Other doctors told her that there was nothing wrong at all and stated that her mind was “playing tricks” on her.
Tina began training in shamanism before the correct diagnosis was given. Through the guidance of several teachers over the years, she began to accept her “shamanic sickness” and the spirits who were chosing her to become. From her first training, she found practicing shamanism came to her as if it was an old memory.
It was two and a half years until Tina was finally diagnosed with tick-borne illnesses. By then, she had become incapacitated with intense pain, cognitive issues, dyspnea, severe migraines, chronic insomnia, lymph node swelling, tremors, chorea, ataxia, dyskinesia, transient seizures, as well as another rare neurological condition called acquired generalized dystonia. At the lowest point of the illness, Tina was at Nursing Home Level of Care and needed a wheelchair to mobilize. She was not yet 40 years old. At times, Tina could not feed, bathe, or clothe herself, and she lost the ability to coherently speak at times. She also experienced several Near-Death Experiences.
As Tina continued to integrate advanced shamanic techniques, the symptoms of her illness miraculously abated.

Testimonial
I accomplished more in two sessions with Tina than I did in several years of therapy. Tina has a kind and nurturing soul that creates a safe space for sharing experiences and emotions. I felt instantly comfortable with her. I am impressed with how she was able to take the big picture of my life circumstances and physical symptoms and create a plan that created real results for me. Pain levels have gone down from about an 8/10 to a 3/10. That's huge! I am so grateful for her help.

All I can say is that in the 6 weeks since my first session with Tina, I've turned a corner in my healing journey. There's a new momentum in my life that I feel is taking me powerfully in the right direction. I'm experiencing positive changes in my physical health, my mental health, my creativity, and my sense of peace and power within. I don't know how this works, but it has definitely done something significant for me.

Tina D’Amore creates a beautiful merge of physical healing through Shamanic practices to optimize holistic wellness. Through two sessions, Tina’s practices addressed my lower back and hip pain through ancestral healing, soul retrieval and deep connection. The sessions were deeply nourishing as I felt energy work through me in a relaxed state. I felt shifts immediately and between sessions. I now feel aligned physically and spiritually. Eight weeks since the first session, I’m almost pain-free and gaining new insight. I highly recommend her work to anyone open to holistic healing.

I highly recommend working with Tina to address the roots of physical pain and lingering effects of trauma. During our sessions, I felt supported by Tina and beings of unconditional love and afterwards I experienced a sense of calm and deep peace that had eluded me before. Tina provided such a powerful approach to heal from deep wounds that didn't require a lot of energy from me, just a willingness to be open to receive this type of healing. After working with her, I felt more calm and on purpose in my life, less physical pain and more hope for the future for myself, others and the world.

In order to become, you must let a part of you die.
“The illness that almost took me from this world also taught me who I am. I have come to understand that the spirit of an illness can serve as a catalyst to another life that is waiting for us on the other side.
From the ashes of the life I lived before, my helping spirits have given me the impetus to empower those who suffer from chronic illness and help them dis-identify from the spirit of their illness to manifest a new life from the teachings of such a tough-love teacher.”
