Michael 'Heartsong' Cutter
I am a shamanic healer and guide based in Denver, CO. I utilize traditional and contemporary perspectives on healing and life purpose to assist people in navigating life challenges. ​​
In 2010 in a near death experience I had a vision of my life purpose. I was shown my purpose and given a vision of the next three years until I would begin meeting shamans that would teach me. I was in extremely poor health, hospitalized in ICU for a few weeks with a severe case of Chron's disease. I had lived homeless for a time and life was plagued with what at the time seemed like unsolvable problems. I didn't necessarily want to die, but I had no reason to live.
The calling ivision flooded my body, mind and spirit with life giving energy and illuminated my path forward with a sense of of purpose. It gave meaning to the suffering. Following the vision was very challenging and I was tested in many ways. I was told on several occasions by doctors that I would not heal, or would die if I did not follow their directions. It took alot of courage but as I stepped away from those limiting stories and put my faith in my inner guidance the healing began. Looking back, it was an initiation into the world of spirit, to test me and deepen my faith.
In the fall of 2012 just before the winter solstice the first of the Shamans came into my life. Since then my dreams and visions along with the spirit animals, birds, natures messengers and human angels have assisted in manifesting the vision. Over a decade later my life has transformed in many ways.
My Approach
My approach to working with clients is to utilize the methods passed down to me by my teachers and open myself to being a channel - the cosmic delivery boy of the messages and healing. My approach is direct and compassionate with clear communication, lightness, strength and humor – no fluff and no BS.
