“In this day and age there is no guarantee that a person may meet someone like Liv even once in their lifetime. I consider it a great piece of luck/grace to have crossed paths with her and experienced her gift.”
-Cliff Taylor, Poet, Writer, Sundancer, and enrolled member of The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska
“I have never met anyone who truly listens to others with such powerful presence; such is Liv’s deep respect and love for life and spirits.
I am shy and rarely show my authentic-self, yet I have strong desire to be seen. Liv and the Kontomblé saw the part of me, hiding behind others all the time, in such compassionate way from the first time we met. My heart melted with love and awe by being seen as a spirit-self. It felt like I got back to my home where I am accepted. And I fell in love with Liv and the Kontomblé immediately.
The journey of finding my authentic-self is on going process for me. Each time I sit with Liv and the Kontomblé, it reveals like a flower is blooming and a tree is glowing. They pour pure water to our lights to glow.
It is such a healing to be with them.”
-Kyoko Kato
“From the first moment I met Liv, I felt her genuine desire to support me and help me grow into myself. Over the past three years, she has provided a unique expression of supportive presence in my life that has helped me access profound parts of my being, realize my true gifts, and heal from lifelong psychological wounds. Liv is a gifted teacher and healer, and her connection to Spirit will help you transform and grow in the ways that you need most.”
-Dr. Katherine Coder, PhD., Community & Transpersonal Psychologist
“Liv Wheeler has a gift that is humbling in its power, its oldness, its precision, and its results -she also happens to be a very beautiful-hearted and decent person (with a great sense of humor too!).
I'm an indian guy who's basically never left Nebraska and I was frankly surprised/stunned that the divination she did for me was as powerful and informational as any of my people's own ceremonies that I've attended. The spirits came and they came in abundance. There were ancestors, old ones, others and then there were her primary friends, her primary helpers: the Kontomblé. They were a hoot, poets, cut-ups, natural visionaries with a seemingly boundless depth of knowledge and sight. In our culture we have these little people too and they come to us like they come to Liv, in dreams, in ceremonies, in spirit to those gifted enough to communicate with them. It was an honor to receive the profound help that I did from the holy and kind of hilarious ones that Liv works with. Several months later I still find myself reflecting on the things they opened up for me, on their jokes, their knowledge, and their rich spiritual understandings.
In the old days the stuff Liv lives with, practices, and shares, was like an essential light and value that everyone had regular, meaningful contact with. This world is an expression of the invisible other world or spirit world. Truths, gifts, help, healings, dreams, understandings, solutions and aid of all kinds, guidance and love, streamed out into this mysterious life from that invisible world -and through people like Liv we learned, got help, were blessed, and had our spirituality renewed…
My thoughts and prayers are with Liv and the Kontomblé and the work they are doing together. The world is in rough shape and our best hope is a return, a reconnection to the spirituality and wisdom and love that both Liv and her relatives the Kontomblé embody.
Thank you Liv. Thank you Kontomblé. I look forward to speaking to you both again sometime in the not too distant future.”
-Cliff Taylor, Poet, Writer, Sundancer, and enrolled member of The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska
“My spirit is alive! It’s the power within that cures the world. I see this now. My ancestors thank you, Liv.”
-Jose
“I've done several personal sessions with Liv over the course of three years now. Both mentoring sessions and sessions with the Kontomblé. Literally every session contributed to my growth in very surprising ways.
The Kontomblé - oh, how I love them -, they just say it how it is. They are so truthful, like for real, full of truth. And they are so profound. I mean, the messages that come through in divinations are really deep and they go to the core. I was touched in the depths of my being by every session. There was a feeling of finally being seen for who I am and that made me cry because it made me feel as if I found home. Also, some things I heard in my very first divination, I discovered afterwards myself in my own life, in again - surprising ways.
And dear Liv, she is in a way the same like the Kontomblé, meaning she can see through you, see YOU. She sees passed the layers, beliefs and words you say. She sees the energy, which can be confronting because she just says what she sees (which can be something you are not totally aware of or don't want to see). But for me, that's the kind of mentoring I need, straightforward and honest. Because I am very good in talking and finding words for everything, so it's needed that someone catches me there, in those words, and brings me to my heart and my feelings. And Liv does that beautifully, with a lot of love, respect and care. Sometimes when I was talking in a session, Liv would see one of my ancestors coming through. I still cherish these moments.
What I truly love about Liv (& I know my ancestors do too) is that she has so much respect for who a person is, where people come from or who their ancestors and their ways are. She doesn't impose, she guides so that you become the best version of yourself! She sees the uniqueness of every person, she sees their medicine and she wants the person to connect with her/his medicine so that it can blossom. I find that so beautiful. I value that. I am super grateful.”
-Hannah Boakye
“My connection to Liv feels blessed with magic and deep gratitude, a reconnection made through the other realms of which she is in such respectful communion with. She has bravely and open heartedly given herself to reopening the channels of connection and through this is a powerful example to us of the possibility of remembering and healing the wounds of our broken pasts and presents. My first divination with her was mind blowing! She held the space with such integrity and skill and though we were at a physical distance I experienced us to be sharing the space as though next to one another. I was moved by how much laughter and hilarity entered the space and how freely Liv communicated all that was arising. She speaks from a place of truth and compassion and through this incredible wisdom and guidance flows.
Truly deep medicine.”
-Mairead Kerr, musician from Scotland
“Thank you again, Liv! Sometimes I think you are sent by God to help us. As we always say in Africa, to have a good healing you have to talk about your sickness. The younger generations sometimes miss that. Thank you, Liv, for enabling powerful healing and happiness!!”
-Salif
“My experience connecting with the Kontomblé was incredible. Through Liv's gift, I was also able to receive my messages from ancestors and spirit guides. By communicating with Kontomblé I was able to hear my life's next steps and get specific guidance on my journey. I've since, had a few sessions with Liv, and I've encouraged my friends and family to do so as well. I'm thankful for the introduction to Kontomblé and I cannot wait to further build that relationship! Thanks Liv. xo”

“Liv Wheeler is a very gifted shamanic practitioner. My work with her is very powerful and truly transformational. Not only do I have a better understanding of some things that are happening in my life, I have a deeper understanding of myself and my soul's purpose on this earth. Usually I have had to travel to shamans and healers in other parts of the world to receive this level of healing. I feel blessed that I have now found someone in this country who is able to work on such a deep level. I know my patients will also benefit from the work I do with Liv. Thank you, thank you, thank you! With love.”
-Dr. Bonnie McLean, O.M.D., A.P., M.A., B.S.N.
“Liv Wheeler is a gifted soul who radiates compassion, humor, and ancient wisdom. The clarity of her connection with Spirit shines through in her sessions and she embodies a depth of presence that is nurturing and healing. She shows up for every meeting with her entire soul on deck, and I can’t help but feel encouraged to do the same when I meet with her. She’s the real deal, and her connection to the ancestors is deep and rich.
...Liv and the Kontomblé inspired me to move through blocks that had been inhibiting my progress for months. After working with Liv, I felt completely empowered to step more fully onto my own soul’s path. As a loving mentor and friend, she holds me accountable for living my soul’s work every time we meet, and, for that, I am forever grateful...
Thank you, Liv, for sharing your unique medicine with the world!”
-Christa Sonnier, Intuitive Healer and Yoga Instructor
“I needed clarity with regards to my spiritual path and life purpose. I reached out to Liv because she seemed authentic, kind, approachable and connected with the spirit realm in a very real and concrete way. I soon realized that all of these things I had intuitively felt about her were true.
Shortly after a Kontomblé voice divination session with Liv, I began to experience energetic shifts within myself, as well as fortuitous external events in my life. The clarity and guidance I was seeking continues to reveal itself to me.
I believe that Liv’s work and the Kontomblé have played an important role in the recent acceleration of my spiritual growth and development. She is open, generous and genuine. I am grateful for her dedication to what she does, as well as the road she’s travelled to enable the Kontomblé to speak through her.
If you’re feeling called to seek guidance from someone with integrity and a vigorous connection to ‘the other side’, I highly recommend Liv!”
-Jay, Shamanic Practitioner
Wow! Great to know a real Shaman in the bay! Liv Wheeler healing the world!
-DJ QBert, World renowned Dj/Musician
“Thank you again Liv for the divination today. I’ve spent most of the day reflecting on it. So very powerful. Stop you dead in your tracks powerful. Can’t think of anything else today powerful. Lol. I’m going out this evening to do some shopping and I will pick up some things to start the altar. I want the ancestors to know that I am ready to show up to honor them and partner with them in service. I’m not playing around anymore with those guys!!!”
-Ingrid
“Hi, Liv! I wanted to write to you to thank you for the conversation we had almost a year ago now with the ancestors. In the conversation, they told me to “write that book,” and I have just sent out a proposal/sample of my book to my first round of literary agents. I have been keeping their guidance in the back of my mind during the writing process, remembering that their wisdom knows the path. I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for your support on this journey. I had no idea just how knowing they are, and you showed me their voice. I can't thank you enough. All my love.”
-Madelaine, Yale pre-med student
“I have been involved in deep intuitive spiritual work for over twenty years. Liv Wheeler is one of the most exceptional souls I have ever encountered. She is a humble person of very high integrity and ethics and has dedicated her life to her spiritual path and to helping all of humanity.
She is profoundly connected to the spiritual realms and possesses the ability to connect with your personal ancestors and her spirit guides in order to provide guidance and council in a variety of areas of a person’s life.
I have found her spirit guidance to be of the highest caliber and I have the utmost trust in her as my guide, spirit worker, mentor and friend. I trust her heart, her intuition and her most of all, her spirit connection!”
-John Collins, Spiritual Mentor + Conducts Ceremony
“This is a message meant for Liv and yet if others see it too, then I trust there is a gem in its energy in it for you too.
For a few days now I have been deeply thinking about Liv. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reading her book… The reason matters less than the deep call to offer my appreciation for Liv’s work. While reading her book I was brought to tears a few times and with an explanation that I miss her!
I know that sometimes my energy could be off or at times my heart is guarded. We all have a choice to work through our demons. I’m grateful for Liv as I am aware of her soul's dedication to this work. Including the amount of internal work that such a position requires in order to maintain an open heart.
Wow! Liv! The Kontomblé! Hahaha they have been so strongly coming in the last few days and I was reunited with the village of Kontomblé that I met after the mentoring session I had with you. I became so grateful because you showed me this door. I realized how extending this to others is so important and wow how much they benefit from being connected with the Kontomblé. It was the first time I was shown that I am a piece, a bridge, in that connection. I am so thankful that I’m more actively working with them. Which is in part, LARGELY, due to you!
I drafted a thank you letter. Today as I offer my thank you as email I’m grateful for the symbol of a paper airplane and email! I wanted to express gratitude. We are all doing work. I’m thankful for yours.
Thank you to whoever else reads this, Sylvie, if there is anything I can do to extend to your spirit energetically with love, I will. To the other staff who may read this, I apologize I am not familiar but I wish you good health and a joyful heart amongst those who also love and support you.
Thank you to the whole team and thank you for sharing this with Liv.
With love, to all of you and the Kontomblé.”
-Rebecca
“The fact that Liv and I found ourselves together at the same time in “La Casa de la Madre” during our medicine journey is one of the things that happened this year which comforts me in the idea that we all have a destiny. Everything has a purpose. Things don’t just happen like that. I had to come to Peru that very moment to meet her so that I had the occasion to work with the Kontomblé. The conversation I had with them through Liv has been quite a shock for me. I didn’t understand all of what they told me to do. I guess I’ll have to work on it to discover for myself what this is all about. But all the rest fits so perfectly to who I am that it’s almost scary. A part of me wishes that I hadn’t had this conversation because now I know that I have a lot of work to do. And that I can’t try to have this happy little normal life that I finally resigned myself to live. It would have been so much more simple not to know the Truth. But I had to know. Otherwise, I would have chosen a wrong way to live. Thank you, Liv. Thank you for the conversation that will help me to find my way.”
-Alexander, artist from france
“I was enlightened and humbled by a special friend and Shaman, Liv Wheeler, about connecting to my Ancestors and how the art that channels through me can heal and bring light. Liv is very special and unlike any Shaman I have encountered.”
-East3, hip hop artist & youth mentor
“We live in a confusing time. I know I’m confused. Since I was young, I have sought clarity through a return to something I cannot name. Over the past twenty years, I have studied and practiced dozens of spiritual traditions and paths trying to name it, and every name I find seems to point me towards something ancient, something human, something beyond traditions and “isms.” We have no good name for this ancient wisdom in our culture, so for lack of better words, we can call it “animistic shamanism,” which is found all over the world, dating back to the beginning of human culture. This ancient spirituality, our human inheritance, has survived in the traditional cultures around the world, but these cultures are disappearing fast. The elements of shamanism that found their way into modern religions such as Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Tantra are slim in their surviving, and they too are disappearing in their original form, adapting for better or worse to the values of modern consumer culture.
In my eyes, our confusion as a species is largely due to being severed from our ancient human roots, from the earth, from our food, from our history, and from our Ancestors. We wander the earth like floating heads, unaware of our connection to the natural world and to the cycles of time and life, lost in a conceptual trance brought on by gadgets and gizwidgets, social media and entertainment.
Thankfully, many people today are waking up to their pain and confusion and are seeking a return to natural wisdom. To do this, we need authentic guides, especially here in America. And thankfully, there are authentic guides among us who have begun to make the journey back to our ancient human spirituality. Liv Wheeler is such a person.
There are many “new-age,” “woo-woo” guides out there who attempt to help people without grounding or training in tradition. Many naïve people claim to be spirit mediums and do not have a clue as to whom or what they are “channeling.” As someone with years of background in many wisdom traditions, I am immediately skeptical of most “new age” people. As soon as I checked out Liv, however, my skepticism fell away because it was clear to me that she was not one of these people, and that she is connected to a living tradition of ancient wisdom with authentic roots. In my past, I studied the works of Malidome Some, someone I know to be an authentic shaman, and after learning that Liv trained with him, I knew that I was encountering something real and alive with wisdom.
In our session, it was clear to me that Liv was a lucid medium. She communicated personal and transformational wisdom. Our session affirmed my spiritual path and offered me great insight into my ancestral roots. It is reassuring to know that I am connected to something deeper than I am able to perceive in my waking life. The session was accurate in a way beyond words, for it touched into a truth much bigger than “poor little me.”
Our culture is hungry for a return to natural wisdom. Liv provides many ways to connect with our wisdom roots through hosting ritual, through connecting to ancestors, and through communicating the wisdom of nature. Human beings are not alone on this planet. When we begin to wake up, we realize that we are in a vast interconnected universe, full of beings. Some of these beings may even be looking out for us, and Liv’s work proves this.
If you are looking for a return to natural wisdom and want to connect to your authentic humanity, I highly recommend Liv Wheeler as a guide.”
