To all the new people here, Iâd love to reintroduce myself đ
Iâm Hezi Badnanyâenergy healing practitioner and founder of ShemaYah Holistic Health.
I come from a Sephardic Jewish shamanic lineage where healing was a way of life. My ancestors were herbalists, mystics, and spiritual guides who worked with prayer, plants, and ritual to restore balance and connection in every aspect of life. That lineage flows through everything I do.
This work is in my blood. Itâs not something I choseâit chose me. From a young age, I felt a deep connection to energy and spirit. And after navigating my own journey through chronic illness, I was called to step fully into this path as the next practitioner of my lineage.
The name ShemaYah, meaning âGod has heard,â was my great-grandmother Estherâs name. Her presence still guides me. Through Reiki healing, sound therapy, vibrational medicine, and ancestral healing practices, I hold space for others to reconnect with themselvesâbody, spirit, and soul.
This isnât just energy work. Itâs lineage work. Itâs remembering who we truly are.
Thank you for being here and walking this path with me đ€
