Standing Crane Spirit Medicine

Standing Crane Spirit Medicine I offer Soul Retrieval & Extractions, Journey Work & Soul Midwifery. I was trained and initiated in the Red Road path by Lyn Spirit Eagle.

I am Liza Standing Crane, a Shamanic Practitioner and Soul Midwife from Hogsback in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. After a decade of working with traditional West African Medicine (Iboga) to facilitate recovery from substance use disorders and certain psychological disorders, I was called to step into the world of shamanism where I was taught a range of soul-doctoring techniques over 7 years. Lyn was a student of Ai Gvhdi Waya, an Eastern Cherokee Metis Shaman whose heritage was passed on from her great-great-grandmother, a member of the Wolf Clan, and a medicine woman. My gift as a shaman is to facilitate Soul Recovery, Extractions, and Journey Work. I am a certified Shamanic Counsellor for Crows’ Nest Centre for Shamanic Studies. This centre was founded by C Mikkal Smith, a Shaman, Jungian psychologist, and medical anthropologist. Crows' Nest is a heart-open and earth-honoring community of trained shamanic facilitators who offer guidance to those interested in the shamanist way, Jungian psychological practices, and in healing and transformation. I am also a trained and certified Soul Midwife (Death Doula). My mission here is to bring spirituality, through presence and ritual, back into the physical act of dying. I guide individuals and their families to make informed decisions, and provide a sense of comfort and support during this final chapter of life. The path I follow is a heart-centered one and does not require entheogens to enable the work to be done. It uses heart intelligence, in sacred ceremonies, to direct healing energy.

Reclaiming Lost Essence: Soul Retrieval & Extractions

In my work, I offer soul recovery and extractions — two central practices in shamanic healing that help restore balance, vitality, and a sense of wholeness.

Soul recovery is the process of retrieving parts of a person’s soul (or energy) that may have split off due to trauma, grief, or shock. When life becomes too overwhelming, parts of our essence sometimes leave to protect us. This can leave us feeling disconnected, numb, or like something is missing. I journey on behalf of the client to locate and bring back these soul parts, gently restoring what was lost.

Extractions involve the removal of energies that do not belong — things that may feel heavy, intrusive, or stagnant. These energies can affect us emotionally, physically, or spiritually. In this work, I clear what is ready to go, allowing the person’s natural life force to flow freely again.

All of this is done in close partnership with my spirit guide, who assists me in every journey and healing session. This work is about deep listening, honoring the unseen, and supporting the soul’s return to its natural rhythm and strength.

Sessions are available both in person and remotely. 🪶💕

Welcome to my page 🪶💕

I am Liza, a Medicine Woman, grounded in the misty forests of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.

My path has carried me through many landscapes while in search of my own healing — from a decade of working with traditional West African Medicine, to being called into the world of shamanism, where I have been entrusted with sacred, soul-centered practices that support deep personal transformation.

Through Soul Recovery & Extractions, Journey Work, and Soul Midwifery, I provide steady, compassionate guidance, holding space for what is unseen, unspoken, and sacred.

I’m here to support you through life’s transitions—whether you’re navigating loss, identity shifts, emotional upheavals, or the profound journey at the end of life.

I invite you to explore your inner landscapes with me, to reconnect with your truest essence, and to realign with your natural rhythm and path.

The path I walk and the work I do is heart-centered, guided by ancient wisdom and deep presence, using sacred practices to direct healing energy where it is most needed.

Many years ago, in a powerful vision, my teacher Isis came to me with a message:
"There is no safe place. Choose the land you love and stay there."

At a time when so many are searching for safety in a chaotic world, this teaching reminds us to ground where our soul feels most at home.

The Earth is calling us not to run but to deepen. To be in the right relationship with the land beneath our feet and the life around us.

An important message...

Our moment of reckoning has arrived. It’s time to confront our choices, actions, and beliefs. We must take accountability for what we have done and make the crucial decisions needed for change. Mother Earth is crying out—she doesn’t need saving; this is a wake-up call for our personal transformation if we wish to move forward. We cannot continue down this path of self-destruction any longer.🪶💕

❗️❗️SHAMANIC JOURNEYS: A WORD OF CAUTION ❗️❗️

I’ve noticed a rise in offerings for “meeting your spirit guide” in and around my community, and I feel it’s important to share a word of caution.

With 12 years of experience in working in both the physical and spiritual realms, including 7 years of training under an seasoned shaman, I understand the complexities of entity attachments and the critical importance of spiritual discernment.

These journeys might seem harmless or even enjoyable—often led by well-intentioned individuals dressed for the occasion—but these journeys are not to be taken lightly. You cannot safely embark on a shamanic journey with an inexperienced guide. This is not a visual meditation, although it may seem as such. Negative entities can appear beautiful and harmless, deceiving you into believing they’re here to help when they are not.

The person guiding you must have deep knowledge and experience in protection and discerning the true nature of spirits—a skill that takes many years of dedicated training. Good intentions alone won’t ensure your safety.

Just as our physical world has shadows, so too does the spirit world. If you’re unprepared or unaware, accepting the first “guide” that appears can invite harmful entities into your life, impacting your spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Additionally, creating the correct inner landscape is essential; meeting your true guide doesn’t happen on the first journey.

Please, do your research. Ask about the facilitators training, lineage, and experience. Genuine shamanic knowledge is passed down through generations—it cannot be learned alone. This work is sacred—and it can be harmful when offered by inexperienced facilitators.

When done properly, the shamanic journey is a powerful tool for personal transformation and healing. There are many wonderful and experienced shamanic practitioners out there.

Be mindful, be curious, and above all, be safe. 🪶💕
