Emily RiverStar

Emily RiverStar is a shamanic healer, ceremonialist and a breathwork facilitator.  She is the creator of New Paradigm Yin: The Way of the Waters and the ritual guidebook, The Eleven Gates of the Fire Horse.  Her work lives at the meeting place of shamanic practice, trauma-aware embodiment, energy medicine, and deep relationship with horses, land, water, and the natural world.

From childhood, Emily was sensitive to energy, emotion, and what was moving beneath the surface of things. She felt most at home with animals, water, trees, and the quiet intelligence of life beyond language. Through years of shamanic training and embodied practice, this sensitivity became a path of service: listening to the body, the unseen, the relational field, and what is ready to emerge through black mirror oracle work, light language, the wisdom of horses, and the Spirit of Water.

For many years, Emily has guided individuals and groups through spaces of healing, reflection, and transformation. Her background includes facilitating trainings in trauma healing and somatic practice, creating a somatic-based public health intervention, and leading retreats and immersive experiences rooted in presence, joy, and remembrance.

Emily understands healing not as something we force, but as something that emerges when the conditions for coherence are restored. Through her presence and practice, she invites others to soften into the body, listen beneath the noise, and remember their essential nature and connection to the web of life.
