I’m Hanna Kubbutat-Byrne, a shamanic practitioner, tarot reader, and mentor, living on the Cornish coast with my family. My work is about supporting people to navigate life’s transitions, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and find healing through practical, down-to-earth spiritual support. I believe in a gentle healing that honours both the seen and unseen forces that shape our lives, at your own pace.
My Approach
I don’t claim to have the answers. I work with spirit, and I work with you – as, more often than not, you already know what you need. Most people do. My role is to create the space, offer potential tools or rituals, and help clear what may be getting in the way.
My practice is rooted in service – whether that’s holding space for personal transformation, making offerings to the land, or supporting leaders and teams to work with more clarity and resilience. I draw on shamanic traditions while honouring the roots of these practices, my own ancestry and the wide ranging professional experience I have gained from many sectors. I am committed to weaving this work in a way that is ethical, accessible, and grounded in integrity.
My Background
My ancestors come from England, Ireland, East Prussia, and the Baltic region, and their stories, traditions, and land-ties shape my work. I grew up in foster care, which means my relationship with belonging, lineage, and healing has been hard-won. I know the weight of grief, loss, heartbreak, and longing. I also know that healing is possible – not by erasing the past, but by finding a way to carry it with more ease.
I’ve worked with people all my adult life – in prisons, local authorities, theatres, corporate boardrooms, and grassroots projects. I’ve mentored young people and senior leaders of tech companies. I’ve worked in caring roles, project management, operational leadership, and community spaces. I’ve dug graves and worked in cafés.
My work as a healer is not just learned – it is lived. Years of personal healing and walking alongside people has given me a deep understanding of the human spirit, resilience, grief, and transformation. I believe that my varied lived experience is what makes my work real, practical, and deeply rooted.
What I Offer
If you feel called to this work, I’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re looking for healing, guidance, or support in your leadership, I offer a space that’s grounded, honest, and deeply rooted in the wisdom of those who walked before.
*Below, I honour my wonderful ancestors with a prayer and a few of their photographs. My wonderful big sister Helen is within the photos – a living ancestor! She has led the way with huge ancestral research and I am beyond grateful to her!
Ancestors of my blood, bone, and spirit,
I call to you with big thanks in my heart!
For the life that flows through me, I thank you.
For the strength woven into my being, I honor you.
For the love, the lessons, and the longing that shaped me, I remember you.
You who walked before me,
Who carried burdens I will never know,
Who fought, who healed, who dreamed –
Because of you, I stand here today.
To the mothers and fathers,
The wise ones and wanderers,
The keepers of stories and songs,
I offer my thanks.
May your wisdom guide me,
May your courage steady me,
May your love surround me,
As I walk my path in messy humaness!
With an open heart, I forgive you,
As you forgive me in turn.
May peace be between us,
May healing flow through our line, for good.
Thank you, my ancestors, for my life.
Blessed Be!
Perkūns wēidā, wurs patiārbs, dāyk man skaislī wērsnas, tūntran dēinas, kūrlī lēits!
