About us

A belief is only a thought you keep thinking- and it is only the belief that you hold that keeps you from the things that you want. A belief is only a thought you keep thinking. And the only thing that keeps you from who-you-really-are and what you really want is a belief, which is only a thought you keep thinking.

- Abraham Hicks

South African born Mariamne Wulfsohn, has traveled, worked and lived in England, France, Canada, USA, Israel, Holland and India.

With an extensive Dance background, Mariamne completed a Higher National Diploma in Dance (UK), a BA Hons in Dance Practice & Cultural Policies, and The Feldenkrais Professional Training Programme® between 1990-1994.
Between 1994 and 1996 Mariamne studied Yoga and taught the Feldenkrais Method® in India, whilst working as a designer and manufacturer of 'One of a Kind' Jewelry in Goa and London.

Mariamne has choreographed Contemporary Dance for schools, youth clubs and Theatre groups in the community (1990--94). She trained school teachers for 'Dance in the National Curriculum' in the U.K, and directed/Choreographed performances for two Youth Dance Theatre companies. In-between studies and teaching, she created One of a Kind Jewelry business and started practicing aromatherapy, and creating her natural- chemical free cosmetic line.

After moving to the USA in 1996, she continued her interests in Aromatherapy by creating Nature's Essences, an Aromatherapy Cosmetic line in Los Angeles. Mariamne took on an eight month Flower Essence Apprenticeship in 1997, to become a Therapist in Vibrational Medicine, using innovative dowsing techniques.
Mariamne complemented her Healing practice by studying Pranic Healing, META MEDICINE and furthered her research in Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Crystal Therapy.

Mariamne became Joan Wulfsohn's assistant teacher at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing (I.P.S.B ) in Los Angeles, teaching Cellular Recall Therapy and Human Energy Systems. She later became the teacher of Neuromuscular Re-Education at I.P.S.B, designing the courses of level 1, 11 & 3.

In 1998 Mariamne founded Shamanessence™, a small business that provides unique environmental products for alternative healing and well being.

The name 'Shamanessence' was created and gifted to Mariamne by Denis Mason during her study with Carlos Casteneda in Los Angeles and Mexico. (Magical Passes were brought to the west from an ancient lineage of sorcerers from Mexico. Tensigrity- the practice of Magical Passes, were a daily practice which she shared with Denis. Mariamne utilized to open herself up to other realms of reality, through the Art of Dreaming and the Art of Stalking. The word Shamanessence came through to Denis during meditation. Denis felt that his new word Shamanessence contained an all encompassing description of Mariamne's unique multi talents in the Healing Arts, Music and Performing Arts. Mariamne then used Shamanessence to name her product line in 1998, and soon it became the umbrella of her teaching and healing practice.

Shamanessence Product's™ were conceived and co-created together with Nature Intelligence, using the synergy of Aromatherapy and Flower Essence Therapy. The products were designed for private, professional, home use. Mariamne found that they also were cosmetically beneficial.

Mariamne's Healing Art's practice has been motivated with the desire to learn and share knowledge to people interested in self development using multi-dimensional approaches to Mind, Body and Spiritual health.

Mariamne Wulfsohn has taught Healing Movement and Bodywork classes/seminars and workshops in Holland, England, India, and U.S.A. Mariamne has also taught Yoga, Pilate's, Dance and Deep Stretch in Holland, USA and presently at Virgin Active in South Africa.

She simultaneously runs a private practice of Structural Bodywork, Feldenkrais Method's Awareness Through Movement, Flower Essence Therapy and Energetic Healing. Mariamne's work has been greatly inspired by Perelandra Nature Research's systems, in which she offers a practice of Microbial Balancing, Soiless Gardening, and the energetic transmutation of Human's negative energic impact on our fields, land/Space and bodies of water.

Mariamne Wulfsohn works in Cape Town and Los Angeles. She currently travels to USA and Europe once a year to practice, teach, and distribute Shamanessence Products™ to stores in Los Angeles.
