Hezi Badnany
First and foremost, I would like to thank my ancestors for their guidance.
ShemaYah exists thanks to you, with the purpose of continuing to help as many people as I can, just as you did for generations before me.
ShemaYah (pronounced Shem-A-Yah) was my great-grandmother’s Esther last name, representing our healing lineage, and it means "God has heard" in Hebrew.
I am an Energy Healing Practitioner
and Reiki Master based in NYC.
I grew up in Israel in a Sephardic Jewish family that immigrated from Iraq to Israel after WW2. After spending my teen years in Israel, I chose to travel the world, explore different cultures, and expand my knowledge of Energy healing techniques and Shamanic traditions.
My work is deeply rooted in Energy healing, Shamanic work, and Herbal medicine. Since a very young age, I have had the honor of learning and practicing original medicine (also known as herbal medicine), as well as different energy healing techniques and Reiki, with several master healers around the world.
Energy healing and holistic medicine have been part of my lineage for generations on both sides of my family.
My great-grandmother Esther was a medicine woman (a female shaman) who passed down all her knowledge to my family, and then to me.
Growing up with an Iraqi grandmother, I was inspired by and exposed to herbalism and plant-based remedies. My grandmother Miriam cultivated a garden of herbs, plants, and vegetables, which she used to select the most vibrant and flavorful spices for her kitchen and to prepare natural remedies.
Thanks to this rich experience, I chose to pursue the path of herbalism and culinary. I graduated from the International Culinary Center and Arborvitae School of Traditional Herbalism.
I worked for a decade as a pastry chef but my passion for herbal medicine led me to incorporate it into food to enhance my health and life.
I wanted to help others too, live healthier lives. However, I wasn't yet sure how to best combine these benefits to achieve that goal.
Then, I decided to expand my knowledge of Reiki by learning from Reiki Masters in Manhattan who use different techniques. I obtained my Reiki certificates from the NYC Reiki Center and other masters along the way.
A couple of years ago, I suffered from a medical condition that kept me in bed for weeks with every outburst of pain. I consulted different doctors and specialists, but none of them could give me an answer regarding my condition. They ran tests and prescribed heavy drugs (which I usually avoid) to try and ease my symptoms and eliminate different possibilities.
I felt like I was running around in circles, abusing my body, and spending a ridiculous amount of money with no results. I grew tired of this absurd game and decided to take the matter into my own hands.
I stopped taking the prescribed medications and tuned in asking my body and spirit what I needed. I treated myself with energy healing for a couple of hours each day, took herbal remedies in the form of tinctures and teas, and used Crystals and singing bowls.
A week in, I already started to feel better. I remember the evening in June of 2022, a month and a half into my protocol of combining energy healing, herbal medicine, Crystals, and sound healing. This is when I connected the dots, and ShemaYah Holistic Health (formerly known as Healingz) was born!
I started my practice in New York City, known to you as Multi Vibrational Healing, and I am so grateful that I did.
Practicing different healing techniques with my clients throughout the years, I gained valuable knowledge and experience.
I keep learning and continue to explore other techniques with different shamans and healing masters to enhance my energy-healing treatments.
I have had the opportunity to see hundreds of people and support their healing journey for the best.
Using Multi Vibrational Healing, my clients experienced life-changing results in their process, whether it was chronic conditions that affected their physical health or emotional/energetic imbalances that kept them living in stress.
I am here to help you maximize your body's healing potential and guide you on your healing journey. Together, we will work on various aspects of the self to heal, transform, and evolve.
