“Too often we give away our power in one small surrender after another. The hard-won wisdom Alicia has poured into these pages – with authenticity and insight – will help you reclaim your power, reconnect to your courage, and use it to make the changes that tug most on your heart.” 

Dr. Margie Warrell, Bestselling Author of You’ve Got This: The Life-Changing Power of Trusting Yourself

“With vivid imagery and lush prose, Alicia delivers us to her fascinating life in Ecuador and, in her deft weaving of her tale, causes us to simultaneously fall in love with her shaman, empathise with his suffering, and fear him. These are deep insights into the mystical world from someone with the consciousness to understand the magic behind the tapestry.”

What readers are saying about The Shaman’s Wife.

  • "I’m there… I’m feeling the damp, cloying humidity in that room. Then I’m feeling the cool concrete and the hot tears outside on that veranda. This is so powerful, yet it’s still just a teaser for the story about to unfold. Your skill in moving us from past to present, back to a more distant past and on to other anchors in time is phenomenal. This experience of being privy to, what feels like, a privileged club of early readers is special. Thank you. "

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 Hello. Thank you for your interest in my new book, a memoir titled The Shaman’s Wife: A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self-Discovery, published on September 10, 2024, by She Writes Press.

Allow me to tell you a bit about it.

When Alicia Rodriguez, a successful entrepreneur recovering from divorce and loss, accepts an invitation to Ecuador to help a friend who is studying with a shaman, she has no idea how profoundly the decision will change her life’s course.

In Ecuador, Alicia meets Napo, a powerful shaman, and they begin an extraordinary relationship that spans two continents and eight years. Alicia learns the principles of shamanism and witnesses Napo’s remarkable healing abilities. Confronted with the illusion of her life in the United States, she decides to move to Ecuador to be with him, and together they build a healing center on the coast. Within a short time, however, she realizes that she has surrendered her power and agency to Napo—who now wields it as a weapon against her. After years of inner struggle, she finally finds the courage to leave Ecuador and moves to Portugal, where she finds peace . . . until an unexpected phone call rekindles old memories.  

An extraordinary memoir steeped in spirituality, shamanism, and metaphysics, The Shaman’s Wife is the story of a woman who, through a daring journey of self-discovery, reclaims and embraces her feminine wisdom—and realizes that love is the answer to her lifelong spiritual quest.
