Sapelma, a shamanic medicine healer from Buryatia, Siberia, now practices at the Dragon Nest center in New Paltz, NY, continuing an unbroken healing lineage that spans 10 generations and 10,000 years.
Connected to the Buryat line of Tibetan Buddhism, Sapelma can trace her ancestry back 10 generations of healers. Her brother and grandfather served as Buddhist lamas. According to her tradition, healers from this lineage are reborn in the Pure Lands of Green Tara and return to Earth specifically to help people heal.
Since beginning her work at Dragon Nest, approximately 200 people from the Terrapia community have received Sapelma's sessions and reported specific health improvements. Her practice combines deep bodywork massage with powerful energetic healing techniques.
Each healing session costs $250 and lasts 1.5-2 hours. The intensive work addresses both physical ailments and spiritual imbalances through ancient Buryat shamanic methods refined over millennia.
Sapelma represents a rare living link to humanity's oldest healing traditions. Her presence in New York's Hudson Valley offers authentic traditional healing to contemporary seekers, maintaining the sacred integrity of practices that have sustained human wellness for thousands of years.
The Buryat healing tradition survived centuries of cultural pressure in Siberia, combining shamanic practices with Tibetan Buddhist philosophy to create a unique holistic approach that treats the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.

I first visited Sapelma in autumn 2023. I’ll admit I was a little scared and unsure, because I didn't understand how it works, but I was also in pain. My feet hurt — both muscles and joints — and I got tired very quickly. I was told this level of discomfort was normal for my age (I'm sixty), but I didn’t want to give up my dancing. So I came to Sapelma, just to make sure I had tried everything.
And it worked. The pain disappeared, and I could dance again. I felt like I could fly.
The results lasted for almost two years. This year, I returned for a second session, and once again, I’m deeply thankful. Sapelma has…
Sapelma
is a healer in the highest sense of the word. I met her 3 years ago when I was suffering a lot after cancer removal followed by radiation therapy. All chronic diseases worsened and new ones appeared. Hopeless pain took me captive. Fortunately, at that time Sapelma
came to my aid! Step by step, very carefully, she freed me from pain and taught me to resist it. Now I am 86 years old, And I feels much better than at 83. Low bow and thank you very much, dear Sapelma. Thank you very much, dear Dina, for helping me meet Sapelma
I had been struggling with chronic fatigue, insomnia and uncomfortable digestive issues that conventional medicine hadn’t been able to fully resolve. Then I found Sapelma. She immediately made me feel comfortable and safe. After our first session I started noticing subtle but powerful shifts. I gained clarity and felt more grounded. After two sessions with her I feel really better - lighter, more energetic and don’t suffer from any sleep problems. My digestion improved significantly after working with Sapelma. It’s been a deeply healing process, and I’m so grateful to her. I would recommend Sapelma to my friends.
I’ve had multiple sessions with Sapeoma, the effects were long lasting . Not only the pain in my muscles&joints was relieved, but I also managed to relax deeply. Slept better and felt more whole for multiple days in a row.
Sapelma is a hereditary healer from the Buryat tradition, with 10 generations of healer ancestors behind her. Her sessions penetrate deep into one's body and soul, and the results are remarkable. Personally, I have experienced ease with several annoying body symptoms that were ailing me, with a sharp increase of energy and the sense of well-being for weeks to come. It is rare to find a healer from this tradition in the US. Xander Boo
