What others are Saying

After returning from Afghanistan from my second tour, I was a mess. I was constantly agitated, and angry, I almost lost my family. Then I met the Úlfhédnar. He was able to help me to identify what was making me so anxious, and why I felt the desire for self-destruction. Not only did he help me, but helped my family understand me and, built methods to help us get through those dark moments. I have my life back. I am enjoying my children growing up. I am incredibly thankful that a military brother suggested I meet with the Úlfhédnar. Best move I’ve ever made.

My son recently returned home from three tours to Afghanistan with the US Army. He struggled with the things he saw and was finding it incredibly difficult to get back to normal life. My wife and I were concerned as he seemed to climb his way into a bottle for relief. A friend of ours suggested we have our son meet with the Úlfhédnar. Although incredibly reluctant, he went with us and met the Úlfhédnar. All I can say is WOW! The immediate impact he had on all of us, especially our son. Úlfhédnar is one of those people you meet who commands your respect even if you’ve never met him. After several sessions, our son stopped his destructive actions and turned his life around completely. We are absolutely thrilled to recommend the Úlfhédnar to anyone who is struggling with PTSD, or other psychological trauma. Six thumbs up from this family. Thank you so much.

After visiting with several psyche doctors of the VA, a friend recommended this Dane guy he heard about. After doing some research we found the Úlfhédnar. He is strikingly agreeable and understood all the feelings I was feeling, and never felt sorry for me, but showed me ways to stop feeling sorry for myself. We talked a lot about his ancestors and how they would have seen the world of their times. Then we applied super-simple steps that I could apply in my everyday life to curb the behaviors I didn’t want or need. He was straightforward and no-nonsense, definitely a guy that gets things done. Absolutely the best thing that ever came out of the VA, even if they don’t know it.

Our son, after returning from action overseas was unable to handle the burden and ended his life. It devastated my husband, our other two children, and myself, and pushed us all into a very dark place. Fortunately, one evening when browsing through podcasts, I found the AKÚlfhédnar. We made contact with him. Looking back over the last six months, it was definitely a gift from a higher power, because he saved all four of us, as well as my son’s two best friends. Very calming, he was able to reach each of us where we were at, and speak directly to our hearts and spirits, and move us all forward. Our son’s siblings have now gone on to blossom as young people who have something to look forward to. Thank you so much.

After losing my best friend while serving in the military overseas, I was without direction, and without hope. I became self-destructive, wrecking all the relationships around me, drinking myself stupid. After a particular evening of mayhem, as I sat in a jail cell, I heard two other guys talking, and one of them mentioned this “wannabe” Viking who thought he knew it all. I was intrigued and after I got out of jail I looked him up. We arranged a meeting. Not one to be trifled with, he is not a “wannabe”, he is absolutely the real thing. Although he swears he isn’t a Viking, I have never felt more comfortable with someone. No bullshit, he told me to “put my big boy pants on and get this done”. He gave me some GREAT tips for controlling my rage, and anger, while he helped me understand where I had to resolve some stuff. Today, I’m proud to report that the woman of my dreams has agreed to marry me, and my life is absolutely fantastic.

If you are looking for a solution to your mental issues, this is where the solutions are! Highly recommended as a source of no-nonsense answers and steps towards a solution, starting on the first day. Perfect.

If you need answers, this is the guy to see. Originally I chose him because friends said he was a “Viking”. The best thing I ever did, he was absolutely fantastic in helping me and my family.

I was struggling with the idea of walking away from everything, seriously contemplating ending my life, when a friend suggested I meet with a Shaman. Being as cynical as I was, I doubted this religious man would have any benefit. How wrong I was. From our first meeting, he was everything I needed at that point in my life! He never pressured me about my spiritual beliefs, he spoke to me like a friend, and he completely changed my life! Helping me to restore my hope, and experiencing emotional connections with my friends and family that I thought had left for good. I’m not sure how to say I recommend him highly enough, as there are only 5 stars. This man is truly a gift to humanity. Thank you so much for helping me, know me. Peace and Love my friend.

I could write a really sappy paragraph about how I was in such a really dark place when I found the Úlfhédnar, but instead, I’ll say that I’ll never be able to repay him for the gifts he has given me. My life. My love. My family. A wonderful existence that I never imagined I’d have when I was in the dark. Joy and peace with every sunrise. I am so lucky to have found you! Thank you so much! Love and peace my friend.

Before I met the Ulfhednar, I had no idea who I was. I was angry and bitter about having lived up to that point by “the fates”. With the help and guidance of the Shaman, I was able to take back control of my life and experience the world through my own eyes and not the lens of division and hate I had lived up to that time. Thank you so much for teaching me who I am. Love and joy my friend

I have been struggling with stress and anxiety for years to the point of needing medication. After working with the Shaman I have since removed my medications and have learned to take control of my emotional life leading me to a much less stressful life. I am now SO HAPPY! I am only saddened that it took me so long to find this Shaman. I can truly say that he has changed my life for the better. Thank you so much Alaska Ulfhednar!!

Before I met the Shaman I was being crushed by societal pressures on me to be and act a certain way. This had led to a life of alcohol/drug addiction that had me spiraling out of control. Finally in the winter of 2021 I overdosed and was admitted to the hospital. During my stay in the hospital, the person next to me had invited the Shaman to provide a blessing and help her undo the dark energy that was making the illness. While there I asked if she wouldn’t mind if I asked the Shaman questions. What a journey that led to! An exploration and introduction to myself that I never knew I could be! I have now over eighteen months of drug/alcohol free living and am beginning to know the real, powerful me. I can never express enough of my deepest gratitude to the shaman for not being judgmental and introducing me to myself. Love and light Shaman!

I am eternally grateful for the Shaman giving me my husband back. Over the last few months my husband has been meeting with the Shaman and whatever they discussed has given me the loving man I married back. My husband was deployed overseas and struggled with depression and aggression when he returned home. Even getting him to meet with the Shaman seemed challenging, but one he did I recognized the relief, and joy return to his life. Even our young children saw the difference. Thank you so much for giving me my best friend back! Blessings to you Shaman.

I’m a 36 y/o woman (practicing Witch) living in Palmer, Alaska. Before connecting with Dr. Mark, I was feeling so disconnected from myself, joy, and spirituality. I didn’t want to admit I was having a hard time, but despite regular sessions with a therapist, spending thousands of dollars on business coaching, reading a million self-help books, and researching everything about complex PTSD, I was still struggling to get out of bed in the morning. I was grieving the death of my grandmother, struggling to meet deadlines at work, and constantly turning to social media, cannabis, alcohol, and other unhealthy things to distract myself from the constant thoughts of self-doubt, self-loathing, and anxiety. I’d started to wonder if life had no meaning at all; I’d lost faith in myself and completely abandoned my spiritual practice. I knew that if nothing changed, things would just get worse, and I needed help.

I knew I wanted to reconnect to my witchcraft practice, and prayer, but I wasn’t sure I had the strength to believe in anything anymore, let alone an invisible deity. I was raised in the Episcopal Church and many of my family members are involved with Alcoholics Anonymous, but both organizations’ teachings never quite resonated for me. I’ve been a practicing Witch for over twenty years, but recently started to question everything.

Dr. Mark took the time to listen to my story without judgement. I read his book, The Turn to Final, and signed up for a few counseling sessions.

In session, Dr. Mark is compassionate, authentic, funny, and honest. He is extremely knowledgeable about emotional regulation and healing trauma, and also deeply connected to the ancient wisdom of the Norse culture. Our conversations were always interesting, genuine, and I after every session I walked-away with a new perspective on myself, the world around me, and the power of faith in the unknown.

He gave me a few journal exercises to try, and walked me through a releasing ritual I could use to escape the spiral of heavy thoughts triggered by past memories and trauma.
I was skeptical, but within just a couple weeks I found my energy increased and I was starting to feel hopeful again. Counseling sessions with the Alaskan Shaman helped me rediscover happiness and hope again. It became easier to move through depressive episodes, and I felt strong enough to choose healthier coping mechanisms, which ultimately helped me choose to quit drinking and stop smoking cannabis.

Dr. Mark helped me remember my power and autonomy; he helped me get back into the driver’s seat of my life, and inspired me to find my own personal spiritual path free from the influence/judgement of others. (Being a Witch in a Christian-dominant community can feel lonely at times.) it was so nice to talk to someone intelligent who could relate to my experience, and offer guidance without pushing a religious agenda or shaming me for my past mistakes.

I learned that I am NOT broken, I CAN find joy even on the hard days, and that my ancestors are here in spirit, still supporting me even when I struggle to believe.

I am so grateful for Ulfhednar and his teachings— this was the exact support I needed and it arrived at the perfect time in my life. If you’re considering booking a session, do it. You won’t regret it. I’ve also found that on days when I’m feeling low, listening to Dr. Mark’s podcast is a great way for me to come back to center and feel better. Thank you Ulfhednar! You are a magical human with a true gift for helping others.

It was a wonderful experience to authentically communicate with Mark Weisman about the shamanic roles that emerge from within as well as how we can transform the pain of our lives into healing journeys for ourselves and others.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed on doc’s podcast and had him interviewed on mine. His wealth of knowledge and history when it comes to spirituality and showing up as being the best human being we can while connecting to our spiritual side is not seen or taught by many. Truly appreciate the work that he is doing for humanity and recommend people to check out his work!
