About Hezi Badnany
He is the founder of ShemaYah Holistic Health and the creator of Multi-Vibrational Healing. With over 240 five-star Google reviews and recognition, Hezi has built a reputation as one of New York City’s most trusted energy healing practitioners.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my ancestors for their guidance. ShemaYah Holistic Health exists thanks to you, continuing helping others—just as you did for generations before me. ShemaYah (pronounced Shem-A-Yah) was my great-grandmother Esther's last name, representing our healing lineage, and means "God has heard" in Hebrew.
I am an Energy Healing Practitioner
and a Reiki Master based in NYC.
Born in Israel to a Sephardic Jewish family who came as refugees from Iraq after WWII, I was raised within a lineage deeply rooted in herbal medicine, energy healing, and spiritual connection.
From an early age, my great-grandmother Esther paved the path for me to walk through, teaching me spiritual practices passed down through generations. She was a remarkable medicine woman (female shaman) who helped her community in more ways than I can count.
My grandmother Miriam introduced me to the healing power of nature through plant medicine and nourishment, grounding me in a deeper understanding of holistic care.
I was immersed in the teachings of my elders, learning how plants, prayer, energy work, and ritual restore balance and open pathways to clarity. It brings an element of reverence, intuition, and spiritual depth that cannot be learned from books or certifications alone.
When you receive energy healing treatments at ShemaYah Holistic Health, you’re not just receiving from one person—you’re receiving from generations of healers who have walked this path before. This blends seamlessly with modern techniques, creating a bridge between ancient tradition and contemporary wellness.
After exploring and studying with Reiki Masters, healers, and shamans around the world, I brought together decades of learning and life experience to create my unique approach to healing.
From Chronic Illness to Spiritual Alignment
A pivotal moment came when I faced a chronic illness that conventional medicine couldn’t explain.
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 to 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. So I turned inward, using energy healing, herbs, crystals, and sound healing to restore myself. That journey became the catalyst for ShemaYah Holistic Health.
Today, I have the honor of supporting others on their healing journey, helping them reconnect with their inner wisdom, restore balance, and awaken their body’s natural ability to heal through Multi-Vibrational Healing in Manhattan, NY.
Whether you are seeking relief, clarity, or reconnection to yourself, you are not alone.
