A Shaman in NYC: Sacred Lineage of Healing
The heart of ShemaYah Holistic Health in Manhattan is rooted in ancestral wisdom. Founder Hezi Badnany comes from a long line of traditional Sephardic Jewish herbalists and Spiritual guides. From a young age, he was immersed in the healing practices of his elders, learning how plants, prayer, energy healing, and ritual could restore balance and open pathways to clarity.
This sacred lineage informs every session at ShemaYah Holistic Health in NYC. It brings an element of reverence, intuition, and spiritual depth that cannot be learned from books or certifications alone. When you receive energy healing treatment at ShemaYah Holistic Health in NYC, you’re not just receiving from one person—you’re receiving from generations of healers who have walked this path before.
This lineage blends seamlessly with modern techniques, creating a bridge between ancient tradition and contemporary wellness that is both grounded and elevated.
”This is not just another Reiki treatment in NYC; Hezi is truly the best healer I have ever visited…” - Steve C.
Hezi Badnany
First and foremost, I would like to thank my ancestors for their guidance. ShemaYah Holistic Health 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 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 immigrated from Iraq after WWII, I was raised with the deep wisdom of herbal medicine, energy healing, and spiritual connection passed down through generations.
My grandmother Miriam cultivated healing with plants and food, and from a young age, I was immersed in the power of nature’s medicine. After exploring the world and studying with master healers, shamans, and Reiki practitioners, 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 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. 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.
