Niko Karelas LAC BS MSAC

Master Clinician | Shaman | Transformational Life Strategist

( Licensed & Board Certified )


Niko Karelas is a world-renowned Master Clinician & Energy Specialist for High Performers and one of the rare few to carry the title of shaman in its truest form — not as a label, but as a lived responsibility.

He is known for his ability to perform an advanced form of etheric healing — a precise and powerful modality that clears energetic interference, harmonizes the system, and creates lasting transformation on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

Through his private practice at The Shaman NYC, Niko blends shamanic energy work, classical acupuncture, somatic therapy, and strategic life coaching to help high-functioning individuals reconnect to purpose, restore clarity, and evolve into the next level of their lives.

ROOTED IN LINEAGE. REFINED BY MASTERY.

Born into an ancient lineage of master healers, Niko carries spiritual codes passed down through source. His path has been shaped by decades of training with shamans, Tibetan monks, Daoist Priests, a Hindu yogi master of nada yoga (sacred sound), and clinical masters — including vocal coaches from the Metropolitan Opera.

He previously ran New York’s largest meditation center before creating The Shaman NYC: a private sanctuary for transformational healing grounded in ancient wisdom and clinical excellence.

THE TRUE MEANING OF A SHAMAN

In today’s culture, the word shaman is often misunderstood — used casually or divorced from its sacred origins.

In its true definition, a shaman is a gatekeeper between dimensions — one who walks between heaven and earth to restore balance, dissolve spiritual blocks, and reconnect others with their divine essence and life path.

Niko does not self-identify with this title lightly. It is a sacred role he carries through lineage, initiation, and the lived ability to navigate and influence the energetic realms. His work is not borrowed. It is embodied, precise, and transformative.

WHO HE SERVES

Niko works exclusively with individuals who are ready to move beyond surface-level wellness and into deep personal evolution.

His clients include:

  • Founders, executives, and high-level professionals

  • Artists, performers, and creatives under pressure

  • Spiritual seekers in awakening or reinvention

  • Individuals who have achieved outer success but feel energetically misaligned or spiritually stuck

Each session is customized, drawing on multiple dimensions of healing and coaching to help clients unlock clarity, restore energetic flow, and embody their next level of purpose.

WHAT THIS WORK IS — AND ISN’T

This is not voodoo.
This is not witchcraft, brujería, or psychic fortune telling.
This is not spirit possession work or paranormal entertainment.

This is advanced etheric healing and life recalibration rooted in ancient tradition, spiritual integrity, and clinical expertise. It is designed for those who are ready to take responsibility for their evolution — and willing to meet themselves at the deepest level.



A Modern-Day Mystic with Ancient Roots

Niko’s path is grounded in both ancestral wisdom and elite training. He has spent decades studying with prestigious healing masters across the globe, integrating ancient healing arts with modern somatic and energetic sciences.

His training includes:

  • 4 Year Master of Science (Acupuncture)

  • Craniosacral Therapy

  • Usui Reiki and Multidimensional Energy Healing

  • Elite Vocal Training (Metropolitan Opera)

  • Advanced Meditation & Shamanic Healing

  • Esoteric Anatomy & Chakra Diagnostics

As an authentic shaman, Niko works beyond the veil—assisting clients in connecting to the Divine, activating their inner healer, and creating harmony between earth and heaven, body and spirit, mind and soul.

NYC’s Largest Meditation Center

Before founding The Shaman NYC, Niko ran the largest meditation center in New York City, where thousands gathered to reconnect to silence, breath, and the sacred. The space became a cornerstone for spiritual practice, and personal awakening—guided by Niko’s unwavering dedication to building conscious community.

Trained in Sacred Sound by the Metropolitan Opera’s Elite

A master of energy through both silence and sound, Niko also trained with elite vocal coaches from the Metropolitan Opera, learning to channel the voice as a vehicle of healing, transformation, and divine transmission.

His sound healing sessions often include:

  • Crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and sacred chimes

  • Channeled vocal toning and harmonic resonance

  • Guided voice transmissions to activate and realign energy

  • Spoken word ceremonies and mantra work

Through voice and vibration, Niko helps clients release emotional pain, reset their nervous systems, and access altered states of consciousness.

More Than Healing—It’s Remembering Who You Are

Clients come to Niko for many reasons—burnout, trauma, emotional overwhelm, spiritual awakening—but what they receive goes far beyond symptom relief.

He offers soul work—the type of healing that helps people come home to themselves, reconnect with purpose, and remember the Divine within.

He has worked with:

  • Artists, musicians, and performers

  • CEOs, entrepreneurs, and high-achievers

  • Spiritual seekers, healers, and empaths

  • Individuals healing from chronic illness, heartbreak, or trauma

  • Groups seeking sacred space for transformation and alignment
