info_outlineWhat if the moment that changes your entire life isn’t a single event… but a series of wake-up calls your soul keeps sending until you finally pay attention?
In this profoundly moving episode of Broken Beautiful Me, Kelly sits down with Simon Lüthi, a former high-performing corporate executive who nearly died multiple times before discovering the spiritual path that would transform his entire existence. Today he is known as The Rocket Shaman — a healer, energy medicine practitioner, and end-of-life doula whose work blends ancient wisdom with modern suffering.
Simon’s story begins long before adulthood: three near-death experiences as a child and teen, followed by years of pushing himself through perfectionism, pressure, and the relentless grind of corporate life. But everything began to unravel when he developed a mysterious autoimmune illness so severe he could barely get out of bed. Doctors couldn’t explain it. Treatments failed. And then came cancer.
These crises didn’t break him — they opened him.
Through shamanic training, energy medicine, ancestral healing, and an intense spiritual awakening, Simon discovered a deeper truth about illness, trauma, consciousness, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. His experiences guiding people through the final hours of life — and witnessing what happens in the moments just after — reshaped his understanding of love, death, and the continuation of the soul.
In this intimate conversation, Simon shares:
• ✨ The near-death experiences that marked him long before he understood them
• 🔥 How chronic illness and cancer became the catalysts for his spiritual awakening
• 🌿 The moment energy medicine finally shifted what modern medicine couldn’t
• 💫 Why he believes with absolute certainty that life continues after death
• 🕊️ The signs and messages he’s witnessed from loved ones who have crossed over
• 🌀 How trauma can live in the body across generations — and even past lives
• 🌙 What it means to guide someone through their final transition with peace and dignity
• 💛 Why self-talk, intention, and inner authority are essential to true healing
Simon also discusses his book, Becoming the Rocket Shaman, and how we can all begin reclaiming our power, our intuition, and the healing potential that lives inside us.
A powerful, healing, deeply spiritual exploration of illness, awakening, and the invisible threads connecting us to something much bigger than ourselves.
