This just seems like FUD. Either she's suitable for the role or she's not, and the measure of that isn't the presence or absence of shamanism in the resume, but what she's able to do. The proof is in the pudding.

In principle it isn't any more unhinged than the millions of people we work with who think Christianity or Judaism are real. If her Shamanism makes you uncomfortable, this is how many of us non religious people feel about all of you all the time .

If it were shamanism as one aspect of her background, sure it’s FUD.
