Namaskaram! My name is Shawni.
As a lifelong seeker I've taken myself on many journeys. I've trained as a hatha yoga instructor, became certified as a Therapeutic Life Coach™, NLP practitioner and Master Hypnotherapist, was initiated as a reiki master/teacher, received a certification as a shiatsu massage therapist, learned cranial sacral therapy, dabbled in thai bodywork, trained as a doula and sat with a shaman in ayahuasca ceremonies. This was just part of my journey and much more to come. Currently I am training as a Master Ayurvedic Digestive Counselor & learning about Human Design. I am a 3/6 Pure Manifesting Generator.
I learned a lot about myself while helping other people with their lives. When I became a mother I knew it was time to really focus. I took a long break and during that time I found my guru and started practicing kriya yoga everyday. I wanted to get back into serving others, knowing I still had many gifts to offer.
I love the health and wellness field. Many of my passions surround health in the body, mind, spirit. I am often integrating conscious daily rituals to support my system and its fluctuating needs. Three major components to this being feeding the body life-giving (positive pranic) nourishing foods, moving the body, being in nature & creating stillness to go inward.
