Hi, I’m Shana.
I help people reconnect with themselves and the earth so they can live with more clarity, vitality, and purpose.
For as long as I can remember, the natural world has been my sanctuary, my mirror, and my teacher. What started as my own path back to wholeness eventually became my life’s work: guiding others to access deep healing through the medicine of the earth.
My approach blends somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and intentional presence with practices like guided meditation and self-inquiry, shamanic sound journeys, prayer and ceremony, energetic cleansing, conscious movement, and nature-connection rituals. These practices calm the nervous system, release stuck energy, restore vitality, and reconnect you with your most authentic self.
I’m a nature-based healer and alchemist, a certified Wayfinder life coach, and a shamanic practitioner in training on the Inca Medicine Path — a lineage that teaches relationship with land, spirit, and our innate wisdom.
I currently lead the Healing Arts department at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, where I steward a team of 40 practitioners offering transformative experiences rooted in embodiment, presence, and connection. I also offer private forest bathing experiences and facilitate conscious movement classes designed to bring you home to your body and soul.
Before walking this path full-time, I spent years in the tech world as a marketing executive and strategist at companies including Meta, Eventbrite, and Veeps. That chapter wasn’t separate from this one. It sharpened my ability to see patterns, understand human behavior, and design experiences that truly resonate, and ultimately led me to ask deeper questions about meaning, connection, and what truly sustains us.
If you’re in a season of awakening, transition, or remembering who you are…
…you are in the right place. I’d love to meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your path.
