1-on-1 Healing Mentorship
Supporting you through deep transformation.
Helping you become more resourced so your body and mind can heal itself.
Guiding you to that next level of self-trust and self-love.
Walking the healing path with you, as a fellow healing human.
A time will come when you know there is more for you.
More joy, more clarity, more peace, more fulfillment, more abundance.
A time when you feel more ready and willing than ever before to devote yourself to getting out of your own way and becoming the way.
Maybe, your time is now.
Because you know your life is too fleeting, precious, and beautiful to live a so-so existence.
And you can feel yourself being called into greater service, deeper healing, and more aligned purpose.
You may know exactly what you are ready to say goodbye to:
your soul sucking job,
second guessing yourself,
toxic relationships,
or the pain that keeps you from feeling free in your own body, mind, and heart.
But chances are you might not know how to get from where you are now to where you want to be.
Because if you could, wouldn’t you already be living your dream life?
The irony is that even if you know what to do and how to do it, sometimes you might not be able to do it by yourself.
You might get worn down from one too many heartbreaks and become too jaded to keep your focus moving forward.
Or you might lose sight of why you are here and the gifts you are here to give from slogging along just trying to survive.
You might get deeply triggered by current events because they touch on old wounds, and despite your best efforts you find yourself reverting to behavior that sabotages the life you truly want.
Having worked with almost 1,000 people 1 on 1 over the past 11 years, it has become very clear to me when people need that “next level” support.
When mentorship can make all the difference for someone’s life trajectory.
So when things get hard, and your energy and motivation gets worn down, having someone who is a skilled healer, a compassionate, wise and seasoned soul in your corner, is EVERYTHING.
Because when you find yourself at a crossroads:
-
And you feel stuck and don’t know what to do
-
When all you can see is the challenge that is in front of you right now
-
You have tried everything and your progress has plateaued or things are getting worse
-
You have consulted with specialists but they aren’t offering you meaningful solutions
-
You know what you need to do but you’re not sure you can do it on your own
-
You know deeper healing, more joy, and more ease is what you want but you don’t know how to get there
-
You are navigating a major life transition (identity, work, relationships, home, family, loss, etc.)
"Thank you for creating such a safe space for deep vulnerability"
“I can't tell you how much it means to me to be fully witnessed right now at this point in my life when everything is so messy, raw and tender. Thank you for creating such a safe space for deep vulnerability. And thank you for so openly and vulnerably sharing what you're experiencing in your own life. It's such a gift to share this path with you, to see each other in ourselves and to witness you in both your healing gifts and your own healing.”
- Mentorship Participant
When your challenges feel too intense, go on for too long, or feel scary to work through on your own, what do you do?
You could try to figure it out for yourself. You could take your time and go about it in your own process.
For some people this is their path.
And I have great respect for people who have this level of discipline and clarity to meet things head on.
Because this is extremely rare - most people get stuck and have limits to what they can do.
The reality is, all people rely on other people. No one can do it all and everyone needs help.
So you might want to ask yourself:
-
Would this feel better working through on my own or with some support?
-
Would I be able to do more in a shorter amount of time with the help of a wise mentor?
-
If you have been trying to work through something on your own and it hasn’t worked for a while, what do you have to lose in asking for help?
What I have found in helping people work through really tricky health predicaments over the past 16 years is:
-
For some people, it is exceptionally hard asking for help, even if they feel really stuck and awful. Finding someone you can trust is key.
-
Having an attuned person supporting you through your challenges allows you to access deeper layers of feeling and healing because their presence amplifies your ability to stay with your own process as it is unfolding. You’ll be less likely to tune out or shy away from difficulties and be more willing and able to be present with whatever arises while feeling more resourced. When you can do this, it leads to more peace of mind and builds your courage and resilience.
-
The majority of your healing journey is inner work, but knowing that you have someone rooting for your success, who is there to offer support when you need is invaluable.
For most people, having a wise, seasoned mentor to guide you back to your own inner knowing
Having all the tools and knowledge in the world is not a universal fix for navigating the human experience with grace, skill, and wisdom.
This is when mentorship can change everything for you.
You might be navigating very new territory within.
And when things get wobbly and you start reverting to habitual ways of doing things, you have someone to help guide you back to your inner truth and remind you why you are taking a new direction and forging a new path for yourself.
It is in our shared humanity that knowledge turns into wisdom. (Don’t put me on a pedestal. I am human too, learning how to live with an open heart, while navigating immense
"I'm doing it and it feels so fucking good!"
"I will never forget that moment when we were in the treatment room and I looked at you and I was like, "Shanti, will I ever be able to do this? (Will I ever be able to get through this challenging period? Will I ever be able to radically accept myself, love myself and heal?) And you looked at me and said, "Yes" with full confidence. And you were right. I'm doing it and it feels so fucking good!"

Supporting you in feeling more resourced so you can be present with what is.
Reconnect deeply with your self and your ability to heal.
Supporting you through deep transformation.
Guiding you to that next level of trusting yourself and sustainable self-love.
Transforming knowledge into wisdom.
Walking the path with you, as a fellow healing human.
This offering of mentorship and support is what I wished I had when I went through my “dark night of the soul.”
Back then, I knew I needed help but had no idea how to ask for it or who I could trust.
I wasn’t sure what I needed or how to get to where I wanted to go…
I knew what wasn’t working but wasn’t sure how to change it…
+ How to feel less hijacked by past trauma and current triggers
+ How to build up my courage and resilience
+ How to make choices and live from an open heart that was also practical and grounded
I deeply craved:
+ Living in my body in a way that felt delicious and joyous
+ Cultivating a state of mind that felt like a sanctuary I could always feel safe in
+ Being able to be with my sensations and emotions in a way that felt nourishing instead of overwhelming
So I searched, I dug deep, then I dug deeper. I spent over 27 years devoting myself to a path of healing myself…and I’m still going.
I have had a lot of teachers along the way, and each offered me unique gifts of wisdom.
But through it all, I had to be the one to walk the path. To learn how to work with the information I was learning and actually use the tools when I needed them.
That’s where knowledge becomes wisdom.
For the most powerful teachers guide you back to yourself and activate your own agency and potency.
I was struggling to understand who I was and my deeper purpose in this life.
My health was in a precarious balance as I was sifting through the dis-ease that I inherited and began peeling back the thick layers of sediment from a painful childhood. Turns out, all the walls I had put up to protect myself ended up separating me from my ability to fully love myself.
And in my heart, despite all the challenges, I knew there was so much more that was meant for me than this profound confusion and pain.
Studying and practicing yoga, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, cooking, qi gong, martial arts, writing, poetry, photography, painting, creating art, dreamwork, reiki, plant medicine, ceremonial practices, spiritual traditions, singing, chanting, prayer, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Chinese orthopedic massage, bodywork, Thai massage, craniosacral therapy, herbalism, integrative holistic medicine, scientific research, self-care, and self-love.
Losing loved ones along the way to addiction and illness,
yearning and diligently cultivating the partnership I always dreamed of,
becoming a mother and reparenting myself in the process,
and being devoted to living life with an open loving heart,
have been some of my most relentless teachers.
I had to pain-stakingly learn and piece together all of the practices, awareness, and modalities that held the keys to unlock my suffering over decades.
My personal healing journey laid the foundation for me to become a healer.
It has developed my empathy and compassion.
It continually stokes my fires of discipline and perseverance. And it keeps me focused on my path because I know what is at stake.
"Shanti’s a healer who meets me right where I am at any moment with just the right practice."
“I never knew what ‘holding space’ was - let alone what a transformational gift it could be - until I met Shanti. In a time of deep darkness, she stood witness. When I questioned if I would really change, she believed I would. And as I experienced things I didn’t understand, she took my hand and guided me through. Shanti’s a healer who meets me right where I am at any moment with just the right practice. Be it prayer, meditation, movement, energetics, acupuncture, touch, sound, she senses what’s needed, teaches the way, and shows up with her whole heart in every step.”
Amy S., Mentorship Participant
For over a decade I’ve seen the same pattern: people who commit to collaborating in working with me and who show up for themselves consistently by doing self-care and following my recommendations see results.
For some people coming in for 1 hour of treatment once a week or twice a month is exactly what is needed to resolve pain, improve digestion, get better sleep, release stress and get back on track to feel better in their body, mind and emotions.
For others, that approach isn’t enough to significantly and sustainably change physical, physiological, and mental-emotional patterns and behaviors that may be years, sometimes decades, in the making.
You might be suddenly propelled into a healing crisis and desperately need a period of intensive support from someone who can help you navigate what you’re going through with more grace, ease, and insight.
Or you might just feel a deep calling to and can help you activate your own inner healer.
You may feel results during a session and right after a session, but the results might be fleeting.
Do not mistake “what you’re doing not working” with deep seated, complex patterns that require sustained effort to change.
I began offering 1-on-1 healing mentorship in 2023 because a past patient of mine reached out to me needing very concentrated support.
I have only mentioned it to people who I have felt could really use this kind of support.
Now, I am opening up mentorship publicly, because I know what is at stake and how having me in your corner in the right moment can change your life.
What I have seen time and time again in doing healing work with over 1,000 people over the past 10 years is that those who are committed to getting to the root of what causes them pain, discomfort, and anguish, will find answers, will consistently feel better and will work through deeper layers of dissonance.
The irony is that many times it is more about HOW and WHY you are on the healing path than being relentless in your pursuit of perfect health. (say more about this)
Many times it is about softening, being more tender and curious with yourself, than endless pushing, striving, demanding or trying to force things to happen.
This is for you if…
🟢 You are ready and willing to devote time, energy, and resources for your growth & evolution
🟢 You thrive more when you have more support (um, who doesn’t?!)
🟢 The person you are becoming is in stark contrast to who you have been and what you have been doing
🟢 You embrace healing as a way of life, not just another “weekend workshop”
🟢 You are ready to activate your deeper abilities to help others heal and you need guidance and support as a healer
🟢 You are a medical professional or already an established healer or space holder (this includes mothers, fathers, empathetic humans) and you need help finding how to create a more sustainable existence where you feel more radiant, vibrant, healthy, and capable of fully offering your gifts and presence to the world without your health feeling like an insurmountable obstacle
This is NOT for you if…
🚫 You are comfortable where you are and don’t want to do anything different
🚫 You would rather figure things out on your own (more power to you!)
🚫 You want different results but you refuse to do the work to get there
🚫 You say things like “I did some healing years ago, so I’m good now.”

"Neglected pieces of myself have been uncovered and tended to, and my life has unfolded in the most beautiful of ways."
“Working with Shanti has been an extraordinary gift to myself, and she has been a true partner every step of the way on my healing and spiritual path. She listens and attunes deeply to understand where I'm at and how she can best support me. Together we co-create each session to align with that, choosing the modality that feels just right for our time together at that moment. Our sessions are potent, and I leave each one nourished and resourced and bubbling with new ideas. Shanti is an incredibly gifted healer and mentor, balancing being kind hearted, open and compassionate with humor, joy and play. She is highly intuitive and precise and truly nothing short of magic. In the time we've worked together, neglected pieces of myself have been uncovered and tended to, and my life has unfolded in the most beautiful of ways."
- Kristine
People who work with me and are committed to collaboratively working together:
+ Are more consistently more kind to themselves, even when they get frazzled or frustrated
+ Get less ensnared in negative mental loops
+ Are amazed when they look back on their progress 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 1+ years down the road
+ Are more willing to take risks and try new things because they are supported every step of the way
+ Deeply value my support and become long-term patients (they see results and they choose to keep working with me because of how much better they feel)
Past mentees have worked with me on:
+ Radical self-love and self-acceptance
+ Becoming more open and receptive
+ Developing more resiliency, discernment, and boundaries as an empath
+ Nurturing intuition and self trust
+ Reconnecting to a deeper sense of self
+ Cultivating joy and feeling worthy of more joy and love
+ Being fully expressed and more in touch with one’s own sensations and emotions
+ Navigating challenging emotions without shutting down, dissociating, or freezing up
+ Trusting one’s own heart
+ Learning energetic practices for self-healing
+ Fostering more discipline without shame or guilt (with loving kindness)
+ Awakening and enlivening spiritual connection
+ Having accountability and support to work through long standing self-sabotaging habits
+ Reassurance and guidance through gritty, raw parts of the healing process
+ Health crises that show up in the middle of relationship breakdowns
+ Following the thread of current triggering events to heal deeper foundational wounds
Why I love mentoring SOOOOO much:
+ It allows me to draw on over 27 years of my own healing practices and study to meet you exactly where you are in the moment
+ When people are more committed to an extended process, deeper healing and insight naturally arises because we know (and most importantly your higher knowing) recognizes that we have more time and space to unpack deeper layers for being witnessed, awakened, and healed. This builds deeper trust and more profound results because of making a longer commitment and holding more continuous focused effort.
+ We can do more together. I see many of us moving away from a hyper-individualist way of being in the world to more collaboration. When we have more support and let go of the illusion that we have to suffer and suffer alone to build the resolve to accomplish our goals and dreams, we are able to go deeper into challenging situations or sensations with more courage because we can draw on the resources and resiliency of others. We can look at parts of ourselves with more clarity and compassion, borrowing and bridging off of the loving kindness of other people who can see us for who we are - beyond the mess, underneath the fear, deep down to our gifts and essence and potential…people who may have more experience in areas where we are navigating new territory.
+ We all have blind spots. Things we can’t see or know about our self. That when it is pointed out by someone we trust who is invested in our growth and healing those observations and insight land differently. Because we are less guarded, more trusting, more invested in getting to the heart of it all, too.
+ I am exceptionally passionate about creating spaces of shared power. This means that I will encourage you to tune into and listen to your own inner knowing and my goal is to share in ways that empower. I want you to walk away from our time together feeling like you have a better sense of who you are and what you are here to do. Everything I offer is an option on the buffet table. I will follow you in the direction of where your appetite is. And I will share openly and be direct sharing what I know and my experience when I think it might be helpful. I am not the “expert” on you and what you need. So we will explore together an ongoing inquiry into what challenges and delights you, as you attune to and cultivate your inner wisdom.

"Shanti meets you where you are, and with deep knowledge and intuition, guides you toward your truest path"
“In a time of intense darkness and fear around the unknown, Shanti taught me tools and provided holistic support, so that I could see the light and feel comfort in complete surrender.
I still employ the physical and spiritual practices she shared with me. They built the foundation on which I’ve grown and expanded in alignment with my authentic self.
Shanti meets you where you are, and with deep knowledge and intuition, guides you toward your truest path. You’ll be the one to walk it! But she empowers you to take unwavering steps forward."
- Amy Smith
This mentorship is for you if…
+ Especially when people are going through a dissolution process -
The world and identify that they knew is burning to the ground
(the veils are thinning or pulled back completely)
+ The person they are becoming is unsure of how to get from who they used to be through the transition point where they are now, but they know it’s going to be a long stretch of unlearning and re-learning
(metamorphosis…catepillar, goo stage, and emerging with new powers and insight)
+ A sudden event propels you into a deep and complete reassessment of who you are, how you operate in the world, your relationships (especially your relationship to yourself) (un-grounding - the earth beneath you breaks open)
+ Health is breaking down or gets to a tipping point of not being able to cope or scrape by anymore and you need more intensive support for a concentrated period of time
(tipping point - catharsis)

Using the full range of my gifts and experience.
"I have wanted to explore healing practices and my core nature as an empathetic being my whole life but I never really knew where to start. Honestly, you are the first person that has made me want to say yes and explore this.”
