"Shina has an extraordinary capacity to stand present; to meet you in the depth of your being and share her potent and precise wisdom. To be seen, mirrored and understood at such a profound level is life-changing. She has a capacity to bring awareness into the ‘heart of the matter’ ”.

- Astrid S. LCSW

“I know Shina from our work together facilitating and holding space for individuals working with plant medicines in the Peruvian Amazon. Shina has also held space for me from time to time. She naturally approaches her work with strength, grace, and compassion. Her presence allows the creation of space in which one can focus, see impediments clearly, and work to eliminate or pass beyond them.”

Shea M. J.D., Esq.

“Shina has been an anchor in my healing journey for the past two years. The process has not been linear and has spanned a wide variety of topics and personal events. In every session I have felt deeply heard, seen and loved. I love her ability to put meaning, and words, to my experiences tha help to expand my understanding of self and my place in this physical experience. Highly recommend you journey with Shina.”

Kira J. Postpartum Doula

“I’ve had the immense pleasure and privilege of co-facilitating a somatic writing workshop over many years with Shina. She has that rare combination of leading with a gentle hand and also pushing people to become their best selves. She leads a process of creativity, self discovery and liberation. I trust Shina to be able to meet clients in both a delicate birthing and also an extraordinary, wild and powerful healing.”
