    Hi, I'm Shawna!

    MEDITATION TEACHER, SPIRITUAL MENTOR & FORMER MENTAL HEALTH NURSE (RN), AUTHOR OF THE LIGHT THAT SHINES THROUGH

    With a history of depression and anxiety, and a decade of experience as a mental health nurse as well, much of my life has revolved around mental health and navigating darkness (within myself and helping others with this as well). In my teens and early twenties, I struggled with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a deep sense of unworthiness. I often found myself stuck in relationships, environments, and mental patterns that didn’t serve me and kept me feeling small. Deep down, I knew my mind and emotions were caught in negative loops, telling stories that weren’t true and keeping me disconnected from my highest, most empowered, and aligned path.

    At 22, I felt a powerful inner nudge. I felt that the darkness and negativity consuming me weren’t who I truly was. I no longer wanted those patterns running my life. I also began to worry about the kind of future I’d have if they did. Around the same time, a thought emerged: if the suffering was rooted in the mind, maybe the healing could begin there too. That moment cracked the door open to a deeply transformative journey.

    Over the next 14 years, I immersed myself in healing. Meditation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) were my first doorways to healing. Meditation opened me to the world of spirituality and I began experiencing a peace of mind like I had not before. I also began accessing my intuition more clearly and CBT helped me work with my thoughts and underlying belief systems.

    I was so passionate about the shifts that in 2014, I became certified in and began teaching meditation, doing this alongside nursing for the next 4 years.

    In 2018, I lost my brother to an accidental drug overdose. Grief and loss took me onto another deep healing and spiritual journey. I began reaching out to a higher power for healing and for help and when I did this, synchronistic events began to occur. New teachers and modalities entered by life such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Inner Child Work, as well as Breathwork. These modalities helped me heal, find peace, and regain strength and personal power through a challenging phase of my life, and once again, I was astounded by the power of the mind and power of connecting to Source. This made me curious about using the mind’s power within other areas of my life…

    In late 2018, I began studying and applying law-of-attraction and manifestation to the area of purpose, finances & career. When I did this, my life began shifting at a very rapid pace. My business began to thrive, I was able to leave my nursing job, and I stepped into greater abundance and prosperity, growing a 7-figure business from the ground-up.

    I experienced very clearly: what we focus on within our mind, has a direct effect on our external world.

    The work I now teach is a fusion of psychology and spirituality (a psychospiritual approach), designed to create deep healing and transformation. It brings together the most effective practices, concepts, and tools I’ve found for emotional healing, personal empowerment, creating greater inner peace within, and tuning into your inner truth, so you can live a life that is more in alignment with your soul.

    I’ve long been fascinated by the grip that negative thoughts, painful emotions, and limiting beliefs can have on our lives. I’ve witnessed the impact of darkness, and how it keeps us small, disconnected, and far from our potential. But I’ve also seen the power of healing and working with the mind. It’s now my mission to help others learn how to navigate their inner world, how to work with the darkness instead of against it, and how to use both the mind and spirituality to create greater peace, clarity, empowerment and a life of deep alignment.

    In this class you’ll learn how to use the mind to heal, reclaim your inner peace and power, step into greater love, joy, abundance and expansion, and live from your soul’s highest expression.
