Hi, I'm Shawna!

MEDITATION & BREATHWORK TEACHER, SPIRITUAL MENTOR & TEACHER OF INNER WORK. FORMER MENTAL HEALTH NURSE (RN)

My greatest passion is teaching others how to use the mind to transform their reality, cultivate greater inner peace and happiness, and create a life that aligns with their highest self and soul.

This passion was ignited from my own personal history.  In my teens and early twenties, I struggled with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I was also pursuing a path that didn’t fully align with my soul, leaving me feeling unfulfilled and stressed. Realizing life wasn’t meant to be lived in stress & sadness, I decided to take responsibility for my mental and emotional well-being and I began seeking.

This decision marked the start of my transformation. Introduced to mindfulness and meditation, I committed to an 8-week meditation program that changed my life. I became a certified meditation teacher, spending the next 10 years exploring various healing modalities and focusing on mental and spiritual growth. In 2018, a family tragedy deepened my commitment to inner work and deepened my spiritual relationship, leading me to apply my practices to healing grief and I uncovered additional practices for healing and transformation including manifestation, breathwork and inner child work.

As I applied these practices, even more profound shifts unfolded. I healed from grief and loss, and by committing to my inner work, I transformed my outer reality as well—transitioning from nursing to full-time entrepreneurship, building a six-figure business by 2021, and a million-dollar brand by 2023. This allowed me to witness that these practices aren’t just effective for emotional healing but also for creating a more soul-aligned, abundant and empowered life as well. 

Welcome to RISE, an 8-week course with the most effective skills and practices from my journey, designed to help you achieve greater healing, inner peace, empowerment, and abundance. Whether you seek healing, greater emotion regulation and inner peace, a deeper relationship to yourself or Spirit, greater abundance and a shift in your external reality, or to gain clarity on your soul’s truths, RISE can guide you there. Join me for a transformative experience on learning how to use your mind to create a more fulfilled and empowered life.

A Peek Inside the Course...

What's Inside the Modules?

This opening week is an introduction to the healing and growth journey – understanding the energetic process of healing, growth and raising consciousness. We also explore causes of stress, mood struggles and disharmony in the mind (from a Western perspective vs. Eastern spiritual perspective). You’ll learn what your Highest Self is and how we align ourselves onto this path. You’ll also learn what it means to form a relationship with Spirit, how this can assist your healing and growth, and you’ll learn the most powerful daily routine I’ve been doing for the last 6+ years that has transformed my reality and stepped me into my most empowered self. We start the program off strong and get into the most powerful practices right away!

In Module Two you’ll learn how I shifted my own life path through the practice of manifestation & co-creation. You’ll learn the theory of manifestation & co-creation: how it works, the science behind it + how we can use it for healing, growth and transformation. You’ll take time getting clear on what your Highest Self truly desires through journaling & reflection. You’ll then learn my exact daily manifestation practice that I’ve used for 5+ years and learn easy manifestation routines you can practice in under 5 minutes that will transform your life. To close, we cover the 4 reasons why co-creation might not be working for you. Laid out practices for the week + Included Guided MP3 Meditations: Law-of-Attraction Guided Meditation, LOVE & Manifestation Guided Meditation, Becoming a Magnet for Abundance Guided Meditation

In module three you’ll learn how our wounded self affects our alignment with our Highest Self and affects our ability to experience peace, love and fulfillment within. You’ll learn how past wounds have affected your psyche and how they affect your current thoughts, emotions & behaviours – (they’re showing up and affecting our lives WAY more than we think). You’ll learn how to identify when wounded aspects of yourself are taking over your system, learn the belief systems they are stuck in and learn how to heal these parts of ourselves and shift into healthier and more empowered belief systems.  Laid out practices for the week for Uncovering & Healing the Inner Child + MP3 Guided Meditations: Healing the Inner Child Guided Meditation

Module four is all about working with challenging emotions. You’ll learn the root meaning of different challenging emotions, and how to effectively work with states like anger, sadness, anxiety, frustration, fear, worry & doubt (instead of ignoring them, having them rule your mind or instead of lashing out). You’ll learn how suppressed emotions (deeper emotions you’re not addressing) affect your mind, body, soul, and your behaviours and you’ll learn the powerful emotion release practice of EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help release and transform emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, frustration, grief, loneliness, low self-esteem & more. Laid out practices for the week + Included EFT Tapping Videos for Working With Challenging Emotions.

In Module Five, you’ll explore shadow work and how to integrate, heal, and transform the hidden parts of yourself that may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and actions. You’ll learn what shadow work is and what it means to truly embrace and integrate your shadow. The key to healing and transformation is not to “get rid” of the ego or the darker parts of ourselves, it’s to uncover them, feel and express them, and integrate them with unconditional love. In this module you’ll learn my most powerful and effective practice for shadow work. With this practice you can experience immediate shifts in how you feel and shift the relationship you have with yourself and your emotions. When you do this, watch how things SHIFT.

Module eight is all about strengthening the relationship you have with yourself. You’ll learn how so many internal and external conflicts, “stuck-ness” and frustration stem back to lack of self-love and the self-talk that occurs within your mind. You’ll learn how to shift this self-talk to an internal environment that supports you and aligns you to your most empowered self. You’ll also practice building greater self-love. We’ll close with learning how to integrate all of the work you’ve learned within the program and how to move forward with your inner journey. Laid out practices for exploring and shifting your self-talk, plus Self-Love MP3 Guided Meditations: Connecting to Love Guided Meditation + Worthiness & Self-Love Guided Meditation.

In module seven you’ll learn about limiting beliefs  and how they sit within our subconscious mind. You’ll explore how these subconscious limiting beliefs may be affecting your thoughts, emotions and behaviours and your ability to reach your goals & true desires. You’ll learn my process for transforming fear & limiting beliefs in a powerful way and how to create and program in new beliefs that SERVE and EMPOWER you, your desires & goals and your life. Laid out practices for the week + Guided MP3 Meditations: Transforming Limiting Beliefs Guided Meditation

In this module you’ll gain a better understanding of how to practice peace in your everyday life. You’ll learn how to begin working with the mind to de-condition it’s programming of stress and dis-ease and learn how to return to your natural state of peace. Laid out practices for the week + 3 Included MP3 Guided Meditations.
