Welcome – I’m Shawna and I’ve been a meditation teacher and teacher of inner work for the past 11 years. The work is deeply sacred for me and has been the foundation for creating healing and shifts within my own life.

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—and I began to worry about the kind of future I’d have if they did. At 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 was my first doorway, introducing me to spirituality—a concept that was completely new to me. Coming from a medical and science-based background in nursing, and having no prior connection to religion or spiritual teachings, this path felt unfamiliar—but deeply resonated. Over time, I discovered the profound healing power of working with the mind and cultivating a relationship with Spirit, Source, the Universe—whatever name you choose—and of practicing tools that connect us to this energy.

Alongside spirituality, I explored and trained in therapeutic modalities that became essential to my healing journey, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), inner child work, EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), breathwork, and the study of limiting beliefs. 

In 2018, I lost my brother to an accidental drug overdose. Grief and loss took me again onto a deep healing and spiritual journey, as I learned to apply these skills to a new experience of darkness. Once again, they helped me heal, find peace, and regain strength, clarity and personal power through a challenging phase of my life. This is why these practices are so sacred and close to my heart-they are what have provided light and relief in such challenging times and paved the way to healing and coming out to a more empowered and expansive place.  

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—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.
