Hello, I'm Shana...
A Hand to Hold on the Journey HomeHelping you channel your own full, inner, beautiful potential with a variety of methods.
Healing health therapies all start with the exhale.
…the “Ahh” Moment…
I’m Shana. I’m a healer and a modern mystic, though it’s less mysterious than it sounds. To me, it’s really about paying attention. Day to day, that means showing up, tuning in, and helping others feel like themselves again. I don’t live on a mountaintop. I fold laundry, sit in traffic, and comfort crying kids, just like you might. I have a deep connection to Source and a way of sensing what’s beneath the surface—both shaped by lessons learned the hard way. I’ve been through my own fire and come out the other side, turning some of my toughest chapters into a kind of inner gold.
These days I help people heal through Reiki, hypnosis, tarot, yoga, bodywork, and sacred circles. Health and wellness have been woven through my whole life, and after seventeen years of this work, here’s what I know: healing starts with the exhale. It’s the moment your body finally remembers it’s safe. I call it the “Ahh” moment, and it’s where everything I do begins.
If the first spoonful of my story is the sweet part, here is the deeper flavor….
I came in sensitive. As a child I saw angels and felt everything, with no one to teach me what was mine and what wasn’t. At twenty, my intuition cracked wide open. Then life got loud. I built a life that looked right from the outside while I quietly hollowed out within. Even surrounded by food, nourishment, and well-being, I was overriding the truth my own body already knew.
In 2009, everything came apart at once: the business, the marriage, my health, my sense of self. I came home from New Zealand with less than $400, exhausted and depleted, my nervous system running on willpower. Years of protocols, supplements, and therapy helped, but none of it was enough on its own. The deepest parts of me needed more..
Yoga brought me back to my body. Meditation brought me back to my mind. Reiki brought me back to everything else. Rebuilding my health became my path back to my soul. I picked up my cards again, this time grounded and protected, and my intuition returned clearer than ever. I didn’t just survive those years. I alchemized them.
If Maybe You’re Here Because…
Maybe you feel things deeply, the way I always have. You walk into a room and absorb its moods, its unspoken tension, its quiet grief.
Maybe you’re simply tired, and you need some relief.
Maybe you’re curious, or standing at a crossroads, or you hear a soft voice whispering there is more than this….
Or maybe you just need a hand to hold on this journey. You don’t have to have it figured out. You are right where you need to be.

Together we’ll tend your body, mind, energy, and soul like a garden finding its way back into harmony, one living whole, returning to balance at its own rhythm.
A Little More About Me…
These days, I live with my family in the quiet seaside village of Northport, on Long Island’s North Shore. My connection to this place goes beyond its beautiful coastline. I feel a deep respect for the Indigenous peoples whose histories and living traditions are woven into this land. My own Celtic roots feed my love of nature, seasonal rituals, and the stories that link us to those who came before.
Most days, you’ll find me walking my Frenchie or gathering rocks, shells, and feathers by the bay. The water, the wind, and the small treasures left along the shore keep me grounded.
For those who love the cosmic details: I’m an Aquarius sun with a Cancer moon and Gemini rising. My numerology is an 8, which makes me feel infinite. I’m a 1/3 Generator in Human Design with Sacral Authority, so my body always knows its yes. I’m also an ambivert, equal parts social butterfly and quiet-corner soul.
I’m happiest with sweet (some say sappy) movies and a big bowl of popcorn. I love classic rock, indie pop, jazz, and rumba, and nothing beats a small, intimate live show. You’ll find me hiking, running, or holding hands with my husband. My family is my life, and a perfect day always ends the same way: a family meal and time around the table.

Come Home to Yourself
A small beginning, a breath, a moment of rest, a little room to listen, can open the door to something much bigger. Come sit in circle, book a session, or simply breathe with me. I’d be honored to walk beside you.
