TESTIMONIALS
I have been working with Shane for close to two years and have seen a remarkable transformation in myself -- greater self-acceptance, a stronger, healthier body, more openness and connection to my own inner wisdom. He has helped me connect all aspects of my being to each other, and probably the biggest piece of that for me has been an increased awareness of and respect for my body, not just from the standpoint of fitness and nutrition, but energetically and emotionally. As a healer, Shane brings a combination of innate gifts and extensive training, which, when combined with the more tangible aspects of western and eastern approaches, provide an integrative approach to healing.

“I began working with Shane in November 2019 and have worked with him consistently since. I had been working in his realm of healing but in group settings and I was called to work with a guide for some solo personal work. Shane came highly recommended by a friend who is studying to become a guide themselves. Shane has a level of expertise and brilliance that is beyond what the average guide can offer – spirit runs through him, he sees and feels what others don’t have the senses for.
His diverse background helps him to provide just the right guidance, in the right way, at the right time. There have been so many times when I have needed “something”, not knowing what that was and Shane had the perfect “gift” for me in that moment to continue – whether it be a spirit guide, spirit animal, flower essence, chosen words, music, a crystal, a goddess or some other essential offering . . . Shane has something “in his carpet bag of magic” for every moment.
Time and time again, I am impressed with what he has to share with me and other dear friends that he also guides. I can’t imagine doing this deep healing work with anyone else – mind, body, spirit and emotional alignment. My healing, learning and growing has by far exceeded where I would have imagined I would be. Life with Shane in it is just that much more beautiful – he guides me to come back home to a more grounded, open, aware, present, powerful and conscious me.
There are so many good things to say about Shane and to sum it up, I would say that Shane is Pure Magic.”

I found Shane a year and a half ago when I was experiencing profound loss and grief. Shane's holistic approach helped me change unhelpful behaviours and patterns, titrate off three psych meds, and showed me a path forward into healing and growth. Shane's intuitive sense of what has been needed at different points in my journey has been deeply insightful, offered with gentle care and concern. I find myself more grounded, confident and at ease than I would have thought possible in the time since I started working with him. He is a gifted healer and I am grateful to have found my way to him and the healing community he has created.

Shane’s group medicine journeys are truly incredible. The whole weekend retreat is a ceremony. We begin by calling in our guides and allies, and sharing our journey intentions with the group. Throughout the retreat, Shane leads solo and shared exercises designed to help us explore our edges, deepen our journeys, and create camaraderie between the journeyers. My experience was that these exercises directly and positively impacted what I experienced in my journeys. We also close the retreat with reflections and ceremony.
The medicine journeys themselves to be so powerful and transformational for me. One reason for this is that there‘s a shared energetic field between all of the journeyers and guides that helps us do big work, individually and collectively. Another factor is that, as someone who frequently does one-on-one guided journeys, it’s a great experience to do a self-guided journey in a safe space, and be able to have different experiences and growth than I would have with a one-on-one journey. Lastly, Shane and his guides hold a strong and protective container for our transformation, so we can focus on the work at hand.
Shane's retreats are held in beautiful, natural settings that support our journey work. And the food that’s served is delicious, and designed to help the body and soul move through transformation.
Another important aspect of these retreats is that they attract high-caliber participants who are ready to go deep, even when it’s scary. I love being in the presence of other brave souls when I’m moving through something that might be frightening - we support each other. And exploring one’s psyche, emotions and energy so deeply in the presence of others creates a lot of intimacy. After having gone to four of Shane’s retreats, many of my best and deepest friendships are actually with people from the retreats.
If you're ready for transformation, and want a high-level experience, I can’t recommend Shane’s retreats enough.

I began working consistently with Shane two years ago after he was recommended to me by the author of Consciousness Medicine, whom I greatly respect and admire. In our intensive work together I have developed unreserved appreciation for his intuitive healing methods which are grounded firmly in his lineage and teachers. His extensive training in bodywork, nutrition, somatics and tantra, along with his wealth of experience with plant medicine in many forms, also contribute to and inform his natural gifts.
In Shane I have found a trustworthy, compassionate and nurturing teacher and a safe container for the healing that comes from the Divine in Her many forms. Working with him both individually and in group journeys has been a powerful catalyst for clearing and putting down the weight of old patterns related to personal, cultural and religious trauma. This has made space for healing energy that is creating exciting and expansive new pathways within and without.
Our work has also provided a precious connection to something our world is desperately in need of: community! Learning from and being supported by other seekers with his direction is a rare privilege and a potent catalyst for the expansion of consciousness. Shane has a gift for bringing people together of like hearts and shared values around healing, integration and transformation.
My mind and heart tell me that this is part of a New Earth, a new paradigm in which the opposites can finally be held together. This work is bringing wholeness, clarity and hope to a world torn apart by separation, dissonance, strife and war, both within and without. I am beyond grateful for Shane’s wisdom, passion and integrity as we continue our work together.
