How it Goes
We work with healing plants and engage practices of prayer, meditation, sound healing, gentle yoga, time in nature, energy clearings, journaling, and supportive dialogue to:
Connect with the true, essential self that is love
Recognize stories of suffering and create new neural pathways of wellbeing
Be with challenging emotions that arise and let them move through (it’s not about bypassing - it’s about being with what is)
...And we lighten the load with humor when warranted (I mean...all this healing work can get way too serious)
The container supports you to uncover the insights already within you.
What unfolds comes from a deep listening to what is most supportive for you in the present moment.
This work is not for everyone.
My Philosophy
We are not broken. There is nothing to fix.
We are inherently whole, deserving, and worthy because we exist.
We just might have been led to believe that something about us is wrong, we aren't enough, we don't deserve love...
And this has us lose touch with our hearts, with our true selves, our inner knowing...
And sometimes we need help calling ourselves back home. And this is beautiful.
And there are plants that help us do just this
Help clear away the layers of conditioning that make it hard to feel our hearts...
The conditioning that makes it hard to feel connected to the living earth beneath our feet or see the beauty in rays of sunlight
Plants that help remind us that we are not separate, that we human creatures belong here as part of the fabric of life
This work is about remembering our true nature - which is love
Testimonials
“Shaina held my experience in a powerful and beautiful space of deep intention, grounding, and love. In working with Shaina, I have opened to whole new and beautiful parts of my self that I hadn't known before -and I am eager to continue this work and practice. I am endlessly grateful for the guidance and space she holds with such abundant pure love.”

“I did just one journey with Shaina, and it completely shifted my work. Her ability to hold space and be in tune is profound - as is her respect for you as the ultimate shape shifter of your reality. If you are looking for a big shift in perspective and to be held with care and accountability, look no further.”

Why I Offer This
I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds in my early 20s when my path led me to live in an Ashram with intensive yoga, meditation, and chanting for 12 hours a day. It was revolutionary - I found my energy, my joy, I didn’t need medication!
Despite my dedication to practicing and teaching yoga, I continued in cycles of workaholic, burnout, and depression for 7 years - still trying to achieve some external standard of success.
When I began to work with plant medicine 8 years ago, a deeper healing began on the soul level. I was no longer running from my depression. I learned to accept and integrate all parts of myself and my gifts began to activate.
This healing path led me to study Shamanism and energy body work and apprentice ceremonial spaces. It led me to found a company of plant-based products for women’s cycles. And it inspired me to facilitate women’s workshops and ceremonies for 5 years. I deeply believe in the power of this work for lasting, soul-level healing when held with respect, integrity, and most importantly, loving kindness.
