About Shiva | Without awareness, there is no choice.

Some of my greatest experiences are witnessing a shift in one’s consciousness, no matter how subtle. Observing the eyes of another light up with the sudden recognition that we are not bound by our beliefs or our past, that another perspective is not only available, but has the power to liberate the conditioning that causes dis-ease born of misperception. This isn’t about trading one belief for a better one. This is about pausing, right here, listening to the body and taking an honest look into what is happening within us. What is actually true?

Who are you without the stories you tell yourself? What does it feel like in the body when we are not honest with ourselves or others? What happens to fear or depression when we consciously feel it, in the body, and inquire into the beliefs that sustain them? What happens when we give attention to the suppressed and denied emotions that have been long held in the fascia?

This is why I do this work. Truth is the only game in town.

My desire is to fully embody and embrace this human experience with heart-centered devotion, humility, and integrity. To be of service in the healing and liberation of all who seek, working to release the physical and energetic restrictions, creating space that allows one to return to their natural state and feel whole again. To be a safe environment where confusion can settle and one’s own clarity can arise. Where one might awaken and realize for themselves the unbelievable truth of Christ’s words,

“The kingdom of God cometh not with observation… for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kittens, silence, and long walks on the beach.

Client Experiences

  • “When we finished, I immediately felt like I lost 25 lbs of dead stagnant energy out of my body.”

  • “I am a Christian and he was very respectful of my faith and experiences. His Reiki work with me was very gentle and in line with what I needed…I highly recommend him as the real deal.”

  • “I am very selective with who I trust for my own bodywork…Shane is professional yet makes you feel so at ease. I am still processing the profound healing I went through.”

  • “Shiva embodies loving presence. One session with him released decades of trapped energy and removed all trace of back and hip pain.”

  • “Shane was key to my healing and the return of mobility. Shane has an innate ability to find the points on your body that need work without your direction.”

  • “I'd never encountered anything like this type of bodywork before, and it was truly transformative…after just one session, my pain subsided and I felt a profound release of years of pent-up energy.”

  • “what happened in the first session and every session since has been nothing but transformational healing from childhood wounds and traumas…”

  • “This was a new experience for me. It was like a counseling session for my body…when I left I was less stressed and felt mentally free.”
