Testimonials

 I recently had a session with Shawna. I was touched by how much of her heart and soul went into my session. I was immediately carried away by the strength of her hands. I melted in no time, and would recommend her to anyone.

 I wanted to thank you again for teaching me that method to discern whether it is my mind speaking or my soul. Not only do I feel less crazy because I understand the reason why I have conflicting voices inside of me, but I'm also now able to understand "who" is speaking, which is extremely helpful in making decisions in everyday life. I've been trying to do that same meditation we did on my own and while it's not as intense as when I did it with you, it still led me to major understandings of things going on inside of me. I have to admit that when I booked your session, I was just believing that I can't speak to my guides so maybe you'd have been able to speak to them on my behalf because of your near death experience and kind of just report some directions for me to follow. However, I'm even more grateful that instead of just doing that, making me forever dependent on another person to "get guidance" on my behalf, you have taught me how to get it for myself.

Thank you again for your help, you really have no idea how much your method has made me feel "unstuck" from the idea that I have no guidance. I wish you would write a book or some videos online so I could suggest it to my friends who are also stuck like me but they don't believe so much in this kind of thing that they would actually schedule an appointment with you.

A few weeks ago I had a Body Therapy session with Shawna. I really wanted to see her in person to experience what she offers and since I live relatively near by, it was easy to do so.

I am so happy that I did. Her healing touch, wise words and insightful intuitions all came together and left me feeling a bliss and healing I have not experienced previously.  I have been to many alternative healers, yet none have left me feeling the way Shawna did. We all have emotional issues to deal with and if you have no physical ailments, well great. I, however, had some things I have been dealing with, a compressed vagus nerve bringing me a lot of issues to name one. In one session Shawna assisted me in feeling so much better.

I will return to Shawna because it takes more than one session to clear away decades of gunk, either spiritually or emotionally that cause imbalances in our system. If you can see her in person, her light massage releases so much along with her spiritual wisdom and connection to a higher power.  I know that an online session will have the same affect, since energy is energy and can be accessed even through the internet.

Thank you so much Shawna for the healing.

My healing session with Shawna Ristic was awesome! She is so intuitive and picked up on several truths to help guide me. I am so grateful that I met her. She has such a bright light and is in tune with divine guidance. I will definitely tell my friends and family about her and go back to her when needed. I received so much clarity in my session. It is obvious that she cares deeply about others and emanates love! Thank you Shawna! 



-Jen Suliafu   Intuitive Session on Zoom

Shawna truly carries within her, shamanic energy. The bodywork she did on me had a tremendous psychological and physical effect. I could feel all the energetically blocked parts in my body opening up and circulating fully as Shawna worked through my entire body. She is deeply nurturing, extremely grounded, and profoundly caring. With just one session you will experience a radical shift in your mind, body, and spirit. Shawna is undeniably gifted, and she uses her gifts to heal, elevate, and hold her clients with deep reverence. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to be transformed. 

-Somya Thakker   Body Therapy & Massage Session

Things have shifted for me so much in the last month. I feel like Shawna has sensed very well what I was/am going through, and the confirmation of moving towards the witness state is a blessing. I am not forgetful anymore of being present. So that is great.

I feel like the pain has been dealt with, and now I can reap the benefits of this period. Thank you Shawna for the consult and the connection with the guides and loving beings. It feels like I am carried.

More time will be spent on feeling that basic barometer of expansion or contraction. Thanks for breaking it down into simplicity.
 

-Roderick Lodewijks  Intuitive Healing Session on Zoom

I am so glad to have met Shawna and taken part in her amazing workshops. I use the skills she taught me about soul retrieval during my morning meditation. As a result, nightmares about my childhood home went away. In the past, I had no idea parts of myself were left energetically at different locations. I had experienced a great deal of anxiety and depression in my childhood as I experienced a huge emotional upheaval upon moving to a new state, my father retiring from military life, and my beloved grandmother who lived with me my entire life was growing older and would eventually pass away in this home. It was difficult to live without her as she felt like a mother figure to me. I believe some part of me was searching for her there and I needed to know I could call back the parts of myself I had left behind. Consciously, I knew her spirit was no longer there and would be with me everywhere I go but some part of my subconscious seemed to still be drawn to that location. 

A recurring dream of my childhood home’s basement laundry room (where my grandmother would fold massive piles of laundry) would be the setting of several weird dreams. There would be times when the freezer was filled with gross expired food (something that happened in real life), or I looked out the window to the backyard and felt creepy and unsafe. As I learned how to call back parts of myself left behind energetically, I could see a shift in my dreams. Later on, I dreamed the basement laundry room was completely renovated into a cute shop and it felt very bright and cheerful. That was the last time I dreamed of my childhood home.

I have been meditating regularly as a result of that first session Shawna and I had together where I learned how to do body scan meditation. I was amazed by how it felt to acknowledge what my body was trying to communicate and just being in that feeling with empathy for myself. It was cathartic and healing to feel the contraction release. I joyfully recommend Shawna's gifts of teaching and healing with anyone seeking personal empowerment and peace.

I am so grateful to Shawna and her council for my personal spiritual development.

-Crystal F, Workshop Participant and Distance Session on Zoom

I strongly recommend Shawna Ristic's services. I am forever grateful for her insight, perspective and just listening to me without judgement but with love and acceptance. Her remarkable intuition is beyond anyone I have ever me. She has shown me my past childhood traumas and faults were my way of handling different events in my life. 

Another great bonus Shawna does that other therapist don't is she records the session and send you two copies one video and one just audio. It has helped me sort through my thoughts an extra value that others don't include. 

If you are feeling stuck in life Shawna has insight to help you where you are in life and get you back on track.

I hope to be a lifelong client or patient of hers!



-Darrin Huhn, Monthly Intuitive Healing Session on Zoom, 

Hi Shawna,

It was a such a pleasure meeting you yesterday. I cannot express how much relief and gratitude I am feeling after our work. I have worked with therapists for years and got so much validation and hope from our 1 1/2 hours than I ever got in 15 years of therapy. Thank you so much for your kindness and the work you do!!! 

-Jennifer Eckhardt,  Intuitive Healing Session on Zoom Mar 9, 2022

What a loving, beautiful, giving lady you are, Shawna. Thank you for talking with me this evening & emphasizing to me the importance of making decisions more on my feelings instead of always analyzing things. 

Intuitive Healing Session client feedback Mar 14, 2022

My first session with Shawna and I didn't know what to expect. In fact, I came into the session without a hard agenda, but rather with the intention to enjoy the time with her. Whatever may come to me, I would be grateful. She was good at sensing my energy, feeling a hard outer shell and a soft inner core. She taught me how to feel body sensations to understand myself better instead of keeping it all up in my mind. When it went overtime, she was still very patient and didn't feel pressed to close the conversation like a business. Much appreciated. Now the big challenge is to integrate my lesson into daily life. Thank you for Shawna's service.

- Jay LIn, Intuitive Healing Session

Very comfortable exchange.  Thank you for what you do.

Intuitive Healing Session client feedback Nov 16, 2021

"I had been to Shawna in 2017 for a massage and relief of my shoulder. But by the end of the massage she had been able to connect my right side energy with the left side. It just felt wonderful and a produced a magical feeling . I had a heart valve replaced in 2011 and I had not been able to merge the energies, to feel connected and whole. She began by working on my shoulder as it would very often drop on the right and then the connection of the two sides happened. I just love her energy, her magical hands and wonderful heart.

I am a living example of her healing abilities. She also helped me cure my severe case of shingles on my right hand and shoulder that appeared November 2017 and lasted till March 2018.It was her intuitive, soulful method and her soulful intentions to work with one’s body with utmost love that I is curing me. I still cannot fold my hands behind my back, but I can bend my elbow and raise my arm thanks to Shawna.

With me, she works mostly on flushing the lymph nodes and calming the nervous system. For me, she has given me a new way to look at life and aliments. I highly recommend Shawna to anyone who needs healing and calming nervous system."

"Shawna assisted my father and I when we were hoping to help and communicate with my mother who was dying from a debilitating, degenerative brain disease. I didn't know what to expect, but felt that surely Shawna could assist in some way. What took place, however, was far beyond my and my father's expectations. Miraculously, it seemed clear that Shawna was somehow able to communicate with my mother, who was deep in the fog of dementia and had extreme difficulty in communicating. During the sessions, my mom became responsive and interactive with Shawna as well as with my father and me. Each session with Shawna was truly a great blessing and a beautiful gift for all of us. Looking back now after my mom made her transition nearly six months later, I feel certain that the sessions with Shawna helped my mother know how to peacefully and lovingly prepare to make her inevitable and upcoming transition from this world to the next, and it helped my father and I feel a sense of peace that we were not only tending to all of my mom's needs in the best way we could, but we were also able to communicate with her in a way that felt acknowledged and received from both sides. Shawna is a very gifted intuitive and healer. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I am forever grateful to her for the work she did with us. "

"SHAWNA SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!!!

Well sort of, let me explain. Life changes quickly and slowly all at the same time.Confused? We were too. In less than three hours Shawna was able to unlock, clearly explain and provide a plan for exactly what we wanted and needed to have happen.

We decided we needed to be closer to family. This would require a move and possibly a job change. While looking at jobs in our desired area we found what we were looking for and went for it. This happened quickly and now we needed to sell our house. Our realtor assured us this would be a quick sale with no issues at all. My job started, I moved while my family stayed behind. Eight months later I was still living 600 miles away from my family. We were doing everything we could do to sell our house, we were stuck.

It is difficult to explain how Shawna is able to channel and take on your energy, however the results are easily seen. During our sessions, Shawna was not only able to work on our energy, but able to work on the energy of our potential buyer and issues they were going through - this was simply amazing. Within days of our session, our offer came though and we were "released" from our house and ready to move on. In reading and feeling our energy, Shawna gave us a clear plan of things we needed to work on. This was an enlightening experience and opened our eyes to this powerful and now proven energy work.

I truly believe that without Shawna's guidance and support we would still be in the same position. We feel blessed and honored to have Shawna in our lives. She calmly guided us through a difficult time and unlocked the tools we had inside ourselves to get us exactly where we needed to be. Thank you Shawna."

- Chris and Alyssa Vaughan, Intuitive Healing Session

"Shawna is a highly skilled bodyworker, much more than a massage therapist, physical therapist or chiropractor. I had a stroke in March 2015 and she is a key part of my recovery. She focuses on my nerve pathways and lymph system. I can feel and see the difference after every session. We are very fortunate that she decided to relocate to Santa Cruz. Highly recommended for recovery from any kind of trauma and for chronic pain."

- MM

"I have been going to Shawna for many years now and I highly recommend her! I started going to her for massage therapy following a serious car accident and after just the first visit had more range of motion and a lot less pain. I loved going to her so much that I visited her during my pregnancy which helped with back pain, sciatica, and overall relaxation. I trusted her so much that I brought my baby in several times for infant massage, which I also highly recommend! I have joked for a long time now that I not only go to her for massage therapy but also emotional therapy. She is wonderful and by far the best massage therapist I have ever been to!!!"

- KA

"As a client of Shawna's for over 10 years, I was devastated when she chose to move her practice to CA, however, we have maintained a healing connection via phone sessions. Shawna's work, whether it be hands-on or purely energetic, is as informed as it is empathic. She is a rare mix of skilled professional and free intuitive."
