Testimonials

“I have been a client of Shankari’s for nearly twenty years. Over the course of our work together, she has helped me to release physical and emotional ailments that I thought would plague me forever — as well as constantly delighting my imagination and opening my life to ever broader expressions of personal liberation. In doing so, she has changed the shape of my destiny. I have the highest regard for Shankari as a practitioner and spiritual guide. It has been said that nobody can lead you up a mountain that they themselves have not climbed; Shankari knows the mountain by heart, because she has been climbing it her whole life. And nothing brings her more joy than to help someone else in their ascent.

She is the guide who will teach you how to find your own guidance. She is the pathfinder who will help you to discover (through the exploration of your own body, imagination, and spirit) that your path has been clear all along.”

-Elizabeth Gilbert, Author of EAT PRAY LOVE, BIG MAGIC: CREATIVE LIVING BEYOND FEAR, and one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World

“Shankari is an incredibly gifted and intuitive guide! She has been assisting me in healing decades of stored trauma that had been difficult to release prior to working together. I have been on a healing journey for almost 30 years, and this is some of the deepest healing I have experienced. I wholeheartedly trust her as a guide and she is very skillful in her use of IFS. I have been recommending her to others who are seeking healing through IFS. Her capacity to hold space for deep trauma allowed me to feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences. She has incredible integrity, and holds a playful, attuned, compassionate and loving space for healing to occur. I am very grateful to have her on my healing team!”

-Brittany England, LMFT, Mind-Body-Spirit Therapist & Coach

“Working with Shankari is a deeply spiritual experience. Her warmth, empathy, and intuition have guided me on some of the most powerful shamanic journeys with my internal parts. She skillfully asks questions and invites insights & connections. Her timing and pace are impeccable and her somatic approach to IFS is powerful! Vulnerable and hidden parts open up willingly and effortlessly in her presence where they get to share their wise messages and integrate in the loving light within and all around. To this day, I still reap the fruits of my work with Shankari in my life.”

-Mariam Bahmane

“Shankari has a grounded and playful presence. She is humble enough to help me feel safe in taking the lead in our sessions and assertive enough to nudge me closer to myself when I need it. As our sessions have progressed, deeper layers of my psyche have revealed themselves, sometimes through very vivid and evocative images. I appreciate that she brings in creative arts elements so I can capture these images. Her enthusiasm for IFS and healing work is palpable and contagious!”

-Jessica Healy, Psychotherapist

“Working with Shankari helped me understand and approach parts of my life with an increased level of empathy, insight, and curiosity. Over our time working together, I started trusting myself more, tending to my own needs, and setting healthy boundaries. It's nearly impossible to capture all the changes that have happened since I started working with Shankari-- they are myriad and still unfolding! I loved her energy, her questions, and her presence during each session. I feel that I was able to talk about, unlock, and access parts of myself that I never would have encountered without her guidance.”

-Emma Reynolds, Creativity Coach

"Shankari helped me properly apply the IFS model and relate to my parts from Self Energy. After reading many books on IFS, I found that working with Shankari was the fastest, easiest, and most pleasant way to start working with my parts. She is awesome. If you're considering working with her, book a call with her and ask lots of questions, she really helped me figure out if this was the right decision for me, and it was!"
