WHAT OTHER INTERNS ARE SAYING:
"Such an incredible experience and would recommend her with no hesitation."
​
I couldn't have asked for a better  experience! It was exactly what I was looking for. Shawna does an amazing job of creating a community where everyone feels safe and open to share and learn. This program was so much more than just learning the poses and alignment, how to play a bowl, or use essential oil or how to do something. I learned more about myself and how to incorporate aspects of holistic health into my everyday life than I thought possible."
​
"Shawna is such an amazing teacher. Her love and knowledge for  the subject is priceless. If you wanna get deep and find your true self take this Journey with Shawna. You won't be disappointed."
