Testimonials

"Calmer and more connected to self - Happier. These are the words I use to describe how I feel since working with Rae~Ven. After just a few sessions I found myself releasing the life-long tension and anxiety I carried with me after a difficult childhood that included an alcoholic father. My heart feels literally opened and I am less “in my head” as a result. Rae-Ven’s gentle approach and inherent wisdom has provided exactly what I have been searching for during my past 30 plus years of trying to “heal myself” and “get better”. In fact, nothing really seemed to have helped during these past decades until connecting with her. If what I share resonates with you, then bless yourself enough to have an initial session with Rae~Ven. Doing so will move you toward the freedom you have always wanted and deserve." ~Joe S.


“Rae~Ven is a true healer/shaman/wisdom keeper/light worker. Through her gifts, energy work, and sound healing she is able to connect with the spirit world and into other dimensions to relay important messages and visualizations. My purpose for reaching out was a root chakra clearing. She provided insight necessary for my healing journey and practical ways I can continue to do the work at home. She has a beautiful calm, grounded presence that makes you feel safe to drop into yourself which provides the space for her to do her work. Not to mention this was done remotely. Can’t recommend working with Rae~Ven enough.” ~Isabella P.


“I hired Rae~Ven to help me with my research project to provide mindfulness-based stress reduction to nursing staff at Oregon State Hospital. She did an excellent job, incorporated all the mindfulness practice-diapraghmatic breathing, sitting meditation, body scan, walking meditation and yoga, beautifully. I'm very pleased with the quality of instruction and the dept experience she was able to share with participants during the training. Highly recommended!!” ~Rose M.


“My first experience with an energy healer was with Rae~Ven. I've seen her twice and both times I walked away with more understanding about who I am, what kind of energies are affecting me and what I can do to best support myself through some major changes going on in my life.” ~Mandy K.


“Waking up wisdom was an amazing process with Shanna. It was real, grounding, and transformative. I could feel her support and guidance all throughout the process, even apart from our face-to-face sessions. She truly went above and beyond to walk with me through my darkness, including providing numerous physical tools I could use to aid in continuing my journey afterwards. She was available when I needed her and was easy to get a hold of throughout the entire process. She had an uncanny way of knowing when I was ready to go deeper and when I needed space. Words cannot describe her level of support throughout this period and the tools that were awakened within myself that continue to help me walk through life. Waking up wisdom was well worth the monetary cost, in fact, I found myself wanting to give MORE as her work is profoundly valuable. I'm looking forward to continuing work with Shanna and am so grateful for her presence in my life.” ~Jordin K.


“I had a wonderful experience at Heartfelt Whole Self. Rae~Ven was wonderful. I felt like she was tuned into me and I left feeling refreshed and recharged. She is full of knowledge and answered all of my questions.” ~Michelle A.


“I've been exploring different methods to manage anxiety and a general feeling of "stuckness". Shanna was very in-tuned to what was troubling me and put into words some feelings of mine that I was not totally aware of (which can be and was a very healing process itself). Some psychological shifts resulted from meeting with Shanna, which was an added bonus to the physical/energetic shifts that took place. I saw Shanna this past winter and still repeat many of her wise words to myself regularly.” ~Eleni M.


“Amazing work.. i really recommend for everyone to work with shanna. She was so attentive and really helped me with so much. Im so glad i went to her for my very first reiki session. She really knows how to make you feel welcome and that your light matters.” ~Samantha V.


Rae~Ven is amazing!! Rae~Ven worked with me earlier this year and she cleared my energy field within a couple of hours and helped me understand how to protect my energy & also keep my chakras balanced. She also recommended meditation to keep my throat and heart chakra in alignment. Highly recommended!! You will not be disappointed !! ❤️🙏 ~Tendai M.


“Thank you Rae~Ven! My experience was both wonderful and very insightful. Your energy is very soothing and easy to trust. The space that you helped create/hold during our sessions was very inviting. I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!” ~Anastasiya V.


“I just got a shamanic healing today from Shanna Rae and it was hands down one of the most powerful Shamanic Healing experiences that I have had since Ayahuasca! I was in and out of dimensions and her team of ancestors and other helping spirits were some of the most powerful I have encountered! To balance the power she brought in so much feminine grace, ease, comfort and nurturing (even had a heated blanket) her work is truly incredible! Her abilities are out of this world and held the space for reals! The words I am typing can not even do her medicine work justice! Check her out!” ~Melissa M. 10-13-2015


"Shanna, I am beyond grateful for your rawness and vulnerability... You are a genuine, powerful, humble and AUTHENTIC woman... It truly was work of the GODDESS coming through you!! I needed the best of the best to get to that deep wound in my sacral Chakra so I could fill it with love and trust again... I am truly honored to have been blessed with your magic and healing on my path! In awe and gratitude! I love you Sister!" ~Melissa M.


“What a lovely soul. Shanna has been so wonderful to work with. It's been a gift. Looking forward to more time with her. HIGHLY suggest reaching out to her for assistance. Made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Beautiful experience!” ~Stacey S.


“Shanna was amazing! This was my first experience getting a Reiki treatment, and I'm in love! Not only did Shanna connect on so many points, but helped me feel comfortable and made it so I could look inside of myself and start healing. There has not been a single day since that I haven't looked back and placed myself in the sacred place that she is sharing with everyone. She has a beautiful gift, and I am so blessed that I was able to experience it. Thank you Shanna for your beautiful light, empowering words you shared and the self love you helped me see and feel” ~Megan H.


“During one of my darkest times, struggling to deal with the painful separation that had recently happened with my lover and her two children leaving/abandoning me. This was such a tragic loss to me, to lose my family, the pain was unbearable, suicide seemed a valid way to deal with an unacceptable answer life had given me. Fate led me to Shanna’s business card in a Tea House where I fought back tears, trying to be strong but failing. After working with Shanna using Shamanism and energy work, the light is returning back to me. I am so grateful for er, that there are people like Shanna that care and can help you heal and find your power again. Don’t hesitate to get help if you feel lost or hopeless." ~Jesse B.


“I have done just one session focused on self love and healing with Shanna, and I plan on doing many more. I had never done anything like this or even looked into it, but I was having some rough times and self love has always been an issue for myself, it’s not so much an issue now as it’s changed to a new growth for me, which I am absolutely loving/embracing! A problem which once led me to cry and wallow and make poor life decisions, and overall rule my life, is now becoming my best attribute. My session was beautiful and much needed and I am so unbelievably grateful for Shanna’s amazing strength to bring me to this stage. Not only did she embrace me for me and take the time to understand what I needed and do the session, she’s also there while I’m blossoming, and she’s just as excited as I am. She is a beautiful individual and again I cannot thank her enough for showing me the way and bringing me to the love which is in me.” ~Bea C.
