About Shasta

I'm compassionate, creative, and calm, mystical, magical, and musical. I am also persistent, yet patient, when it comes to getting things accomplished. I specialize in supporting people with chronic mental health issues and those who otherwise need new routines and patterns to improve self-care. I enjoy connecting, supporting, and comforting you and your loved ones, particularly during stressful times. I am skilled with providing support with movement and energy therapies such as yoga, ecstatic dance, somatic experiencing and sound baths. I can provide guidance on things like daily meditations, dreams, affirmations, gratitude and other personal, mental, and spiritual support needs. Will travel for short-term care and/or personal retreats. Terms negotiable.
