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.

I am a naturally caring person, who was raised by my grandparents, so I love and understand the elderly. I love hearing the stories of the past. I love getting to know the families and people involved in their lives. People are important and every person has value and a story to tell! I helped to take care of my grandmother as she was aging and I look back on that time w fond memories. Helping others stay in their home. Making someones life just a little bit easier can have great rewards. I took religion is college, of which I have 3 yrs. I have raised two children, and have been involved in my church over the years. I am now helping to raise two of my grandchildren which I adore! I am faithful and loyal, kind and gentle to others. I am honest and trustworthy.I love gardening, my grandchildren, and nature and all animals, especially cats and horses. In my younger years I was a CNA for about 10 years. Then helped my husband in the restaurant business for quite a few years, then went into janitorial at Hood River High Sch for awhile. I now have an additional 7 yrs (?) in caring for others. I love people! Now that I am a little older, I am enjoying taking care of the elderly and have a good understanding for what they need. I have been doing so for a number (10?) of years. I am a pretty easy going person to wk with.
