One of Shanna's greatest inspirations is her mother Corazon, and one of her deepest influences is her sister Maria, who concluded her physical journey in August of 2014. Maria's love affair with cancer was enriched with training exercises that redirected Shanna's focus and path into natural wellness and wellbeing. The experience underlined the urgency of participating in the quality of life now, it revealed the consequences of resistance, and detailed the fine line we play between pain and pleasure.
Shanna Marie believes in questioning beliefs and at the moment, she believes in these 3 principles:
- Everything is Energy. We are energy. Movement, moving our energy, is key to embodying balance, ease, and connection to all there is. When our bodies are active, thoughts our supportive, and emotions are empowered, the body, mind, and spirit flow as one.
- We are all Healers. God/Source/Creator/Spirit/Universe is in all of us. We are blessed with bodies that innately self-heal. When we nourish it with acceptance and gifts of the Earth, when we remove stagnant energy, when we let go, we allow healing to happen.
- Our natural state is that of Love and Joy. When we are still, when we are present to our being, when we take notice of our breath, we allow ourselves to remember and re-experience our unconditional wholeness. We allow ourselves to live with fulfillment and delightâ.

"My practice is simple," says Shanna. "I focus on what feels good. To me. To you. We string those feel-good moments along and discover ways that you can create the same feeling for yourself and by yourself... in your body, in this lifetime, as it is. My guidance does not replace medical advise. What I do does not diagnose, treat, or cure disease. My service and perspective reveal the power of your own Being and in that, EASE is breathed into your human condition. When you love you more than I do. When you take care of yourself more than I do. Then our work is done. Until then, let me STONE, STROKE, and SPOIL you."
