Testimonials
“I absolutely loved the Wild Artist retreat you created. It was a joy to be held with such integrity by you three wonderful humans. Shelly's got a beautiful, insightful, experienced & trustworthy sense and I felt very safe being held in process with her during the transformative breathwork.”
— Hannah
“Shelley’s soul pours forth from her eyes , her heart. Gentle reassuring giving. Her breathwork session gave rise to huge emotion from all of us, but felt safe and so held. The joy too of her shaking session, feet rooted down to the depths of the earth arms reaching to the limitless sky. Inhibitions a thing of irrelevance , joy and laughter bubbling up as we moved shook and danced, surrounded by nature.”
— Juliet
“I wanted the space and time to be able to tell you how deeply affected I was by the space you created, and how altered I felt being led by you and Shelley. It felt like a deep remembering, something I and I think all women are so in need of, a journey of vulnerability and empowerment at the same time. It was also beyond inspiring to me to be led by women who have followed their hearts and stepped into a calling of providing these spaces and practices. The sense of “ coming home” has not left me. I so look forward to the next workshop, and once again send the deepest thanks to you and Shelley for providing me with such a rich and beautifully led experience.”

“Shelley and Mayra succeeded in creating the most unique and special
space in curating a small group of women for their recent cacao, sound and breath ceremony /session.
From the pace of the session to how we were held in that space, all felt wholly comfortable, comforting and safe. The way the space had been set up with an exquisite arrangement of flowers, crystals and the oracle cards to the expertise of our guides in Shelley and Mayra all felt like healing and nurturance in the highest.
I can't wait to sign up for the next one and bring others along to experience this gift and offering.”

“Thank you Shelley & Mayra for creating wonderful space and sharing healing powers of Cacao, Breath-work and Sound healing. I feel really grateful for the opportunity to join and share the space with warm and loving energy, endless kindness and healing spirit. The workshop felt very powerful and relaxing.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful space for women. Really grateful for the opportunity heal with your support and wisdom.”

“Shelley and Mayra are both such calming energies, that immediately as I stepped into the room, I felt relaxed. Breathwork in a group situation can feel very exposing but both women ensured that we all felt safe and taken care of and the room felt very supportive so I was able to focus on my own experience. Ending breathwork with a sound meditation also meant that we all ended with such peace, I didn't want the session to end. Evertime I've done breathwork with Shelley I feel like something unlocks inside of me and I'm more present when I leave. I hope to do more sessions with the women in the future. Thank you!”

“What a beautiful experience the cacao, breathwork and crystal bowls afternoon was.
The whole experience was so special from arriving to our mats to a gorgeous hot water bottle to help us snuggle in to leaving with a rose that was given to us, all the small touches were so lovely.
I've had breathwork on my own before so I wasn't sure what to expect in a group but I was blown away by how powerful it was. To be sharing a space with like minded women the energy was so empowering.
Starting of with the cacao really set the scene for a wonderful afternoon, I loved being part of such an ancient tradition and it really felt truely special.
I felt so safe and held by Shelley and Mayra throughout, the transition from Shelley guiding the active breathwork to the beautiful sounds of Mavra playing her Crystal bowls was actually quite magical and I could feel all my senses calm, I don't think I've ever been so fully relaxed. It really was an exceptional experience and something I would love to be part of again, thankyou both for such an amazing afternoon.”
