ABOUT ME
Meet Shivi
I was born in Chennai, India and grew up in Cary, North Carolina. From the vantage point of this side of my self-healing journey, I can clearly see that I have been walking the spiritual path my entire life. I was that little girl on the playground who talked with the flowers instead of playing tag with the other kids. I had my "imaginary" friend for longer than most kids were allowed and never stopped believing in the magic of this Earth and her ability to love and support me when everyone else failed me.
​
I started and stopped my healing journey many times throughout my life, and firmly believe we all are healers. My most recent self-healing journey led to me to sit with many sacred plants and medicines (Ayahuasca, Bufo, Kambo & Cacao) in the jungles of Tulum to really process, clear and learn from my traumas and ultimately connect with my higher self to be fully guided in this work from my Soul's voice. In truly believe my life is my PHD and in a world that demands credentials, I want to show up simply as myself; my true self. I offer myself in service to my own healing by creating safe spaces for us to come together, to feel supported, and to co-regulate our nervous systems in an effort to create the life we all deserve.
​
But, I know there are those who need to know certifications and qualifications in order to feel safe and I respect that also! I am trained in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique created by Dolores Cannon. I am also a certified Breathwork coach, Reiki level 1 & 2 energy healer, somatic de-armoring practitioner, transformational behavioral therapist (Gestalt Psychotherapy Informed, Family Constellations trained, Certified Strategic Life Coach, REBT practitioner ) and soul integration coach. Cacao is my most trusted teacher and healer and to be in service to this medicine, I have completed a sacred Cacao facilitator training to bridge this ancestral medicine with the needs of the modern world we live within. Taking individuals and groups on the most luxurious and intentional journeys with cacao either in ceremony or on one of the retreats offered is a dream come true.
​
I worked in corporate America for over 15 years being an individual contributor, sales leader, marketing executive and finally leading and coaching sales teams to achieve success. I created my Corporate Cacao workshops to address the need for work events that don't always have to center around alcohol and pushing the boundaries. I work with executives from the perspective of someone who lived that life, who knows the demands and who understands the lack of supports available to you. Prior to that, I worked as a behavioral therapist working with children on the autism spectrum and their families. I have always known that the real power lies in our ability to understand our behaviors, our triggers, and choose Co-regulation and Co-healing with our own nervous system. Reprogramming the patterns we have taught ourselves is true freedom. Learning how to hear your own body is the real wisdom. Loving yourself in every version you've ever existed is divinity!
​
It's funny to list out your life's journey in a single text box...there's always more but also most of it feels so irrelevant to who I am and why I love doing this work. All of these experiences have shaped the person I have become today, and from this vantage point, I can see how I was always yearning to step into my role as a healer, shame nourisher and unapologetic champion of all things done, experienced and created in LOVE.
I have seen what lies ahead for all of us; the most pure and unconditional love and expansive self-acceptance. I believe it is our birthright to live a life of freedom, love, acceptance and abundance. We do not have to earn it, WE ARE IT! We simply need to remember why we came here and chose to live this exact life we are living!
