Learn About my Healing Journey to Breathwork & Energy Healing

Hi, I’m Shanie — I’m so glad you’re here.

I live and work in Perth, Western Australia, and I feel truly honoured to guide others through the healing power of Breathwork and energy work.

My own journey into Breathwork began in 2014, during a time when I felt stuck — emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I was grieving the loss of my father… and the babies my body couldn’t carry. Life felt flat, without clear direction or joy.

Even though I had explored healing through Pranic Healing, Reiki, meditation, and other energetic tools — something still felt out of reach. I was doing the work… but hadn’t yet come home to myself.

Then I discovered Breathwork — and everything began to shift.

**Meeting My Body’s Stories**

Through a series of Breathwork sessions, I was able to *safely feel* and meet the stories my body had been holding onto — the ones I didn’t even realise were shaping my life.
I uncovered and released old childhood hurts.
I met the grief passed down through generations.
I began to unravel the false beliefs that I was unworthy, unloved, unseen.
And slowly, lovingly — I came back to myself.
Breath by breath, layer by layer.

Training in Shamanic Breathwork & Quantum Healing

The transformation I experienced through Breathwork was so powerful, I knew I had to share it with others.

I went on to complete over 450 hours of training to become a Certified Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator, guided by my incredible teacher Claire Belton here in Perth. I’ve also served as a Professional Member — and former Secretary — of the Australian Breathwork Association.

As my practice deepened, I felt called to expand into even more subtle realms of healing — and that’s where Quantum Energy Healing entered. This modality works at the energetic blueprint level, helping to restore balance, release energetic distortions, and bring more light and clarity into the body and field.

Combining Quantum Healing with Breathwork has allowed me to support clients on even deeper levels — working with energy, breath, and intention to guide healing not just emotionally, but across timelines, dimensions, and energetic layers.

And now… I’m here for you

These practices continue to shape my own life. I still experience challenges (because I’m human), but now I meet them with self-trust, strong boundaries, and an open, curious heart.

My hope is that this work supports you in letting go of what no longer serves you — so you can return to the wholeness, joy, and freedom that has always lived inside.

Thank you for being here.
If you feel called, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

With love,
Shanie 💜

More About Me

My healing journey has been anything but linear — and like so many of us, it’s been shaped by grief, love, loss, growth, and the quiet inner pull to find something more.

I first experienced Rebirthing Breathwork back in 1993. But at the time, I wasn’t quite ready. I still held tightly to the stories of who I thought I had to be — and the breath, well… it had other plans. So I gently set it aside, and instead followed the path of energy healing.

Over the years, I became attuned to Reiki, trained in Pranic Healing, and explored the beautiful realms of meditation and subtle energy work. I loved it. I loved supporting others. I loved peeling back my own layers and feeling the freedom that healing brings. But something was still missing. I could only go so far.

From Corporate to Caregiving… to Calling

My professional life began in the banking industry — a space of structure and security. And while that phase of life served its purpose, I longed for something more heart-led. Over time, my path shifted.

I met and married the love of my life, travelled, and eventually came home to start again in a completely new way. For over a decade, I supported people living with disabilities — work that humbled and grounded me deeply.
Then came motherhood — the most soul-expanding role of all.
The journey to get there wasn’t easy… but it was worth everything.

That experience cracked me open in ways I hadn’t expected and led me to work with the Department of Communities, where I supported families navigating their own complex journeys. I found deep meaning in that work — but again, I could feel something within me still stirring.

There were parts of my own story I hadn’t yet healed. Parts of me still waiting to be seen and loved.

Returning to the Breath

In 2014, I came back to Breathwork — and this time, I was ready.

Ready to feel.
Ready to be cracked open.
Ready to meet my truth.

The transformation I experienced was so profound that I knew this wasn’t just for me — I needed to share it. I went on to complete my training in Shamanic Breathwork, and I haven’t looked back.

I still continue my own healing with regular sessions — most often with the beautiful Erin McEnroe (you can find her details [here] — I highly recommend her). Each session takes me deeper into truth, softness, and freedom. This is lifelong work, and I walk the path right alongside you.

And now, I hold space for others

Because I’ve sat with my own pain —
I can sit with yours.

I’ve walked through grief, loss, joy, expansion, and the slow unraveling of who I thought I needed to be. And now, it’s my honour to hold space for you to do the same — to meet yourself fully, breathe deeply, and return home to the truth of who you are.

This work is sacred.
And I’m deeply grateful to be doing it.
