Working with Shanell has been a huge blessing. I first came to her when going through a very traumatic time in my life, and her gentleness, compassion and skill helped me immensely. She is the real deal - highly knowledgeable, dedicated and extremely caring. I have rediscovered and integrated aspects of myself in a way that wouldn't have happened without her help. We are very lucky to have her on the island.

I have attended Shanell’s yoga classes and had 3 energy healing sessions. I find it difficult to put into words how beneficial I have found Shanell’s teachings to be. I have found her to be a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and feel very safe and inspired by her. Her yoga classes are an experience not to be missed. Her classes help me center and recalibrate each week both mentally and physically and I learn something new every time. Her energy healing sessions were recommended to me by a friend who had found them very helpful. I booked a session having no idea what to expect and maybe a little skeptical, but I am so thankful to my friend for her recommendation. After just 2 sessions I began to realize a sense of clarity about myself that had been confusing me for so many years and I am so grateful that our paths have met. She has had a profound effect on my life.

My life was "cracking" underneath me. I was very unhappy, carrying around old "luggage", trying to figure out my life. Nothing made sense anymore. I was ready to try anything to feel better. And so I came across Shanell's website. A week later I was experiencing Shamanic Breathwork for the first time. Little did I know that my life was going to change forever. Shanell was extremely supportive and patient; even though I did not know her before I trusted her immediately during that initial conversation and that was so important to me!
I have no other way to describe my experience but by saying that my soul expanded during that journey. Shanell was there all the way through and her presence was so reassuring. I felt safe and felt that things were majorly shifting for me! My healing had begun that day! During the next few days I experienced amazing peace within. It was then that I started being guided towards decisions that ended up changing my existence forever. I eventually quit my job and decided to travel to India on a spiritual journey. That journey continues long after I left India.
Today I am happy. I feel complete. My life makes sense more than it ever did. I don't know what the future holds but I do now that I never want to live the way I used to. Words will never be able to express how grateful I am that my path crossed Shanell's. Today I have in her a dear friend. Thank you amazing soul! - BH, 2017

I have really enjoyed taking your Soul Yoga class at Lucky Elephant over the past couple years of living in Bermuda! I am going to be moving back to the states soon where I will be able to resume teaching some yoga classes. I always feel amazing after taking your classes and was thinking about what makes your classes so great. I think you have a beautiful teaching voice, it is powerful and calming at the same time. I also love the sequence of your classes how we do a lot of movement in the beginning and have a midway savasana, and how you emphasize the constant breath to movement connection. I feel really inspired to use these ideas for when I get back to teaching : ) The other thing that I have really enjoyed is your music!! I love the mix of music that you play. Thank you for your inspiration! - Lauren Frisbie
Shanell Vaughn is exceptional at everything she turns her hand to. Naturally born of wisdom, she has a depth and intelligence that can see through and illuminate any life condition. She is also my first choice for healing. Her work as a healer is profound. I felt forever changed and entirely different after just one session with her very unusual and very powerful work. We had a recent hypnotherapy session that was gentle, fun and incredibly powerful. So powerful in fact that it completely changed the way I work and amplified my spiritual journey to a whole new height. I recommend that anyone reading this books in with her quickly as I have no doubt word will spread of her advanced wisdom and skill causing her to book up months in advance. Thanks Shanell for your great work. It has been life transforming for me and now it will be amazing for so many others. – Sharon Doyle
What can I say about my experience and sessions with Shanell...I'm not sure I have the words to describe it, but I'll try. Shanell literally helped me find my inner light and encouraged me to shine brightly in this world. The energy and power coming from her hands, breath and her intuitively knowing exactly what to do next, was amazing! She is such a soulful, loving, compassionate soul. I felt at home the moment I met her and trusted her completely!
Her healing work and energy is far beyond anything I've ever experienced! She guided me through a private Shamanic Breathwork session...WOW! I let go of so much in that session as well as opening up to more of my spiritual gifts. I wondered why I was called to come to Bermuda...now I know. I came here to find Shanell. My soul knew where I needed to go to get back on my own path. I will forever be grateful and I will be definitely be seeing her each time I come back to Bermuda! Thank you Shanell....Thank you! - Marcie Wyatt

Imagine a diagram where there are three circles. In one circle there is love, in another power and in another wisdom. Shanell is someone in whom these three phenomena overlap and align for the benefit and betterment of all those who are lucky enough to discover her.
Before I attended her yoga classes I felt like I was drowning in doubts and worry and insecurity. I had lost sight of the things that mattered most to me. By the end of my very first class I felt like I had finally come up for air. Shanell's classes were more than an invitation to breathe again, they reconnected me to my own beauty and strength. With each class, it felt as though parts of me that I had lost were being returned. Her classes have strengthened me both physically and spiritually in a way that nothing else has come close to. I'd taken yoga before but with Shanell it's about more than exercise or flexibility, it's about healing, your healing. Even in a full class you feel seen and appreciated and cared for. Words can only go so far in describing Shanell's magic, you really have to experience her to understand. When you are truly ready to feel better start here. - Tiffany Paynter

My first experience with yoga wasn’t the greatest. I was intimidated by the very flexible, thin, women in the class at the time and embarrassed by my own limitations. I almost didn’t try it again. But then I did a class with Shanell (Shantidevi) and everything changed for me. Shanell is a wonderful teacher. She is kind, loving, and gentle. She is also extremely knowledgeable in her lineage and freely shares this knowledge with us. I always feel so supported during our practice and after class I am refreshed, more grounded, and more peaceful. I look forward to her class each week. For me it’s like going to a really good church service, only better! – Carla Richardson
I had never been to a hypnotherapy session before though I always wanted to experience it. So when Shanell qualified as a hypnotherapist, I was right there with her on her beautiful ocean side porch. I could not have trusted anyone more than what I did Shanell, as I have known this radiant soul for close to half a decade now as a friend and guide. Shanell took me slowly into the journey and as I glided into the hypnotic state I had one of the best experiences of my life. She gave me complete control over what I was thinking in a guided manner as we cleared up some issues that were burdening me on a regular basis. I had a vivid journey throughout the session. I remembered things from over 20 years ago. It was as if a movie was being filmed with me being both the actor and the camera person…simply wonderful. At the end of the session as I was being guided back into the normal state, I felt I wanted more of this. I definitely recommend this to my friends and family who want to clear some past issues, or just to better understand who they are now and their thoughts and actions at a deeper level. You truly want to be in this journey with Shanell and you will know why. – Monidipa Chatterjee
I knew it was just Divine Timing when I met Shanell
and had my QHHT session with her.
I was at a point in my life where I have questioned who I am and what is
really my purpose in life. What I
had discovered made a profound impact in my thoughts of the world, other people
and most especially about myself.
I am loving my life more and more by following my bliss and being truly
my Authentic Self. I love Shanell’s soothing and healing voice throughout the
session. She is a wonderful healer
and I am so glad I have found her in my life journey. - Shen
When I heard about Shanell
and her services, I immediately booked a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy. I was
at a stage in my life where I needed clarity and some well needed healing.
Shanell’s gentleness and calm nature made me feel at home with her. I fully
trusted her and the process. The experience healed me more ways than I
anticipated. I was able to connect to my higher self, and find inner knowledge
about what my soul and body needed in order to heal. The greatest gift I
received was the healing of my eyes. All my life I had terrible eye pain and
after many consultations with eye doctors and with family doctors the only
explanation they came up with was it was sinus pressure. I felt this pain was
something I would just have to live with for the rest of my life, until I
did this healing with Shanell. For 41 years of eye pain I am happy to say I
wake up each day now with no pain. I can blink, squeeze my eyes, look around
and feel no pain. Words cannot express how grateful and happier I feel since
seeing you. - Tammy Dowling
Shanell's Sunday morning yoga class recalibrates all aspects of my being ensuring a balanced and harmonious start to the week. It's the anchor & the compass my spirit needs to remember what's truly important. Shanell invites you to relax and breathe; to move and explore within a safe environment yet encourages you to move out of your comfort zone while feeling fully supported by her wisdom and knowledge. Love, love, love the yoga experience Shanell facilitates through the beautiful music she selects, the energy she exudes and attracts and the aftereffects of the class. I only wish I had the time to attend all of her yoga classes. Deepest blessings and gratitude to you, Shanell. - Trish Alexander
Shanell's yoga classes have changed they way I view and live my life. Part of this happiness is attributed to the zen feeling that greets you when you walk in the door of Spirit House, there is a feeling of peace and love and it embraces you. I was a relative newbie to yoga a little over a year ago and I didn't know the difference between a sun salutation and downward dog; now I count the days in between our classes, especially Sunday's session, which I call my church. The music is amazing and constantly changing and every class I find myself in awe that my body is slowly opening up and I am feeling connected in so many ways. Shanell has a special, sweet energy that is so inviting and nourishing. It's more than just yoga, there are the extra bits that make it so very special, the varying meditations, the angel cards, the smells and sounds, the sense of ritual, the feeling of community. I thank you dear Shanell and am so grateful because you have taught me how to breathe more deeply, how to be present, how to let things go and open up to the bliss and light. - Wendy Percy
I have attempted to practice yoga many times in order to develop spiritual health and growth. My sister is an avid yoga practitioner and has traveled extensively with different groups with whom she is a regular member. I have never felt comfortable enough to sustain an ongoing and regular practice, until I joined Shanell's class. I feel safe there. I see in Shanell an authenticity and joy in living that is an integral part of everything she does. Being in her presence is uplifting as she encourages me with gentleness, patience, and love. - Christine Rhodes
