about our founder

I’m Shana, Founder and Certified Naturopathic Practitioner of Maevora Wellness Collective. From a young age, I’ve always felt a profound connection to healing, as if I were a healer in a past life. This innate sense of purpose, combined with an uncanny ability to manifest my desires, has guided my journey through life. For instance, during my esthetics and tattooing career, I could wish for my last client to cancel on days I wasn't feeling 100%, and they often would. Or how I could take a client’s migraine away by just laying my hands on them. It was an ability I took for granted for a long time.

Embracing a holistic lifestyle has always been my choice. Growing up, home-cooked meals and minimal processed foods were the norm, fostering a deep appreciation for clean eating and natural remedies. I have always felt my best when following a clean diet and taking supplements rather than relying on medication.

However, my life took a dramatic turn in late 2022 when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. This diagnosis led me to embrace Western medicine, despite my holistic preferences. After multiple hypersensitive/allergic reactions to the prescribed drugs and a double mastectomy, I chose to continue my treatment holistically, backed by extensive research, a clean pathology report, and my oncologist's blessing.

During this journey, I felt a strong calling to return to healing. The night before my third surgery, I experienced an inexplicable event. As I lay in bed, I heard bells chiming. After investigating and finding no source, I googled the phenomenon and discovered it could signify a call to action or peace and reassurance. This revelation brought me immense calmness before the surgery, a stark contrast to my previous anxious experiences. Remarkably, I woke up from surgery quickly, alert, and feeling great, a testament to the power of inner peace and holistic healing.

Since then, I have felt an overwhelming call to embrace my healing abilities and share them with others. This journey has reinforced my belief in the power of the mind, body, and spirit connection and the incredible impact of holistic living.

Thus, Maevora Wellness Collective was born. I strive to create a space for women to heal, uplift, love, and educate each other. My goal is to offer international retreats for women to rejuvenate and de-stress, fostering a community that sends positive energy back into the world. One of the biggest reasons I believe I beat aggressive cancer is because of the amount of people praying for me and sending me positive energy. They 100% helped heal me. Now that I'm two years post-cancer, I feel it's my turn to help heal others.

I have worked hard to become a Certified Naturopathic Practitioner as well as certifications in Spiritual Healing, an Intuitive Energy Healing, Hypnotherapy, Natural Medicine & Herbalism, Mind Mastery, Health & Wellness Coaching, Sound Therapy & Healing, Women’s Holistic Health Coaching, Meditation and Breathwork Teaching. Welcome to Maevora, where we embrace the journey of healing together, empowering each other to live our best lives. Your Sanctuary Awaits.
