DIVE 

1:1 Private Self-Mastery + Integration Mentorship

Dive is a 1:1 container for folks diving deeper into their inner healing journey. This mentorship consists of breathwork and integration sessions that is tailored to what you’re working with / through currently in your life to help you build self-mastery.

I know you have big dreams and want to experience things in your life but maybe perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and that pesky overthinking is keeping in you in a loop.

This is where I come in to your life.

  • Let’s explore these patterns of “I’m not good enough”

  • Find aligned ways and pace to break the cycle that is compatible with your nervous system

  • Build confidence in yourself without a shadow of a doubt in your mind so that you can fully show up in all aspect of your life

  • Deeply (and really) heal the parts of you that still keeps you contained - it’s time to go to the next level

  • Share what you have been training for your entire life with people who you love to serve

  • Follow your Intuition and know exactly where you are being led

  • Embrace and embody the laws of vibration and attraction

  • Build trust in yourself and know that your skills, gifts, and experiences have immense value and are needed

  • Align yourself energetically to fully make the impact you were put on Earth to make

  • Thrive in your practices and help others while doing it

  • Have fun, enjoy life, and know that we are all work in progress

  • Build confidence, energetic alignment, and trust in YOURSELF

I believe the deep stuff takes time. It’s easy to surface, but what do we do with it when it’s here?

My style of mentorship is radical accountability, patience, trust, integration, and love. There's stuff to move around, and we get to co-create this experience together. My mentorship focuses on cutting through to the root and core of the issue, so that we can create a pathway to your success together. This requires careful assessment of the current state of your nervous system, emotional state, and future desires.

Whether you started with me, somewhere else, or on your own, it’s always magical to have a consistent supportive space where you are able to feel, heal, decompress, and integrate all the complex things that arise on this journey.

Self-mastery is to develop a loving relationship with your thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and actions. It is to build higher emotional intelligence so that you can heal through the past and release what no longer serves you.

This is for you if:

  • You’re seeking personalized discovery, self-mastery, healing and integration with a mentor in the healing arts

  • You’re working through a growth edge and want to work through that challenge

  • You’re ready to embody your gifts

  • You’re diving into the next layer of your healing

  • You’d like a hands-on approach to what you’re working on

I do support

  • Radical accountability

  • Human-first approach

  • Being a mirror to the greatness that is you

  • Holding space for your inner wisdom to shine

I don’t believe in 

  • Trauma bonding

  • Chasing you

  • Making you take actions

  • Having all the answers

  • Having unrealistic expectations for what we can do in our time together

This is not for you if:

  • You are not ready to be consistent with your time, energy, and commitment to this container with me

  • You’re seeking a miracle cure

  • You are seeking business mentorship

  • You want to “pick my brain about X topic”

  • You are immersed in other programs and mentorships and this is too much on your plate right now

  • You like to keep things open ended

Structure:

  • We meet weekly for a 75 minute call (online) that will often include a custom breathwork session, integration, and/or mentorship. This often varies depending in what we’re currently working through.

  • Curated homework and assignments will reflect current goals and visions.

  • We’ll keep in touch via docs throughout the week to check-in and update progress.

  • You can choose from 6 weeks or 12 weeks commitment.

FAQ:

  • I already did a 1:1 with you and I want you to keep being my mentor! Can I sign up again?

    • Yes, you can! This is set-up to meet you where you are. Let’s still talk ahead of time to see if I’m still the right mentor for you at this stage in time.

  • When are the calls?

    • I’ll send you a calendar to book your 1:1 calls accordingly to a schedule that aligns for both of us.

  • If I skip calls in the week, can I make them up later?

    • No.

  • Can I take all my calls in a short time so I can move faster?

    • My answer is likely no because a deep dive is about discovery, development, and integration. What we can do in 1 week isn’t the same as three months…

  • I’m nervous about doing a deep dive because I know things will come up for me. Can you help me think through this?

    • Of course. You’re so intuitive for saying that and brave for knowing this about yourself. Feeling nervous about experiencing some of your old shadows means that you 1. know that they are there, and 2. that they are asking for attention. We’ll always work at the pace of your nervous system and a part of the consistency of being in this container is that you are leaving time for integration. A mentorship is a guidance rather than having a final goal to get to, and this approach allows your to face what you need to, with kindness and compassion to yourself.

      The container can be confronting, exciting, and healing all the once. You are ready when you are ready! Meditate deeply on what your intention is in our work together. Is this something you want to shift or are you okay with how it is?

      I encourage you to listen to both your body and your logical mind around what you’re looking to shift together.

  • How can I set myself up for success inside DIVE?

    • Show up with intention

    • Commit to your timeline weekly

    • Apply homework

    • Drink water

    • Enjoy your growth!

  • Can I just book a single call with you and pick your brain without committing to a mentorship?

    • Absolutely not.

Dive investment:
- 6 weeks: $1222
-12 weeks: $2222

Dive is application only.

I want to make sure we’re a good fit for each other. Having an aligned mentor/mentee relationship in healing work is an incredibly important step.

I’m taking a limited number of new mentees (4-8) and applications are open as long as spots are.
Looking forward to diving in with you!

-Shanila

“Shanila has the magic touch to see through me. She has helped me more than 5 years of therapy in the short few weeks we worked together. We get down to the real stuff and I can finally say what’s on my heart. This whole mentorship has been challenging me in the best way and I always knew I had someone on my corner both being compassionate and holding me accountable at the same time. I learned SO much about myself and it literally changed my brain. Like literally my brain is different. I feel so much love for myself and my inner child. She’s so happy I can’t explain this feeling. I’m doing another mentorship with her in the future 100% and can’t thank you enough for holding this much needed loving space for me. Love you!!”
“I have never been so seen and heard by ANYONE in my life. I don’t know how to explain how important this mentorship was for me to get myself together. I have more confidence, love, and trust than ever and I’m finally feeling like I can move through the world in a new way. Shit was challenging and made me uncomfortable a lot but you know how to push me to the ceiling and then BOOM I can breakthrough. This was my second time doing a round of mentorship with you and I’m so grateful I’m being witnessed because literally no one would believe me where I came from and where I am today. I thank you but you’ve also taught me to thank myself. I got this!”
“Best mentorship of my life. I cannot tell you how much I’ve grown in just 3 months. I am so grateful to you and the way that you SEE ME.”
“I’ve mentored with Shanila twice in the last 3 years and I keep coming back to her. This is really a deep dive. She’s always meeting me where I am. There is tough love that I welcome with open arms. This is my favorite investment so far.”
“10 out of 10. WOOO I was challenged but I was ready. This really helped me stay accountable in my personal dreams. I feel the teacher will show up when you are ready and this was proof. I loved our calls, the breathwork movement, and the ongoing check ins. I recommend “diving” in!”
“Really powerful experience with a really powerful woman. I feel like someone believes in me now. More importantly, I believe in myself. ”

Say hello to a world where you don’t have to do it alone. You don’t have to shy away from embracing that there is so much out there we just can’t use our linear, logical minds for. We have to tap into our gut, our intuition, and our heart, to fully understand that there is so much out there that is beyond us, and we are meant to embody our greatest purpose.

Trust me, after nearly 12 years in tech and women’s research, I navigated a world where the scientist and the mystic in me had finally met each other. My whole life, I was attuned to energy, talking to plants, spirits, lucid dreaming, astral travel, and much more while fully embracing science, but never found safety, confidence, or support to actually embody it. It took burnout and complete un-alignment in all aspects of my life for me to come back to me.

And actually, I began my research career as a perfectionist researcher…

I’m the founder of Flow Breathwork Facilitator Training, best-selling author of Breathe, a 4th generation sound healer, women’s researcher, national speaker, and host of a Top 6 podcast, The Playground. I created my studio The Healing Arts Academy to be your friendly guide towards your self discovery and mystic journey. 

I support you to ignite the inner healer within you - the one that knows exactly what to do, how to heal, and use your intuition towards your highest good - in life, in relationships, and your soul aligned missions, so that you can make your impact for others. I’m particularly interested in helping BIPOC healers hone their crafts and close wellness gaps in our communities. In the past years, I’ve supported 1000s to do the same through my programs, mentorships, and trainings, and am one of the first to receive grants from the State of California to bring holistic healing such as sound and breathwork to clinical populations. I’ve implemented programs in women’s shelters, veteran’s legions, and underserved school populations. I thrive in supporting conscious healers ready to put in the real embodied work for their collective.

So many of us are taking ourselves way too seriously now-a-days; it’s time to have fun and embody our highest selves. Ready to play?
