British Columbia:

"In my session, I felt truly supported and loved, guided back to my higher self, 
my own innate wisdom and strength activated.


Having studied Process work with Arny Mindell, I was aware of a similar
approach of respecting and listening to and engaging all aspects of me that
showed up and needed attention. Though Shanti Mai had no knowledge of
Process work, I would say she has wonderful, loving 'metaskills'."

- Susan Cogan, Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada

 

"I was greeted with a warm and loving presence. Shanti's sincerity of heart to sit with me while I settled into myself was comforting. I felt safe to be honest with myself and free to express my needs, unafraid. She held my hand every step of the way, literally.

The discoveries I made in my session are still resonating today. Thank you for your kindness, Shanti."

-Sal Sabella, Victoria, BC

------------------------------

USA

Arizona:

"I was at a place in my life where I felt that I had somehow fallen from Grace and was unable to find my path. Shanti Mai helped me to keep a better eye on my 'compass'.

She was able to very quickly figure out what was blocking my heart and help me to reopen it. I am open again to the call of spirit and comfortable that my path is open before me. "

-Alan Kinsolving, Flagstaff, Arizona

------------------------------

"We were surprised by how much love we both felt from Shanti Mai. We'd had such a hard time, and didn't know what to do.

We both felt that her assessment was clear and insightful. It broke through our stalemate, and we were even able to laugh about it. We understand ourselves, and each other, better now. Many thanks."

-Bobbie & Ray Dalston, Phoenix, Arizona

------------------------------


California:

"Shanti Mai will show you things about yourself and about your life that you think you can't bear to see. And you'll relieved, maybe even laughing, maybe even forgiving yourself. She's a gift!"

- Karilee Barnes, Oakland, California

------------------------------

 

"I'm an attorney...skeptical of any sort of counseling or therapy, especially anything "metaphysical". But Shanti Mai is different.

I gained more from one session with her than from a dozen sessions with a psychiatrist... She immediately saw through my elaborate defenses and lovingly challenged me. It was a relief - liberating! - to realize that I could not hide from her.

I feel a bit like a tuning fork: Shanti lovingly "struck" me, and I'm still vibrating to a note I had never heard in myself before."

- Stephen P., Sacramento, California

------------------------------

"Shanti Mai walked into my place of business at the perfect time.  I was in desperate need of clarity.  She provided just that.  We connected instantly.  She showed me how to be honest with myself.  Shanti Mai guided me through self introspection, helping me find my truth. She has a no fuss method that cuts through the superficial and allows you to do the work, no hiding.

I have worked with Shanti Mai now three times, each time needing to find peace with myself.  I now use the tools she has given me in my daily life.  I am thankful to have met her and grateful for her loving and caring approach."

Christina La Moglia (owner of The Park Salon in Glen Park)
San Francisco, CA

------------------------------

"Like Ammaji, loving and maternal, deep-spirited. But also strong and in-your-face. Shanti Mai turned me right-side out with clarity and compassion."

-Martin Hansen, San Diego, California

------------------------------

"In the midst of darkness and misinformation it's hard to rise above the pain enough to see the Truth. Even a counselor and healer needs a voice from the outside, a bright light to lift one up and illuminate the way. Shanti Mai was just the bright light I needed at a key juncture on my path. She has the gift of compassionate insight and the wisdom that comes from hard-won experience.

She looks into your eyes with a love that touches your soul deep inside, reaches in and finds the knot that needs untying, and offers the precise support you need to untie it. Thanks for being there, Shanti Mai!

Sheryl Karas, Santa Cruz, California

------------------------------

Florida:

"Shanti Mai was inspirational and right on point. At times I was shocked by her intuition. She was able to see through the words I was using. She understand the real side of things.

It was my pleasure talking with her. I really enjoyed it, I felt like I could talk with her all night.

Shanti - Thank you for your time and concern, and your deep understanding of what reality really is."

- Melonie Madzel, St. Augustine, Florida


------------------------------

Kentucky:

"Within the first 5 minutes, Shanti Mai broke through my blindness with her kind-hearted intuition and keen perception. By the end of my 20-minute session I was able to see the issue with more honesty and love than I had thought possible. Since that time I have felt a strength in myself I forgot I had."

- Nancy Rae Morrison, Louisville, Kentucky

------------------------------


Massachusetts:

"I was deeply moved by Shanti Mai.
It started with her openness and acceptance, and the exquisite quality of her listening. I found myself wanting to share things that I usually keep as secrets for myself only. Her ability to listen deeply for life's most subtle truths, and to see through my rationalizations and drama opened me up to seeing my own inner truth. As a result I have been able to live closer to what really matters to me and to let go of the burdens that come with melodrama. I can love my life with all its problems and imperfections!

I've been peaceful and I want to thank her for that."

- Diane Parris (Clinical Associate Professor - Boston University)

------------------------------


New Jersey:

"I was feeling really blocked, confused and overwhelmed. After my phone session with Shanti Mai, I was able to identify and decompartmentalize what was driving these feelings, and am feeling much better.  Thank you!"

- Wendy Zuckowsky, Ventnor, New Jersey

------------------------------

New York:

"I am sitting here with the process of deconstruction that I just experienced with Shanti Mai. I did not expect the drama to be stripped away so quickly. She got to the heart of the matter immediately. In the process, I experienced a part of me that I haven't been consciously aware of ; I am floored as to the simplicity of the truth."

- Malaika Durand, Brooklyn, New York

------------------------------

"Wise, compassionate, irreverent, honest. Shanti Mai has walked a step ahead of us, and I'm glad she's turned around to give me a hand up, so that I can benefit from her experience."

- Tod Markum, Skenectady, New York

------------------------------

Nevada:

"Shanti Mai's technique was simple, but very powerful. She helped me quiet my mind and I took a deep breath. Then the emotions came up from inside of me with so much information about my old habits and negative beliefs. What amazed me was, I've been searching and reading for about a decade, but we uncovered something I knew for a long time but had never seriously given any attention to. I'm not a beginner for most kinds of healing - I know what is real or not, and am not gullible. The healing was real.  

I believe a genuine healer has a real sense of love, balance of the mind, and integrity. I felt those from Shanti Mai. I was so glad when I saw that in her.
So it was pretty easy for me to open myself during the session. When I need another counseling, I will definitely call her again."

- Amy Hill, Las Vegas, Nevada


------------------------------


Oregon:

"In my recent session with Shanti Mai (my fourth), I was reminded why I seek her help. Shanti combines her gift as a seer with great compassion and understanding that comes from her own depth of experience. Her sessions are like a conversation with a dear friend that knows you well and will listen with empathy, but will challenge you to release all your limiting patterns.

She showed me the many ways I was holding myself back, and helped me frame a new outlook that is currently producing profound results. "

- Bill Walker, Ashland, Oregon


------------------------------

 

"Shanti Mai's presence came through to me even in email form.
When we spoke on the phone she helped me to see my pattern of dealing with my pain and with its companion, power. I knew from her voice that I was in a safe place to feel and didn't need to go numb, but my old patterns of tuning out took over, anyway.

Shanti Mai was able to ground me back into my body and emotions and gave me a strategy for doing that for myself in the future. I can now see what growing awareness could be like and am less afraid of the power I've kept hidden under pain. She reminded me of what I already knew (and I needed to hear). She saw my biggest fear and still loved me.

It was an intensely connected experience to talk to her and feel her seeing into my consciousness and guiding it."

Thanks again. Love,

-Lauren Cleff, Portland, Oregon

------------------------------

"Shanti Mai, thank you!  Satsang was remarkable.  Although I didn't go up and sit with you, the experience touched me deeply.  You said that whatever message one person was given applied to all of us. It did. Not just in a general way, but very specifically. The experience was profoundly healing.  Many things have shifted for me, including the ability to write a children's book I've long wanted to do.  The compassion and love that you shared with us that evening continues to blossom in my heart."

- Elizabeth King, Eugene, Oregon

------------------------------

 

"I felt like I already knew Shanti Mai. In a very short time she helped me get clarity about the dynamics of my relationship and provided me with insights that have helped me take steps to improve the situation.

I had been reading a lot of Indian Mysticism - Gangaji, Eli, and Nisagardatta Maharaj, so it seemed like our meeting was predestined. Shanti Mai's love and compassion provide a safe environment for dealing with all of life's challenges."

- Paul Flashenberg, Eugene, Oregon

------------------------------

"I'm someone with a life-long interest in Metaphysics and eastern spiritual traditions who is nonetheless skeptical of many Healers and psychics, but it only took me a few minutes of working with Shanti Mai to determine that she was the genuine article.

With very little knowledge of my personal history, Shanti Mai was able to accurately assess my life situation, guiding me out of the maze of mental suffering, and teaching me some very simple techniques for reconnecting with my heart and my original, unblemished nature. I'm still reaping the benefits from my one session with her, and would strongly recommend that anyone going through life crisis or change, or looking for spiritual guidance, contact Shanti Mai; she'll be able to help you in ways that no other counselor can."

- Bill Bardo, Eugene, Oregon

------------------------------

"I have had sessions with traditional therapists and counselors, none of whom reached into the depth of my Being with such ease. With compassion, Shanti Mai brought into sharp focus the crux of my difficulties, presenting me with tools I could use on my own. Shanti Mai is an ever-encompassing and empathic soul who brings forth true and immediate healing, transferring the energy of her presence, and the power of her vision, to those who seek her out."

- Bob Kennedy, Eugene, Oregon


------------------------------

"A dental client of mine, previously unable to relax enough to allow a needed root canal treatment, rescheduled and contacted Shanti Mai for help. Sedative and narcotic drugs are often used in such situations, but my client refused to take such drugs.

At the next attempt, Shanti Mai was immediately able to help our client connect with and resolve deep-seated fears that were affecting their ability to relax and cooperate.

"Shanti Mai's ability to connect with a person's innermost feelings is exceptional
and can be a great asset in helping those who have difficulties facing relatively unpleasant medical or dental procedures."


- Dr. Richard Smith, DDS, Eugene, Oregon

------------------------------

"Shanti maintains such a loving and supportive energy it is easy for me to open up to my vulnerable issues. I am amazed at how quickly she tunes into my emotional state and my needs. She helps me see things about myself and my situation and to work though my feelings swiftly and easily. Shanti is my spiritual counselor of choice, even though we live over 400 miles apart. Unlike other counsellors, I call her when I need counseling and she gets back with me in a timely manner. "

-Shawndeya Costello, Marcola, Oregon

------------------------------


"I will not forget Shanti Mai or her energy.
I saw and felt that energy upon entering the church [for Satsang]. I still hear her words of insight, especially about looking at others as a reflection of self." 

-Linda Todd, Eugene, Oregon

------------------------------

Pennsylvania:

"Shanti Mai was referred to me by a trusted friend and advisor at a time when I was doing some serious growth and soul searching. I had an hour phone session with her (and it flew by in what seemed like minutes).

The best way to describe my experience is this: I took a walk down my path of fear, knowing that I needed to face them in order to grow and get past them. I did that, but I did not go there alone. Shanti Mai was right there, holding my hand and guiding me - so that I could see them for what they were - limiting beliefs - that I had the power to let go of any time I was ready to. It was quite an emotional experience. She also taught me how to "go to that place" by myself and do the work alone, if I choose to.

She is a very gifted and special person and I am very glad that I had this experience with her. Thank you Shanti Mai.

- Lauren Westwater, McMurray, Pennsylvania


------------------------------

Texas:

"Shanti Mai is one of those rare people with loving insights that can really help us to see ourselves clearly. I asked Shanti a serious question that was bugging me and she gave me a very insightful answer that immediately made sense and resolved my concern. She has many wonderful resources to draw from and was really helpful. I think Shanti Mai is aspecial person who is anchoring the light and goodness into this reality!"

- Charlotte Brown, Austin, Texas


------------------------------

Washington:

"Shanti - Everything I write seems so shallow in comparison to what I am still experiencing because of the breakthrough that occured in my session with you :

"Shanti Mai's intuitive brilliance brought me to a pinnacle of enlightenment I had not realized it was necessary to scale. Her questions are poignant, her insight, extraordinary. Shanti Mai's guidance is a gift of eternal sunshine and continues to be a strong cornerstone for self-realization long after a session.

Her voice, her laughter, her tears, her presence - always present in my consciousness - have become sources of immense strength for the path I have chosen to follow.

I am ever grateful for the kind and loving manner in which Shanti Mai shares her devotion."


- Janet Kingsley, Bellingham, Washington

------------------------------

Shanti Mai takes off masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. When I began my Intuitive Phone Session, I was very lost. I had just left my job and for the first time I didn't have a direction, or a goal, or a purpose. I immediately felt at ease with her warm heart and humor.

Shanti guided me to the truth I had so long pushed aside and allowed me to confront and understand what had caused me to do that. By helping me to confront the walls I had built, she unearthed a pain I didn't know I had, the reason behind many of my choices.

After my phone session with Shanti Mai, I felt clarity, peace, and an unexplainable completeness. To anyone who is contemplating an Intuitive Reading with Shanti Mai, I would tell them yes, absolutely. Because sometimes we don't know how lost we are until someone points us in the right direction."

- Jacqueline Cramer, Seattle, Washington


------------------------------

"Shanti Mai's unique style of counseling opened up a dialogue in our marriage. It has enabled us to talk without fighting and has taught me how to be emotional instead of angry.

The work we did that day continues to resonate and illuminate. I suggest that anyone who feels they need help in their marriage or life try Shanti's Intuitive Counseling, especially if you have been turned off by other types of talk therapy."

- Pamela Scharaga & Danny Shaw, Port Townsend, Washington

------------------------------

I took Shanti Mai's Intuition class and was wonderfully surprised at how easily my abilities came forward with Shanti Mai's loving, gentle yet persistent guidance. As a result I am much more confident and have new skills and far greater knowledge of my own strengths.

This class exceeded my expectations
by breaking away the barriers that had previously kept me from getting in tune with my own intuition.  Thank you, Shanti Mai.

- Tana Leach, Port Townsend, Washington

------------------------------


"Shanti Mai speaks directly to my soul. She is so present and clear with me that my spirit is moved powerfully.
Very old conflicts within me have begun to resolve through our work together.

Shanti Mai creates a safe and nurturing yet confronting interaction that cannot help but move one out of stuck places. She has provided healing and resolution in deep places within me."

- Britten S. Poulson, MA, Seattle, Washington www.poulsonleadership.com

------------------------------

"After our phone session the words that kept coming were how magical! Though she had never met us, Shanti Mai connected with both of us easily & quickly while providing detail that was illuminating and supportive.  She is truly a Seer, and by far one of the best we've spoken to in years. 

Thank you for your inspiration and humor!"

 - Mary & Lilly Willard, Nine Mile Falls, Washington 

------------------------------

"I felt totally validated in my own intuitions - and Shanti lovingly pointed out the part I couldn't let myself see. Thank you!"

- Sherri Burns, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------


"Shanti Mai helped me to find the person I've been looking for - - me!"

- Jane Greenhalgh, Port Hadlock, Washington

------------------------------


"I drove 45 miles to the Yakima Psychic Fair to find out why I was having heart problems, high blood pressure and chronic bronchitis. I was immediately drawn to Shanti Mai's table. Her reading was right on the mark. She pointed to my chest and said I was blocked in the heart area, that I didn't trust people, just nature and the universe. That's me.

As I worked with Shanti's information over the next couple of months my chest pains went away, my blood pressure is normal and I have only had bronchitis once, which went away when I examined and changed (as Shanti had taught me) what was going on in my life at the time. This was all perfect timing, because I got pregnant just a couple weeks later!"

- Amy Zook, Sunnyside, Washington

------------------------------

Shanti Mai gently brought me into the present moment and proceeded to facilitate a link to my heart and spirit.  She illuminated the shadows with non-judgemental clarity and insight. Blessed Be, Shanti.

- Craig Johnson, Port Hadlock, Washington

------------------------------

"Within moments of sitting down with Shanti Mai she was able to access a deep and untapped place in my heart. In a brief, gentle session she helped heal years of pain.
I wasn't consciously aware that these issues even needed to be dealt with. She provided safe, gentle mothering love and deep knowing - things I had never experienced before with another human soul. She helped to transform me to an entirely new experience. I will forever be grateful for her role in my new life."

- Noel Mitchell, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------

"Shanti Mai helped me to open my heart in a way that I never had before. I had never had anyone so gently and lovingly pierce through my fear and wall of resistance. She gave me permission to receive like never before, created a spaciousness...opened a door...I let go and moved from "recovery" to LIFE! I knew exactly what it was going to take in order to heal, and I knew, deep in my heart, that I was never going to fear love again. My life has continued to open up, and miracle after miracle has taken place. I will forever be grateful to Shanti Mai."

- Kathy Aye, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------  
"Gentle is the word for Shanti Mai. Her soft controlled energy gently pulled me to her. I left with an inner peace. My life quickly changed as I followed my intuition. I left a bad relationship, my miserable job, and signed the lease for my first own place. Much love and peace goes to Shanti Mai who helped me listen to my heart."

- Angela Fisher, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------


"I had been searching for another path, having reached middle age. My life was in turmoil and I didn't know which way to turn. Shanti Mai helped me find direction, a path I am now pursuing, and my life is changing. All in a very short 15 minutes."

- Ben Johnston, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------

"Shanti Mai, with her joy-filled warmth and pure heartedness, is a servant of the truth. I recommend her work to anyone with a sincere desire to find the freedom that lies behind their suffering!"

- Flay Wahl, Langley (Whidbey Island), Washington

------------------------------

"I walked into the small booth with an annoying weight of conscience, driven by fear and anger...Shanti embraced and freed the emotional disturbance within me, which gave me the freedom to choose the path. Now I walk."

- Kevin "Doc" Puccia, Seattle, Washington

------------------------------


Wisconsin:

"When I returned to Wisconsin,  Kristine Gay, my counselor of three years, was very impressed with the results I had acheived in my one session with Shanti Mai, results which she found to be quite remarkable.

I was very confused when I went to see Shanti Mai. I was attracted to seeing her for help after reading the testimonials which were quite striking. Also I felt she had a similar background with which I could relate: experience with meditation and she seemed grounded to me. She was able in our 45 minute session to guide me through a direct experience of re-connecting to my self, my heart.

I was surprised how she quietly guided me, to quiet my mind,
through a series of questions; As my mind became quiet, my energy dropped to my heart, where all the answers cound be felt, in that innocent place, that had become sort of numb though the years. I had been feeling confused, trying to figure it all out, mentally...

Also offered was a technique of staying connected to my heart, with 'eyes open' meditation so I could continue practicing in any interaction - seeing, feeling with my heart. I found this to be so powerfully essential, because coming from source energy is where truth of intention can accomplish it's goal
, which is to be grounded and guided.

So, I highly recommend Shanti Mai to anyone who is in need of connecting to back their source, and promoting the growth of the soul. "

- Robert Gimbel, Verona, Wisconsin
