“Kahshanna is simply brilliant. It’s commonplace for people to claim their worldview is “unique,” but Kahshanna is one of those people who *is* truly one-of-a-kind. She approaches the world, life, and work multi-dimensionally and empathetically, dissecting problems from all possible angles. She has a profound and poetic way with words and framing issues, challenges, and solutions that combines artistry with practicality. She is people-focused but also a systems-thinker who is expert at spotting patterns and ushering people through discovery processes to find truth, wisdom, and carve out a vision.”
— Alexandra Pallas, Beckley Retreats

“I met Kahshanna while speaking at a fashion event held at the Catherine Malandrino store in LA. Of all the beautiful things in the store Kahshanna was the most. At the time she was an energy healer and you could tell. Some people vibrate at a higher frequency. When they walk into a room the energy shifts. When they speak others listen. Well I’ve been listening to K for several years now and she’s most certainly always right. All verve and business, the woman has her ear to the ground and spirit in the sky and is always 1 (maybe 2) steps ahead.”
— Marcellas Reynolds, Supreme Models

“Kahshanna gave me a Shamanic Healing Session a few years ago. The focus of the session was a Soul Retrieval. She not only reintroduced me to a soul part that had gone into hiding she also gave me tools to integrate that soul part. The result of the session was an upsurge in creativity and confidence that continues to this day. She is passionate, creative, personable, intuitive, intelligent and she brings these qualities to her energetic healing work. I am also continuously informed and inspired by her insightful writings that she posts on her website and blog site.”
