“Shekinah and Robert are two lovely people, full of good energy and a lot of insight. I would say there is a lot of magic in both of them. I love them both and recommend everyone to have a holistic experience with them.”
My session with Robert allowed me to feel both connection and disconnection. About half-way through I literally felt my spiritual body lift free from my physical body. It was as if I was looking at myself outside of myself, freeing me from any limitations. And if you’re not ready for that kind of experience, just relax and breathe in the soothing beats and vibrations of the sound therapy and singing bowls.

Robert's gentle nature combined with his skills in energy medicines made my treatment both healing and balancing. He was also able to give me insight into past and present energies, along with knowledge to carry forward for healing and growth. I highly recommend Robert’s sessions. They are truly healing. Thank you and blessings.
– Julie A. (SK, Canada)
Robert is an amazing soul, who has always remembered the beautiful gift that he came to this Earth with. He has shared it with me in many sessions that have guided me into so many ways of healing myself. His genuine natural abilities touch one to their inner being – helping one understand much about themselves that they didn’t before.
– Lorna D. (AB, Canada)
I went into my shamanic session skeptical and not knowing what to expect! I knew our paths were meant to cross so I was optimistic. The hour and a half appointment was one of the most relaxing, energizing, clearing and educational experiences I have had. I learnt about chakra clearing, what areas are strong and what to improve and notice. Robert educated me on my aura and light body, strengthened it and helped with alignment. He shared messages from spirit guides and my higher self that resonated with me. He shared what my strengths are, cleared and moved energy, and highlighted areas I could look out for and work on. The sound therapy was so peaceful, and the use of crystals were fascinating to experience and very enlightening. The intuitive guidance that Robert shared was enriching, profound and accurate. When Robert was done, the information and accuracy of who I believe I am, and the personality traits I express, he nailed it. I am forever grateful and changed from our appointment. Looking forward to the next.
– Shannon E. (SK, Canada)
The first time I met Robert I instantly felt a connection. His presence alone is very peaceful. I can’t speak highly enough about his sessions. They heal you in ways you didn’t know needed healing. I have had the great pleasure of getting to know him and his soul is captivating, you just want to know more and be with him more. Robert... thanks.
– Leanne H. (SK, Canada)
My treatment with Robert was indescribable; his technique was nothing I had experienced before. The process was very relaxing for me and the insights from Robert following the session really helped to bring closure and a better understanding of why I am the way that I am.
– Michele H. (SK, Canada)
When I first went to see Robert I had absolutely no idea what his sessions were about, but that people just seemed drawn to him. Anyone I knew who went to see him always had nothing but good things to say. I went in with an open mind and was totally blown away by my experience. Robert has helped me with several issues and has always left me with a more open and intriguing way of looking at things. He has shown me possibilities I never even could have dreamed. Robert’s huge loving heart, giving personality and openness come across very strongly in his work.
– Brenda M-S. (BC, Canada)
I’ve had three sessions with Robert. I started meditating about six or seven years ago which has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I met Robert about two and a half years ago. Our first session together was so powerful for me. It was the first meditation I experienced with singing bowls bringing me into meditation deeper than I’d ever experienced. I had visions, past life experience and spirit animal messages all explained to me by Robert even though I didn’t tell him what I had just experienced in my meditation. How did he see what I saw? I had never really thought of my own past life before or a spirit animal for me, so this was so cool. I was able to deepen my insight and meditations after this amazing experience and to heal and understand myself at another level. Each session with Robert takes me to the next level of my journey and I am so grateful for this adventure.
– Lynne H. (SK, Canada)
Robert and Shekinah are absolutely incredible souls that I have had the pleasure of receiving amazing sessions from. They assist in letting go of everything that is no longer serving your highest good, nurturing your body and soul. I can’t wait to get back on their table for another session.
– Liz B. (SK, Canada)
Shekinah and Robert are two lovely people, full of good energy and a lot of insight. Shekinah’s Ayurvedic massage is simply wonderful, a mix of stretching and relaxing that transports you away. The singing of Robert’s bowls penetrate deep within our souls, waking up and bringing our unconscious to us. I would say there is a lot of magic in both of them, super sensitive people. I love them both and recommend everyone to have a holistic experience with them.
– Yara L. (France)
Shekinah and Robert are both gifted and intuitive healers. The combination treatments of singing bowls and ayurvedic massage provides for amazing relaxation and is helping me work towards more inner peace. From the moment I enter the therapy room, I am able to focus on the present and “be in the moment.” I highly recommend them both. The experience is beautiful and like none other.
– Chatelle C. (SK, Canada)
Robert and Shekinah have been pivotal in helping me reclaim my individual power on my healing journey. They have been a guiding light for me when it was needed most. The way they are able to create a safe and comfortable space made me feel at ease and fully supported. Through working with them I have been empowered, and reminded of the reservoirs of strength I innately possess. This brought tremendous personal growth and transformation in my life. Everything they do is done with great power and intention. I am grateful to have found such compassionate people on my healing journey.
– Kim D. (SK, Canada)
I have had nothing but the best experiences with Shekinah and Robert. They are lovely, talented individuals and a powerful team. I’ve had the pleasure of taking yoga classes with Shekinah and have had several of her Ayurvedic massages - she is a great teacher and her massages are calming and therapeutic. Together, with the sound therapy that Robert provides, they provide a truly unique and regenerative experience.
– Kristin W. (SK, Canada)
My session with Robert was very comforting and relaxing, he exudes trust and compassion.
- Ken (BC, Canada)
When I first met Robert I could feel his kindness, his open heart and his integrity. When I later arranged to receive a session with him it felt like it was somehow at exactly the right time. I had recently made some significant changes in my life. The information that came to me through the session supported those changes and helped me take my next steps in settling into a new and fresh time in my life. I recommend a session with Robert at any time, especially when life seems to be “stirring the pot” of change.
- Chelsea (BC, Canada)
I’m so thankful and grateful for meeting Robert. I have severe nerve damage from failed lumbar surgeries and degenerative disc disease and have had to walk with a cane for two years. During my shamanic sound healing treatment I experienced intense pain throughout my hip, leg and foot, but knew I needed to just breathe through it and let the healing happen. And healing happened! The very next morning when I got out of bed, my pain had lessened so much that I am now able to walk without my cane!
– Krista R. (SK, Canada)
I have had incredible experiences with Robert. He has helped me heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. Every session is a new experience! I had suffered chronic pain for over 30 years. Doctors diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and gave me pharmaceuticals to ease the pain. After my last session with Robert I can now say that I am FREE of chronic pain! No more medication to help me through the days and nights.
Robert has helped me connect with my spiritual guides and helped me make sense of all that I see and feel. Words could never express my gratitude for all that Robert has done for me.
– Rita S. (AB, Canada)
My experiences with Robert as a healer have been profound. The aftermath of cancer and conventional treatment left me broken, lost, and sick on all levels. Robert assisted me on my healing journey with his intuitive, grounded presence and mastery of vibrational medicine. I experienced physical spinal adjustments (hands-off; no manipulation), mental clarity, emotional removal of unhealthy energy, and spiritual renewal. He helped put me back together!
- Kathy B. (BC, Canada)
Awesome experience of sound healing and past life exploration. Every cell of the body was delightfully massaged by the singing bowl vibration and felt like the mind, body and soul had a reset. Thanks Robert! I will return!
– Jane H. (SK, Canada)
Met Shekinah and Robert today, amazing people! Received the sound and body treatment and left feeling better in touch with my inner and outer self. Truly magical experience!
– Brandi H. (SK, Canada)
Shamanic Healing
Robert has such a powerful gift of directing and moving the energy of the collective which is the room through sound. His sound healing was a time portal unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Robert’s intuition is mind blowing. His capacity to see into a person’s story and how they are engaging with it is extraordinary. His wisdom is potent and has been very helpful. The way he uses this wisdom with sound can shift the energy in the room through all kinds of portals with a grace I’ve never seen before in sound healing ~ as if each sound and transition between the different sounds were indistinguishable.
- Jess A. (BC, Canada)
I attended the Past Lives Workshop with Robert at Soul Feast in Kenosee Lake! I enjoyed the teachings on past lives and the meditations immensely! It was very calming and relaxing yet the combined energy of the group and the sounds of the bowls provided a very powerful experience! I had a very vivid journey and really appreciated Robert’s insights and guidance!
– Jamie Lee (SK, Canada)
I came to the workshop filled with a lot of unprocessed emotion- fear, anxiety, anger and sadness - especially connected to expressing myself. I've always turned to music for solace and for joy. Robert’s singing bowl bath was wonderful yet hard for me to describe the journey and what it does. Perhaps a good reminder that there is much more to this existence than we can describe or see. For me, it really soothed my bruised heart and calmed my fears. Then the reading at the end was delightful, and felt like a nudge from the universe to not minimize what I have to say, as the bluebird who showed up encouraged. As I left the workshop, I can't be sure, but a bird in the distance was making noises (maybe a stellar jay) as if to say....remember! I appreciated the reminder of how as a group we have insights to offer to each other and there was a lot of resonance for me in many of others' sharing. A day later I still feel inspired and more confident. I have had a few affirmations about the value of my words in the few short hours since. I would highly recommend Robert’s shamanic sound healing sessions to anyone....might gift some family members a private or group session.

My first experience with Shekinah was in Odissi Dance Training which I loved and had a lot of fun doing. She knows her stuff and is an amazing teacher, lots to learn from this powerful woman. Most recently I did a reading with her virtually that I found to be super accurate. This reading has inspired me in many ways and since then I have made some very positive changes to my life. I left behind some habits and thought patterns that were not serving me, this allowed me to become lighter and feel freer in my body. Today I am glowing and so happy. Of course the work was mine to do but Shekinah's wisdom and guidance was a huge support in pushing me in the right direction. I am thankful. She is a beautiful person inside and out and an inspiration to me and many others.

– Kim D. (SK, Canada)
Both Robert and Shekinah fully and open heartedly engage me in a conversation where I can ask questions, and/or explain my situation. This allows them to elaborate and offer more guidance and strategies to better utilize the information gained from my reading. I would say their greatest strength lies in their coaching ability, which really requires a more active role from the client. Ask questions, ask for strategies, ask for further guidance. This isn’t a typical reading where you “test” the intuition of the healer and wear a poker face! The more I have engaged Robert or Shekinah, the more insight and clarity I have gained through honest and heartfelt discussions and by being an active participant!
- Amber C. (Alexandria, Egypt)
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again... Shekinah is MAGIC. Each time she guided me to answers I didn’t know I was looking for. The tone of her voice, the way she speaks just enough to come to your own conclusions. Each session with her brought up a different area of my life, providing deeper clarity to why I am who I am. Being provided a summary via email after was wonderful as well, a great tool to remind you what your inner self was trying to say.
- Casey S. (SK, Canada)
Shekinah absolutely radiates grace, and each time I have had a session with her I without a doubt felt that she has a true gift as an oracle. She is wise and insightful and totally authentic. Often when I am feeling lost or upset she will come to mind. When I do reach out she responds with kind words, encouragement and possible solutions. I have always felt that I can be open and honest with her without being judged.
Her connection to Source is so strong because she has put in the work, I admire her for this. I think it is really important for each of us to do our own work and I would 100% recommend using any of Shekinah's services to elevate your spirit.
- Sadie S. (BC, Canada)
Intuitive Readings
The Temple Dance is a life changing Practice. I started my journey about six years ago now. There are so many levels to the dance, it covers a wide range of disciplines. From martial arts, yoga and meditation. Shekinah has been a huge part of my journey as my guru. Her classes are gentle and hold space as you discover the layers of physical and emotional waves. Also she is fierce and guides you to push yourself, and to be proud of your accomplishments within the Practice. She has spiritual understanding of this Practice by being trained in India and her own studying. She's an amazing teacher and I am very confident in saying, it's an experience you will cherish forever. Being in Shekinah's presence is amazing!! I feel empowered and inspired.
- Namaste, Sage
Shekinah’s classes are pure bliss. It rejuvenates your mind and soul. Her passion for Dance is amazing and she has inspired me to follow my passion. Highly Recommend her classes.

Temple Dance
Shekinah is a beautiful soul who puts her everything into what she does. When I needed to take some time for myself, her guided yoga turned into transformative healing and a journey into acceptance. She listened to me, responded to me, and validated my own interpretations of what my body was telling me. When I wanted to go deeper, she walked me through a guided meditation that helped me recognize and release some very long held thoughts that were influencing me in ways I wasn’t aware of. She helped put me on a path, and I am forever grateful to her for her compassion, acceptance and encouragement.
– Carlyn S. (SK, Canada)
Yoga Therapy
This location, cabin and property are an absolute sanctuary! We were able to completely relax, unplug and soak in some much needed healing from the mountains, forest, gardens, natural pool and sauna!! Though it is remote there is access to absolutely everything you might need in beautiful little Kaslo 5-mins away & if the spring-fed cold-plunge pool is too glacier fresh for your liking, you can drive 10 minutes in either direction to find pristine driftwood beaches and play in Kootenay Lake! Sheena and her partner were supportive and attentive, they helped get the sauna warmed up and start us a fire in the evening, made sure we had everything we needed - but kept respectful distance so that we could enjoy the peaceful privacy of their little cabin. The cabin itself is a dream, next to a magical garden, musical creek - and guarded by forest fairies. Wildflowers, dragonflies and mountain peaks as far as the eye can see. We will definitely be back, and bringing family and friends too!
- Tanis Rose
Shekinah and Robert were such wonderful hosts! Their adorable little cabin nestled on the hillside with the most incredible views will take your breath away. The cabin itself is brilliantly set up and totally private with gorgeous decorating and all the essentials you'll need - it feels like a magazine! The bed is SUPER comfy and if you leave a window open while you sleep, the creek nearby will lull you to sleep beautifully. We watched the sun rise over the mountains each morning with our coffee and spent lots of time outside, enjoying the lush greenery and wildflowers surrounding the property. There are also lots of great books to read, and a lovely wood burning sauna that we used before taking a plunge in the natural cold pool. It's only 5 minutes from Kaslo but you won't want to leave once you get settled in. Pictures do not do this wonderful place justice, it's better than you could ever imagine. 10/10, we HIGHLY recommend staying here and we'll certainly be back again someday very soon!

Accommodation
I absolutely love Ayurvedic massage with Shekinah! It’s a whole body massage but so much more. Shekinah has gifts of intuition, healing touch, and loving presence. I always feel so much more relaxed and in tune with my body after treatment and I smell delicious thanks to her custom blended oils from India. Highly recommended!
– Susan B. (SK, Canada)
I have had the pleasure of knowing Shekinah over the past ten years. She is the kind of therapist that not only listens to the words you speak but also listens to your body. She truly understands the body, mind, and soul. After every session I can’t even begin to describe how great my body and state of mind are feeling. This lovely energy carries with me throughout the day. You absolutely feel aligned with body, mind and heart after an experience with her. Thank you so much for all the help and hope you have given me.
– Michelle F. (SK, Canada)

Shekinah is deeply intuitive and a great listener. She listens to my words and to what my body is saying it needs, and to my overall state. She always seems to know just what to work on. She has a wide array of techniques and tools. I love that it’s never the same experience twice! I always feel extremely relaxed and more whole, and the benefit of working with her usually lasts for weeks if not months!
– Erin E. (SK, Canada)
Shekinah is a beautiful, caring soul and I felt an instant connection and comfort with her. Shekinah has a gift of intuition and connection that is truly authentic and allows her to really sense what your body needs, her presence is calming and her sessions are incredibly effective.
The Ayurvedic massage is an experience that allows you to let go bringing calm to the body and mind, leaving you feeling weightless, fully released, rejuvenated and with a sense of clarity.
– Kelsey (SK, Canada)
Booking a session with Shekinah is truly an act of self-love. I always feel more emotionally balanced. Her intuition and commitment to healing mind, body and soul is evident in each visit. I love seeing Shekinah and I know you will too!
– Kelsey O. (SK, Canada)
I thoroughly enjoy all my Ayurvedic massages with Shekinah! The moment I arrive I feel relaxed and encouraged to be exactly as I am. It is easy to be honest and open with Shekinah about what I am feeling both physically and mentally. I feel like a goddess when I leave her place!
– Haley M. (SK, Canada)
It was so personal (my retreat), writing about it is limiting to the experience. The rapid change and growth that followed my experience left me little time to dwell on the experience itself. Since I have been home, the journey before me has opened up in ways I never imagined or expected.
I hope that when others choose to go, that they are open and ready for where their life wants to take them. Shekinah and Robert are beautiful hosts and guides to hold space for you to step into your growth and development. The journey is always up to you, but you couldn't ask for better friends to stop and nourish yourself with along the way.
- Lisa B. (SK, Canada)
Shekinah and Robert are two beautiful and gifted souls who will guide you along your spiritual journey. They tailored the retreat to my needs at the time with yoga, Odissi dance, meditation, journaling, cooking sessions, shamanic healing and Ayurvedic massages. Kaslo’s mountains have that « je ne sais quoi » grounding energy. I treated myself to luscious forest walks and peaceful breaks on the shores of Kootenay Lake. I cannot say enough about the oasis of mindfulness, spiritual guidance, love and grounding liveliness Shekinah and Robert have created there!
- Odile M-S. (Australia)
I'm so grateful to have learned Odissi from Sheena and to have had the opportunity to collaborate in a few shows with her. She is a very kind, patient and knowledgeable teacher who inspires each student to do their best. It's such a precious opportunity to be in her classes.
Gracias,
- Kari A.
