Hi! My name is Chelsea and I’m sharing this to communicate what it has been like to be a student of Liana Shanti.

I found Liana on Instagram at the end of 2020. I had reached a place in my life where I had realized everything I had worked incredibly hard for - I had a very cute apartment in the art district of Denver, a loving partner, and a job as a Denver Public School teacher. When I was in my early 20s and pushing myself to work full time waiting tables while also full time in school this is what I visualized. 

Those were my goals. I cannot tell you the amount of weekends that I worked over 30 hours on my feet in three days - only to head to a full week of school at the end. Anyways, I had realized my young adult aspirations and instead of feeling fulfilled, joyful, or any semblance of peace. I felt numb.

I felt depressed. Anxious. Suicidal. Rage. I smoked weed everyday all day to get by, drank heavily on the weekends, lived for my breaks from my regularly scheduled life,

I watched porn for sexual release, in my fits of rage I would destroy furniture and myself… So I started searching for peace. I thought to myself, this can’t be my life. There has to be more.

Before I found Liana’s programs I tried talk therapy, couples therapy, EMDR, reiki, medicinal mushrooms, and none of it helped me to find peace. To find joy in life. Finally I found Liana on Instagram. She would share posts that sounded so matter of fact and harsh - I would have to reflect on it for awhile and always yes - I would realize I agreed.

The first program I did was Mother Wound. It cost me around $300 and it included 6 sessions. That’s $50 a session. This does not include the recorded live calls full of other peoples experiences, questions, and answers as they went through the program. That is substantially less than the $120 a session I paid for weekly talk/EMDR therapy. After completing Mother Wound my rage was gone. It was incredible to me and my husband. We were amazed. I felt lighter. I had started to find that peace.

Then enter Father Wound. I completed most of that program and it has been incredible as well but I believe the timing was off for me. That program I set aside before finishing.

Then enter Candida Cleanse, I started that cleanse January 2022. The first week includes a juice fast, I had never done one before. During that week of juice I realized I would never consume weed or alcohol again. Before Candida Cleanse I thought I was just a little lazy of a person. After Candida Cleanse I learned that was just chronic fatigue.

During Candida Cleanse I decided to also do Lifepath Manifesting. Another incredibly healing program. Lifepath has given me tools that I will use for the rest of my life.

In short, before Liana, I had a job I hated, smoked weed everyday all day, drank until drunk, rage, anxiety, depression, low feelings of self worth. Now? That is all GONE. I have found Jesus. My husband has found Jesus. I have found my heart. I am finding my voice. I continue to do the work so that my life every day will be one of joy, peace, and love. So that I can raise my future children with unconditionally loving parents. So that I can embody the fullest of the person I was sent here to be.

That is what Liana’s programs have done for me. Most of her programs have the first session for free - I highly suggest you check them out. Thank you for reading.
