Shanti is a wealth of knowledge & wisdom concerning all levels of health & wellbeing. She is intuitive & perceptive to my needs and I don't hesitate to engage with her

I undertook the microbiome diet after 12 months of cancer therapy which included 6 months of chemotherapy and a month of radiation. I was keen to restore my gut health and lose the 5 kgs I put on during treatment. I am pleased to say I easily accomplished both!

The information Shanti sent me is easy to follow and comprehensive. The meal plans are tasty and easy to create. This along with Shanti's support meant it wasn't a hard process to undertake. I would recommend it to anyone.

Colon Hydrotherapy - I was looking to get some relief from long term digestive issues and my general well-being, generally just feeling sluggish and energy was low. Shanti is professional, kind and very informative, she ensured the whole experience was easy and relaxed. Her knowledge is vast and she delivers it with warmth and listens to what you want to achieve from the session. The clinic is very clean and welcoming. Since my session my gut is much happier, my energy is better and I am not having as many hot flushes and night sweats which is an extra bonus! My general well-being has definitely increased. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shanti, she is a wonderful blessing.

Shanti was such a calming and caring therapist to have for colon hydrotherapy. It's a real treat to yourself to start the new year fresh!

Shanti is AWESOME! I have seen her for colonics, reflexology and massage. I had never had a colonic before and was a bit nervous.she made me feel completely at ease, explaining everything really well, answering my questions and held space beautifully through the session. Her reflexology and massage are also phenomenal, she has an amazing intuitive touch, I definitely recommend her

Shanti has a magic touch and intuitive healing that goes beyond her role as a therapist. This service is essential for our health maintenance and I would recommend this as an annual spring clean. If you have Digestive issues even more often. Go to Golden Bay for a holiday and clean out all in one.

I hold Shanti in the 'Primo' category for colonic irrigation/rehydration and gut health therapy. She is discreet, straightforward, confidant, comforting, organized, supportive, informative and present - she loves what she is doing! (who else is going to get excited about your bowels? !) She is also an exceptional reflexologist! A clean, relaxed, modern set-up at Aroha Spa in Pohara, Golden Bay makes the whole experience a cleansing, rejuvenating balm for body and soul <3

Shanti is professional and knowledgeable. She was ver helpful in getting me back on track to great health!

The Microbiome Protocol as created by Shanti has been a dynamic and extremely beneficial experience. These days all I need to do is 'listen to my gut' and know that it never leads me astray. There are certain foods that I haven't re-introduced back into my diet as it turns out that my body would prefer not to have them, and yet the occasional small portion is fine, so I never feel 'deprived'.
I found Shanti's personal yet professional approach to be the perfect balance of providing clear individual guidance and support while also remaining open and flexible to the overall needs of our group. I also appreciated her experience; having tried and tested the protocol herself. Her ability to maintain a consistent tone of sincereness, kindness and humour coupled with a much needed championing spirit, was what helped me to stick with the plan and to find the 'I can do this' attitude when the going got tough. I liken the programme to taking an ocean voyage - where the days are not all calm waters and clear skies - however riding out the odd rough sea of emotional food craving is more than worth the arrival in paradise. With Shanti at the helm I strongly recommend jumping aboard and sailing this journey of discovery for your well being.

Shanti is an inspirational person in my life. I first met her at Evolve Festival in Nelson where I had a booth for several years. I had an iridology reading from her which was a great learning experience. I have stayed in her glamping tent on her property in Golden Bay and been to Aroha Day Spa for her colonics. I hear she’s an amazing masseuse as well. Last month she made and sent me an herbal detox to cleanse the liver. I highly recommend working with her. It’s fun and educational!
