We had the good fortune of connecting with Shenika Marie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shenika, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
When deciding whether to keep going or to give up depends on where the inspiration originated from. Having a heart to heart with yourself is essential asking, “Is this motivated from or born out of the need for money? Is it a need for help? Is it a passion that stems from my heart?” It is imperative to be still, meditate and listen for a response from God to know which direction you need to go. Allow yourself to go back to Source and determine is this in alignment with my life’s purpose at this time. I feel everything stems from the foundation of love so am I still feeling the love? If not, can the passion be reignited? Recognizing that motivation and reason behind the things we do can be lost if expectations are not met. Sometimes we get caught up on a thing because we invested so much time and money and stay there because of it. Sometimes we push when we need to flow and let go. All experiences allow us to grow and birth ourselves over and over again. Allow yourself to go and grow with the ebbs and flows of life. If love guides you to it, keep going, even if you have to pivot a time or two. That thing may need to be tweaked and shifted just a little to be able to succeed. Anything else outside of love, redirect and check-in is a must so you are not in a position of turmoil or regret. With love, you can keep going or give up and know the other side is ok.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My Business was blossoming when I was at another job. I was working as a Team Lead in mental health multi-million corporation. I kept being pulled to do more healing work and eventually I was doing it part time. I always had the ability to see beyond the physical eye into the spiritual world for as long as I can remember. The more time I sent doing the work part time it began to feel like home. Fast forward five years and I have been thoroughly enjoying watching my client family grow and evolve. I was constantly back and forth about starting this spirit business because of the small town I am from this was seen as something evil. It was very difficult to come out as someone that had these gifts that was not in the church even thought I was offered on a few occasions because of my gift of prophecy. What I learned is the ability to be resilient, consistent, focused, determined and the ability to listen to God, What sets me apart from traditional healers or therapist is my ability to see spiritually what the client is not saying. Being able to hear, feel, see and understand what the person is truly experiencing. Sometimes when they are grieving from a loved one, I am able to communicate with them from the other side. I also have helped some clients with physical pain with pain management with energy healing. My ability to offer these and many other services have allowed me to really enjoy my life’s person. As a Holistic Therapist I utilize different modalities to heal, cognitive behavior therapy, talk therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, crystal healing, dance therapy, sound therapy, shamanic healing, reiki, chakra clearing, cord cutting, soul retrieval and more. My specialty is working with you to get to the root of the cause of your blockages. I want the world to know that you are in control of how you live and the way you show up, you are never alone and you are loved. If NO one Has Told You They Love You Today” I LOVE YOU”. You may ask how can I love you…..Simple I LOVE ME and we are all connected in Spirit sooooo I LOVE YOU.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Monday would be a day of rest and recovery allowing my friend to decompress and I will cook for her/him and vibe in each other’s company. Tuesday we will go to Cascade Park and visit Bar Vegan. Tuesday night will would attend Poetry in the Trap.
Wednesday we will visit Little Five Point and grab something to eat at the Thai restaurant in the village with their amazing curry vegetables and sushi. At night would visit I Love Poetry.
Thursday we will visit Sweet Water Creek Park and mediate by the water indulging in a live food picnic that includes a chickpea salad, seaweed salad, quinoa salad with a smoothie.
Friday will go to some boutiques during the day and Visit Little Five Points again (one of my favorites places to go) and Go to Golden Glide or Cascade at night. The people here are so cool.
Saturday during the day we will visit the Crystal Loft and have an early dinner at Bar Vegan. We will keep the possibilities open Saturday night looking for a grown and sexy place to vibe at and be cute.
Sunday we will stay in and vibe in each other company and I will cook a candlelight dinner with incense and feel-good music.
