Testimonials

“Thank you Shelly!!!

Your mentorship program was exactly what I needed.

It propelled me forward at such an incredible pace, that my human self has taken a while to catch up. I could never have predicted that my life would change in such a drastic way and so quickly. We tackled every single thing I wanted to work on, and surpassed all expectations.

I have come out of this with self love, acceptance and gratitude like never before. I absolutely love the freedom this has given me. I can finally be unapoligetically myself, and I no longer worry about taking up space.

Each week was building, intertwining and unfolding in such an amazing and powerful way, and by the time it had finished, I was left feeling empowered and incredibly peaceful.

I will definitely be signing up to do this program with you again.”

“I am so grateful that Shelly offers distance healings. I have worked with her in-person a lot, and it’s a blessing that I can continue working with her for the time that I am not in Bali. The distance healing was just as incredible as an in-person session. I felt very safe throughout the whole session. She helped me clear out a lot of shame that I was holding on to. She gave me a lot of reflections on topics I was struggling with, which brought so much lightness and clarity in. It also helped me to feel so much more connected to myself and to source again. I felt so seen and heard, and I always love how she is able to bring so much humour into a session as well. I am beyond blessed and grateful that I have crossed paths with Shelly. Everything within me and my life has shifted drastically since working with her. Shelly helped me so much in coming back to my true self, and coming into alignment with my soul’s purpose, and I could not thank her enough for that.”

“I feel that I have gone into a very deep state of myself, that I would not have been able to access before the healing session with Shelly. After having left the session, I felt a deeper sense of self, confidence and clarity. A lot of trust in my own capability and capacity has been arisen from this powerful session.
Shelly is an epic space holder, supporting me in what it truly means to express all of who I am and release that stagnant energy, which in the end allows me to connect to my own soul, path and dharma more than ever.
The way she has been speaking to me is how my soul speaks to me. Seeing the embodiment of my soul with her as a very clear channel, was a very potent and clear mirror to gain more trust, confidence and peace in my life.
Thank you!”

“Every time I see Shelly, I feel like her presence helps me shift something in my nervous system and programming. I feel her work is more powerful than years of talk therapy, and I have so far greatly improved on some very deep core wounds, in only two sessions. I’m deeply grateful for having found this work.”

“Yesterday was so, so powerful. I knew I needed healing that went directly to where things were held deep in my body, deep in my cellular memory, without really knowing what was there consciously, other than the connection to the physical pain my body was in. And then opening and working in collaboration with the gifts that Shelly holds, full of integrity, held with deep love, deep compassion and accurate precision. No messing, and a deep honouring presence.

Thank you Shelly (and Kerry for the part you play too), for an experience that has re-shaped my life. I felt the deep shift,
and I am grateful, not just for the release, but for the new creation and connection that replaced it. Both letting go and becoming more.

Thank you so much”

“Yesterday I received a body work session from Shelly, and it truly was one of the most profound healings of my life. The depth Shelly guided me to, is what I can only describe as a depth similar to a VERY DEEP plant medicine journey. The trauma and pain from not only this life time, but from previous life times, was released out of my body as I journeyed to being totally out of my body, in a whole other dimension of my soul / higher self. Witnessing and feeling fear, trauma and what I can only describe as utter darkness, that has kept me distorted and disconnected to love, FINALLY left my body.

Shelly was like an angel, working with other angels, in other realms, as she worked on my body. I had no control over all the movements of my body, as it spiraled, shook, and mudras of another dimensions language, communicated through me, as it worked with Shelly to remove the density from me. It was the most surrendered I have ever been, and that’s truly thanks to Shelly because of the safety she provides, and the fact that it’s quite obvious she’s working with these higher dimensions of healing love.

I honestly can’t recommend more. I’ve already decided I want to keep receiving them more often, as it’s just quite indescribable how deep and profound the experience is.”

“I have already done quite a bit of healing work, like reiki, energy healing and trauma hypnosis. I didn’t know at all what to expect, but Shelly is makes you feel at ease immediately. She is accurate, professional, and soft at the same time. She supports you so well, while doing the work.

The experience was amazing, as I did a lot of trauma release! I felt much lighter after.
Thank you.”

“Shelly’s work is life-changing!

I was living a life trapped in darkness, and I was afraid of everything. This was until I started working with Shelly. The journey so far has been challenging, scary and not easy at times, but the outcome is so worth it.

My growth had been slow until the last few years when it started to escalate. This was when Shelly started to practice in Bali, and we were doing phone consults. The work intensified so much, it had me tapping into places I had been previously too scared to own and acknowledge.

Because of this expanded growth, I recently participated in Shelly’s eight week Mentorship Program. It was, and still is phenomenally life-changing! Everything is so positively different now. I am so happy and grateful to Shelly to have been part of this, it just blows me away how much I have changed.

With Shelly’s incredible lessons, guidance and full support, plus an abundance of unconditional love and patience, I am finally starting to practice self-love, and starting to feel my self-worth. This is huge for me, as in the past these things were practically non-existent. I’m acknowledging more behaviours, and experiencing so much more joy and happiness.

From someone who’s life has dramatically changed, I highly recommend Shelly to support you in your soul’s healing journey, to find your authentic self.

Thank you Shelly xx”

“My experience working with Shelly, and also being in contact with her assistant Kerry during the first consultation, has been a beautiful journey from start to end. From the very first contact with Kerry, where she really took the time to talk everything through, and getting to the deep to find out what it was I was looking for. It’s been really refreshing having such attention already, before the start of the session. And then the session. I came to Shelly because my mom suggested doing something together as a Mother-Daughter healing. Having seen Shelly work at a retreat once, where I was taking photos, I knew instantly she was the one to support us with this. I think we were both a bit nervous beforehand, but once I saw Shelly, I felt very safe instantly. She has a very open, warm, heart-opening energy.

During the session we first shared some background information, and Shelly immediately could pick up important messages to give us, to see our past and current patterns. She made us aware of our own unique energy, life path, and challenges that we had to get through on our own, and not to get caught up in each other’s life path and energy, and mistake those as our journey and ‘thing’ to fix. We were shown how our own energy, became one tangled-up energy, and how this was keeping us stuck in our problems, focusing too much on fixing the other.

Through her pendulum, it was shown how each of our chakras became identical. Through the messages that came through, she was able to identify for each of us, what this life has given us as our own path, and which challenge to work through for ourselves. And how the key to healing any relationship is focusing on your own work. After that we each received an energy healing to clear the path for ourselves.

Watching each other go through this was beautiful. Seeing another person do the work, is so healing for any relationship. That’s when the energy changed so much in the room. After this experience, I felt it was easier to open up to my mother and let her in more, knowing I could take care of myself, and also set boundaries with her, so I wouldn’t feel like the relationship would take so much energy from me.

I am deeply grateful for having this experience with Shelly, and my mother. I know a lot of deep healing took place in that room for me and my mother, to have a more warm and intimate relationship.

Thank you so much Shelly and also Kerry.”

“Shelly helped me discover and recall a trauma I had totally forgotten about since about the age of seven or eight. I had no conscious awareness of, but I have been carrying guilt and shame from this event, that I can see now, having impacted so many of my relationships that followed. Upon its remembering, and through her work, integrating it by some divine magic of her touch, shared energy, coughing ☺, and verbal guidance, I felt all of the necessary moments of healing and transformation.
I realised, as a seven year old, that the guilt and shame were not for me to carry. That I have been unconsciously carrying, and in doing so, I gave a piece of myself away in that process, that wasn’t for me to give. I experienced the shame and guilt that had been stored in my body all along, that I had been unaware of.

During the process of remembering and feeling, anger followed, connected to knowing it wasn’t my fault. Expressing the emotion then gave me the acceptance of the circumstance, and the forgiveness. Forgiveness for the person this involved and her part in it. Acceptance of her innocence, despite being twice my age. Most importantly, forgiveness for myself, for carrying that for so long, for taking on her feelings, her trauma, for not knowing my own power back then. Forgiveness for how much this event connected to many future events of my life, how they unfolded with this unhealed, and how in the not knowing, I can forgive myself and others for what followed. Full acceptance and love for the gifts of finding the depths of a crack that needed to see the light. The truth in knowing we all have something really special inside of us, and it connects to the whole thing, to everything, Oneness.

Through Shelly’s guidance, I transcended into a hidden place, and found that I already knew what I was looking for. I cannot recommend a session with her highly enough. I feel so grateful to have found a missing key to my own personal puzzle. I would encourage people considering time with Shelly, to be ready to continue to work and integrate what comes up after your time with her. It’s a safe space, and I felt like I could go there with her, anywhere really. On the other side of it though, I’m grateful I have the time and energy in my life, to make sure I properly respect what I learned and healed from, so I can safely and positively rub this off on the people I touch from here.

To Shelly, thank you from the depths of my subconscious mind AND from the entirety of my ever growing heart.
I am so grateful for you.”

“A few months ago, I had a session with Shelly, and it changed my life. I was going through a bad time, and I felt quite lost. Shelly is a very special person.

My session was very intense and painful, but because I needed to get out everything I had inside, and although I had a bad time at the moment, the result afterward was very positive. It helped me get rid of the pain I was carrying inside, and see everything more clearly, to move in the right direction. For this reason, after a few months, I decided to give my partner a session with her. My boyfriend was a bit lost at that time, and I felt like he needed a push to move forward, and I knew that Shelly would be the best option. I was a little bit worried because he’s very skeptical about these topics of energy, personal growth, etc. so I didn’t know how he would react, but he finished his session super happy. He described it as if he had been “reborn”, and had finally understood many things about his past, and how they had been affecting him to this day.

I sincerely believe that everyone should see Shelly at least once in their life, it is so much learning in one session, that it is very difficult to explain, but without a doubt a wonderful experience.

Thank you Shelly, for your beautiful work, and thank you to her assistant, Kerry, to organise everything, and checking on us after the sessions, you make us feel so loved and special.”

“This was by far, one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had! I feel so free in so many ways. Shelly is absolutely amazing. When I got there, she just lit up the room, and I felt so safe. She is so funny and sweet, and it really helped me relax before we went into healing. This experience has helped me so much, and if you’re reading this, it’s your sign to go for it! It will change your life!!!”

“I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical regarding ‘distance healing’. Though, in seeing Shelly before and after your recommendation, I was certainly very glad to have booked my session.

I had a very ‘celestial’ experience, and Shelly was able to channel in, with a very dear friend ‘soul sister’ of mine, who passed many years ago. We would be the same age today. We laughed, I cried, and cried some more. Needless to say, I have zero doubts on the ‘effectiveness’ of a ‘distance healing’, and recommended it to both my mum and a close friend.

I feel empowered, and comforted at this stage, knowing what steps should be taken, because ultimately, I’m being guided with only the best intentions for my life at the forefront. It was certainly a timely reminder, to ‘take my power back’, in a mindful manner, and remember who I am, and what I’m capable of.

Please thank Shelly on my behalf. I gained so much from that one hour, it actually took me another one hour to come out from, and ‘function’ after the call, and yes I’ve been drinking a lot of water, Haha.

I’m certain I’ll book in with Shelly again, when the timing is right. Though, I’ve got a lot of work to do first, yet I’m so positive, and optimistic about my future, and that one-hour ‘WhatsApp’ call, just really brought it altogether for me. Thank you again.”

“My session with Shelly was incredible. She intuitively connected with my soul, and inner child so easily, which helped me move deep seated familial trauma outside of my body, in a safe and supported way.

I now understand myself, and my family so much better, and I feel like it will help me move to more forgiveness in my life.

Shelly held me, as we went into the depths of the trauma I was holding in my body, and I felt so held by her presence, and guidance. My body feels so much more grounded, free, and less tense than ever before. I could tell how much I was holding in my hips, shoulders, and womb, and now I feel that my body can finally let go.

I am so thankful for my experience with Shelly. She is truly a gift to this world!”

“Over the last year, I have been working on myself a lot, so I have overcome, and healed from many of my traumas. When a friend suggested I see Shelly, I had a strong gut feeling that I should go, despite feeling very satisfied with my current state. I was not sure what to expect, or what I would want to bring up and work on. The greatest part of Shelly’s work, is that she really enters your energetic field, and can see what it is your body and soul need to release. Within such a short period of time, I felt such a strong release, and stronger when I walked out.

I do recommend taking the following day off work, to process, and rest fully, as it is emotionally and physically challenging. I am very grateful for the work I did with her, I will definitely be seeing her again, when I know my energy needs it.”

“Somatic Energy Healing.
Thank you so, so much to Shelly, you are phenomenal! There are no words to convey my gratitude. I am so much better after my healing session. I finally let go of my trauma, and can only say I wish I’d met her sooner. Shelly knows exactly what she’s doing, and I cannot praise her enough. The process really works.”

“I’m really grateful for the beautiful encounter with you yesterday. I still have a light headache, and sometimes a feeling of strangling on the neck today. I don’t mind them though. They are like a reminder, and a beacon for me to focus on when I work on my body. I liked that the session was intense. I felt like I made a big step.

Thank you for pointing out the blockage, and leading me all the way through it. The door had been opened, the bedroom door the little me was so afraid to touch, because behind it were death, darkness, and a lion. Yesterday, with you by my side, I opened that door. There was no death, and with perfectly bright light, I (we) sat with the lion for a while. That cute little stone lion.

In the end of the session, the guide was there. He brought me out of the room, picked up all the little me, at lots of corners in the house, and brought them out of the house altogether, hand-in-hand. There were lots of tears. I knew that was a proper goodbye.

I felt as if a very deep space had been understood, and cleared up. I am so excited to carry on the journey, with the new knowledge I have now.

Thank you so much for holding a safe and warm space for me yesterday. That was beautiful. You are beautiful. Wish you a wonderful, wonderful day.”

“I have already done quite a bit of healing work, like reiki, energy healing, and trauma hypnosis.

I didn’t know at all what to expect, but Shelly makes you feel at ease immediately. She is accurate, professional, and soft at the same time. She supports you so well, while doing the work.

The experience was amazing, as I was able to release a lot of trauma! I felt much lighter after. Thank you.”

“I went into the session with Shelly having no idea what to expect, but I can safely say, it was the most life-changing experience for me. Shelly is warm, friendly, and calming, making you feel at ease straight away.

I have struggled with a particular issue for over a decade, and I have been holding onto a lot of negative energy in my body.

Shelly’s session was extremely powerful, and like nothing I have ever seen, or experienced before. I felt such a spiritual connection during the session, which I have realised is exactly what I needed, to heal.

I wish I had stumbled upon Shelly years ago, because I truly feel lighter, and like the emotional energy I have been holding onto for so long has dissipated.

I’m amazed at how I feel so much change within me already, but it’s undeniably there. And it feels incredible!”

“There really aren’t many words I can use to sum up my experience with Shelly, and her magic. What I went through in that session was like no other, and I felt so safe, and held by Shelly. She unlocked things within me, that I had hidden within myself, and had been holding me back in so many areas of life. The session was truly the biggest breakthrough I’ve experienced, and now, the only way I can describe it, is that it feels like my lungs have got bigger, my heart has got bigger. The sensation when I breathe, feels like I have more capacity within me, I am allowing more in, more is opening up, and it feels so peaceful. I feel like I have come home to myself, and that I am finally accepting myself.

I am so grateful for you, and your magic Shelly, and I cannot wait to have a session with you again! Thank you for sharing your gifts with this world!!

Thank you so much!”

“It’s been a long time coming.

Finally got the chance, to work with Shelly on my personal journey. I walked in a man, and left a boy. Shelly helped find the boy, and now it’s time for the boy to shine.

Forever grateful, for assisting me through this, after only one session. Can’t wait to work with you again, to really refine how I can shine even more.”

“I attended the weekend retreat with Chelsea and Shelly, and it was magical. I was having some body pain, and I knew I was in my head about it. I’ve done so much “work”, so my ego was like, ‘you should be able to do this yourself’, and I was beating myself up. The truth was I couldn’t do it alone. I needed some love and support. I’m so freaking glad I took the leap. My soul knew I needed this deep connection with women.

The ceremonies Chelsea and Shelly led, were so healing, and being in a safe place with all women, was next level. In between sessions we went to the waterfall, which was epic. I was able to completely reset. I went from being so hard on myself, and feeling ashamed for not being perfect, to singing at the top of my lungs “I’m Proud Of Myself!”. What really helped me as a successful entrepreneur was Chelsea and Shelly’s honesty and vulnerability.

It’s hard to put into words the radical energy you feel when you’re 100% supported, and tapped in with strong, kind women, who have your back. I’ve done a lot of work living in Bali for 10 years, and this was the best. I’m so grateful for the truths they helped me uncover. My life force was literally unleashed, and my heart is so full of unconditional love and peace.

If you’re ready to change your life, and have fun, I highly recommend you do a retreat with them.”

“Throughout my life I’ve sought guidance and healing, in every kind of practice you can imagine: conventional therapy, psychoanalysis , cognitive behavioural therapy, theta healing, reiki, yoga, guided meditation, and energy healing.

The session with shelly has no comparison with anything else I’ve done. It’s the most deep, intense, relieving, profound, liberating, healing, and real work I’ve experienced.

I feel intensely liberated from trauma, and profoundly reconnected with myself. I am joyfully still processing everything, and fortunately from a place of kindness, love, and compassion towards myself.

Forever grateful for this ineffable experience.”

“Working with Shelly has been the most profound, impactful, long-lasting inner-work I have ever done. I have worked with her multiple times individually, in couples sessions with my husband, and on the somatic embodiment retreat. Each experience has been special, and life-changing in its own right.

Shelly has the most special gift. She emits the frequency of love throughout the entire session—and I feel that has made the biggest difference for me. Working with her has felt like an explosion of multiple miracles within my heart.

She has an incredible ability to hold space, while intuitively guiding me to experience breakthrough after breakthrough. The insights, realisations, and sweet release I have felt from our sessions, have allowed me to connect more closely to my true self… which is the greatest gift I could ever ask for.

I am forever grateful to Shelly. If you get the chance to work with her—go for it. You will be so glad you did. It has been the best investment of my life thus far.”

“Working with Shelly helps you identify your traumas, and to fall softly into them. It’s like gentle parting of the seas, to lift all the layers of protection you have put in place to avoid feeling. It’s the parting of resistance and ego, so you can dive deep down to the root.

I have never experienced any type of energy work or therapy this clear cut. It is a compassionate, non judgemental, no BS approach.

If you want truly deeply freeing results, I highly recommend working with Shelly. She has helped me free the heaviest of shackles. I will always continue to do this work.

All aboard the soul train!

Lots of love brave soul. ”

“From the moment I was in Shelly’s presence, I could feel her power. The way she guided my experience, and held me with such precision, has left me in absolute awe, as I continue to reflect on, and recount what happened in the session. The way Shelly masterfully conducted my energy was truly God’s work. I felt so safe in her hands, so trusting of her, and of myself, to go to the depths of where I needed to go, to receive the deepest, cellular level healing. What I unearthed, untethered from, and unleashed, was EXACTLY what I needed. Ever since my session, I have felt so in my heart, and truly so at peace. Like never before.

The purifying shift in my energy has impacted my relationship with my husband, and my daughters in the most HEAVENLY ways. I have cried many tears of gratitude and joy.

I have been talking about Shelly to everyone I know, singing her praises, and spreading the word of her unique gifts.

I want to thank Shelly once again from the core of my being, and every crevice of my heart, and I am so looking forward to being in her presence again when I return to Bali. My Soul has always called me to this land it calls home… Shelly is without a doubt, one of the powerful reasons, I know why now.

From my healed heart to yours xo”

“I don’t think any words can justify how grateful I am to Chelsea and Shelly, for this truly transformative weekend. I went into this not knowing what to expect, nor had I ever done any prior work with either of them, but for some reason my intuition was calling me to do it.

I had numerous occasions beforehand, where my fear and anxiety had me doubting myself, but this turned out to be one of the best things I’ve ever experienced.

I felt so comfortable, loved and held. Each session was not only professional, but also helped me create some deep profound shifts I’ve not experienced before.

Both Chelsea and Shelly, are wonderful space holders. They made me feel safe and cared for, so I was able to open up and surrender. I also made some really special connections with the other sisters, some of which will hopefully last a lifetime.

Chelsea and Shelly—once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t wait to work with both of you again.”

“I had the most incredible experience working with Shelly.

She has a very warm, loving energy, which made me feel comfortable the moment I walked in. I felt incredibly safe and held throughout the whole session. She helped me clear another person’s energy off of me, and take me to the core wound of why it was even there. It was such a deep, raw and extremely powerful process. It brought a huge liberation for me, as I struggled with this person’s energy, and the underlying trauma for so long. She also validated my experiences, which in itself has already been healing.

I finally feel so liberated, I can’t even put in words the transformative shift that happened.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Shelly!!! I am so grateful for you. Thank you for being of service, and sharing your precious gifts with the world.”

“I will be forever grateful to Shelly for the amazing work that she does, and the impact she has on people. I can’t put into words what Shelly has done for me!

I have had a few sessions with Shelly, and decided to go on a retreat. This was the most rewarding and extraordinary experience I have ever done.

Thank you will never be enough, as Shelly is truly such a special person. I am very lucky to have found her.”

“I had a wonderful night’s sleep last night, and couldn’t be more optimistic about what’s to come.

Thanks again!”

“You have taken me so deep, in such a short amount of time. My ego didn’t stand a chance and didn’t see it coming to protest, or manipulate, as it usually does.

I am going to sleep feeling exhausted, and deeply grateful for the shift I have felt happen in me today, and this is only the beginning.”

“Shelly is truly connected.

She offers a safe space to catapult through your deepest fears, emotional blockages, and conditions very quickly.

Her Authentic Leadership Workshop was intuitive and divinely guided. Shelly listened to the group, and met us exactly where we were. Whilst supporting us to propel into our path of purpose.

The session was raw, deep, honest, and powerful. Not for the faint-hearted. If you’re ready and called to Shelly, there will be a reason. Say yes!

Thank you, Shelly and team. A very sacred offering for which I am so grateful.”

“I had been looking for a good healer for a long time before I had my first session with Shelly. By  ‘good’, I mean someone who could help me heal for real. I wasn’t interested in temporary shifts and changes. I was disappointed most of the time, as lots of healers didn’t live up to their promising words.

I wanted to wait before sharing my experience with Shelly, as I was curious to see if the changes I felt (beginning after our very first session) would stay. And they stayed, and have only become deeper.

I can’t describe with words how grateful I am to the work Shelly is doing. The transformation I feel is everything I’ve ever longed for.

It’s not for the faint hearted though, as you need a deep willingness to face all your “stuff”. Shelly isn’t doing that for you, but with you. The truth about yourself, the ugly and the beautiful, will be fully embraced, and therefore transformed.”

“I was told about Shelly through mates, and I had her number for about six weeks before intrigue got the better of me. I dropped her a message, and luckily I got an appointment the following week. In busier times, I know she can have a waiting list of up to six months.

The experience, I can only say, is a bizarre therapy with lots of primal, childlike crying, and wailing. I am not particularly spiritual, but I was taken aback by what shelly saw in my soul, and she was right on point when figuring out the energy, that I held such pain within me, and was holding me back.

I have shifted so much already within my life, regarding my family, my relationships, and my career. Feeling lighter and more positive…. this is something I have never experienced before, and never thought was possible, to be honest.

I am so grateful to Shelly and her team, for the after care and correspondence throughout. Thank you so much, keep up the fantastic work.”

“I feel energetically, and tangibly, much lighter after working with Shelly.

I had many blocks, and pieces of unresolved trauma, that I feel have been significantly lifted. The combination of being on my own healing journey, and working on these issues for over a year now, with Shelly’s incredibly powerful healing session, has been so profound in helping me release these blocks, and clearing much needed energetic space for new, beautiful things to come in.

I felt incredibly safe in Shelly’s care. She really held me as a mother would, and guided me through some of my darkest memories and pain, helped me move through it, and come back out the other end, more whole, more connected, more integrated, and more alive.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shelly, for the work that you do.”

“I have done two sessions with Shelly. One was my private session, and the second was a group session.

Both sessions have transformed me. I cannot explain Shelly’s method of healing, but I can only highly recommend, for anyone willing to finally let go of deep present and past life traumas, to give it a go.

Thank you Shelly, you are a blessing.”

“Yesterday’s first ever session went really well, and I actually feel like a huge load has been lifted from me.

After the appointment with Shelly, I felt somewhat lightened. I was drained and tired, but so much more relaxed than usual.

I spent the rest of the day resting and had an early night, and for once in a long time I woke up feeling optimistic about the future.

I would certainly recommend this to friends of mine, who have also had difficult circumstances to deal with throughout their lives.”

“Yesterday was powerful beyond words!

In all twenty years of seeing healers, I have never been able to release in any way like that. It was a full “exorcism”, and I am quite raw, but relieved by feeling like a lot was faced.

I am in awe at how Shelly is able to assist in opening that space, that not even plant medicine could, to hold that kind of space of trust, and that enabled me to do the depth of work that I was ready for.”

“My healing with Shelly took me on a journey of self realisation. When she asked what problems I thought were affecting me, I mentioned my ancestral wounds, that I had discovered through Shamanic work. Shelly explained these can be healed by ourselves in the present moment, as that is the ultimate point in our lives, where transformation can take place. This allowed me to look at how I had been affected by this, and come to a point of ownership with everything, after understanding how I got there.

I did not feel grounded as a child, and so felt like I did not belong. This brought shame, along with not being good enough, when in reality life is a true miracle. By us even being born, we are more than deserving of a place on Earth, along with all the other beings. Shame breeds addiction, along with perfection, workaholics, avoidance, etc. These form a tormenting circle, with one feeding the other.

This affected the three lower chakras and my throat, so it was time to shift some blockages. As I lay down, we prepared to move the energy. First I would lie on my back, and ground my feet and palms on the floor, these are the points in which the stuck energy travels out.

I then did some leg movements, bringing down my knees together to form a circuit, then back down to the floor. Afterwards, I moved my pelvis up and down to awaken the areas that reflected my suppression as a child. As I breathed out, I let out any vocal noises that came up. We continued this for some time. As the heat in my face built up, I could feel the shift. Peace came at the end, and Shelly handed me over to my guides, as they came in to assist and praise the work achieved.

Shelly’s healing was most welcoming, and brought out some things that I had not picked up on. She is an amazing, down to earth lady. People need honesty to be able to recognise, and own their stuff and move on.

A lot has broken down materialistically this week, building up to and during: flights and holidays cancelled, fridge broke, wall leaking, van needs to go (I keep dreaming of fixing plumbing). It’s like everything’s purging… I can definitely see a pattern!!!

Thank you to both Shelly, and Kerry, for providing an amazing experience.”

“At the end of last year, I had the most special trip to the Mother temple in Bali. Besakih temple is the largest temple in Bali, and situated on the slopes of Mount Agung, the largest volcano on the Island. All temples on the island point towards here. It is a very powerful and spiritual place.

I was blessed to be guided through this journey with Shelly Towns, and the Mangku. We were taken through the temple, with each part being explained to us, and wisdom being shared from Mangku.”

“I recently had a distance healing phone consultation with Shelly, and wanted to express my thanks, as it was exactly what I was needing. I was both grateful and surprised, at just how connected I felt to Shelly during the session, despite being geographically so far away.

At the start of the phone call, I was seated at my desk, tense, with my head going a million miles a minute, having been troubled by something for a number of weeks. By the end of the phone call, I was huddled up into a cosy ball on the floor of my office, tears streaming down my face, just as if Shelly was with me in person.

She was able to assist me to journey inward, and feel a deep connection to my inner child, giving me the clarity and peace that I needed so deeply at that time. I was so relaxed and peaceful by the end of the call, that I think I said goodbye in a whisper. I will definitely be booking in again soon.”

“All my life I’ve had digestive issues. In fact all my friends knew about it. It plagued my life, and was a continuous source of pain in my life. I have spent years, and countless dollars trying to fix my body. My stomach issues have always been the huge question mark in my life, and the ongoing pain of it all triggered, and elicited so many other emotions of helplessness, insecurity, and loads of uncertainty.

Then I met Shelly. After working with Shelly only twice, my digestive system is completely healed. I was dependent on probiotics to be healthy. I realised a whole week had passed, and I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO TAKE MY PROBIOTICS!! This would’ve been a huge no-no in the past, as my body would’ve screamed at me, “Give me those damn pills!”. But I didn’t need them… my body was perfectly, and beautifully performing on its own. Shelly also intuitively felt I needed more coconuts in my diet, so I’ve been taking a coconut powder daily here in Bali.

To have this is such a huge gift… they say the stomach is the second brain. I’m so eternally grateful that this very important part of my body, is now flowing with grace and ease.

Shelly you are a gift to this world, and a safe place for the heart. Love you very much.”

“When I first thought about taking part in the temple tour, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t have anything particularly on my mind beforehand, but felt it would be good for my body and mind to experience. When speaking to Kerry beforehand, I was intrigued to see how the day would really effect me…

Well, what can I say, it was truly an experience!

During the day, I felt nothing but warmness, love, and support from everyone. My healing has left my body and mind clear, relaxed, and released from any tension I was holding within. I had previously thought I’d find it hard to relax and really let go, especially as this was a group exercise, and my partner was present. But with help and guidance from Shelley, and the Mangku, I was able to truly release and let go!

I would highly suggest taking part in the energetic freedom experience, to anyone who wants to get in touch with themselves, or just experience what it’s really like to feel at peace.

I just want to thank everyone who helped me along the way… Kerry, Shelly, Marco, Joel, and of course the Mangku, for such a beautiful, and rejuvenating day!

“I was part of a learning group with a mediumship circle, when Energetic Freedom came up. A friend from the circle had tagged me in a FB post, advertising the monthly Bali Retreat – I googled, read a little, spoke to my friend, who had seen Shelly previously, before booking a private session with Shelly, and also a spot on the retreat.

I went into this with no expectations, no clue of what to except, no knowledge of how Shelly operated.

The private session with Shelly was a week before I flew to Bali, for The Bali Retreat. I met Shelly, and felt an instant bond, I got good vibes off of her. We sat and chatted for a few minutes before the healing. It was intense, but afterwards I felt like a huge internal weight was gone. I was emotionally drained, but felt fantastic, and was excited to be heading to Bali.

I attended the Bali retreat with my close friend, as chance would have it. Linda and I were the only two booked in – obviously meant to be that way. It was fantastic to be greeted by Shelly, and her wonderful staff, on our arrival in Bali. The week we spent together was nothing short of amazing. Our daily healings, sessions with Shelly, our massages, surf lessons, were all balanced to work to cleanse our souls.

Then we had the Besakih Temple Day – what a magical place that is. The energy that surrounds, and is within the temple, is beautiful. We received blessings while in the temple, and healings from the Mangku, and Shelly, while they worked together.

An exhausting wonderful week, learning so much, letting go of so much that I was holding in.

The things I learnt, I try to continually use in my life everyday. I’ve booked for my next retreat, and would highly recommend Shelly, and her fabulous team”

“Over the past few years of trying to heal, I have tried many people, but never have I experienced anything like I have today.

I walked in feeling like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, and walked out feeling a tonne lighter.

Shelly is the real deal. She tells it how it is and doesn’t sugar coat what you need to hear.

I look forward to my healing journey.”

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you sooo very much for your help.

I saw Shelly on Monday for my first ever healing with her.

From every essence of my being, I would like to thank you for giving me my freedom. I have never felt so free and alive, as I do right now.”

“Wow, I feel amazing.

The session with Shelly was intense and difficult, but never scary. Towards the end of the session, the feeling of euphoria was incredible and so unexpected.

The energy continued all night. My son was sleeping with me, and I felt I was sharing the healing with him. The euphoria continued all night.

My spirit guide, Nan, joined us, and I could see her unconditional love surrounding his sleeping body. Knowing we have her, knowing she can be there for us, is beyond words.

Thank you for giving me this gift.”

“I’ve met with Shelly twice now. One personal session, and the temple tour. Each time I have left with such insight, calmness, and love.

Shelly really is an angel on earth, with such a beautiful gift. Holding space for people, and healing them in a way I have never experienced before.

I am so grateful for having met Shelly, and to have her in my life, to go to when needed.

I recommend anyone who feels called, to visit Shelly. She is truly amazing.”

“I feel loose, my inner child wanted to be heard. The energy shifted from my feet, to my knees, to my sacral/root chakra (which was very blocked).

My spine held onto so much emotion and pain as a young child, up until now, resulting in a physical deformation (what we know as scoliosis, and as a young child I had scoliosis surgery). Shelly sensed the “twist” in me, prior to knowing I had scoliosis surgery. She assisted in moving the energy, which was stored in my hips, back, and neck, all these years, and sending it out. I felt the energy move through my body, as I breathed, and cried out with forgiveness. Feeling the stagnant energy exit my physical body, and allowing love to enter and live inside of me, and most importantly, give love to my inner child, who’s been unheard/ shying away from the pain all these years.

I woke up the next day feeling loose and reborn. What used to crack and cramp in my spine and neck, seemed to have diminished.

Thank you spirits, for being present, to allow me to experience such a deep healing process, and thank you Shelly, for holding space, and channeling your divine gifts to this world.

I have much clarity now, and I am open to dive deeper when divine time permits! I love you sister!”

“I want to thank Shelly from the bottom of my heart, for the life changing experience I had in my session with her.

I released many deep seated negative emotions, and now feel so much lighter knowing that I no longer have to carry those burdens.”

“The session yesterday was powerful, and I slept for ten hours last night. This morning I woke up feeling so amazing, refreshed and energised. I feel like I’m learning how to walk again, like the little mermaid who just sprouted her legs, or a baby fawn learning to walk. I feel light and curious like a child. I feel so much joy. I feel connected to God and my guides, like never before. My physical and emotional body experienced a deep excavation of the traumas and pain, that were stuck in my body, causing suffering.

I’m so grateful for the experience, it was profound.

Blessings.”

“Having done many energy retreats with Shelly, Pendulum Day is by far one of my favourites. I love how such a simple item in the right hands, effectively highlights the imbalances in my body/energy field, which always seem to uniquely correlate with what is going on for me in my life at that time. Sharing this process in a workshop environment, is a unique opportunity to witness the awe we each experience, as the process unfolds.

The way that Shelly teaches how to understand, not only what the pendulum is doing, but why it is doing it, is very enlightening. It is comforting to watch how that effectively guides Shelly through the process of releasing the blockages, which are prohibiting free flowing energy through the chakras. To see a complete turn in my energy field (and others), after the energy releases, is not only great validation of how energy works, but was also akin to watching a magic trick right before my eyes!”

“Wow, what a journey I have been on with Shelly. The first words that come to mind are exorcism and transformation. And this isn’t to scare people, but an effort to acknowledge the intensity of Shelly’s work. Shelly forces and brings out the darkness of the pain we are holding within. She is able to physically bring it out of our energetic system, physical body, and emotional self.

I have had many, many healings over the past few years with Shelly, and each time it is totally different. My first healing was when I was twenty years old. During this session, I was able to release so much pain, and come to peace with my ex-partner, who had passed away, feel his presence, really face the pain I had been running from, and truly let go. I released the pain of my childhood, shame, hate and guilt.

In my continuing healing, I have worked through my most recent ex passing away – something which was so brutal on me, and really shifted me into another level of expansion. Shelly helped me free myself from dark pain, and come to light and forgiveness. She helped me take my power back from when I had it stolen through rape, and made it possible for me to see the guilt and shame I had actually been holding against myself.

I could go on and on, but overall, I can only say, follow your calling and book with Shelly. Her work is life-changing. Without Shelly, I wouldn’t be the woman, healing practitioner, girlfriend, daughter, and friend I am today.

Love you, Shelly. Thank you!”

“I will be forever grateful to Shelly for the amazing work that she does, and the impact she has on people. I can’t adequately put into words what Shelly has done for me!

I have had a few sessions with Shelly, and decided to go on a retreat. This was the most rewarding and extraordinary experience I have ever done.

Thank you will never be enough, as Shelly is truly such a special person. I am very lucky to have found her.”

“I don’t know how to put everything that happened in that hour and a half into words. All I know is Shelly has given me one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. She has given me clarity and ownership of power in my life, whereas before I felt I was always the victim. She set me free from burdens that were unimaginably heavy, in such a supportive way, that I felt like I was with a loved one the entire session.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I can’t wait to dive deeper into myself and this human experience, with someone who is SO GIFTED and in tune.

It was also so refreshing to work with such an organised team, who go above and beyond to provide details and support.”

“I was fortunate to have a healing with Shelly earlier this year, and it was a truly incredible experience.

Being a qualified reiki practitioner, and having been on my own path of spiritual development for many years, I thought I had seen/experienced a good amount of healing, and what was possible. I now know that I had only scratched the surface.

Shelly is a profoundly amazing healer, and it really felt to me like she put her whole being into my journey, when she did the session with me. I didn’t know healing like that existed. I felt myself journey back to a specific time of trauma, but this time I was not alone. I felt like Shelly went back there with me, and stayed with me, supporting me while I found the way out. Trauma is indeed felt as it’s released, but you won’t take this journey alone. During the session I felt very safe and held, and even though it was an intense experience, I felt very in control. It takes a great deal of courage to revisit and heal past traumas, to be willing to experience something again, in order to release it.

I’m proud of my own courage, and so very grateful for the endless courage and pure love Shelly must have in her heart, to take this journey with so many.”

“It’s hard to put into words my healing session I had with Shelly. I was told about her amazing work through a friend of mine last year when I was in Bali, but didn’t get time to see her. This time though, my trip to Bali was unplanned, but I knew it was for a reason. I was reminded again, about Shelly and her work. In an instant, I felt a pull to go see her, and how glad I am that I did.

From our first encounter, Shelly was nothing but welcoming and compassionate. She made me feel comfortable and at home when entering her villa. The space in which she works from, makes you feel safe and free to express whatever it is you are feeling called to say.

I had been on a journey of healing for quite a while, but never have I experienced an energetic shift like this. The word that sums it up is FREE. I finally felt free from so many past wounds I had been carrying around. All the blocked, stagnant energy, now released. I felt light, clear, and most importantly, happy.

Things have been flowing so effortlessly since, and I’m hoping to be able to get to a retreat soon. I can’t express my gratitude enough to what Shelly did for me. Thank you so much Shelly.”

“I had the most amazing retreat, and I feel reborn! I feel lighter, even though I ate so much! The cook, Ibu Jero made such scrumptious meals.

I can feeeeeeel the energy now, and when I meditate, I see colours. My intuition is stronger too. The timing was perfect for me, and everything just seemed to fall into place. Yes, it was hard work but sooooo worthwhile.

I am truly grateful for Shelly, and her gifts of healing, and the ability to see where our blocks are. I plan to do another retreat next year, as I know I will go further/deeper.

Thanks to everyone involved at Energetic Freedom.”

“I cannot thank Shelly enough – she is a gifted and extraordinary individual. There is a perfect balance in the program between healing, relaxing, and fun activities. By the end of the week, I felt a lot healthier, lighter, happier, and more flexible! It was such a rejuvenating, uplifting, and empowering week.

I would recommend that anyone treat themselves to this beautiful and enlightening experience. Thanks again.”

“I’ve been on two of Shelly’s retreats, and never thought I would attend more than one. My experience on the first retreat was so amazing and mind blowing, that I knew I had to go back. I’ve just returned from my second retreat, and now I’m considering a third! They continue to get better for me.

Shelly is a beautiful, loving lady with a special gift. The environment you’re in at the villa feels safe and comfortable, enabling participants to be really open. Her staff understand the process, and are warm and supportive.

If you’ve ever considered doing a retreat but something has held you back, I say do it! Trust Shelly and the process – I couldn’t recommend it more highly!”

“There are moments in everyone’s life when they long for a deeper connection within themselves, whether it is more joy, more love, more peace, or more bliss. These moments sometimes come as a crisis, sometimes as a gentle whisper from the soul, sometimes from being in a sad or difficult place, sometimes by pure fate. Whatever the reason that has brought you to the journey of finding yourself, once embarked, living as your authentic self is the reward.

I came to the retreat not knowing what would come of it. All I knew, was I had a pull to go. I was welcomed into the most tranquil villa, so spacious, so beautiful, so peaceful, so sacred. I immediately felt safe. The staff greet you every morning with such joy and warmth. Shelly gives her all to you in the group sessions. She is 100% committed to your journey, and if you surrender to the process, you can be assured she pulls you out the other side, and the other side is so beautiful.

The inner peace that came for me from this retreat, is priceless. I am so grateful for this retreat, that energetically freed me from the chaos that was going on inside. My experience was so unique and magical, I will cherish it forever. For this was the time in my life where I came home to myself, I found myself, and I loved it. What greater gift can one be led to? Bliss.”

“I went into the retreat not knowing really what to expect. I’d had numerous sessions with Shelley before, but I quickly realised that I was going to experience a lot more at the retreat. It was the first time I had gone beyond the confines of a 1:1 session, to a group environment, and I quickly learnt how I had been defending myself during the 1:1.

To work with other people, and share the experience together, provided a great insight into my own process, what was limiting me, and what I could do to immerse myself more fully. I was astounded at the deep levels that others quickly went to, and in time, I experienced my own new levels. I discovered aspects of myself I had never even been aware of before, and I doubt I could have achieved without guidance and help.

I now share a connection with the other participants, of an experience that is difficult to explain, profound, and lasting. To experience the broken parts of yourselves and others, stand together, and work through to the other side, leaves you in awe at the potential within those around you, and within yourself.

The program was a great mix of work, fun, and time for relaxation and contemplation. It was not rushed, although elements of it were intense. I didn’t leave the retreat fixed. I still have a lot of work to do, but I have strong sense of knowing, and an underlying calm, that seems impartial to the turmoil of everyday life.

It is difficult to explain to people what happened. I think only those who were there could fully appreciate it, but I do know that I am very glad I went, and I would go again.

For anyone that is considering the retreat but has been on the fence, I would say take the plunge, have the courage to immerse yourself in the process, and trust in the outcome.

As I walked away from the final session at the temple, I recall saying “I think the universe just shifted”, and so it was, that things would never be quite as they were again.”

“I am very proud that I attended the October retreat with Shelly.

I had just finished doing a 122km walk on the Camino in Spain. After a long fight, I walked in the door, and Shelly picked up straight away that I came with a heavy heart. This is true, as I have a very ill husband, and it breaks my heart seeing him go through his journey.

My journey started the next morning, with yoga, and then sessions with Shelly (that continued over the next few days), with massages, and on the last day, a trip to the temple, which is an exceptional experience. Words cannot describe the power of Shelly working alongside the Mangku at the Besakih Temple. I feel so lucky and blessed. I even had a go at surfing, which consciously, I didn’t want to do, but I gave it a go, and maybe next time, I’ll be able to stand up. 

I have had sessions with Shelly over many years now, and I have seen how much she has grown in her amazing abilities and talents. And it was me, who had a major shift and transformation. My body had quite a few energy blockages, and with Shelly’s intuitive knowledge, she was able to help release a lot of this energy; physically, mentally, and especially emotionally.

I am so happy and grateful for this retreat, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants change in their life. 

Since returning home, life seems more in flow and in synchronicity. I cannot wait until I can come again. The amount of negative stuff you can remove from your energy fields in just a few short days, is phenomenal.

Many blessings and gratitude from my heart. Thank you. All the staff are very helpful, and are always there to please, so thank you to you all.”

“A friend once said to me, he was just waiting to die, and he felt this life was just a stepping stone to his next life. I remember thinking, how sad that was, and not being able to understand it. That was until I found myself thinking the same way.

When my sister invited me to join her at Shelly’s retreat, I must admit, I was struggling to justify spending that kind of money. Another retreat to “find myself”, seemed futile. Experience proved that finding me was proving to be harder than finding Nemo! I went because a series of misfortune meant that 1: I was able to afford it, and 2: I was not currently working. I believe now, that those ‘misfortunes’ were indeed the Universe’s way of ensuring I didn’t miss out! With a completely holistic and nurturing approach, Shelly and her amazing team were able to start cracking through my barriers.

Unless you have experienced one of Shelly’s retreats, it is so very hard to describe. Set in a very spiritual and calm environment, myself and the other four participants began our retreat. Each person had their own journey, and therefore had a different experience. I feel we were all destined to be together, because the therapy (especially the laughter), and support amongst ourselves, only enhanced the work we were doing with Shelly. I loved that the retreat was a combination of therapies that complimented each other to achieve amazing results.

For me, however, it is just the start of my journey, and it is a journey I intend to continue. I have had so many moments of clarity and realisation since my return home. I feel I finally have some direction. I don’t know exactly what I will end up doing or when, but I know where I’m heading….and for me, that is worth every cent I spent, and more!! The value of that type of calm is priceless. It turns out finding me, is proving to be just as adventurous and rewarding, as finding Nemo!

To Shelly and her team, and to my fellow retreat buddies…….

Thank You.”

“First of all, THANK YOU!

The healing session I had with you was intensely amazing on many levels. It’s hard to explain all the emotions felt in that hour, but I knew it was very well guided, and trusted you from the first moment. It took me back to those moments, where my old beliefs were created. The pain, the negativity, the shame, the guilt etc, were expressed for the very first time after many years. During the session, I felt a release, a healing energy, and freedom. Afterwards, I went to the beach, sat on the sand, and enjoyed the beautiful nature. I was really exhausted and fell asleep. When I was going to sleep, I still felt all the energy moving in my body. Incredible!

I now feel more at peace; my back is relaxed, which is unusual for me, as it was always up in knots. Even my throat is less tight.

Thank you with all my heart, you are an incredible Healer!”

“I am a 66-year-old woman, who has just returned from an Energetic Freedom Retreat in Bali, conducted by Shelly.

Shelly runs a totally professional, and well-structured program. From day of arrival, to the end of the program, everything flows perfectly. You can see that Shelly has given great thought to how each day should complement the previous.

Shelly, Thank you.

I would recommend this retreat to anyone, man or woman. Life’s an Adventure—come on, be in it!! Get your life back!”

“Thank you for my second incredible session. I have been involved in many aspects of personal development for the last twelve years and have experienced some incredible healing in that time.

My sessions with Shelly have been so unique and profound that I have grown extremely rapidly in a short period of time. I am in awe because I have never experienced anything like this, on so many levels.

Shelly has an incredible gift, and I would recommend her to anyone serious about moving forward with their life, and letting go of anything that is no longer serving them.

You are an angel!

Blessings”

“I feel like I’ve been born again—not in an evangelical way, but as if my soul is more dominant, rather than my ego. I no longer feel the need to swear or get wasted; I am addiction free which was a huge goal of mine, and the deep, deep anger has gone.

I gave a serpent-like creature to the holy man when he was healing me. I drew a picture of it, tore it to pieces, and threw it away. My fear was of the serpent that was inside me. It’s tail wrapped around the base of my spine, and its face with big teeth, sat on the left side of my head. It would terrorise and scare me. I might sound mad, but that’s what I saw and felt.

I have made progress in dealing with the stressors of my day. I can let it go and trust more; the unbearable boredom is gone, and I have developed a healthy detachment towards others. I pray God lets me serve Him more; I have a strong desire to be closer to God, to truly come from a place of peace, love and gratitude all the time.

I am grateful for the peace I now have. I thought it would go away, but it has become a part of me, as a direct result of my experience in Bali.

Please offer my regards to your Bali team, especially the beautiful cleaning lady who showed me gratitude.

You and your work are important.”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Shelly, for all of your help and healing support during my retreat in July 2014. The experience was perfect in every way. I am so very grateful to have met you last September, and that the Universe supported us coming together again.

I feel different in a really amazing way, and I am finding little adjustments in my life that help enable me to continue to support the positive changes from the emotional layers released. A couple of obvious ways it has presented itself in my life back home, are changes in my addictive behaviours. I had fallen into a habit of drinking a glass or two of wine most nights, and was smoking on and off (mostly on!). Since returning from the retreat, I have replaced my wine with lemon in warm water, and no craving (mental, emotional or physical) for cigarettes. I think, for me, there is a deeper sense of love for myself in some way.

I am also feeling that ‘big love’ is mine. That my true love is looking for me and will present himself in a lovely and surprising way, which warms my heart!

Meanwhile, on my work front, I am gaining more and more courage every day to take the leap of faith and create a new program and role for myself, which I believe contributes to the value and authentic connection people feel in their work systems.

Every day on the retreat, following our healing sessions and before I went to sleep at night, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of how lucky I was to be in that space. So very lucky to have had the healing experiences and be surrounded by the care of yourself and all of your beautiful team, who have added such a very special part to my story.

Thank you so very much, and much love to you all. I hope you are smiling in life and love.”

“I came to the retreat because my marriage had stalled and I had a ‘young’ broken heart. I was traveling through my life in top gear, speeding past moments that needed time to take in, but they were just a blur. Brick walls were built to shield the pain.

Shelly and her team of beautiful souls at Pondok Nino gave me a sanctuary where I could ‘turn the car off’, rest, refuel and rebuild.

Since my time there, life is changing, not just for me, but for my family (wife and three children). The journey Shelly guided me through opened my eyes—and especially my heart, to the inner peace that is a right for everyone to have. My love for myself has returned, and I have made peace with my past.

I have gained another family through Shelly and her team, and also another brother and sister in the two others who I took my journey with. Thanks to them also for being there when I needed support throughout the retreat.

The ambiance and tranquility of Pondok Nino is the perfect surrounds to go on the journey of a life time.”

“Shelly brings integrity, intuition, wisdom, and love into her work, which makes for a truly profound experience. She has helped me move mountains in my life, and I can’t thank her enough. She is a gifted woman who is following her path and has found her true calling and purpose in life.”

“If you are already reading this testimonial, trust that you are heading in the right direction.

Fear not, for any hesitation, concern, worry, or fear you may feel around booking or not booking a retreat—that’s just your ego trying to control you—again. You are in safe hands with Shelly and her beautiful family in Bali.

Words can’t really describe the feeling of peace, playfulness, and love that is guiding me now—and which will continue to do so. I’m 38 years old, a single mum with a beautiful little girl, and many friends and family who love us all no matter where life leads us. But I didn’t feel the same way about myself. It’s easy to say, “love yourself first, and then love others”. But at the end of the day, I just didn’t have the energy or concern for me.

This retreat has brought me home. I feel happy, peaceful and clear. It’s from this place of love for myself, I have promised to live out my days.

Thank you Shelly, and your beautiful family.

My life is changed forever. Our lives are changed forever.”

“Some things are hard to put into words… and this is one of them.

In my heart, I was asking for change, and based on Shelly’s suggestion, I attended her retreat—I knew this was the time and the way to do it. Although fear (ego) set in, I walked through it, trusting and knowing I would be safe, guided, and find love at the end of it. And this came to pass!

Another healthier, happier chapter begins in my life, as I have peeled off more layers of energy and patterns that no longer serve me.

If you are fearful, lonely, feeling anxious, searching for peace of mind, or in any kind of pain, follow your heart’s calling and have an experience that will truly bring about permanent, deep transformation.

It is a privilege and blessing to know Shelly, and experience her amazing gifts.”

“When I went to Besakih Temple to meditate with a small group of people and Shelly, it was an experience I will never forget.

We meditated with the Mangku on different levels of the temple, each corresponding to one of the body’s chakras. At each level, I could feel intense warmth in the area of my body, corresponding to the level we were meditating on.

After our last meditation on the top level, Shelly touched my forehead and back whilst the Mangku squeezed one of my toes. Instantly, a great energy began in my core and spread throughout my body, causing it to shake. This was not an unpleasant experience; when the Mangku touched my toes again, it happened for the second time. When it finished, I experienced the most peaceful feeling of my life. I felt so connected to nature, as if I could float away into the clouds. The Mangku explained that because my chakras were clear, the earth’s energy was flowing through my body.

I would recommend doing this with Shelly to receive the gift of a greater understanding of yourself and meditation.”

“Shelly’s workroom does not have designer furniture, cushions, objects, or works of art; it is not air conditioned; and the dreaded roller lurks against the wall… and yet I love this place. It is sacred, and it is safe. It is a place of sanctuary and discovery, a place where I come home to me. And while I am there, this room is mine. There are no expectations for me to be one way or another. Whatever I do or say, I am met with the constancy of Shelly’s love, her extraordinary capacity to perform the work she does, and always an acceptance of whichever part of me shows up on the day.

Sessions with Shelly are an invitation to do my work, to see things differently, to understand more fully, to heal, and to love. It is up to me which invitations I accept and how much I am willing to participate. And wherever I am willing to go, Shelly unflinchingly goes with me.

So precious is this place and this woman, so vital is this time and this work for my healing and understanding, for my spirit and my sanity, that I do not think of it in terms of any cost, or inconvenience, or hardship. It is simply a must in my life. I would unhesitatingly get myself there were I ever in need—no matter from where, no matter how much it cost. I know the feeling of the love and the healing, and of coming ever closer to the truth of who I really am, in every cell of my being.

Shelly’s calm certainty and the space she makes for me in her heart, as well as in her room, have made it possible to deal with crises in my life in ways that have caused no harm to myself or others, and which have left me with a much more open heart, and a lot less emotional pain.

The most profound gift of working with Shelly is knowing that I am the mistress of creating safe and sacred space for myself and others. To speak my truth and keep my heart open is my purpose—whatever, whenever, whoever.

Thank you, room! Thank you, Shelly!”

“My experience of the Besakih temple tour was that it moved me spiritually, and the amazement of what the Mangku knew was breathtaking. The wisdom of philosophy, the chakras, and meditating on different levels of our physical consciousness made for a very moving experience. I feel that our guidance from both the Mangku and Shelly was very powerful; for the prayers and ceremonies we performed, especially for my daughter. The emotions that I released during that time allowed me to let go of all the pain and hurt I had been carrying for many years.

I would like to recommend Shelly for her work in this area of my life and for the lives of many others. She is very intuitive and caring, with a deep understanding of life’s issues.

Thanks, Shelly. Sending blessings of love and light.”

“Visiting a huge, ancient, and active temple is memorable, informative, and fascinating in itself. However, a visit with Shelly is much more than that.

When you experience these ancient rituals and meditations on this holy ground with Shelly and the Mangku, it will move you and stay with you forever.

The soul longs to be met at its own level—spoken to in its native language. In our busy Western lives, it rarely gets this opportunity. A trip with Shelly to the temple does just that—speaks directly to the soul and spirit, nourishing and enlivening them.

The experience will be profound and will remain with you. I encourage you to take the opportunity and attend.”

“I had such an amazing time with Shelly at her Bali Soul Revival Retreat.

Shelly provides such a warm, safe, and nurturing space for you to heal and grow. I love that Shelly works intuitively, and the retreat was not structured to a specific timetable. We went with the flow! Lovely grounding work, breathwork, movement, massages, and energy healing left me feeling blissed out and truly grateful.

It was all organised extremely well too. A truly memorable experience. I also made beautiful friends and look forward to seeing them and Bali again!

Thank you, Shelly. You’re awesome :)”

“I was given the opportunity to attend a Bali retreat in October. I didn’t know what to expect; I’ve been to a number of retreats and workshops in the past, but never in Bali.

I was excited about going, and then my resistance kicked in and I started questioning myself: I can’t afford it! Is it the right time for me? Maybe I should just hold off for now? Wow, what a mistake I nearly made.

I have known Shelly for about 15 years now, and her work has always been amazing. However, experiencing all that she has to offer in Bali, and the gentle, nurturing way in which Shelly operates, is experienced tenfold in the calm and spiritual hospitality of Bali.

From the moment I was greeted by Shelly and her assistant, I was welcomed with open arms.

Thank you for putting the beat back into my heart, the rhythm into my soul, and for the wonderful friendships I made while on the retreat.”

“In August 2012, I was lucky to participate in Shelly’s first-ever Bali retreat. I left Australia tired, overworked, and overstretched, filled with the woes typical of our Western lifestyle.

The retreat was simply divine—sharing with a beautiful group of women and with Shelly—a lovely mix of spiritual work, movement, laughter, and care: sharing mind, body, and soul. Add to that twice-daily pampering, consisting of massages, facials, hot stone therapy, and a long list of things to relax and soothe. All of this was surrounded by the lush beauty and serenity that is Bali.

I have returned home at peace, filled up, and with a simple yet profound paradigm shift that I know will serve me well.

Thanks so much to Shelly, the group of women I am now proud to call friends, and the Balinese people.

Once again, simply divine.”

I have known Shelly for many years, and I am still amazed by her knowledge and understanding of her energy work and her growth in wisdom.

It doesn’t matter whenever I need to go to Shelly; it always seems to be the right time. It is time for another release of energy, and I always feel so much better after a session. She is always approachable and a great listener. I can highly recommend her.

I am very happy to know Shelly, and I am truly grateful for her gifts of healing with love.

Thanks, Shelly.
Blessings, love, and light.

“We recently attended the one-day workshop for couples. For me, the measure of how good the workshop was—based on my very reluctant husband (who tried to pull out even the day before)—is that he enjoyed it! He even asked if there were any more courses we could do!

I also want to say that I enjoyed the format, where we worked on ourselves in the morning and with partners in the afternoon. I was pleased that we felt comfortable with the other couples, which was great, and we even had lots of laughs.

At the end of the day, I felt like I had really spent time with my husband—a lot of time. When you first meet someone, you are really focused on each other and almost forget everything else in life, and that is how I felt in the afternoon. It was as if, in one hour I had spent many hours with my husband, just us. It was really nice.

The biggest benefit for me, is that he is more affectionate towards me now, which I am very happy about!

So thank you. We are definitely keen to do more!”

“I have been a client of Shelly since February 2001. Through regular work with Shelly, I have experienced firsthand her expertise, her dedication to my personal evolution, and her heartfelt connection to the universal energy.

My background in education, business, and management kept me in my head for most of my life; unaware of the patterns that kept me separate from others, and more importantly from myself. The crisis resulting from the breakdown of a significant relationship 13 years ago, was the catalyst for the search for myself. I read many self-help books, engaged with various ‘new age’ practices, enquired into other religious philosophies, and tried psychological counselling. After all this, I found my behaviour patterns inherently remained unchanged; rendering these approaches minimally effective. Life patterns were simply repeating themselves.

I then came upon Bodymind Psychotherapy, and a gifted body-worker and therapist—Shelly Towns. She has helped me open up my own life force by penetrating blocks I held in my body and hence my psyche. The most amazing results for me have been a deeper knowledge of myself, a more authentic connection with the people in my life, and a growing heart relationship with the universal energy of God. Once I connected to my own energy, I could start to connect with that of everyone around me. This has been a most precious gift to myself. I feel more deeply. I am now connected with people from a real place (not an ego place), and I see life from a new vista.

I can attest to the skills, compassion, and huge commitment that describe Shelly. Her tireless dedication to my life’s journey, through our process work together, is testimony to who she is as a person, a leader, and a healer. I would highly recommend Shelly’s work, which is supported by her integrity as a person, and her amazing capacity to hold a space for those she heals. She has been a gift to my life’s journey.”

“Shelly has a gift—not just the gift of being a beautiful person with true leadership qualities, or the inspiring role model of a strong, independent, empowered, yet gentle, giving and compassionate woman.

Her gift is an innate, God-given, divinely inspired ability to heal others with her deep muscle bodywork and body psychotherapy. I know this because I have been lucky enough to have had extensive personal hands-on experience of her gift, and how it has transformed my life.

I started seeing Shelly sporadically from the beginning of 1999, but when I began to see the wonderful healing occurring from her sessions, I began to see her regularly, on her once-monthly visits to Perth.

She holds an amazingly sacred space in her workroom—a feeling of peace and safety that can actually be felt when you step into the room. It is a testament to her integrity, love, and the presence of God, Spirit, and divinity in her work.

When things aren’t flowing in my life, Shelly has been able to pinpoint with divinely inspired accuracy what and where my energy is blocked and held in my body—energy that has been suppressed from certain childhood traumas and experiences. Through her bodywork, I have been able to release the pain, fear, anger, and suppressed emotions, freeing me from the negative effects of traumas and experiences forever.

Her ability to perceive and move this blocked energy in my body and energy field and to release it, enabling it to flow back through my body, has had amazingly profound healing effects in my life, and in my ability to love and connect with other people. Each session leaves me feeling lighter, freer, happier, and more in touch with who I am as a person, why I have come here, and what I have to give to the world.

After visiting Albany in November 1999 and also over the new year, and having more frequent sessions with Shelly during that time, as well as attending one of her profound and inspiring bi-monthly Energetic discussion evenings, I began to realise intuitively that it would be of great benefit to my healing if I actually moved to Albany for a period of time and saw Shelly on a more frequent basis—i.e., weekly or fortnightly.

When a friend “coincidentally” needed her house in Albany looked after for a few months while travelling overseas, I didn’t hesitate to move down to Albany, and it has been amazing. The healing has compounded with the more frequent sessions, and I almost feel like a different person to the one who came down to Albany just a few short months ago.

I can’t put into words just how grateful I feel in knowing Shelly, and in being able to experience the gift of her healing hands and presence over the last year. Both have helped to release my pain, brought back joy and love into my life, and have led me to become a whole, happy and functioning individual once again.

An individual who has transformed with the help of Shelly’s gift. From a shy, introverted, fearful, closed, and rigid person, to a much more loving, open, giving, trusting, and physically and emotionally free and expressive being. A being that can make her dreams become a reality—dreams that were once seen as just that; “dreams”. I am becoming free at last. Free to be what I always wanted to be. Free to be me. And in being free to be me, I am now finally giving to the world my own special gift; my singing. So it is not just me that my sessions with Shelly have affected. With the snowball effect of what my healing can give to others, and what all her other client’s healing can give, Shelly’s work is reaching out into the community, eventually even out into the world, helping to make all our lives—and this world—a happier, more joyful, and loving place for everyone to live in.

Thank you, Shelly.”

“When I first went to see Shelly, I was literally dying inside. My heart and soul had been shattered. I was in so much pain—physically, emotionally, and mentally—that I could not even walk, let alone live. My whole reason for life had been taken from me and fallen apart. I longed for death to save me from this misery of life. It was not that I’d sat around and did nothing to help myself; no way. I had been seeing a psychiatrist for two years and an excellent psychologist for more than ten years. I attended many workshops, body and breath work, even Louise Hayes book on mind over matter, positive thought therapy, and read many self-help books. I attended groups of various sorts, and as a Christian, I spent many hours with not only my priest, but a local Bishop. All these avenues did help, yet I at my core, I was still suffering badly.

My story is long, complicated, traumatic, and deeply sad. However, I am not here to tell you those details, I am here to say, in all honesty, thanks to Shelly’s help, the deep pain I lived with, has been lifted, and my life has not only been saved—I am now living it. I can now connect to a deep peace that assists me daily. So what was it that Shelly was able to do that others could not? That’s a really good question. All I can do is give you my own truth and understanding of how Shelly helped me.

When I first visited Shelly, I had no idea of what to expect. It was suggested to me by my brother, who has lymphoma cancer and is in miraculous remission, to seek an energy healer. Shelly spent time talking to me, and straight away I felt accepted, warts and all, and felt like I was a worthwhile human. I believe that Shelly is able to connect on a spiritual and energy level to deliver to me a massive amount of love and true compassion. Shelly works on an energy level—the pure energy of divine love. This helps the body and spirit/soul to release the pain from within, giving the cellular memory a chance to heal and reprogram.

The body and soul hold their own memories, even after the rational mind has seemingly acknowledged and dealt with its issues. Shelly’s spirit, soul, and energy, connected to mine at that deepest level. I was not suddenly transported to some weird state; I was gently loved back into being as the negative fell away.

Shelly’s gift is divinely given—it is not unique, nor does she claim it to be. Shelly has a deep desire to heal, love, listen, advise, and nurture. Shelly’s ability to transmute all the negative energy within is amazing and is the gift of true love and compassion.

Change did not happen overnight. Mind you, after my first session with her, I was able to walk again. I saw Shelly for weekly appointments for a year, and after each session with her I grew stronger, healthier, wiser, and happier—even joyful at times. Shelly has always been readily available to help me when I was scared and alone.

I will always be truly grateful to Shelly for helping me live life once more.

I believe she is an Angel with skin on.”
