About Shanna Rae-Ven

I am an energy healer and a soul midwife. I have a healing practice that provides these services, along with many others. My work as a caregiver goes hand in hand with my healing practice. As a soul midwife I assist people through the dying process, as well as life transitions. I am there for emotional, spiritual, and physical support and guidance for the dying and the loved ones. I also specialize in supporting and servicing people with dementia and their families. In addition to caring for individuals with Alzheimers or dementia, I also consult with families and caregivers on how to live and work with this disease through an approach of subtle energy, and in a way that benefits their loved one. I am empathic and intuitive and can tune in easily to the needs of others. I became a caregiver because a friend recommended the work and it turned out to be very suitable to me, naturally. I have spent most of my caregiving career working with alzheimers and dementia, as well as death and dying. Special work that I am honored to be doing.

I enjoy caregiving as a profession. I am mindful of the client's safety, ADLs & happy to assist. I enjoy keeping a tidy household, cooking meals and going on outings, walking or driving. Dependability and reliability are important to me. I am patient and flexible. If a care plan is in place I have experience following and guiding the client in a positive manner. I have been a caregiver all my life, with my parents (whom have both transitioned), my grown children & clients. It comes natural for me & I am often taking on line courses to advance my knowledge. Please feel free to call me with any questions! I look foward to meeting you. Thank you, Jamie
