Tanya Pavlick
​Reiki & Shamanic Practitioner
I am the founder of Soul Integration, a transformational approach that weaves together Shamanic Reiki, intuitive guidance, spiritual mentoring, and natural wellness to help people reclaim the truth of who they are. I am a Reiki Master Teacher, Shamanic Practitioner, Polarity Therapy Practitioner, intuitive, and natural health coach. I believe that our bodies hold wisdom, our spirits long to be heard, and our souls are always calling us home to ourselves. And I believe every soul carries a divine blueprint, a sacred remembrance of who we are before life's experiences of fear, grief, or trauma ask us to forget. Healing begins in sacred space where the soul reconnects with its own wisdom.
