Meet The Owner

We all have a journey. The one I share most, is how my real-life experiences in the military, psychotherapy and education, jumpstarted a journey into holistic healing.

I'm Shanise - mom, retired Army veteran, and Chief Curator for JOHARI & LOU. I’m truly in love with all things mind + body but my specialty is in Chakra & Energy alignment w/crystals.

As 20+ years of leading soldiers came to an end, I found myself in need of a spiritual hiatus. Therapy, meditation, and energy opened doors that allowed me to heal trauma from tours of combat and personal conflict. The process was incredibly transformative! So much so, that becoming intimately involved in healing work to help others became my newest priority. I slowly worked on certifying in a few areas of integrative medicine. Some of my professional development in healing + self-care includes Ayurvedic Health through Chopra Global, Evidence Informed Practice in Ancient Healing Arts, Philosophy of Well-being as well as Psychoneuroimmunology (study of mind-body and immune system) with Maryland University of Integrated Health leading to formally study and receive a Baccalaureate Degree in Complementary & Alternative Health.
