Shana Chivon
Shana Chivon is a multi-passionate change agent who carries a mandate for liberation, a heart for progress, and a desire to disrupt the status quo. While navigating her own journey, Shana discovered a calling and passion for ensuring that the socially excluded, oppressed, and marginalized have equitable access to wellness, wholeness, and healing. As a Usui Reiki Master, a highly sought-after speaker, a racial justice educator, and a licensed minister, Shana recognizes that healing is not a linear journey and often requires a more intuitive and personalized approach. She strives to cultivate engaging environments for people to grow and thrive by going beyond love and light toward radical liberation, radical rest, radical joy, and radical wellness through education, collective care practices, and healing modalities.
