Shanti O'Connor

Shanti O’Connor is an intuitive healer, therapist, and grief tender who helps people reconnect with their inner truth, heal emotional wounds, and awaken to a deeper sense of purpose. For nearly two decades, she has guided clients through transformational healing that blends psychotherapy, intuitive insight, and spiritual wisdom.

Known for her natural psychic abilities and empathic sensitivity, Shanti is able to see and feel the deeper energetic patterns that shape a person’s emotional, relational, and spiritual life. She intuitively perceives ancestral trauma, past-life influences, and energetic blockages, helping clients release what no longer serves and realign with their authentic essence.

Shanti’s work bridges psychology and spirituality, offering grounded, compassionate guidance for those navigating grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or spiritual awakening. Her sessions are trauma-informed and heart-centered, creating a safe and sacred space for profound healing and self-discovery.

She studied grief ritual and community healing with Sobonfu Somé and has co-facilitated yearly grief ceremonies since 2019, helping individuals and communities honor loss and reconnect with life. Shanti is also the creator of Rooted in Love—a six-week couples journey that teaches presence, vulnerability, and conscious communication.

Whether working with individuals, couples, or groups, Shanti’s intuitive gifts and therapeutic skill help people find clarity, inner peace, and renewed connection to their soul’s path.
