Elaine La Joie is a shaman and certified life coach. She has been in private practice since 2002 helping Empaths heal old traumas and patterns so that they can create the lives and relationships that they really want.

Before Elaine opened her practice she worked at the University of Texas Austin in the psychology department and at the Oregon Medical Laser Center as a researcher. Elaine holds degrees in physics and applied physics. She realized a few years into this career path that she was jealous of the other researchers who loved their careers. This, plus a psychic opening led her in a completely new and unexpected direction.

Not wanting to advertise as a psychic, Elaine went into Life Coaching instead. She trained with Coach For Life, became certified, and then was horrified when all her clients started asking for readings or training. After a few more years of resistance Elaine trained with the Four Winds Society and later with Marv Harwood of Alberta Canada.

Elaine maintains a limited private practice so she can concentrate on writing. She lives in Oregon with her family.

Sharna works with clients internationally, helping them uncover the source of wounds and blockages so they can live freer, fuller and brighter lives. Using Reiki, meditation, and energy therapy, she facilitates a holistic journey toward healing. 

A Reiki Master, certified Say it Straight Communication Trainer, and certified Herbalist, Sharna also writes for MindBodyGreen on Reiki healing. A skilled and passionate teacher and facilitator, she has been leading groups, workshops and classes for over 15 years.
