Shiranda has a rich background of more than 20 years in teaching and counseling and in addition, has more than 20 years experience working with alternative natural energy healing therapies that readily compliment both traditional and alternative medical practices. The foundation of her work is "conscious change". These include extensive training with the developers of Transformational Kinesiology (TK)®, The Reiki System of Natural Healing and The TRAGER® Approach. She has a Masters Degree in Education Counseling from The Ohio State University. Shiranda is a Reiki Master-Teacher whose classes are expanded due to her professional and personal study and practice.
The study and practice of "A Course in Miracles" engaged her twenty-five years ago and has been Shiranda's most valued guide. She has been involved with New Thought Christianity (Unity and Science of Mind), Christian Science, The Ageless Wisdom Teaching, and the books of a handful of modern mystics such as Joel Goldsmith, Emily Cady and Emmet Fox. Truly, a door opened to another relationship with God in 1980, when 12-Step Programs encouraged her to "define God in your own terms". Shiranda has come to believe that Life, Love, Truth and God are a silent, inner awareness that transcends any value we would ascribe to physical life.
