Shenayda started studying Astrology at the tender age of 19. At the age of 28, she met her teacher, Dr. Robert Gibson, and began her lifelong work. After attending his Mystery School, Shenayda emerged as a Shaman and began to teach various subjects included astrology, and Esoteric Soul Teachings. She taught multiple courses at SWIHA for 21 years.

In the first mystery school Shenayda learned about the conception and nature of service to others. Through her studies she became aware of numerous belief systems. Through her spiritual counseling she assists others to heal these beliefs to find peace and wholeness.

Shenayda has taken groups on three spiritual journeys to Egypt and the ancient pyramids, to explore the very beginnings of spiritual teachings. While visiting the Temple of Hathor, Shenayda observed the astrological wheel on the ceiling indicating the origins of astrology.

Shenayda is a Reiki Master and has traveled the world offering empower workshops for men and women.

Shenayda has a private practice, teaches various classes and workshops, offers a Shaman mentorship program, astrology readings and Reiki healing.
