Aruna Shields

Spiritual teacher & Therapist

Tailored counsel for discerning individuals

I offer a bespoke service to select clients who wish to rapidly expand in consciousness. You can have complete trust in my competence as a spiritual teacher and therapist with expertise in meditation, mindfulness, hypnosis and the awakening process. Half Indian, half English, with an earlier career as a film star, I blend global experience, depth and intuition with a profound understanding of the human journey.

Together we gain insights into the subtle patterns of behavior that shape your life, relationships and purpose. In a serene, powerful atmosphere any stress that is holding you back can be dissolved. I deeply care and everything you share will be held in a compassionate, highly confidential and sacred space.

You will gain expanded awareness and the ability to make intuitive, instinctual decisions. You will feel much lighter, connected to a deep intelligence and in a natural flow. You will rediscover yourself and be yourself...maybe for the first time. 

I have over 10 years experience in private practice and 3 years working in Malibu rehabs. My methods are intuitive, solution-focused and eclectic. I'm certified in Psychotherapy, Hypnosis and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) developed at Oxford University. I am also a Sidha (highly advanced meditator) able to perceive finer levels of reality; this is useful for blind spots and deeper perspectives on complex situations.

Your culture, faith or personal beliefs are fully respected and can be thoughtfully integrated into our work together.

I’m currently based in Los Altos, Silicon Valley, California. Private sessions (online or in-person) are available subject to application and availability.
