Jonathan Shanks

Healer, Facilitator, Energy Worker

Jonathan Shanks is a Healer, Facilitator, and Energy Worker who guides individuals through profound personal transformation by blending traditional energetic and shamanic practices with modern somatic therapies. His work is rooted in the understanding that acceptance is the foundation for all healing, and he facilitates deep shifts for his clients that touch mind, body, and spirit.

After spending over two decades building a successful career in advertising and digital production, Jonathan experienced a series of pivotal awakenings in his thirties which completely redirected his life's purpose. Since 2016, he has immersed himself in studying multiple healing disciplines including Nutrition, Yoga, Embodied Movement, Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), and Family / Systemic Constellations. From 2022, his journey deepened further through extensive study with Shamans, Mystics, and Elders across Greece, South Africa, and the UK, learning how to honour and deliver indigenous practices through his own unique therapeutic lens.

Jonathan's methodology blends precise somatic and energetic awareness with embodied exploration of the shadow or subconscious self, accessing and reshaping these patterns through the mind and body rather than solely engaging through cognition. Using his body as an instrument, he detects and translates what emerges from the client’s system in a cascading, layered process.

His international practice serves clients from London to Johannesburg, with testimonials consistently highlighting profound transformation that occurs in sessions rather than over a period of months.

Jonathan’s areas of specialisation include working through sexual, physical, and emotional trauma, inherited intergenerational patterning, balancing nervous system dysregulation, and guiding individuals toward authentic self-expression and spiritual alignment.
