Shawna VandeBurgt
"Miracle Worker for all Beings"
Reiki Master, Certified Animal Communicator and Certified Emotion Code Practitioner
Sacred Souls & Paws was created from a deep calling to help people and animals feel heard, understood and supported at a soul level.
Through years of intuitive development and energy healing practice, I’ve witnessed how unprocessed emotions can quietly influence behavior, health and connection — in both humans and animals.
My work is rooted in compassion, clarity and respect for each being’s unique experience. I believe healing begins when we listen beneath the surface and allow the body and soul to release what they are ready to let go of.
It is an honor to support both people and animals on their healing journey.
SERVICES
Readings
Every animal and their situation is unique, so I offer a range of reading options to best meet your animal’s needs. From quick, focused insights to deeper, in-depth sessions, each tier is designed to help you better understand your animal, support their well-being, and strengthen the bond you share.
Energy Healing
Animal Reiki is a calming energy healing practice that helps animals relax, release stress, and return to a state of balance and harmony.
Emotional Healing
Emotion Code sessions gently release trapped emotions that may be affecting your animal’s well-being, restoring balance and helping them feel calmer, lighter, and more at ease.
Natural Support for You & Your Pets
From anxious pets to busy minds, our CBD products offer gentle support for calm, comfort, and balance. Carefully selected for both animals and humans, so everyone in your home can feel more at ease.
In-Person & Distance Sessions
Sessions are available both in person and via distance. Remote sessions are conducted at a scheduled time, where I focus on your energy field just as I would if you were physically present. Many clients are surprised by how deeply they feel the effects, even from afar. Energy work is not bound by location, making healing accessible wherever you are.
I Help People Too!
The same compassionate healing I offer to animals is also available for people. Using intuitive guidance, Reiki, and Emotion Code, I help clear emotional and energetic blockages so you can feel more balanced, grounded, and aligned.
Testimonials
“Shawna is an incredible Reiki healer with such a beautiful, calming energy. She has helped our rescue dog, Neela, release anxiety and overcome fears from her past.
Through her healing sessions, Neela has become more relaxed, confident, and balanced in her daily life.
Neela feels safe and comforted in Shawna’s presence and even seems to know when she’s coming before she arrives.
We are so grateful for the love and care Shawna brings to her work and highly recommend her Reiki and Animal Communication sessions for any pet’s wellness journey.”

“I’ve had truly wonderful and profound experiences with Shawna for several years. Her gentle, professional presence immediately puts you at ease, and she creates a safe, restorative space for deep healing and energetic alignment.
During my remote Reiki sessions, I felt a powerful sense of peace, warmth, and connection, and afterward I experienced lasting balance, clarity, and reduced stress. These sessions have been instrumental in my spiritual growth.
Shawna also worked with my beloved miniature pinscher, Zoe, helping bring increased calm, awareness, and vitality in her later years. I am eternally grateful for Shawna’s light, love, and guidance.”
