What it is

It's an intuitive read. I happen to do mine through photos.

Two decades of image consulting, personal branding, depth psychology and hypnotherapy taught me what makes people tick. Being highly empathic taught me the rest. I feel what's running under the surface of a person, and I say it back to them.

I can't fully explain the mechanism. I can tell you what happens: people hear things about themselves that no one close to them has ever put into words, and then they book another one.

Book one at a crossroads, to mark a transition, or when you need reminding of who you are and what makes you shine.

"Wow. How does she SEE me so clearly? Tied with, I'm so glad I finally did this."

What five photos say about you

You already know some of it. The rest is the part you can't see from inside your own life.

Until I'm fully in the moment with your photos, I don't know what I'll see, hear or feel. No two reads are alike, and the insights don't begin until I turn my camera on. But this is the ground it tends to cover.

The energy you lead with

What hits me first when I open your photos. The drive, the focus, the softness, the thing you're broadcasting before you say a word, and which parts of you are running the show right now.

The part you keep hidden

There's usually a side of you that's been buried under how capable you are. I name it, and I tell you what it costs you to keep it down there.

The pattern you're inside of

Control. Over-giving. Hiding. Unrelenting standards. The loop you can't see from inside it, where it came from, and what it's protecting.

Your work and your people

What I pick up about your business, your positioning, the dynamics in your relationships, and where your energy is leaking out of both.

What to do about it

Three to five things you can actually act on. Not a framework. The specific next move for the specific person I just spent time with.

How to receive it

I start every read the same way: listen neutrally, and come back to it in a week, then again in three. Awareness works like water on a plant. It takes a minute to reach the roots.

Sometimes what you need isn't another tool or framework. It's to be seen deeply. That's the whole thing I do.

Before and after

Almost everyone hesitates first.

I asked 45 clients what held them back before booking, and what they'd say to someone considering it now. These are their answers, side by side.

Before

"It felt kind of woo and I didn't understand how someone could really give me clarity based on pictures."

After

Just do it. Set aside skepticism, and knowing you feel the pull towards it, you'll get so much value.

Before

"No one has the ability to read me from a photo. It would be broad generalization that can apply to anyone. Younger me would not have participated."

After

It was money well spent, and I'd like to do another one to see how it has changed. Sometimes it's hard for us to see inward.

Before

"I was afraid Shauna would see me for the fraud I fear I am."

After

An Energy Read will serve you in ways you cannot fathom yet.

Before

"I was worried I was throwing money away."

After

It sounds hokey, and you should give it a try. Shauna knows her stuff and is terrific at feeling the energy.

Before

"There's fear in being seen. Which is the exact reason I wanted one, but there's still hesitation in taking action in vulnerability."

After

Do it. Any time we can get a big picture view and feedback about ourselves, it's so valuable. I was hesitant only for my own self doubts. It's SO worth it.

Before

"I was skeptical about the process, even though I have a lot of experience working with my own intuition and other intuitive modalities."

After

I was amazed at how spot-on and insightful her observations were from just my photos.

What surprised me

They keep coming back to it.

It becomes a grounding resource. On the days they feel scattered or off, they play the video again to remember who they are, and then they get on with their day.

Day one

"I watched the video as soon as I received it. I put down my pen and just watched and listened."

That first week

"I've listened to mine like 8 times already."

Three months later

"Things hit with a much more loving and confirming tone, that I was on the right path."

A year later

"I still use her insights to measure my progress toward what I'm really desiring."

And every day since

"I still think about the things you said at least once or twice every single day."

You send photos. I record. It lands in your inbox.

Four or five recent ones. Professional, candid, solo, or with people you love. Full instructions come with your booking.

Love notes from some of the 325+ people who've had their energy read.

These arrived by text, DM, email, and feedback survey after the video landed. Unedited, in their words.

Once again, completely blown away and in tears because I feel so understood, which I haven't been in a very long time.
I am still talking about my photo read. It's the best investment I have done for myself in a long time.
I had a photo read last September and it was honestly so impactful that I STILL think about the things you said at least once or twice every single day.
Your photo read was truly one of the best things I ever gifted myself.
This photo read has shifted everything. The energy I'm in now is so different from where I've been. Hearing you call that out, give language to it, give context to it, and talk me through how to best use it has made me go from tired, exhausted, and depleted to energized and excited.
The photo read you did of me and my husband was so incredible. It cleared so much old energy that kept repeating itself and brought so much clarity. Since that reading that pattern has completely disappeared. So grateful!
How wild will it be if I say that my reading changed my life? Literally, so corny and 100% true.
I am almost at a loss for words. I watched the video as soon as I received it, and I took your first words to heart: slow down, listen neutrally. I put down my pen and just watched and listened.
I was absolutely blown away by my photo read. It was spot on, practical and relevant. I think about your reading several times a week.
I am blown away. Truly just speechless. I started crying within the first few minutes. It's like I finally felt understood without having to explain what I was feeling.
Thank you so much. I think this is one of the most amazing gifts I have ever received. You were spot on with everything, and yes that is my husband lol. I don't think I have ever felt so seen and you don't even know me.
Hey! I just spoke to my sister and she is so blown away by her photo read. You totally nailed her personality and energy.
The benefits of the insights you shared continue to roll out even weeks after receiving the read. A dynamic popped up just this week, and I handled it in such a different way and we cleared it so fast. This was something that would have lingered for weeks.
Wow, this was so beautiful to wake up to this morning. It felt so good and so validating to have the facets of myself that I have a hard time putting into words: the depth, the darkness, the whimsy.
Before I go to bed tonight I have to share how in less than a week from my photo read you have impacted my life tremendously.
I wanted to send you a note sharing how impactful your photo read was for me and my marriage. There has been a huge energetic shift and release since your photo read. I knew I needed help getting there and you were able to see these extremely deep, subtle layers.
Hearing external confirmation of the integrated space and energy I'm in felt really good and gave me extra confidence as I get ready to launch a new project. The ability to see my potential blocks or missteps ahead of time is so valuable.
Holy cow! You hit the nail on the head with so many things.
Oh my goodness Shauna, that was incredibly helpful, beyond what I expected. You are so on the mark with how I've been focused on what my business will take instead of what it will give. And that has held me back.
Thank you so much for doing this for me. You were spot on in all of it. Truly, it's a gift. I'll certainly be reaching out again.
You are so gifted and I'm in awe of your ability to see and understand things on such a nuanced level. People need to know that your Photo Reads can be useful for so many aspects of their lives: marriage, business, children, family.
Wow, Shauna, you hit the nail on the head. I am going through a huge season of change, not just business. Thank you for giving me confirmation that I don't need to have the answers now.
Loved my photo read Shauna! I've watched it at least 5 times.
Hands down, that was the most potent reading of my life. You nailed subtleties only my closest 2 friends know. Thank you a million times over for having the courage to share this gift.
Oh my goodness, it blows me away how accurate your reading was. You knew basically my whole personality from 4 pictures and that's amazing.
Wow! This was incredible, and hearing you talk about me was as if you had known me for years. You were spot on and I'm a little mind-blown.
Oh my gosh, I'm sitting here in my car with tears (good ones) in my eyes as I listened. Some of the things you said were so deep and so true and how I feel. I literally nodded along and laughed in parts too.
I second guessed myself about doing this because I was afraid I'd hear something I wasn't ready for. But I think that was my ego talking, the part that wants to protect me. I really needed someone to say those things to me. To hold up a mirror.
I give readings myself, and I have a lot of energetic protection up because I generally don't like people reading my field, so I'm sure you felt that at the beginning. Everything you said was right on point.
WOW Shauna, thank you for being so generous with what you picked up. Insanely on the mark and like drinking from a fire hose. I got goosebumps and I teared up.
Shauna is pure magic. I've experienced deep breakthroughs and shifts every single time I have hired her. She has an incredible gift for seeing people and excavating what you didn't even know was needed.
You said I have been in a state of emotional exhaustion, that I'm in an identity shift, feeling disjointed with some of my relationships, and that this season is about restoring what was depleted. Yes, yes and yes. All true.
You mentioned that something happened that changed things and I am having to deal with it. That life had forced me into a position in the last 2 years. You were right, it has been exactly 2 years this month.
Yes, all definitely true. I even control, study, work hard on, obsess about my ability to let go of control. It's my go-to strategy. I could feel my body spinning at the beginning, knowing you're correct.
I have actually listened to this twice because it really did hit home. I never realized what I was doing, but you are correct: I have spent my life putting on hats. All of those pieces of my personality are different, and I don't often allow one to spill into the other.
You absolutely hit the nail on the head in everything. Like you said, there were things I didn't know I was doing until you pointed them out, and I can see them now.
You totally got me. I have 3 kiddos and motherhood has been a hard space for me to fill because I feel like I completely lost my identity. I got teary right before you did, so I'm amazed at how you picked up on it.
Thank you for such a quick reading. I am blown away, truly speechless. I started crying within the first few minutes. It's like I finally felt understood without having to explain what I was feeling.
Wow. She just gave me the missing piece.
You'll get more from this than months of therapy.
WTF. How does Shauna know me so well? She is an effing witch, LOL.
I felt so seen right from the start, and the reminders of my deepest value restored me and reconnected me with truths I had taken for granted.
You picked up on something I was NOT aware of but that was 100% true: that I was kind of hiding. It was an immediate aha that deepened over time and is still something I'm constantly checking in with.
She's right about absolutely everything, and I need to listen to that ten more times.
I still think about her insights from a photo read over a year ago and use them to measure my progress toward what it is I'm really desiring, which is to be fully seen.
She feels like a best friend that really gets you. I have had about three reads, and each one taught me exactly what I needed in that very moment.
Just be prepared: she isn't going to tell you what you want to hear, she's going to tell you what you need to hear.
I want one of these EVERY year forever, and I recommended it to friends and family immediately.
It's the best thing you never knew you always needed.
I kept pausing the video, saying wow, ok, ok. Immediately happy heart, cup full for myself, type of feeling.
I listened to your message over and over on my drive. You are incredible. You were so spot on with everything. Honestly mind blowing. I had a feeling before even seeing this video that I was meant to hear what you had to say.
Questions

It'd be weird if you didn't have questions.

Fortune-telling, no. Intuitive, yes. This is deep attunement, keen perception, and years of pattern recognition from harnessing my energetic sensitivity alongside fifteen-plus years of working closely with people.

Any that feel recent and real. Don't overthink it, they're just a way for me to connect with you. Professional, candids, solo, or with friends. Let them reflect your life now. Details on best practices come with your booking.

Your energy introduces you before you say a word. Having no background or backstory lets me see you with fresh eyes and an open heart. I tune into what your presence already whispers, which is sometimes clearer to a stranger than to ourselves.

I value both and advocate for them. An Energy Read works at a different angle: it illuminates unconscious energy patterns, an energetic blueprint of what's shaping your path. Clients tell me it surfaces blind spots that might otherwise take months or years, and that it works well alongside the support they already have.

Imagine a room where the lights have been dim for years, and someone slowly turns up the dimmer. You start seeing details you hadn't noticed: artwork on the walls, cherished photographs, a few cobwebs in the corners. That gentle illumination can make you nervous at first, and there's something relieving about finally seeing the whole room. I'm not here to judge your cobwebs or rearrange your furniture. I'm adjusting the light.
