SHEMANA
Shemana was established in 2013 by Anna And Jaymie.Their passion for bringing sacred space, rituals and intentions into a daily practise, Inspired their creation of this Byron Bay Skincare Elixir Company.
During the Northern Rivers floods earlier this year, they set up a pop up recovery centre to support the local volunteers. Gathering an amazing team of bodyworkers to massage, and reset as many nervous systems as possible.This brought worlds together as Anna's Team of Mandara Trainers fused their magic into the world, with this portal open they found a temple ... and House of Shemana was brought into being.
"Shemana's Wellness Space for Massage, KaHuna, Meditation, CranioSacral, Rituals of Bodywork, Mandara Trainings, & Sacred Events."
The House of Shemana Team includes Masterful Bodyworkers, Teachers and Elixir Makers - We would love to Introduce you to them here
