Compassionate Self-Healing Testimonials
Dani Shipley
It was a long and winding road which brought me to working with Priya.I had been sick on and off my whole life. At times being mostly bedridden. I had been diagnosed with many different autoimmune conditions over the years from Chronic Fatigue, to Meniere’s Disease, and most recently with MCAS and HEDS. My symptoms included, brain fog, headaches, nausea, vertigo, joint pain, IBS, rashes, and hearing loss.
I had found ways of eating, and caring for myself that kept me at times feeling stable and at times didn’t seem to help at all. But even in the stable times I always felt so fragile and limited, like I was balancing on the head of a pin. If I slipped up in any direction I would fall off and feel terrible again. I had even become trained in doing shadow work as I felt instinctively that was where I would find true healing. I was convinced that my life trauma was directly connected to my experience of illness.
When I first came across this work of The Reconnected Self, I was drawn to the structure of Compassionate Self-Healing for doing that which I had been calling shadow work. Upon meeting Priya I immediately felt safe and held by her kindness and ability.
Over our weeks of working together my life changed.
Not only have my symptoms disappeared including my mental health symptoms of anxiety and depression, but I have found a vitality I haven’t felt in years. There is a calm in my body, in my nervous system now I am so grateful for. I feel reborn at 58, I can actually live a whole life now, not the limited painful existence I had before.
Priya was an amazing guide through this process, she is so bright and caring and capable.
I wish everyone who needs this healing will find their way here.

Over the last few years, I have been on a healing journey that ultimately led me to Priya.For 30 years, I have battled chronic illness, adding more autoimmune conditions along the way.
I was constantly trying different diets, fasting, supplements—but nothing worked. Instead, I simply found my life getting smaller and smaller. I felt stuck and was losing hope that I would ever truly heal.
Discovering compassionate self healing and Priya felt like finally finding the piece I had been searching for.
Working with Priya has been one of the most powerful things I have done for myself. Through "the work," it feels as though I have rediscovered the person I once was—someone I could barely remember. I have expanded into myself in ways I didn’t think were possible, and I now feel freer, stronger, and happier than I have in years.
This journey has not only supported my physical healing but has also helped me reconnect with who I truly am. I am now symptom-free and tapering off long-term medication. I am deeply grateful for this experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Priya to anyone seeking meaningful, lasting change.

Since working with Priya the changes in me have been totally transformative. I had a lifetime of chronic and ongoing health conditions where I would get diagnosed with one thing, get that sorted (mostly) and then another new set of symptoms would crop up seemingly out of nowhere. My diet and lifestyle became more and more rigid and joyless in response to this, and I ended up with an ankle that wouldn’t heal after falling down some stairs at work as well as joint and sleep issues amongst others. This put me into a dark place of endless googling for what was wrong, spiralling symptoms and increasing isolation.
Since working with Priya the health improvements have been incredible. My lifetime constipation has gone, I can sleep again (after years of very bad insomnia), I am finally losing weight without trying at all. I can eat dairy and other foods I had intolerances to and even my hair is growing back! Most importantly my life has opened up again and I have so much more capacity to live the life I want. I’m looking forward to the future now rather than worrying I will always be chronically ill.
However the most important change has been how I have come to know myself, in a way I just didn’t understand before (and that was one of the things at the root of my chronic illness). I now have boundaries, no longer have terrible anxiety, can advocate for myself and have an ease with accepting myself just as I am that simply wasn’t there before CSH. Compassionate Self-Healing has worked better for me than any other therapy (and I’ve previously done intensive counselling and talking therapy).
Priya held space for me and made me feel completely safe as we worked though some quite extensive trauma for my past, and in dealing with these stored emotions (that I had no idea were still there) this has made me re-see myself and the world through totally new eyes. Now my autoimmune conditions are gradually turning themselves off, and I’m already off medications that I was put on for life. For anyone on a journey of self discovery and actualization (with or without chronic illness) I can’t recommend Priya and CSH enough.
Emotional Release Testimonials
I was in a really low place when I began sessions with Priya 6 months ago and after exhausting every other type of therapy, I’ve found the sessions with Priya truly transformative. I feel like a different person. Priya holds space so beautifully and powerfully and our monthly sessions have allowed me to work through deep rooted blocks, limiting beliefs and depression/anxiety. I recommend Priya and her work to everyone I know as I really do believe the work she’s doing is so powerful and beneficial to our individual healing journeys.

I have had a really good experience with my neo emotional release therapy sessions with Priya. I find her to be very professional and knowledgeable. She is a good listener and empathetic. I was reserved at first trying a new therapy but after the first session I felt really comfortable with the way she held the space well and made me feel very comfortable and at ease to be as expressive as I wanted. I would recommend her to anybody looking for inner child healing I have had a really great experience.
I would recommend really being prepared to dive deep emotionally and expressively release anything that comes up for the best outcome. I also found after some sessions that traumas from the past continued to come up and I experienced more emotional release even after the sessions.
