Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Deana Paqua about blending ancient wisdom with modern sensibility through shamanism.

Today on Shifts & Giggles: Conversations with Beth, I’m so excited to welcome a truly luminous and grounded soul—Deana Paqua.

Deana is a gifted and wise teacher, healer, and guide who has spent more than 22 years walking the path of holistic healing and spiritual exploration.

Through her work at Embody the Sacred, Deana blends ancient wisdom with modern sensibility, offering cross-cultural energy medicine, contemporary shamanism, Reiki, flower essence work, intuitive insight, and so much more.

What I love most about Deana is her ability to hold space in a way that’s both deeply sacred and refreshingly real. She brings her whole self—decades of study, life experience, compassion, and yes, even the occasional well-placed f-bomb—to help people heal, grow, and step into their soul’s purpose. Her clients and students describe her as down-to-earth, practical, and profoundly supportive—a true spiritual midwife for transformation.

Deana also shares her knowledge in the academic world as an adjunct professor at Western Connecticut State University, where she teaches about mind/body healing and cross-cultural approaches to health, and serves on the advisory board for the Institute of Holistic Health Studies.

Whether you’re a fellow healing arts practitioner, a sensitive soul navigating deep transformation, or someone who’s just curious about the mystical side of healing, you’re going to find so much wisdom, laughter, and heart in this conversation.

So settle in, open your heart, and get ready to embody the sacred with the amazing Deana Paqua.
