	Shani Enns Energy Healing Born clinically dead, Shani Enns' body was being delivered to the morgue when life was suddenly and inexplicably breathed into her. This and other extraordinary experiences in early childhood endowed “The Miracle Baby” with sensitivities to subtle energy and realms beyond the third dimension. Shani was also instilled with a passion for helping people remember the true nature of their being - LOVE! Shani’s formal training began at age eight at the AUM Center in Southern California, where she studied for seven years. As an adult, she has studied and earned certifications in many healing modalities, but none were as unlimited as the gifts and lessons of spirit. In 2005, Shani found Joey Klein, and has been traveling and studying spirituality and healing with him ever since. Shani has also studied healing with Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Davi, the first female in over 5,000 years of lineage to receive the title Jagatguru, which means Master of the Universe.
