I feel like I have lived two different lives: the one before I awakened to my intuition and the joyful, fulfilling life I am now gratefully living. Despite an impressive resume—ivy league education, published author, and two beautiful children—I used to feel lost, overwhelmed, and anxious. My spiritual awakening began when I realized my unresolved personal issues were impacting my ability to be a supportive parent. This journey involved healing from my past, embracing my inner wisdom, and letting go of limiting beliefs. As my intuitive gifts blossomed, I discovered my ability to read people, understand their soul plans, and practice energy healing techniques.
Professionally, I hold a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Princeton and an M.A. in Counseling from Fairfield University. Today, as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor, I use my spiritual journey and intuitive abilities to help others awaken their own spiritual hearts, navigate life's challenges, and deepen their connection to their inner wisdom. I also offer Awakening Your Intuition retreats and my beautiful property, Cactus Blossom Retreat, in San Diego for retreat rentals.

2 months agoThe most beautiful place to experience a weekend getaway or in my case, the wedding of my dreams! The team was absolutely amazing and supported us through the entire process. We stayed with our family and hosted a small reception at this magical place. It couldn’t have been dreamier, the views are breathtaking, the nature is stunning, and the house itself is gorgeous. Thank you so much for hosting us and making this moment unforgettable!

3 months agoOur company CoCardio booked this retreat spot in March of 2025 and November 2025 and we've loved every moment at the property. Our clients felt very welcome and the space facilitated them to transform and grow in their own root cause journeys. Thanks to Victoria Shaw and her amazing team for the most comfortable stay and to be frank, would love to book this property for family events too in the future!!

3 months agoCactus Blossom was an absolutely enchanting venue for our women's retreat. The atmosphere fostered deep healing and growth during our sessions, offering a sacred and intentional space. The owner, Victoria, has done an incredible job creating a warm and beautiful environment that feels like a protected sanctuary. With a group of 13 women, including six elders, the setup was perfect; everyone felt comfortable and had their own bed. Each morning, we enjoyed sipping hot tea and coffee by the pool while witnessing the breathtaking desert sunrise, and the sunset views were nothing short of spectacular. Additionally, the property manager, Derek, was exceptional! He provided valuable insights and promptly addressed all our questions. We will definitely be returning!
