I had a wonderful reading from Shakti...her personal wisdom and knowledge of Astrology gave me a clear picture of my strengths and challenges, which helped me navigate through the upcoming changes in my life with more ease.

I had an evolutionary reading with you last full moon. I just wanted to thank you sooo much for it. It helped kick start a process of putting some of my fears to rest, by understanding that they are connected to matters of a past life and that that life is over with. Thank you for letting me know in which direction i need to move forward on a personal level in this life time. This reading happened at the right time as i am going through a process of deep re-evaluation and discovery. Thank you so much! Maria Berkova - artist and singer
Out of all the astrologers I have had readings with, Shakti provides more detailed information and intuitive guidance than anyone else. Her perception and understanding of astrology is evident and the way she brings the story of your life through the placement of the stars into perspective is easy to understand and a definite gift. Thank you for helping me to understand all the shifts going on now and in the future and how it will all benefit me.

Stunning! is all I can say regarding my evolutionary reading with Shakti a few days ago. Shakti's mastery of astrological knowledge, coupled with her intuitive ability related to the essence of my soul "issues" would have been impressive enough. However, she went even deeper, making suggestions for books and daily practices that would help with my integration and progression. A reading with Shakti is fun, informative, and definitely transformative! You will not be disappointed. Joanna Farina - Psychologist
Jewelry
Dear Shakti!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart fort his very special ring!
I slipped it on my finger and it felt like it always was there. It's a quiet ring, deep, dark in a positive way, the bamboo design anchors the stone. Unpretending, it reveals its beauty on the second look (for outsiders, not for me!). The stone changes with the light very lively, do I see a hint of gold through the stone from the setting?
I look at my hands now and I truly love the twin fold magic, the double opal on my middle finger. It is a ring that makes me instantly happy and upbeat, positive, strong and bold. I know I would be devastated loosing it. And I look on my left hand and my "new" ring just somehow always belonged to me. Just like saying, "Ah, there you are, where have you been all that time."
I feel so fortunate to have met you through your jewelry. I looked for years to find someone with such craftsmanship, eye for balance and simplicity in how to set and let a stone live. You and Will are true masters. And then the combination with astrology! Heavenly!
I am working on some of the advices and little hints you gave me while we met. Meeting you in person gave me some guidance and a push into a new? old? direction.I am thankful for it.
I was very encouraged that my instinctive choice for the stone was confirmed to be beneficial for my journey in life by your reading of my chart ... and your book is wonderful, I learn and learn. Fondly with all the best wishes and love, Eva Juengling (Australia)
When I saw one of Shakti’s ring designs, called 'Waves' with two sparkling diamonds, I was very taken by it. Shakti made this ring using an old technique called repousse. It just gave the ring something very unusual and attractive. I am originally from Austria and the composition, clarity of line and craftsmanship of Shakti's jewelry really appeals to me. She also made for me one of her trademark spiral clasps for a tourmaline necklace I already had. It looks fabulous now and I can even use the spiral for other necklaces as well. I love to wear the clasp a little to the side in the front so everybody can see it. Elisabeth Bluml, Maui
"Out of the Hawaiian tradition of wearing family-themed, commemorative bracelets, I thought of a bracelet. I worked with Shakti to design it, and she made a true work of art that has become a part of me."
Shakti's jewelry for me has been an adventure in learning about wealth, beauty and abundance. The first ring I got was small, and I was scared to spend that much money on myself, with a growing family and so many responsibilities. I told myself I would only do it if the money came from an unexpected source and did not take anything away from my family's needs. Toby Neal, Maui
"Sure enough, the money came: in gifts, in odd jobs, in unexpected tax windfalls."
It all started when Greg and I were looking for wedding bands and looked at all the jewelry on Maui. Shakti’s jewelry uniquely spoke to us, and she did our charts to see what stones would be most beneficial. I love the personal way she co-created the jewelry with us, letting us pick the stones to match our relationship and personal self-expression. I loved my wedding ring so much I went back to get a pair of earrings. I was challenged by the value of the piece, and I struggled with being able to afford such a lavish accessory for myself, but went ahead with the earrings and have enjoyed the sense of richness they give me when I wear them. My mother died, and instead of spending all my inheritance on bills, I wanted something to remember our troubled relationship in a positive way. Sharie Liden, Lanai
It is completely one of a kind, a magnificent cuff studded with precious gems wrapped in spirals, and I never tire of looking at it, and wear it every day. Every piece since has a special significance and has matched a process in my life: a move to another island, becoming a parent, learning to have courage and confidence in my professional roles, trusting my intuition and creativity, becoming a homeowner. The stones themselves seem to work as guides, supporting and demanding expression. Each piece has been about investing in art, beauty and personal growth.
