Meet Shaun

shaMan

I am a natural healer and have been since I was a child, learning to connect to the Divine at the age of 6. Some things I am rooted in: intuitive medicine Ceremonialist, Wholistic Wellness Coach, father, grounded empath, meditator, plant-lover, & energy worker. For many years I have trained and studied the indigenous ways of the Amazonian people to learn how to hold Shamanic Ceremony in these Sacred traditions and to carry the medicines of the jungle.

I invite you to receive my offering(s) & let go of what is limiting your life. Together we can shine a light on the path that will serve you in manifesting the life you were born to live.

I live my life in service to the Divine & Mother Earth; serving with an open mind and heart for the highest good of all. This open mind and heart is what I bring to you in service to your higher self as I support your process unfolding along with your journey.

MY HEARTFELT MESSAGE TO YOU

The foundation of what I do is establish authentic heart-centered connection and hold space for you to establish authentic connections in all facets of your Being & relationships; to truthfully connect to you on a pure soul level, where we can truly see.

I do this work by virtue of genuinely understanding the value of a helping heart, especially when needed the most. As I look back on my life at key points I have so much gratitude for those that offered me their hearts in pure service to my highest good, those that nurtured and nourished me when I couldn’t do it for my self and didn’t know how to.

My intention in our relationship is to collaborate with you in building a grounded and well-rounded wheel of life so that your ride is transcendentally enjoyable & full of peace, love + light.

I look forward to working with you, Divine Blessings.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

I’ve had 3 ceremonies with Shaun over the past 8 years and I’ve always come out on the other side a better person. Shaun is an extraordinarily talented intuitive energy worker. The space he creates is so beautifully safe. My first ceremony was 8 years ago…2 months after the stillbirth of my daughter. I had been so choked up inside from a fear of my Mother and trying to be perfect for her, as nothing I ever did was good enough, even to the point where I was afraid she would steal my baby, as her mother stole hers. I came to that ceremony to forgive her for the fear inside me that also choked the life out of my baby girl a week before her due date. I saw Shaun listen to some of my story through his eyes, but the story on my lips puttered off as his soul spoke to me instead. Behind the noise, Shaun is holding your hand and guiding you to the light that is heaven on earth. He had a yellow glow and told me how he saw the mother in me as I’d been going around and checking on people, comforting them before he could get to them. And he did get to them seconds after me. It was an intuition parade. I was able to conceive again 2 weeks later and I had my son the following year with a lot less fear and much healthier boundaries. My second ceremony I watched many other people have amazing transformations with Shaun’s guidance. I went into the ceremony talking about my low self worth and money block. During the ceremony I saw Shaun as glowing green. My intention of curing my relationship with money melted and all I could focus on, for good reason, was my child. Well, I ended up coming out of the ceremony sober…3 years now! I had no idea that was the problem…but the energy reset knew. Haven’t touched it since. I’m a hugely more present mother now – more present everything! I’ve been reclaiming my worth, and finally, money is flowing more easily. This last ceremony was really special. I felt a pain that had been building in my sacral chakra. I asked Shaun if he could put his hand there. I was aware of the healing power of his touch. Immediately he checked in confirming I was ready, and directed me to lay down while he collected his supplies. In a deep sparkling blue he hovered over me until he found her the exact spot the doctors wanted to…

remove and biopsy that he hadn’t known about at all. It took maybe an hour to commence a rebirthing process in which I was handed concise keys of energetic wisdom at precise times to enable me to release blocks mentally, vocally, spiritually, and physically. Her pink sparkles left me but not before I could cuddle her and love her fully. I saw the doctor a couple months after ceremony and the ‘polyp and fybroid’ had shrunk in half already…also the cysts disappeared. I was also scheduled to get a colonoscopy for issues no longer necessary as well a bladder issue no one could explain, now completely resolved. Friends as well as my dear sister had all been trying to help me with yoga and sound baths and breathwork and listening – all good and beneficial in themselves – but without this true gift that Shaun carries, I believe my journey on Earth may have ended up wrapping early this time around. I had always been wondered about a break that I have had right in the middle of my lifeline on my palm…now, upon close inspection, there is a bridge to a longer line. When we have blocks it’s like we’re sleeping and holding on to a dream world. Shaun is one of us who sees beyond these stories we create, into the true world of energy. We sometimes feel like we need our stories. They sure are a big part of sharing and connecting and enjoying. But the energy flow underneath, the mycelium of connectedness, the wellsprings in the cycles of rebirth, spiraling out in fibonacci expansion toward an omniscient remembering of gratitude and a selflessness that no doubt takes care of the self first. Shaun is, in most humble terms, a spiritual door holder. God, thank you for him! I highly recommend sitting with him. Plan a ceremony into your near future for the love of all that is good, and we will all rise together.

“This is my Master Shaman.  I don’t believe I have never met a more authentic and beautiful soul.  He has such integrity and his heart is true, which are two things needed for this sacred work.  Working with plant medicine requires so much.  You must have the highest integrity, the deepest love, great attention to detail, senses developed beyond this time matrix, deep connection to the plants, honoring the body as a holy temple, and so much more.  If you know of anyone who is interested in letting go of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual baggage that no longer serves their highest good, have them reach out to Shaun Ryan…I will 100% vouch for his Mastery as a Shaman.  This is your guy.  He’s now in Asheville and I guarantee it is worth the trip there if you endeavor to BE living your highest human potential.”

Melinda Hotho

“I began my plant medicine journey in 2024 and took my first four journeys on my own. The experiences were quite profound and life changing, but this year I decided to see what being in ceremony would be like. Being with others enriched the experience and Shaun’s guidance definitely added an extra layer of depth. The music alone was amazing! When other people were working with heavy energy, I was impressed by his ability to shepherd them through that with compassion and skill. I had complete peace and confidence they were in good hands, and that enabled me to stay in my own experience.

I have now done three ceremonies with Shaun. In a later ceremony, it turns out that I was the one going through the hard stuff and getting the lion’s share of attention! At one point, Shaun encouraged me to purge, which I did. As I was doing that, I had the distinct verbal message, “This is the work. This is why you are here.” I think that meant why I am here on the planet, not just at the ceremony. This ended up being a huge breakthrough/turning point in my spiritual journey and I’m not sure it would have happened (or at least not so soon or as “easily”) without Shaun’s insightful direction. I was extremely impressed by his ability to recognize what I needed, and for his support in working through it.

I would unequivocally recommend both ceremony generally and Shaun specifically for anyone wanting to further their healing and spiritual journey!

Catherine Arne

This is the honest account of the last 3-4 months of my life. I have Shaun to Thank for “SAVING MY LIFE” My journey with Shaun started on July 28th. I was connected with Shaun by a great friend of my for over 20+ years. I have had a lot of death in my life over the last 10 months. I live In Asheville, NC.. I lost 5 friends in the flood from Helene. I lost my mother November 20th and another friend of 35 years the first of July 2025. This all started one evening in June. My dog(Hank) and I went to bed around 10pm. Just as I was beginning to fall asleep. An expensive artist pottery bowl that I have had for 35+ years. Fell over and rolled to the edge of the dresser. Seconds before it fell over Hank jumped up took 4 steps back away from the dresser(he was sleeping on my bed). Bared his teeth and followed something around the room. As I said I was put in contact with Shaun. He sensed something was very wrong just in speaking with me. This would have been July 24th or 25th. Shaun arrived at my house at 11am Monday morning the 28th. He arrived with reinforcements. He cleansed my house and preformed a ceremony. He was extremely thorough with everything. He explained everything in great detail. I actually had an evil entity living in me. This entity actually spoke to Shaun during the ceremony. During the ceremony I was given the privilege of seeing the light, love, caring, and willingness in Shaun. He never stopped or gave up. He spent the entire day at my house helping me. Monday night everything had quieted down. Tuesday was OK, but something was off. 3am Wednesday morning this demon entity in me was nose to nose looking down on me. It gave me 3 messages for Shaun. I spoke with Shaun Wednesday morning. He was already aware that there was a problem. He came back Thursday after lunch with more reinforcements. He and an amazing lady(Tammy) that he had help him I my house. There were several evil entities in my house. I had a portal in my bedroom. The entire house felt heavy and dark for months. Remember the bowl falling over.. I would hear footsteps all over my house at night. Sounds of doors swinging as the hinges creaked…

The entity that was in me made nightly visits between 1am and 3am. Shaun was very highly aware of what was happening in me and my house. The first thing that Shaun did for me on Thursday was to have a ceremony out in my backyard to purge this demon out of me once and for all. This was probably the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my entire life. As the ceremony was progressing apparently the demonic entity presented itself again. I understand that Shaun was calm, respectful, and met it head on. As I was purging this thing out of me. Shaun never let go of me. The aura around Shaun was almost blinding. The amount of love that he put upon me was overwhelming. I had no idea that one person could contain so much good, and love. His soul is pure, his love and commitment knows no bounds. He was successful in purging this entity out of me. He and Tammy closed the portal, and exercised the other evil entities in my house. I had decided on an expiration date for my life. It was mid October. After this past Thursday it makes me physically sick to even think about that being my plan. I attribute this to Shaun purging this demonic thing out of me. Experiencing the pure soul, endless love, total commitment that Shaun wrapped me in that Thursday afternoon in my backyard. Shaun’s knowledge of the medicines, rituals used in his ceremonies is boundless. His ability to explain every aspect of what is about to take place in a way that brings comfort and clarity to an otherwise concerning experience. He has the ability to put one at ease just by being in his presence. I have never experienced a being with the gifts of boundless love and compassion that Shaun contains in his soul and being. He has an ability to connect with a person on so many levels. Thank you.

I want to share my own experience with Shaun, offered simply and honestly. I came into this work without familiarity or history. I’m a 57-year-old divorced man from Indiana—not someone wired for mystic mumbo jumbo. Shaun was recommended. I stepped out in trust. I didn’t know the man, only the moment. What I found was someone willing to stand still when things turned loud inside me—someone committed to holding a space that did not bend under pressure. This was not a permissive container. It was a steady one. Clear. Grounded. Intentionally held. When intensity rose, Shaun did not retreat or perform. He stayed present. For me, that steadiness became the safety. We faced very dark parts of myself—places I could not have addressed alone. He stood in the gap not for ego, but with love and compassion, carrying weight so I didn’t have to carry it all myself. The hardest part of my experience wasn’t the process—it was my surrender. Shaun met that resistance without judgment or theatrics. He didn’t flatter my defenses or shame my fear. He stayed honest, respectful, and firm, helping me back into my body and back into myself when I couldn’t find the way alone. What I received was not spiritual spectacle, but care with gravity. Responsibility. Attention. A willingness to hold something heavy so the space didn’t fracture. I understand that not every container fits every traveler. We all arrive with different stories, nervous systems, and expectations. I can only speak for my own experience—and mine was one of respect, strength, and genuine compassion, offered without ego or agenda. I had never met Shaun before this work. I didn’t leave with a guru. I left with a brother. May the work continue to be guided by humility, courage, and care. May those who step into this space be met with steadiness when things grow heavy, and may the weight be shared when it needs to be. Love, when it’s real, does not shout. It shows up. LOVE IS ALL.

Tony Awesome

“My best friend, Lori and I received Ayahuasca in Ceremony. The ceremony was lovingly administered by Shaun. I can speak for both of us when I say this was the single best thing we had ever done for ourselves. Neither of us had experience with plant medicine, but were curious, and hopeful for positive results. Like most people, Lori and I have experienced life on a very visceral level. Having both lost children, we carried the far to heavy burden of grief. Over time we learned to integrate ourselves back into the flow of life, but if you have ever lost a child, you know, life is never the same.

Now, for the reason I am writing this review. There’s enough space on this board for me to insert all the positive words I would use for describing how impressed I was with Shaun. Upon introduction, his countenance is humble, and peaceful, he truly emanates love. He works with each individual honing in on their spirit and meeting their needs as they present.

Shaun explains the ceremony in detail and has a vast knowledge of each plant medicine and its intended use. He answered any and every question we had regarding the entire process. His experience helped to expel and trepidation we might have had. The ceremony its self was overwhelming in the most beautiful, and loving way. Once submerged…

we began to experience the healing power of Ayahuasca and this well delivered ceremony. Imagine, finally connecting with the single most valuable part of who you are, and comfortably releasing that which we have given far too much power. The clarity of simply “just being” became paramount to who, and what we had been.

At the close of a ceremony, still reeling from the process, we used verbal explanations to try and explain what we had experienced, but words escaped us. “Grandmother” is all encompassing, she is love in every capacity, and I feel like that would feel and look different for everyone. As we begun to reintegrate I knew personally, I would never again allow myself to feel oppressed by the many burdens I had once been enslaved to.

If you ever have a moments hesitation as to whether this experiential journey is right for you, just do it. You will never be sorry. As for who you should choose to guide you through this experience. Hands down, choose Shaun, I trust him emphatically, and I personally endorse him as a healer, mind, body, and soul. Keep spreading love. It is the most valuable thing we all possess.”

Tammy

“I knew within five minutes of meeting Shaun that not only was he incredibly warm and friendly, nothing means more to him than motivating and inspiring his clients to step into their highest selves. We started working two days later and I have never looked back since! We immediately did an audit of every aspect of my life, identified sticking points I needed to address and put tangible action steps in place in order to achieve my goals. I’m glad to say that with Shaun guiding me step by step I’m living a life that I am truly proud of. I attribute my personal success to feeling safe enough to put my guard down and let Shaun help me address aspects of myself that had been hidden from me. I am so grateful and appreciative for everything Shaun has done for me. I only wish for you to take the leap and find the lasting fulfillment that I did.”

Evan Hanson

“Shaun did a great job holding the container for my ceremony. From the beginning opening statement where he guided the energy to be peaceful and intentional to being there and making sure that the ceremony unfolded in a beautiful way it was a great experience. He closed the ceremony with a nice lil assignment to integrate the experience. 5⭐ stars, would go to outer space with him again.”

Gene Hew

“Finding the right healing modality is one thing. Finding the right healer is another, but when you find both, you can enter the ceremony in a space of calm reassurance.
I have worked with many shamans and working with Shaun was a real treat.
He is a pure channel totally committed to getting the best outcomes possible for those fortunate to journey with him. His kind, gentle, patient spirit complement his inner and outer strength plus his wide understanding of, and deep connection with the medicines make him an incredible BEing that I would highly recommend to anyone who feels called to work with the medicines.
He is the authentic package and an inspiration.”
 
Condora

“Shaun provided me with the warmth, respect and trust I yearned for in a sacred space. I am grateful for waiting to experience such an impactful transformation in my spiritual journey with the right source of guidance and light. Checking in on my wellness to this day, he continues to be someone in whom I can confide.”

Keri Parsons

“I feel blessed to have a wonderful experience working with Shaun. During our time together I was able to work through some trauma, addictions and negative/depressive thought patterns that had a strong hold on my day to day experience.
After the work we’ve done, I feel lighter, freer and calm. The experience felt like I was like a sponge being wrung of all the baggage that was weighing me down. It took me out of the cycle of negativity and showed a different perspective on what life is all about. I feel more connected with myself and other beings all-around, everything feels more clear with an overall sense of peace and harmony. The work with Shaun is like a giant hug for your body and soul with lasting effects. Grateful for this experience to see things much differently, life has begun to open up in a beautiful way. So much appreciation for this work!”

Heather Mack

“Shaun is one of the most loving healers I have ever worked with. He has such a beautiful balance of yin and yang that holds an expansive space for healing.”

Rachel Morihiro

“I have known Shaun for over 10 years. He is one of the most pure hearted, universally kind and spiritual people I have ever met. After going through struggles in my career, a rough divorce and falling down a rabbit hole into the abyss of dating unhealthy partners; having one on one sessions with Shaun helped me confront my insecurities, personal challenges with certain addictions and childhood trauma. It doesn’t happen over night but after 10 months of working with Shaun, I am more whole, peaceful and content with who I am today and more than I ever have been before. Simply put… I am a better man today because of Shaun’s guidance and healing work. Book a session with Shaun. You’ll be glad you did.”

Rich Rotella

“I want to say that I have sat in several ceremonies with Ranko Meraya and I believe he is very skilled at what he does, he is compassionate and holds a beautiful container.

I witnessed the care and attention Shaun gave as I was right next to someone that needed it all night. Shaun worked so incredibly hard to help, and much of my own journey was filled with witnessing his love and attention as he tried to ease this person’s experience. It was apparent that some deep shadow stuff was being worked on, and I was worried. Indeed, this person’s experience presented a very difficult challenge to the holder of the container, who not only was responsible for this person’s safety and wellbeing, but for all of us present. I thought that Shaun did remarkably well at that task and he neglected no one in the space. At times, I wondered how he could even manage this person’s pain and torment, while still providing a supportive and attentive space for the rest of us. 

Point is, Shaun is the real deal, and he holds a container like a professional. He is totally respectful, honorable and authentic. I would very much recommend him to anyone who wishes to work with the medicine in the Shipibo tradition.”

Joe Sommerich

“After 50 years of seeking and study, it’s all coming together in ways that I had only dreamed of. My consciousness has moved into a full bloom with the aid of plant medicines and a master guide named Shaun Ranko Meraya. If you are serious and think that you are ready for the next step, attend a ceremony with Shaun. If you are not sure, stay home and work with your crystals. This is the real thing.”

Steve Eudy

“I have been on a spiritual path a long time. I have trained as a monk at a silent monestery, I have followed wise women in grandfather ceremonies, I have done 17 years of therapy, and I have drummed, danced and chanted. All of this went into ceremony with Shaun. He did battle over me. I did deeper work than I have ever done. And received freedom from parasite. I finally opened my eyes. I am signed up to sit at the next opportunity. Shaun is a strong, kind and observant keeper of the ceremony. It is the deepest spiritual experience I have done.

Gertie

From the moment I stepped into the ceremonial space, I knew I was in safe, grounded hands. Shaun holds a presence that is both deeply rooted and gently expansive, the kind of energy that immediately puts your nervous system at ease. His intuitive guidance, deep respect for the medicine, and masterful ability to hold space made this ceremony one of the most profound and healing experiences of my life. The setting was beautifully intentional, with every element. From the altar to the music, clearly curated to support a deep inward journey. Shaun began the ceremony with brief introduction to various medicines and an invocation that helped everyone arrive fully. His voice carried us through the waves of the experience like a steady anchor. Throughout the ceremony, Shaun was attuned to each participant’s process without ever intruding. When I hit an emotional wall, his calm presence and perfectly timed support helped me move through it with grace. It didn’t feel like someone “leading” the experience, but more like a wise guide walking beside you in the dark, holding a lantern just far enough ahead to light the next step. Post ceremony, he emphasized embodiment, practical takeaways, and gave us tools to continue the work beyond the ceremony itself. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a soul-level recalibration. I left with more clarity, softness, and connection to life than I’ve felt in years. If you’re considering working with Shaun: trust the call. He’s the real deal.
