Shana has been involved in holistic health for over 15
years. After completing her B.A. in psychology at New
York University, she studied Ayurveda, detoxification
therapy and meditation instruction at various institutions in
California. Later, she studied Naturopathy, Nutritional Coun-
seling and Chinese Medicine at Reidman College as well as
Health Kinesiology in Jerusalem. After taking on a religious
Jewish lifestyle and making Aliyah, Shana established the
Maayan Health Center in Jerusalem.
WHY DON’T PEOPLE FULLY HEAL?
According to Shana, toxins, poor digestion, nutritional
deficiencies, old injuries and genetic weakness are among
the most common reasons that prevent people from healing
on the physical level. One can also have blocked energy on
the spiritual and emotional level that can prevent a physical
condition from healing.
“Many people’s attempts to eat healthily may be under-
mined by poor nutrient absorption due to weak digestion.
Often, old injuries create tissue weakness. This can be a root
of persisting health issues. Many people also take synthetic
supplements which may not be resonant with their biofield.”
A study testing herbal products using DNA barcoding
found that ingredients not listed on the label occurred in 30
of the 44 products. Only two of the twelve tested companies
sold products without any substitution, contamination or
fillers (BMC Medicine, 2013).
Shana explains that the extent to which a clinician can of-
fer remedies of the highest efficacy is of extreme importance.
“A correct diagnosis with incorrect or poor-quality remedies
is a key factor why many people remain ill.”
For example, Esther came to Shana to address chronic
colds and food intolerances. Esther ate a healthy diet and had
tried taking a number of supplements. Shana muscle tested
her and discovered that her lungs and large intestines were
weak. She also found that a previous cesarean section had
contributed to a weakening of her digestive organs.
After a month of taking the foods and supplements that
tested resonant with her biofield and receiving a treatment
that restored function to her digestive organs, Esther no
longer had frequent illness and she began tolerating many
new foods.
At Maayan Health, Shana Neril draws from a number of
systems to identify and resolve health challenges at their
root. Quantum reflex analysis is the primary system that
she uses to identify weak organs along with the foods and
supplements that the body needs to regain health. Addition-
ally, she draws on Chinese medicine, applied kinesiology, and
functional medicine for diagnosis and treatment options.
Together, the integration of these modalities has enabled
Shana’s clients to heal from situations relating to metabol-
ic issues like insulin resistance, heart disease, and obesity;
digestive issues like reflux, IBS and colitis; hormonal imbal-
ance such as PCOS, premenstrual syndrome and difficult
menopause; and issues relating to chronic pain and auto-
immune disorders.
GOING BEYOND THE PHYSICAL
Research from Carnegie Mellon University in 2012 found
that psychological stress had a direct impact on the body’s
ability to regulate inflammation. This showed that stress can
cause disease to develop or worsen. Through the use of tech-
niques for spiritual and emotional healing, Shana has consis-
tently seen physical ailments heal or significantly improve.
For example, Sarah, who suffered from joint pain, depres-
sion, and allergies, shared that soon after her divorce there
was a significant worsening of her ailments. In addition to
balancing the organs that muscle tested weak with the ap-
propriate nutrition and supplements, they worked together
on the internal factors that had been putting her under tre-
mendous stress. After three months, Sarah was pain free,
her allergies had subsided and she had unexpectedly lost
weight. Additionally, she felt a new sense of empowerment!
“I believe in empowering people with the knowledge
and tools needed to take healing into their own hands, and
self-sustain vibrant health of body, mind and soul,” Shana
emphasizes “Vibrant health is our birthright.”
