Shyena Is an Ambassador for Himalayan Stove Project
Shyena Venice- Chief Ambassador
Shyena is a resourceful, multi-talented, multi-faceted, empathetic person who cares deeply for people and connects with them, masterfully, in a natural and charming fashion – whether one-on-one or in a group setting. She is our perfect “Chief Ambassador.”
She was born in Rhode Island and grew up on the rugged Maine coast, where she spent hours as mate on her father’s lobster boat (when she wasn’t snatching blueberries from the bears). Tragically her parents both died when she was 20, so “big sister” had to drop out of college and raise her two younger sisters and brother and got them successfully launched in life.
Shyena is a true “citizen of the world”, having traveled extensively on all the continents (except the big, icy one) and lived, for years, in London, the Canary Islands and New Zealand (where she has “permanent resident” status).



The ultimate “survivor”, she has a terrific and varied skill set earned in the “school of life.” She is a graduate of the London-based European School of Massage and Aroma Therapy and has more than 20 years experience in the
natural healing arts, as an intuitive healer and educator. She has a passion for helping women around the world increase their sexual awareness and health through her lectures, workshops, personal counseling and the “model” she presents so beautifully of her own natural, holistic lifestyle. Her passionate love is music (Music is the language of the soul.) and is a gifted drummer and percussionist who has performed internationally for many years.
Shyena is an active adventurer who travels around the world snow-boarding, trekking and climbing. Her extended visit to Nepal and Bhutan in the summer of 2011 brought her into the world of the Himalayan Stove Project. We are truly fortunate to have her as our dedicated “Chief Ambassador.”
Shyena Venice is an accomplished musician, healing practitioner and sexual health facilitator.
A graduate of the European School of Massage and Aromatherapy in London, England, Shyena has over 20 years experience in the natural healing arts. Understanding the needs of men and women, her passion is to facilitate workshops that offer practical tools to improve the sex and intimacy in their relationships.
That unique understanding coupled with her business acumen has helped her become one of the pioneers of promoting healthy sexual products for women.
She promotes socially conscious company’s that contribute regularly to women’s sexual education and recovery from both HIV Aids and Cancer.
Shyena shares her passion for helping women around the world increase their sexual awareness and health by embarking on a journey of a holistic lifestyle. She shares her knowledge and expertise through her live events, classes and online blog contributions.
Shyena has two other passions that make everything else she does matter: she is an active adventurer who loves to travel around the world snow boarding, hiking and climbing mountains.
Her true love is music. She is a gifted percussionist and has performed internationally for many years.
The self-healing tips for HANGOVER
The self-healing tips for HANGOVER are finally here!
Re-posted from Cedric Sun
from his blog: New (but old) ways to stay healthy
There are often 2 major kinds of hangover symptoms:
1: Headache being the main symptom, with eye swollen or/and echo in the head from talking. This is usually caused by acetaldehyde accumulation.
2: Bad emotion being the main symptom, with nauseous or vomiting. This is usually caused by acute gastritis.
If you went hardcore the night before then you may have both. If you have swollen fingers or even losing conscious, then it’s probably alcohol intoxication and you better have someone call 911 for you.
To save you from symptom 1, find the following points:
No.1 Bai Hui: midpoint of the line between the two ears, very top point of the head. Method: press. (Picture above)
No.2 Tian Zhu: on the neck, level with C2, in the depression at the lateral border of trapezius. Method: rub.
No.3 Gan Shu: level with T9, 2 fingers away from the spine. Method: tap, hit or rub (Don’t worry if you can’t find the exact locations, even you are just working the area it will still work.)
To Save you from symptom 2, simply rub the up, down, left and right, 4 points that are about 3cm from the bellybutton, then press them down, hold about 6 seconds then release. Repeat about 10 times or simply till you feel better.
Hope this helps! (Although I have not yet got a chance to test them myself )
