Shelli Stanger Nelson, RN, BS, Advanced Bioenergy
Science Practitioner
Rukha® Academy Founder and President
Shelli Stanger Nelson is the founder, president and lead teacher of Rukha®
Academy of Healing Arts & Science. She has centered her life work
around the integration of medicine, healing and the evolution of human
consciousness. She believes, through personal experience and intensive
study, that this approach is the most viable way to achieve infinite
well-being.
Early Quest to Improve Health
Shelli's
health and wellness career began in 1985 when she became a registered
nurse in the state of Minnesota. In both her professional and private
life, she observed that traditional medicine and treatments too often
failed. This frustration launched a 25-year quest for integrative
methods of improving health -- for herself and her patients.
Personal Journey from Disease to Health
Shelli had lived with type I diabetes, and the complications of
multiple related illnesses, since she was ten years old. Her condition
was resolved in 2008 through the carefully integrated use of
traditional medicine and energy healing arts. Her experience in coping
with the pain and debilitation of the illnesses, and her conscious
choices to reclaim her health, fueled a passion for hope that honors
the struggles of all humanity.

The Healing Power of Sightless Perception
Before Shelli was cured of diabetes, the disease had permanently damaged many parts of her body and eliminated all physical eyesight. She became totally blind by the age of 24. The absence of visual distraction has enabled her to access her innate gifts and develop a way of perceiving that is highly accurate and profound.
Her true calling is to help people find their own innate gifts. In her role as energy healer, teacher, and founder of Rukha® Academy, she encourages others to overcome limitations -- real or imagined -- to bring those treasures to humanity.
A Rare Combination of Talents
The unique circumstances of Shelli's personal and professional journey have given birth to many inspiring traits. She is known for her irreverent sense of humor, unflappable belief in what is possible, and a compassion for fellow travelers that is beyond measure. Her capacity to be transparent, vulnerable and authentic gives her students permission to be the same.
