The Complete Retreat

In this episode of The Complete Retreat Podcast, we sit down with the radiant Tiffany Greene — Reiki master, teacher, and retreat facilitator — to explore her transformational journey from religious deconstruction to becoming a powerful space holder for others.

Tiffany shares her first life-changing experience with ayahuasca, how that ceremony awakened her intuitive gifts, and how she followed the “cosmic breadcrumbs” into energy work, breathwork, and trauma-informed coaching. We talk about what it really takes to hold space for others, how she prepared to co-facilitate her first retreat, and the importance of staying grounded while helping others go deep.

This is a powerful conversation about trusting your intuition, doing the inner work, and stepping into a life of aligned service — one courageous step at a time.

About our Guest:
Tiffany Greene is a Reiki Master, trauma-informed coach, and retreat facilitator based in Arizona. After a profound awakening during her first ayahuasca ceremony, Tiffany transitioned from a life rooted in traditional religion to one guided by deep intuition, energy work, and service.

Through her business Radiant Shadow Healing, she offers sessions that weave Reiki, somatic tools, breathwork, and intuitive coaching — helping people regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their inner knowing, and integrate their shadow with love and compassion. Tiffany co-facilitates retreats and creates sacred spaces that empower people to transform from within.
