I was referred to Shawna by a good friend in 2022. I was at the lowest point of my life. I had called 911 twice due to anxiety/panic attacks and was off work for 3 months due to this manifesting into a nervous breakdown where my doctor advised I needed to get some help. I had also run through about 10 therapists at this point. I thought most of the stress was due to my self proclaimed "stressful job", compounded by my past trauma. I felt alone, anxious, sad, self absorbed, angry, unworthy and devastated with my life. Shawna taught me that I'm not my past trauma or my work stress and how much control I had over my thoughts. Our discussions on overcoming unworthiness, shame and fear were immensely eye opening and helped me move past being "stuck" in this loop of thinking I am my problems, when in reality it was how I was thinking and responding to what I "think" are problems. 

I consider Shawna a coach and a mentor in all aspects of my life. I rely on her for a lot and she's always there to take that burden on. Some things that Shawna has taught me is the implementation of trust, values and boundaries. At 54 these were all foreign to me. I tend to joke with her that she is raising me. She taught me how to set real boundaries with myself and others in ways no one else has, and taught me how to trust my heart. She got into the thick of it in many sessions on what thoughts/decisions were coming from my ego or my heart (love). This took some time as I was consistently in fight or flight. The result was life changing. I do not question my decisions anymore. In my prior world I did not trust, I did not have values and I had zero boundaries therefore creating a lot of bad habits and relationships. I had no clue what I wanted or needed, which then brought in shame and guilt. I am much more present today and I'm able to immediately identify a negative thought as soon as it hits my consciousness and immediately take action on dealing with that thought in a loving way. We discuss feeling "worthy" often as this is one of the many words I never understood or knew how to apply to my life in practicality. Shawna helped me (and continues to do so) mend that separation. She's consistently able to identify when I'm subconsciously coming from a place of unworthiness and redirect and further train me with how to identify it. The depth she has is amazing.

Shawna has an innate way of understanding me, this helps her communicate in a way to get me to grasp what I'm unconscious of.  It's like she has an original blueprint of me, who I truly am and has slowly helped me rebuild off that blueprint. She changes her approach if I do not pick up on how I'm thinking or speaking about an event or situation. She reminds me of similar issues and how we solved it so that I would have that repetition. The repeating was what I needed to create awareness of the negative thoughts and that enabled me to identify and make change, in real life, versus in just a session. Shawna navigates me in a way that makes me think she's inside your head. She never gives up on me and I always feel safe. She gives more of herself to me than sometimes I give to myself. It's humbling to see how much effort she puts into my mental health and wellbeing and that makes me grateful for her every day.  I do not hover for days after one small inconvenient event, or something that made me angry anymore. My prior world was me finding ways to stay in conflict with myself and others as it was the only way I knew how to function.  

The work Shawna has done with me has opened up my eyes to a world of ease and has freed me from a mental prison that I found myself in. She teaches me how to manage my thoughts in the way that works for me and not a "boilerplate" approach. Shawna navigates you. She's attune to you beyond what YOU actually see.  Her methodical approach pulls all the feelings to the surface and helps you deal with them in a compassionate, empathic and open way. I am a completely different person than I was before I met Shawna. I feel lucky to have found her and have the utmost gratitude for her and how she practices her approach. I don't know if I could ever give back to Shawna what she's selflessly has given to me, but she's also shown me that I need to receive, a concept I was completely foreign to, so that is what I'm going to do. I truly believe Shanwa was put on this earth to help others rise to consciousness and become fully awakened.

I'm not someone who typically asks for help.

I've built companies, led teams, navigated pressure, and solved problems for a living. My instinct has always been to push harder, work longer, and figure it out myself. When some health issues forced me to slow down, I knew something needed to change. I tried executive advisement and even therapy. It wasn't for me. Too much talking, not enough truth.

Then I found Shawna.

What I appreciated immediately was that there was no BS. No performance. No trying to impress me. She has a way of seeing through the stories people tell themselves and getting straight to what's actually driving their behavior.

Within a few sessions, she helped me recognize how much of my life had become performative. Not in an obvious way, but in the subtle ways many high achievers operate. Always managing. Always producing. Always projecting certainty. The harder truth was that I wasn't the only one doing it. The same patterns were showing up throughout my leadership team and company culture.

The changes that followed weren't small. I became a better listener. I stopped needing to be the smartest person in every room. I became more honest, more direct, and more comfortable leading as myself instead of leading through a role. All of my relationships completely changed.

What continues to surprise me is Shawna's ability to understand people. She sees dynamics, motivations, and patterns that people miss entirely. More than once she pointed something out that stopped me cold. And that's saying something. Very little surprises me anymore.

If you're looking for someone who can help you see what you've been unwilling or unable to see for yourself, she's one of the best investments I've ever made.

I entered into my session with Shawna hoping to better understand my teenagers. I left with a completely different understanding of both my children and myself.

Within a single session, Shawna helped me see each of my children in a way I never had before. She understood their personalities, their needs, their motivations, and the unique ways they experience the world with a level of clarity that surprised me. It felt as though she could see into the heart of who they really are.

What shocked me most, was what she helped me recognize about myself. With incredible compassion and absolutely no judgment, Shawna held up a mirror that I didn't even know I needed. She helped me see how often I was viewing my children, my husband, and even life itself through the lens of my own fears, expectations, wounds, and assumptions. I had spent years believing I was simply trying to help everyone around me, never realizing how much pressure, control, and responsibility I was carrying. I certainly never would have described myself as someone who was getting in my own way, but through our work, I saw how often I was creating the very struggles I was trying so hard to solve.

What I thought were problems in my children were often reflections of my own stuff. What I thought needed '“fixing” needed understanding. I had spent years looking outside of myself for explanations and solutions. Shawna helped me see all of this with such clarity and kindness that it never felt confronting or shameful. It simply made sense. I was in awe.

Instead of trying to manage every thing in my life or solve every problem, I learned how to listen and I learned how to trust. I know that less is often more. I don’t walk around with constant tension and hypervigilance, trying to hold everything together. For the first time in my life, life is easy.

My relationship with my teenagers completely transformed and the tension disappeared. Conversations became easier and no one was walking on eggshells. I found myself actually enjoying them more and understanding them in ways I never had before. My relationship with my husband became deeper and more connected. We stopped reacting to one another. Most significantly, I developed an entirely new relationship with myself. Before working with Shawna, I didn’t know a relationship even existed with myself that required my attention.

I didn't realize how little trust I had in life until I began working with Shawna. I thought trust meant certainty or control. She helped me understand trust in a completely different way. I no longer feel like I have to force, fix, or carry everything. There is a freedom and ease in my life that I didn't know was possible. I never would have imagined that life could feel this light.

What makes Shawna so different is that she has a way of describing things that simply make sense. She can see patterns and dynamics that are difficult to put into words, and somehow she articulates them in a way that is true. She helped me understand not only my children, but myself, my marriage, and the ways I had been creating unnecessary suffering. She didn't give me a set of tools or techniques. She gave me a completely new lens through which to see life.

The ripple effect of that has touched every relationship I have and every part of who I am. I will be grateful for our work together for the rest of my life.

Shawna's light and her ability to feel the essence of my soul have allowed me to reach deeper than I ever thought possible. She has created a container of safety, peace, and a little bit of magic that made it possible for me to finally stop running.

Before working with Shawna, I spent my life chasing goals, pursuing success, running from my childhood, and bypassing the present through constant effort. I was always looking toward the next achievement, the next milestone, the next win. I had been wearing a mask for so long that I didn't even realize it was there. I spent an incredible amount of energy trying to be accepted by friends, family, co-workers, and even strangers.

BS used to mean a lot of things to me. Now it means "before Shawna." She definitely called out my other BS too. The masks. The performance. The endless striving. She had a way of cutting through decades of conditioning and getting right to the heart of who I really was.

What Shawna helped me see was that underneath all of the success, striving, and performance was someone who simply wanted to be seen and accepted for who he truly was. Being seen for who you are and accepted anyway is the love I had been searching for my entire life.

I was unable to taste the fruits of my labor because I was focused on the future. Life has never tasted sweeter because I'm finally present enough to experience them. Before Shawna, I was numb to it all. Numb to my accomplishments. Numb to my relationships. Numb to myself. She woke me up.

I've worked with countless advisors, mentors, executives, and plenty of guy friends over the years. None of those conversations ever satisfied the deeper itch to be fully authentic and fully accepted. Working with Shawna changed my life on every level.

The pursuit of knowing myself is never complete, but today I approach it differently. Being present has allowed me to release the deeply ingrained mentality of winning versus losing. I no longer feel like life is something I need to conquer. I get to participate in it.

I am proud to be here for every moment and to savor the treasures I was once too blind to see. My world is now in color, and I attribute so much of that to Shawna, her light, and her unwavering ability to see the truth of who I am, even when I couldn't.

Shawna is the guide you didn't know you were searching for and the presence you never realized you needed. It is difficult to put into words the impact she has had on my children and our family because what she offers transcends traditional mentorship. Every interaction with Shawna becomes an opportunity for growth, deeper understanding, healing, self-discovery, and, above all, a greater capacity to love ourselves and one another.

She has a remarkable gift for seeing children as they truly are. Where others see behavior, she sees the person beneath it. She recognizes the unique spark within each child and gently nurtures it, helping them uncover strengths, gifts, and possibilities they may not yet see in themselves. In her presence, children's eyes light up. They feel understood, encouraged, and deeply valued for who they are.

For my children, Shawna helped cultivate confidence, self-awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. She created a space where they felt safe to grow, trusted to find their own way, and supported in becoming more fully themselves. The lessons they learned were not just for a moment in time, they became part of how they navigate the world.

What makes Shawna's work so impactful is that she understands growth happens within relationships. She partnered with me as thoughtfully as she guided my children, offering wisdom and perspective that helped me better understand them, support them, and connect with them in more meaningful ways. The result was a deeper sense of trust, understanding, and connection within our family.

Her influence continues to ripple through our lives long after our time together. Shawna embodies the values she teaches...love, empathy, integrity, courage, and grace. Her light is genuine, her wisdom is profound, and her impact is lasting. We are forever grateful for the countless ways she has helped our family become more connected, more aware, and more fully ourselves.

Shawna is a gifted, beautiful, and loving spiritual channel.  Her intuitive nature is palpable and magical!  I have been fortunate to sit with her for readings on a couple of occasions, where she touched on things that were playing on a loop in the deep recesses of my mind, things no one else knew about.  She had an innate ability to tap into the essence of who I am, and bring meaningful messages and spirit guidance to areas where it was most needed, allowing some shadow aspects of my journey to be lovingly acknowledged and released.  This was being "seen" on a deeper level and it made a lasting impression that stayed with me.

        Shawna's approach is refreshingly unfiltered and purely authentic, uplifting and empowering.  She is such an inspiring and passionate person, and I'm so grateful for the heart-expanding experience of receiving a reading from her.  She truly saw my spirit, and that in itself was incredible.  Plus, she's just really fun to spend time with!  I recommend her to anyone who is looking to connect more deeply to themselves, their spirit guides, and to gain clarity on their purpose.  Shawna is vastly intuitive, attuning to energy and channeling it with great love.  What a gift!

Her natural ability honestly blew me away.

Shawna is so exceptionally gifted that I found myself talking about her to friends and family. Having taught hundreds of students over the years, I can confidently say that Shawna is one of the more naturally talented intuitives I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Beyond her gifts, Shawna is fun, compassionate, understanding, adaptable, and deeply excited to learn and grow. Excitement and curiosity are truly part of the magic formula when developing intuitive abilities, and she embodies both. 

I wholeheartedly believe Shawna is meant to gain wisdom and share it with others. She has the qualities of a natural mentor and teacher, and I feel strongly that she is going to change many people’s lives through her gifts
