Client Stories:

  • I was a mess after my adult child's suicide. I had completely shut myself off from everyone—my family, friends, and community. Shelby listened with compassion and empathy. Working with her is a life-changing experience where you learn about yourself better and learn to live with grief as a friend.

    - Lori B., Virginia, U.S.

  • By the end of our time together, I wasn't so consumed by my grief and did not feel broken. Shelby helped me normalize what felt insurmountable and lonely, and helped me find balance and relief.

    - Karen M., Australia

  • With so many unknowns in 2020, working with Shelby provided stability. I’ve taken my power back in so many facets. Grief is a part of who I am. Acknowledging and welcoming all aspects of grief into my life have made me more comfortable with vulnerability, accepting who I am now, and who I am becoming.

    - Julia, Illinois, U.S.

  • Shelby met me right where I was: rock bottom. She helped me get back in touch with myself, trust my intuition, and remain vulnerable instead of building a wall around my heart. She helped me navigate a really hard experience and come back to life.

  • I feel like something important has shifted in me to allow me to live with grief in a more honest and positive way that I really didn't think was possible before.

  • The exercises prompted me to examine the depth of my grief and embrace what it was trying to show me. I see grief differently now—not as my enemy but as my friend. Thank you Shelby for giving me permission to grieve. It's been a sacred and holy journey for me, one that has helped put this broken heart back together.
