I’ll give you three easy, proven tools for navigating life after loss and show you how you can create peace, stability, and compassion in the midst of grief.

  • 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

  • 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. If you are hesitating, please don’t. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    — Chris, California, U.S.

  • The exercises and homework that Shelby has so creatively crafted prompted me to examine the depth of my grief and embrace what grief was trying to show me and teach 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.

    — Tammy, Texas, U.S.

  • Shelby’s intuition and wisdom gave me the ability to put things into perspective, leading me on a path of reorientation. I was able to shift my expectations which in turn helped me navigate a very difficult loss. She created a safe place from which I could regroup and move forward!
