Unlocking the Wisdom Within
Hi there, I'm Shelley! I started off in my career following the corporate path with dreams of breaking the glass ceiling and being super successful. Then I actually experienced what it was like in the real world and decided that dream just didn't allow me to have an impact on people.
Over the last 35 years, I found myself on a winding career path doing everything from admin work and software instruction, to computer support, business analysis and corporate training, to running my own business as a technical writer and eLearning designer, and finally expanding into employee experience design. I’ve gathered so many different skills, but the one thing I always strived for was connection. I had a gift for building trust and collaborating with others to solve problems and found myself in the role of informal mentor and coach to people at many points along the way.
​
During this career path, I was also on a deep spiritual journey driven by a desire to really know who I am and why I’m here. I encountered many different teachers and discovered so much about myself and the trauma I’ve carried. I started off my education by earning an Honors B.A in Psychology with a focus on the brain and behaviour. I was fascinated by the drivers behind why people act the way they do. My curiosity inspired me to study energy to understand Chakras, and I learned even more through hands-on work in healing touch and Reiki. Along the way I’ve gathered tools like meditation, numerology, astrology and tarot to help me connect with my higher wisdom and support my practice. I finally landed back where I started, with a deep desire to share the wisdom I’ve gained on my path.
​
My focus is always on empowerment. I’m not here to fix anything. I am here to guide you to discover that voice inside that nudges you and knows you to your core. To turn up the volume on that whisper until you learn to trust the inner guidance that comes from your higher self that is deeply connected to your soul. To walk beside you and cheer you on as you claim your personal power and learn to identify and heal the wounds holding you back.
​
My goal is to share the wisdom I’ve gained along the way in the hope it might support anyone who finds themselves with similar questions about navigating life. My perspective is my own and won’t resonate with everyone and that is just fine. I’m here to connect with like-minded souls and if that is you, welcome!
