What My Clients Are Saying

What you’re about to read are true stories from clients who, just like you, started with a dream to uncover their true potential and achieve more success with less stress. With the right guidance and support, those dreams have become their reality, and I couldn’t be more excited to share their experiences with you below.

Over the course of our sessions, Shayna helped me feel inspired, empowered, and generally good about myself and my life. She's an incredibly empathetic person, and you can sense that she's heavily invested in your progress. Shayna's most valuable asset is her ability to listen - really listen. She hears what you don't say. This is an invaluable trait in a coach. I would recommend Shayna to anyone who is seeking clarity in their lives, or is looking to get unstuck or make progress in some way. I can't imagine a single situation Shayna couldn't help you work through. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with Shayna, and I intend to continue that relationship. I can't speak highly enough of Shayna's genuineness and her undeniable efficacy as a coach.

Shayna did an excellent job patiently coaching me through road blocks in my personal and professional life. She allowed space for a true healing to happen in areas that were holding me back form my goals. I recommend her as a coach for anyone who wants to take a leap towards their ultimate life and career goals.

It was a true joy and privilege to have worked with Shayna as my coach. Above anything, she was a tremendous listener and held space for me as I dissected my motivations and needs moving forward through to this next stage in my life. Many of the questions she asked got right at the heart of the issues I was having and needed to sort through. Her ability to listen, tendency to move toward solutions in abstract or unknown scenarios, and pragmatic approach are truly her superpowers.

Before working with Shayna, I felt like I was just all over the place. I kept starting and stopping different tasks while not ever completing anything. I had an idea of what I wanted to accomplish, but no idea what steps I needed to take to get there.

Working with Shayna I learned that I could also talk about my feeling associated with different jobs or roles and even other tasks that I wanted to complete in my life and that of my family. Besides coaching, I had spoken with friends and family and I had tried to complete some things on my own, but I was not very focused and not finding the results I hoped to find. Working with Shayna not only helped me figure out what I wanted to do (at least for the next year), but it was also something to look forward to each week. I wanted to complete my homework so we could continue to create and complete new goals together. I loved Shayna’s great attitude and positive feedback and also her ability to stay focused and on task when it was easy to veer off and talk about other things. I would say definitely work with Shayna. She is positive, smart, thoughtful, and energetic and she makes you feel like you can accomplish your goals. I remember making lists of what I wanted to work on and I was happily surprise to find that I did accomplish those goals.

As a mid-career professional, I first began working with Shayna when I was seeking advice and clarity in forging ahead in an existing career, but lacking a clear vision of my future growth or direction with the employer. Having never worked with a coach before, in our first Discovery Call together Shayna provided reassurance and suggestions for enhancing my coaching experience, as well as presented a helpful framework for what I might expect along the way.

In our sessions, Shayna’s problem-solving and thought provoking questions provided valuable guidance and support, allowing me to strategically and rationally work through an unexpected, yet pivotal career moment.

Shayna routinely offered a fresh perspective and insightful visualizations that generated deeper thought, and used individualized tools to help me explore the intrinsic motivation for my career development. These exercises enabled me to realize and connect personal aspirations with professional goals. Throughout our work together, we developed an established structure for our calls, while also allowing room for organic conversation shifts when I sought support or feedback in working through unexpected blockers or scenarios. Along with the work we did together in our sessions, Shayna helped me to find incremental goals or practice opportunities to reinforce the progress we had during our sessions.

Her intuition and welcoming spirit offers natural connections and open dialogue with her clients. Whether you are seeking insight and support for a career change or need a boost in developing professional development, Shayna is an illuminating guide.

I would highly recommend Shayna to anyone looking for a coach. Her warm, patient, and empathetic style helped me process issues at work, and also develop strategies for balancing work and family obligations. I looked forward to our weekly sessions and was able to immediately apply strategies and tools from them in my job. Her style was a great blend of practical, concrete advice and more abstract tools and visualization strategies. Working with her helped me reframe issues and completely change my mindset. She is very skilled at getting to the core of a problem and immediately empowering you to help develop an actionable solution. Even after our sessions ended I find I continue to draw upon her advice to chart a path forward and maintain a positive attitude, even when confronted with personal or professional challenges.

I had been looking into going back to work after being home with my kids for 10 years when I started working with Shayna. Shayna helped me identify what I did want and what I didn’t want. She encouraged me to look into myself and ask myself some of the uncomfortable questions to help guide me through the process of going back to work. She helped me feel confident that the path I was on was a good fit for me and for my family, giving me that coveted work/life balance. Her encouragement and guidance helped give me the confidence to be an advocate for myself and make a decision that is right for me. I am grateful for to Shayna for her kind but productive approach. I enjoyed each of our sessions and always felt empowered and ready to take on a situation after meeting with Shayna.

I have worked with many coaches, therapists, healers, and guides throughout my adult life and Shayna has by far been the most impactful. I came to her at a critical time in my career where I was feeling stuck and had been dreaming about a different path for over a decade. Shayna was able to shine a light on what was sticky and helped me forge a different path through kindness, accountability, and support. Working with Shayna was not always easy because she asks important questions. The questions are uncomfortable but ultimately exactly what I needed to get me out of my own way. In the year I worked with Shayna, she saw me through taking on a leadership role, taking on my first corporate job, a move across the country and finally a pivot in my career that I had been craving. Shayna changed my life and I will forever be grateful for her support and wisdom!

Before working with Shayna, I was in a transitional point in my life, getting ready to return to a paid job after being a stay at home mom for 4 years and I didn't know where I wanted to take my career. I had stressed and been facing anxiety for weeks about deciding if I would return to my old job or go in a new direction before a friend suggested I work with Shayna. During our initial call, Shayna was friendly and open about the ways that she could help me and what her expectations were and immediately after the call, I felt like I was on a step in the right direction. During our sessions, Shayna pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and examine all the possibilities. She helped me gain insight into myself and my wants and needs and to understand which direction I wanted to go in and helped me navigate through the process of finding jobs that fit me. She helped me open up doors to step into a career that is right for me right now. Working with her was like having a guide through a forest that looked unpassable. I would highly recommend working with her to anyone who is feeling unsure about any part of their own career.

I'm a passionate leader that looks for opportunity around every corner. There's little I won't dip my toes into and even less that I won't question about my thoughts. Working with Shayna has been a gift to myself, my family, my colleagues, and my community as a whole. Part of wanting to contribute to so many (and in any way I can) involves loads of judgment. "What do they need? What can I do for them? What should happen? What they need is ..." These kinds of thoughts swim around each interaction I have. It is draining and most often results in overwhelm at the last minute and resentment of myself for trying to do it all...again. Shayna knows how to hold space, listen attentively to what is (and is not) said, share just enough, and make one feel safe enough to share what's at the heart of their stories. Often, the shifts and clarity I gained in our sessions were like the proverbial "lightbulb over the head" moments. They removed the blocks in my path and got me back into action. Shayna's gift to the world is that of caring curiosity. She allowed (and required) me to own my stuff. Once I accepted that, her masterful questioning led me to the right answers for me. If you want to become a more authentic, accepting, and caring leader, that isn't stopped short by your stories and circumstances, Shayna is ready to listen, support, and question you.

Sometimes you need to voice your most negative thoughts to someone other than your friends and family members in order to hear the most honest truth. Shayna took the frustrations I had seriously, giving me ample space to voice my concerns and hearing all the things I did not say or realize, but deeply felt. Her listening skills and prompts guided me to a place where I could create proactive solutions for myself and embark on a path of development that felt genuine for me.

Shayna is a strong, bold and clearheaded coach. She helped me get a handle on a big complicated change period in my life about which I was both excited and discombobulated. I hired her because I wanted a smart intellectual, emotionally mature companion who could talk about serious things with lightness and keep me honest, which includes being suspicious of my own occasionally negative renderings of things. I am 100 percent satisfied with the results and the experience of getting there.

Working with Shayna has been a transformative experience. Her ability to ask thought-provoking questions and provide deep insights helped me gain clarity and develop strategies to overcome (my many) obstacles. Through our sessions, she introduced me to powerful life tools that enabled me to re-assess my goals to strongly align them with my values - but Shayna's impact goes far beyond the expectations of “coach”: She helped me to discover, confront and overcome deeply ingrained limiting beliefs and break self-imposed constraints that I didn’t previously see in front of me. She is truly an outstanding coach, a wonderful person, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she continues to make on my career and life.

Working with Shayna has forced me to challenge preconceived notions about my career, which I now realize were limiting my career ambitions. Shayna is able to listen to situations I provide, and immediately identify the mental blocks that are impacting my professional growth. Her ability to challenge those mental blocks has enabled me to change the "what if" into a true next step, with a plan of action to achieve the long term goals. Not only does she empower career growth, Shayna simultaneously ensures I keep my family goals in check along the way.
