Absolutely loved working with Sheyna these past few months! Made me feel comfortable right away, also to mention, safe. I often get in my head about sharing what I feel, or if my thoughts are going not going to make sense. Shayna would listen carefully to as what I was saying and gave me her full attention. She helped me reshape and strengthen a close relationship that I was struggling with. Along with, that I was struggling with myself mentally and feeling stuck in a rut. Shayna gave me that push that I needed, and in which has helped me, a lot. And for that, I’ll always be/feel thankful for her. For giving me her input and words that will stick with me for a long time.
