Shell is FANTASTIC… I have been so supported by her, and she has helped me to look at issues and feelings in new and constructive ways.

I really appreciate Shell’s insight. After our session, I was able to view a situation in a different light. This had a huge impact on how experienced the world. I returned to myself and put some fears, that once felt overwhelming, in their place or even to rest. After experiencing something that was challenging for me, I’m finally feeling at ease, more optimistic and centered.

Shell has taken the time to really get to know me as a person. Even when I’m apprehensive about bringing a topic up, she has a way of making me comfortable and drawing it out of me. She has helped me navigate through new chapters of my life. She gives me things to consider and tools to effectively make decisions. Shell has been an instrumental part on my journey of self love and growth.
