Individual Sessions-In person
"How has my life changed from working with Shelley? Life is sweeter and more joyful. I'm less afraid, more confident, and grounded--willing to try new things." Tammy, Green Bay, WI
Many of the issues that people struggle with are symptoms of being in a state of disconnection from their authentic self. When you are out of alignment with your authentic self you may have the following difficulties:
*You feel like there is something more you want to be doing with your life and your not sure what that is, and you don’t know how to figure it out. You feel empty and that life lacks deep purpose and meaning for you. Or you have a dream but you don’t take any action to move towards this dream. You may feel it’s too late to pursue, or it’s not practical or that you don’t have what it takes to do it
*You are struggling in one of your relationships and there is more conflict than sharing love and supporting each other. Whether it is your spouse, your significant other or your child -you are frustrated with the lack of communication, the arguing the struggle that doesn’t seem to get any better no matter what you try
*You feel that you life is out of balance with too much to do and not enough time for the things that are most important to you. You feel like you are on a treadmill, just going and going trying to get everything done. You feel like your life is running you rather than you running your life.
*You feel that there are things that happened to you in the past that are limiting your life today. You may feel anxious around other people or have a hard time really opening up and trusting others. You may have people you are close to in your life, but you hold yourself back from connecting with them at a deep level. You may lack confidence to pursue the things you really want in life and feel you deserve them.
*You know what you could be doing to take care of yourself, but you don’t follow through with doing these things consistently. You may not exercise, get enough rest, eat healthy, take time off to relax. You may struggle with addictions to overeating, alcohol, spending money, watching TV/internet etc.
*You feel unhappy, depressed or anxious and aren’t sure why and how to change this. You know you are unhappy or anxious but you can’t pinpoint why and what you need to do to feel differently. You try different things and they may help a little bit, but then you go back to feeling bad again.
Reconnecting with your Authentic Self to get back on Track
You have an internal guidance system that you were born with to help you navigate easily and effortlessly through your life. This guidance system is your Authentic Self. When we are connected to our Authentic Self-we can make the best decisions that will lead us to the life we were meant to live. The Authentic Self gives us feedback when we are out of balance and making choices that are not in alignment with our natural path of joy. It also gives us very clear feedback when we are on track.
There are daily practices that you can do to ensure regular and ongoing contact with your Authentic Self. The more consistently you stay connected, the more you will make the best decisions for your life. The more you make these good decisions, the more you will feel happy and in alignment with your true life path.

Intuitive Feedback
I am an intuitive. During sessions I offer intuitive feedback to give you assistance on moving more easily through your blocks and connecting with your authentic self.
""My experience with Shelley has been –well- life changing. She and her methods: inner bonding, breathwork, visualization, not to mention her profound compassion and endless wisdom creates the difference between an average therapy session and true healing. Working with Shelley allows me to heal pains of the past that stifled the pursuit of my true dreams and joys. For me she is an angel on Earth.”
Linda, Green Bay, WI
When you schedule a session you will be mailed or emailed (based on your preference) an Intake packet. In the Intake packet is an Intake form which have questions that ask about :
- Significant Background Information
- What healing methods you have used in the past
- Your current satisfaction with all areas of your life
- Your Goals and Dreams
The first session is 75 minutes. In this session we will review what you have filled out on the Intake form and discuss your goals for doing this work. I use a few different healing modalities in my work with clients: breathwork, inner bonding, guided imagery, EFT and powerful psychospiritual methods I have developed. During this first session I get a sense of the best methods that will be helpful to you and which one to start with. We will get started right away and do some healing in that first session as well. Many clients have life changing healing experiences in their very first session.
I offer a 20 minute free consultation to answer your questions and see if working together could benefit you.
The goal is to get you on track with reaching your goals as quickly as possible. You are meant to be living from your authentic self---living a wondrous life filled with joy, fun and deep connection with those around you. I want to have that happening for you as quickly as possible---why wait any longer!! To schedule a session or schedule a 20 minute free consultation or to request more information click here.
