Shawna rapidly created a safe and sacred space by being fully present, listening deeply, and exuding authentic kindness.

Wellness Coach

Shawna helped me turn my dream of becoming a health coach into a real plan. I was spinning my wheels, buying programs and feeling stuck, but she showed me how to actually start helping people. Now I have a clear way to launch my coaching business and reach the clients I want to serve. Her coaching gave me the confidence to move forward and make my vision a reality.

Before working with Shawna, I had the passion but lacked clarity and direction. She helped me align my strengths with my vision and shape a coaching practice that feels authentic and impactful. Now I'm moving forward with confidence.

Caitlyn C.

Forensic Advocate

I would love for Shawna to come to my Center and do a training with our whole team. Her presentation was clear, well-explained, and she brings great energy! She came with a MPC, (closed caption) that automatically wrote as she spoke for anyone with hearing difficulties. Her training helped me go from comfortable to confident.

Bree

Forensic Specialist

Shawna gave me a new level of confidence. What I’ve learned will not only strengthen my work as an advocate but also improve how I navigate everyday situations. This is truly valuable information for everyone. The most impactful takeaways for me were understanding the Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) framework and recognizing the signs of escalation—not just in others, but in myself as well. These insights have given me a clearer, more effective way to approach challenges.

Berglind

Sustainability Coach

I loved being coached by Shawna, she is so knowledgeable and generous. She always met me where I was and understood my challenges. She provided tools to get me to a better place with confidence, next steps and clarity. I am so thankful for her kindness and highly recommend her for not only corporate coaching, but personal development.

Kristina C.

Financial Advisor

Thank you for sharing your gifts the way you do and creating a space of kindness and accepting grace. After our time together, I’m feeling excited to learn more and am beginning to work on my songwriting now.

The SISU Method Framework

The SISU Method is a practical four step framework Shawna uses to help leaders move from constant triage to clear, steady leadership. Instead of asking you to “try harder,” it looks at what is really draining your time, systems, and balance. From there, we use behavioral science to interrupt unhelpful patterns, strengthen key relationships, and build simple structures you can actually maintain.
