My Story

So often, we hear about people who are stuck in a rut. They have a lot going for them yet still don’t feel happy or fulfilled. Or they’ve put their dreams on the back burner as they’re busy with their current career or family.

They’re exhausted, carry a lot of guilt and prioritize themselves and their wellbeing last.

Or they have trouble saying no and setting boundaries.

Perhaps they’ve been holding a piece of themselves back or don’t bring their authentic self into certain areas of their life?

Sound familiar?

I get it. That used to be me.

I had a lot going for me, yet something was lacking which I usually ignored by drinking wine and eating lots of chips.

It took spending 31 days in the hospital with my then five-year-old and missing out on a job promotion for me to take a step back and realize life was short and I wanted feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.

Taking Action

So, I set out on a journey working with therapists, coaches, past managers and mentors.

I created and was held accountable to healthy habits and routines in my life to get the energy and focus I’d been desiring.

I uncovered and transformed old belief patterns holding me back, and I realized my true calling was to help others live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Then, I jumped without a parachute and quit my full-time job in advertising with a steady, cushy paycheque to chase my dreams and haven’t looked back since. And although I still enjoy wine, I don’t need it to numb out a long workday anymore.

Client Success Stories

"Before working with Shannon, I was pretty skeptical of working with a coach. But then I found myself in a rut in my career and looking for guidance to bring more excitement and fulfillment back into my work. I can't believe how much changed in my career in my 90-days of working with Shannon. I feel more passionate and fulfilled by finding a role I truly enjoy, have developed better coping mechanisms and spend more time on things that give me energy. What I enjoyed most about Shannon was her style and guiding me to think things through myself and come up with my own answers versus being told what to do".

“I really loved this journey with Shannon. She gave me the tools and resources I need to get unstuck in all aspects of my life. So many “AHA” moments but, my big takeaway is that I am enough! I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their life. You will not regret it!”

"I signed up to work with Shannon as I was struggling with what I wanted to do with my career and I also wanted to create some healthier habits in my life. I thought figuring out what I wanted in my career would be hard but with Shannon’s coaching, she was able to ask me questions that uncovered what I really wanted. My 3 main results of working with Shannon are I discovered what I want to do career-wise and have started the steps to get there, I’ve learned to trust my gut more and I’ve started making movement part of my weekly routine. What I loved most about coaching with Shannon is she is so positive, a good listener and she helps you narrow important decisions on your life."
