Testimonials
Katie M. - Director of Operations
Shanti was referred to me at the beginning of what I knew would be a difficult period at work, and I was hesitant about taking on the commitment. I was “too busy” and “too stressed” to step outside of my comfort zone and coaching would be just another project to “deal with”. Yet by the time of our second coaching session, it became clear that the better question would be how I could accomplish all I needed to without Shanti’s coaching….
Her guidance was transformational for de-calcifying deeply entrenched behaviors and attitudes. I know I can count on Shanti to be an empathetic supporter, and to always ask incisive questions in just the right way.
Farrah B. - Certified Professional Coach
I met Coach Shanti in 2021 during a very evolutionary period in my life…. I was fortunate because our connection put her in position to become my coach. Life was coming at me fast, and my work with Shanti helped me to slow down, get quiet, and search within for the clarity I needed to navigate my next moves.
What I’ve learned through my work with her is that I desired to live life through the lens of my 6-year old self. That little girl is bold, fearless, excited and capable. For a time, I forgot she existed. I buried her so deep I could only hear her whimper. But today, she is out and loud. Having Shanti in my life has been a blessing. She often said to me, that to seek clarity from within is the kindest thing you could do for yourself. Today, I believe that and know it to be true.

Wes E. - Certified Coach, Facilitator, Trainer
As a person that invests in Shanti’s coaching services, I can speak from experience; She has the pedigree, which is a badge of accomplishment, educational achievement, and competency.
More importantly, she possesses the intangible “it” that makes her stellar at the very human work of coaching. Shanti provides the safety, curiosity, intuition, gut instinct, kindness, authenticity, and wisdom that no coach can simply acquire…they must BE these latter things.
I recommend Shanti as a coach for anyone wanting, needing, and READY for transformational change!
