A Safe Place to Remember What You Already Know
Shelby Shankland supports women who are ready for more: more joy, more love, more ease, and a more honest relationship with themselves. Her coaching creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for you to pause, listen inward, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom that can feel distant when you are stressed, overwhelmed, or carrying too much. Whether you are repeating the same frustrations, navigating a major transition, growing into leadership, or simply sensing that life holds greater depth, Shelby meets you exactly where you are. Drawing on decades of results-focused corporate leadership, Acceptance and Integration Training, Integral Coaching, Nonviolent Communication, nondual wisdom teachings, chakra-based Energetics of Success, and Reiki, she helps you understand your patterns without shame and choose a path that is more aligned with who you truly are. Shelby is also a Barrett Values Centre Certified Consultant, Usui Reiki Master, Certified LifeWorks Life Coach, Certified Lactation Educator and Counselor, Certified Postpartum Doula, Curvy Yoga Teacher, and Turn Up Dance Fitness Teacher. Her work is not about fixing you—it is about helping you access your own clarity, resilience, and capacity to create a life that feels whole, purposeful, and authentically yours.
Transformative Coaching for Your Inner Life, Relationships & Leadership
Each approach is tailored to your real life—helping you shift old patterns, communicate with greater honesty, lead with confidence, and create meaningful change from the inside out.
Integral & Energetics of Success Coaching
Integrate practical growth with whole-person transformation. Drawing from Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory and chakra energy systems, this coaching strengthens your mindset, habits, relationships, purpose, and energetic alignment for sustainable success.
Nonduality & Wisdom Teachings
Explore the spacious awareness beneath the stories, roles, and pressures that can keep you feeling separate or stuck. Timeless wisdom teachings support a deeper connection to presence, peace, and your own inner truth.
Nonviolent Communication
Build the skills to express what matters, hear others more clearly, and navigate conflict without abandoning yourself. Nonviolent Communication brings greater empathy, boundaries, and connection to personal and professional relationships.
