WORK WITH ME
Masha Kay
nervous system coach, recalibrate
Masha expanded her six-month group program, created a more scalable offer, and continued growing her business through pregnancy and maternity leave. She also restructured her schedule to spend more time with her baby while increasing her income and programs. What once felt impossible became a way of growing her business that supported the life she wanted.
What's Possible Now
With strategic, creative, and operational support, Masha began turning ideas that once took months or years to develop into tangible offerings. Collaborative brainstorming, planning, and accountability helped her move forward without having to carry every aspect of her business alone.
What Shifted
Masha had spent years building a successful business, but continued growth was beginning to feel unsustainable. She had a bigger vision, yet couldn't see how to pursue it without adding more time, energy, and responsibilities to an already full schedule. With motherhood on the horizon, she wondered how she could possibly make room for both.
Where She Started
“I was able to change my schedule to spend more time with my baby while continuing to grow my income and programs.”
Growing her business without sacrificing the life she wanted.
Jenny T.
pickleball gear reviewer + content creator
Jenny describes a dramatically different chapter of life. She's working in a job she loves, attending school, creating content, and raising her baby. She credits the ongoing coaching relationship with helping her navigate difficult moments and continue moving forward.
What's Possible Now
Consistent, responsive support gave Jenny someone to turn to during the moments she needed it most. Rather than simply getting through difficult emotions, she began understanding the different parts of herself involved in those experiences. What once felt like setbacks became opportunities for greater awareness and healing.
What Shifted
Jenny experienced intense emotional spirals and rumination that could affect her for days. She also describes a period of feeling stuck in an unfulfilling dynamics, struggling to move beyond familiar emotional patterns.
Where She Started
“You actually make every spiral I have a pivotal point in my healing. Where I actually come out better.”
Turning difficult emotional spirals into opportunities for growth.
Emily L.
teacher + emerging retreat host
Emily is now in a relationship grounded in alignment and conscious choice rather than anxiety and emotional triggers. With relationships no longer occupying the same amount of mental and emotional space, she's turning more attention toward her career, goals, and deeper sense of purpose. Most importantly, she trusts herself to navigate whatever comes next.
What's Possible Now
Through parts work, Emily developed a more compassionate and accepting relationship with different parts of herself. She learned to sit with emotional activation rather than immediately react, building practical tools she could use independently to process and regulate her emotions.
What Shifted
Emily had spent much of her life preoccupied with romantic relationships, navigating anxious attachment, longing, and a tendency to live more in fantasy than reality. She wanted to develop a healthier relationship with herself and eventually experience a more secure, conscious romantic partnership.
Where She Started
“I now feel like I am coming home to myself including my goals, direction, and deeper purpose.”
Coming home to herself beyond relationship anxiety.
Leslee M.
scientist + breathwork facilitator
Leslee describes an emotional awakening and a greater openness to new experiences and meaningful relationships. She continues to value her thoughtful, analytical nature while feeling more connected to her emotions and the people around her.
What's Possible Now
Through parts work and body-based practices, Leslee began exploring her emotional experiences with greater curiosity. Rather than abandoning her analytical nature, she learned to appreciate the parts of herself that relied on logic while making more room for emotion, vulnerability, and connection.
What Shifted
Leslee wanted to experience deeper connections with herself and the people in her life. Accustomed to approaching situations through logic, planning, and problem-solving, she often turned toward thinking before exploring what she was feeling.
Where She Started
“I'm still me (which is lovely) AND I'm a version of myself who leans into emotion and curiosity of feelings before jumping to thinking and logistics.”
Discovering a deeper connection with herself without losing who she is.
Jay B.
new home sales consultant
Jay describes being able to set boundaries without the same feelings of guilt and approach relationships with greater clarity. Rather than feeling caught in confusion, Jay has developed more confidence in making decisions that reflect personal needs and values.
What's Possible Now
A supportive, nonjudgmental space allowed Jay to explore attachment patterns, boundaries, and the beliefs influencing personal decisions. This created room for greater self-understanding and more intentional choices.
What Shifted
Jay was seeking greater clarity and direction, particularly around relationships and personal growth. Navigating boundaries and understanding relationship patterns were important areas of exploration.
Where She Started
“I’m setting boundaries without feeling guilty. I’m leading with clarity not confusion.”
Finding clarity, setting boundaries, and trusting personal decisions.
Neeti S.
pediatric dentist
Neeti approaches her goals with a greater emphasis on fulfillment and purpose. Rather than measuring progress solely by what she accomplishes, she's learning to recognize the value of how she's growing and what she's creating in her everyday life.
What's Possible Now
Neeti began approaching her goals from a different perspective. Instead of starting with external outcomes, she explored the feelings and intentions she wanted her choices to support. Thoughtful questions and reflections also helped her recognize growth she hadn't been able to see for herself.
What Shifted
As someone accustomed to setting goals and pursuing tangible results, Neeti knew how to work toward what she wanted. But the focus on achievement sometimes overshadowed a more important question: how did she actually want to feel?
Where She Started
“Instead of focusing on the concrete results, I am more focused on cultivating fulfillment and purpose.”
Redefining success around fulfillment rather than achievement
Kelsey Leonard
Vocal Coach, Kelsey Leonard Vocal Studio
Kelsey feels lighter and more confident. She's able to set boundaries, prioritize her needs, and approach her relationships with greater self-compassion. Instead of simply understanding her patterns, she's experiencing what it's like to respond differently.
What's Possible Now
Through parts work, Kelsey began moving beyond analyzing her experiences. She learned to acknowledge the parts of herself she'd previously pushed aside, creating space for changes she hadn't been able to reach through intellectual understanding alone.
What Shifted
After years of therapy, Kelsey understood many of her patterns but struggled to turn those realizations into change. She felt stuck in burnout, constant activation, and familiar attachment patterns.
Where She Started
"I'd been in therapy for years but couldn't get past the realizations to actual changes."
FROM UNDERSTANDING HER PATTERNS TO CHANGING THEM
Jennie Stehli
entrepreneur + podcast host
Jennie describes less self-abandonment and self-sabotage in her relationships. Rather than automatically reacting, blaming, or attacking when difficult feelings arise, she's learning to pause, reflect, and respond with greater awareness and care.
What's Possible Now
Through parts work, Jennie learned to pause and get curious about what was happening beneath her reactions. She began recognizing the stories she was telling herself and developing a more compassionate relationship with the younger parts of herself that needed attention.
What Shifted
Jennie was navigating anxious attachment patterns that left her feeling overwhelmed and uncertain in romantic relationships. Difficult emotions could quickly turn into assumptions, reactions, and behaviors that didn't reflect how she wanted to show up.
Where She Started
“I've stopped abandoning myself. Stopped self sabotaging relationships.”
From self-abandonment and anxious reactions to curiosity and self-trust.
Alexis K.
mri technician
Alexis describes waking up most mornings with a quieter mind and feeling more compassionate toward herself. She's also able to connect with friends without feeling responsible for solving their problems. She has a clearer understanding of herself and greater confidence in navigating life's challenges.
What's Possible Now
Through journaling, parts work, and compassionate exploration, Alexis began understanding the parts of herself she'd spent years criticizing. Instead of treating difficult emotions as problems to fix, she developed a more curious and accepting relationship with her internal experiences.
What Shifted
Alexis struggled with rumination, perfectionism, and a critical inner voice that made it difficult to feel at ease with herself. Despite wanting to change, she worried that she might remain stuck in the same patterns.
Where She Started
“I feel like I have a road map for life and a relationship with myself.”
From constant rumination and self-criticism to a quieter mind.
Ali G.
traveling nurse
Ali feels more emotionally regulated and trusts herself more. Instead of feeling trapped in the same cycle of shame and self-doubt, she has a different relationship with her past and greater confidence in her ability to navigate what comes next.
What's Possible Now
A gentler approach to change helped Ali begin understanding how past experiences shaped the different parts of herself. Rather than being pushed toward positivity or a prescribed solution, she developed practical tools for approaching difficult emotions and uncertainty with greater awareness.
What Shifted
Ali felt trapped in a cycle of shame, overthinking, and second-guessing herself. Although she wanted to heal and make meaningful changes in her life, confronting her past often brought up so much shame that she would give up before she could move forward.
Where She Started
“I trust myself more and because of Sheila’s wisdom, I feel like I am finally off of the shame rollercoaster.”
Breaking free from shame and learning to trust herself.
Erin G.
graphic design student
When Erin experienced a panic attack, she was able to draw on what she'd learned to regulate herself and move through the experience with greater ease. The work became something she could use independently, even outside her sessions.
What's Possible Now
Erin began experiencing meaningful shifts in her old patterns. Each session helped her deepen her understanding of herself while developing practical tools for emotional regulation.
What Shifted
Erin was working through longstanding patterns she wanted to change. She also experienced moments of intense emotional activation, including panic attacks, and wanted healthier ways of navigating difficult experiences.
Where She Started
“Every time I have a session with her I feel like I’m shedding off a layer of my old unhealthy ways.”
Changing old patterns and learning to navigate difficult moments with confidence.
