“Shelley is an incredible coach. She has a warm and caring personality and is always looking out for you and how to add value. She was really able to understand, empathise and relate to what I was experiencing. Having someone who understood me and held the space for me to explore my internal dialogue and talk through my challenges has made an immense difference.
As a Scientist, having someone who also understand the scientific principles that govern the mind was honestly game changing. Could not recommend her more highly. ”
