Testimonials from 1:1 Coaching Clients

Working with Shaleece is nothing short of profound.  Just one session with her feels like three months of talk therapy. She is deeply professional, kind, and unwavering in her commitment to helping me reach the intention I walk in with. In my life, I am often hesitant to be my authentic self for fear of being judged. With Shaleece, I don’t feel judged. I feel safe, supported, and gently guided to explore the issues that have followed me my whole life. Instead of reopening old wounds, I release them. That’s the difference and that’s the gift she brings to this work and my life. 

If more people did this work, we would have a better planet of people walking around!

When I first started working with Shaleece, I was completely overwhelmed. I was deep in the chaos of raising twins and I didn’t know who I was outside of being a mom. I longed to return to my creative pursuits but couldn’t find the confidence or clarity to begin. Through our work together, I started to notice the small moments when I would shrink or second-guess myself. I learned how to pause, come back to my body, and make choices that felt true instead of reactive. With her guidance, I reconnected with the imaginative, playful version of myself I thought I had left behind. That shift changed everything. I began showing up more fully in my creative work, in parenting, and in relationships. I found strength in slowing down and listening inward. The impact has been subtle and profound, and I carry it with me every day.

I have achieved so much over the last two years with Shaleece and I’m so excited for my future with this new somatic approach!

I sought help from Shaleece to process a challenging interpersonal relationship situation. I was looking for a way to honor my needs while being responsive to the other person’s needs. Through coaching with Shaleece, I not only have practices that I’m excited to apply to all my interpersonal relationships, but also uncovered deeply buried patterns that once worked for me but are now no longer serving me. Shaleece constantly brings me to my body, so that the learnings are not just cerebral, but land in my tissues. I benefited a lot from Shaleece’s warmth, curiosity, care, and the ability to hold a safe space for me to dig deep in vulnerable parts.

Shaleece’s work with me transformed my healing experience. Her sharing of somatic practices fostered my wisdom and belief in my body’s ability to hold and heal. The profound way I experienced centering with her gave me inner strength.  An additional fundamental shift for me is how I speak to my own feelings and patterns-with gratitude for keeping me safe rather than judgement. Her care allowed me to embrace ease and build authenticity within my relationships.

In working with Shaleece I’ve felt mirrored, held and guided more deeply towards myself and my longings. In coaching, she is present emotionally and in her own body, and holds space with an expanded gentleness that invites me to do the same. I’ve found her questions to be incisive and instructive while leaving so much room for me to respect my own process.

Testimonials from Workshop Participants & Group Coaching Clients

Group coaching with Shaleece was a beautiful experience of connection: with my own truths and with others. Spending an hour and a half engaging in somatic practice brought me out of the chattery surface narratives and deep into myself—into what I was feeling, needing, wanting, fearing, grieving—and then out on the other side into a cleansed, calm, connected state. Practicing somatics in a group with others is amazing: their experience, their insights, their honesty, becomes part of yours.

— Ruti T.

As a person with almost no experience with somatics, I came to this workshop feeling curious and excited, but also a bit anxious. I found Shaleece's approach to be welcoming, encouraging, and engaging. The structure of the workshop made the shift from being in my head to inhabiting and listening to my body feel not only doable but like something I'd really like to experience and explore more. I look forward to doing this again!

Testimonials from Somatic Bodywork Clients

I wasn’t sure of what to expect for my first bodywork session with Shaleece…and I was blown away! Every point of conversation or contact was carefully tailored to my needs and my personal experience with her. 

Before I even got on the table, I found myself in grounded reflection with Shaleece, exploring why I was there and what my specific longings were. Taking the information I gave Shaleece, she created a holistic experience for me that was significant. Her experience as a bodywork practitioner stands out through her firm, yet gentle contact and her ability to see what it is that my body needs in any given moment. I left that experience wanting more and feeling changed about how I experience and relate to my body.
