About Shanna
Personal and professional development coach, former social worker, current MSc Psychology student and trainer/facilitator for workshops for schools and organisations.
My most valued role in life is being a mummy to 3 little gems. My own deep dive into personal development was as a result of the impact my own upbringing had on me, and how I wanted better for my children and husband. I recognised that I was reacting rather than responding to behaviours and thoughts that were not ‘ME’ at my core but were as a result of my experiences and beliefs gathered throughout my life. It was my responsibility to understand what impacted me and my perceptions, and address it so that I could flourish in my relationships, and as a mother.
Then while working in social work, I was astonished at the level of young women who were struggling with their self-esteem, resilience and confidence, and furthermore, the lack of knowledge and confidence of practitioners in working with these women. After having my first baby, I decided to invest in becoming a mental and emotional wellbeing coach. Over the last 6 years, I have worked part-time as a coach while also deepening my social work practice in a variety of fields with children and young people at the core of my work.
I loved my job deeply but decided to leave in 2025 for a variety of reasons, and now am fully committed and available to pursue my passions of supporting women and young people with their mental and emotional wellbeing, resilience, self-worth and their engagement in all areas of their life such as career, education, friendships and relationships.
I am so excited to welcome you on this journey with me and hope to serve you in the near future.
