Sholder Directory

Throughout my journey, I have been immersed in a world of real: real challenges, real trauma, real life. Having navigated my way to discover a place of Oneness within my Self, my psyche, and my Source, I use active listening, powerful questioning, and empathic Love to help guide others find their place of emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey to reveal and embrace your own "real." How can I help?

It has been weighing on you. You feel contracted. Maybe for a day, maybe for a lifetime. I see you as more than this difficult situation, and I want to be there to support you as you remember that you already have what you need to find your way. No matter how long it has been, it is never too late to be free.“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”  ~ Anaïs Nin 

I have been on my healing journey for 3 decades and continue to be amazed at the potential of the human spirit when given a safe, non-judgmental, quiet space. This is the power and magic of this community and why I am a sholder. I feel that I have lived many lives in this one life and bring those experiences along with the, not as interesting, background in Business, Energy Medicine, Authentic Relating, and Improvisational Theater. 

I would be honored to hold space for you. I am a survivor of childhood trauma, cancer, and other life curve balls. Through my personal tribulations I learned that falling down was the first part of getting back up. I redefined priorities, and rearranged my life but it was after several false starts that I realized; I needed to dig deeper, to uproot deep-seated trauma, and rebuild my life from the ground up. As a recovering people pleaser, I have committed myself to finding my heart-led life and I would like to help you find yours.

Hi, I’m Beth—a guide and advocate for transformation and healing. My journey toward this path began in college when I first walked into a therapist's office and felt an undeniable calling to the work of healing. I pursued a degree in public health and dedicated several years after undergrad to building young leaders and supporting teachers, counselors, and therapists with the goal of reducing violence in school communities.

After transitioning out of the nonprofit world, I began working as a life coach manager. In this role, I had the privilege of supporting executive coaches, helping them elevate and organize their practices while also receiving guidance from some of the best in the field. It was during this time that I fell in love with somatic experiencing and the power of the mind-body connection.

Over the past year, I’ve embarked on a profound healing journey, exploring my depths and tapping into the power of community. My therapist introduced me to Sholder, and after my first session, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. The experience of working alongside others in this transformative space has been both powerful and enlivening.

I’m deeply empathic, with a unique ability to hold space for others' emotional experiences without losing myself in them. I’m particularly drawn to the wisdom our bodies hold, and the transformative power of challenging emotions (sadness, fear, and anger). While I was raised in the Lutheran tradition and still embrace some of its cultural elements, I identify as a humanist. I firmly believe in the potential of human connection and the healing power of nature.

I’m here to meet you where you are, to explore the boundless possibilities within you, and to support you on your journey toward transformation and self-discovery.

My whole life, I have always been really drawn to helping people.  My ability to guide others to see things from a different perspective is keen.  As a kid, I felt pushed into a corner to do things how others wanted me to do them, instead of allowing myself the freedom to be me.  Because of this, I have the unique ability to show people that life doesn't have to be so hard, if they can learn to rely on themselves for the answers they need.  

I also am extremely empathetic and my claircognizance is very attuned.  I can read people's emotions, thoughts or feelings without them really saying anything to me, and sometimes even predict certain situations that may arise for them.  Because of my distinguished healing abilities, in 2020, I became certified as a Reiki coach and shortly after in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Coaching.  I even dabbled a bit in Emotion Code coaching though I am not certified.  This led me to Sholder, where I became certified in 2024.  I fell in love with the skill of Active Listening.  It has taught me to slow down and listen, allowing space for those who need an ear.

I believe in the power of connection, our connection to each other and each of our connections to the Universe.  We all have this and we are all a part of it.  Through heightened awareness, I am able to tap into the daily signs given by higher self and trust in this power to help guide me through all of life's challenges.  Let me help you to do the same!!

“Untangle me”. These are the words I said to a counselor that held space for me in a very similar way to which I now space for others. They were the only words that made any sense to me as I felt completely defeated in every area of my life with no way of knowing where to start to unravel the tangled strands that consumed me - spirit, soul, and body. Today, my strands flow freely and it’s my turn to assist in the untangling of my wonderful fellow humans. If you need to talk, but have no idea where to begin, I’m here for that. If you know exactly what you want to discuss and have a very specific issue in mind, I’m here for that too. I will meet you where you are and we will walk through it together. 

My name is Claudia Morales

I am a passionate individual dedicated to the exploration of the human body and the profound messages it holds. With a keen interest in understanding the intricate language of the body, I embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.

This journey led me to delve into various techniques and disciplines, ultimately becoming a certified yoga teacher and an integrative healing practitioner. Along the way, I immersed myself in diverse practices such as sound healing, somatic therapy, and various breathing techniques, all aimed at unraveling the mysteries within.

The pivotal realization for me was the significance of the autonomic nervous system in shaping our physical and emotional well-being. Recognizing the profound impact of stored energy within the body, I discovered that releasing these hidden tensions, coupled with the power of intentional breathwork, can lead to a lighter, happier, and healthier life.

Having accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience through practices like yoga, sound healing, somatic therapy, and conscious breathing, I found my calling in Sholder, an integrative approach that resonates with the personal journey of each being I hold space for. Now, as a Qualified Sholder, I passionately hold space for others, guiding them through the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Through my own profound experiences and diverse training, I am committed to helping others embark on their own transformative journeys towards holistic well-being.

Hey there, beautiful soul! You deserve to feel free, to feel at peace and to exist in an empowered state. I want to serve as a medium, as a sholder to help you achieve that. I have lived what seems like a multitude of lifetimes in one incarnation. All of my unique experiences have armed me with the wisdom to objectively listen, understand and hold compassion for people from all walks of life. Let's collectively co-create a safe space conducive to bringing awareness to the magic contained within your situation. You are a living embodiment of love and light.  May our session be a catalyst that empowers you to integrate and transmute the energy around your situation to reflect the fruitful reality in which you are destined to thrive. 

For nearly 4 decades I've accompanied individuals, couples, families, teens and children from all walks of life through big transitions. My expertise is in guiding someone to their inner wisdom, where their own knowing of what's best for them reveals itself. By holding space, lending a heart and asking important questions, I have found that people find their way to their own answers. They feel confident and empowered to do so again and again as they learn how. This creates a self sustaining capacity for trust in oneself. Trust in oneself  is the key to our happiness.

Hi. I’m Diana, I am a nurse, mother, wife, and seeker of understanding myself, others and "Life" more deeply, that led me to also embrace a path of consciousness programs and exploration since 2014. 

I've come to value that we need each other, because we are independent AND interdependent in life.

I’ve learned the priceless gift of another person's “presence”, and soft place to land as "I am". That I wish to offer you, along with my passion for sharing embodiment exploration, a process that can help you hear your inner wisdom, and release stuck emotional trauma trapped in the body, to help you reconnect to your sense of worthiness, empowerment, and Grace for yourself and others.

I am certified as a Trauma Recovery Coach, Somatic Bodyworker, and IFS (Internal Family Systems) Informed.  I am always in the mindset of learning and growing from the inside out. This means, I do the work to bring the my inner world of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs into alignment so I can live my life more authentically.   I support people in making decisions and communicating in ways that align with their wants, needs, and goals.  I am here to lend you a shoulder to process your thoughts and feelings so you can live your authentic life! 

“The One became two for the joy of becoming One again.” Do you have the courage to express yourself in a raw and uncensored way? Are you ready to be truly witnessed? My Sholdering style creates a safe space for you to explore your raw emotions without judgment. My past struggles with addiction and depression have led me to some deep soul searching. For the past 14 years I have studied yoga, meditation, intimacy, relationships, and holistic wellness. I realize now that none of my suffering has gone to waste, as it has all led me to this moment, to be of service to others. It is such a privilege for me to be truly present with another person and have them share their true self with me. “We are all just walking each other home.” Will you walk with me?

I have a passion for helping others through connection and conversation. Throughout my life, I have been around mental illness, struggle, and complex life challenges, but I have been lucky enough to have a personal ability to see the positive side. This has enabled me to develop a radical acceptance of life and its inevitable stages, whether they be joyous or incredibly hard.  I am currently a student working on my masters in clinical psychology.  On top of my educational background, I have a solid spiritual orientation toward the necessity of being outside. The ability to enjoy the outdoors is a right that belongs to every single person on this planet and is key to good mental health. My personal beliefs are aligned with existential psychotherapy, which emphasizes concepts like death, acceptance of loneliness, the responsibility of being human, having freedom of choice, and your meaning in life. I know everyone can attain the strength to maintain stability in the most challenging times and be happy. I would be honored to be a part of your personal journey.

I have been empathic my entire life. I spent 20 amazing and satisfying years doing body and energy work as a clinical massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. I loved my work  savoring the connection made with each soul with whom  I had the privilege and honor to share trust in a sacred space. I feel that same energy connection here as a Sholder. This is what draws me to shift my focus here. A new way to make a difference - one Sharer at a time.

Your story is beautiful, and I want to hear it!

My name is Gage, and I’m often told that I have a soothing energy with a voice that was made for lullabies. I was set on the path of a healer through my journey of faith, spirituality, and energy work. In my past involvement in the charismatic church community, I began my focus on spiritual intuition, channeling messages from Spirit, and on inner and physical healing. Although I no longer follow the construct of religion, my faith and open curiosity awakened me to a world of healing through energy work. Using my intuitive abilities, I am able to guide others into their own spiritual encounter and process of inner healing.

Exploring and embracing my light as an empath, artist and musician over decades has led me into my purpose. I am able to feel into other's emotions, sometimes before they are able to recognize them and can see the layers of emotions that might be hiding beneath the surface. Premonitions and clarity concerning the past often bring about healing awareness. With the assistance of my Spirit Guides, I can help navigate and illuminate what intuitively is being laid before you.

Leaning into my unique embodiment of the masculine and feminine has catalyzed me towards supporting others through whatever form of self-discovery they are embarking on. I have found Sholder's beautiful, streamlined approach to holding space to be an amazing container for the kind of presence and support I love to offer people. I very much look forward to hearing your story and supporting you on your healing journey.

I’ve spent years raising my family, working as an artist and managing a successful real estate development company.

I have time now to focus on other endeavors that make me happy.

A friend recently introduced me to the concept of Sholder and I was immediately captivated.  I saw in this idea the potential to develop the skill of listening from a place of curiosity.  The mere idea alone made me happy.  We all have stories we want to tell.  They are important to us.  To have them witnessed is a gift.

As American author Berry Lopez said……”The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them.”

I hold that to be true.

Now that I have become a Sholder, I have the opportunity to listen and care for the stories I am given.

I look forward to meeting you.

A resident of Northern Utah, I began my healing journey about 10 years ago. Through expansive research internally and externally I discovered a variety of modalities that assisted in my healing.  I learned how to connect with my deep inner wisdom, to accept life as it organically unfolds, and to love unconditionally.  I uncovered a strong knowing that I am here to be of service, to hold and allow space for others who have felt isolated and alone, because I have experienced those depths.  

During my exploration towards spirituality I realized the importance of nourishing and balancing my own temple.  Living from a place of gratitude and grace allows love to be embodied and shared. Maintaining a practice of finding comfort in discomfort to build resilience. To tend and hold centered space for those in need of a voice.  

I am certified in Ayurveda, IFS Therapy, and Qigong with 5 years of experience.  I chose to be a Sholder because it echoes the purpose that I live by: to help others by listening, providing support, being open, and allowing space. This unique space is where my light shines brightly!   

We all said "YES" to this life, so let's lead with our BEST! I am here to listen, love, and respect you as a guide, no matter who you are.  Let me show up for you today!

People I’ve only just met often say to me, “I can’t believe I’m telling you this, but…” That’s how I first discovered my gifts as a healer. There’s something about my presence that engenders trust and assures people that it’s safe to talk to me about things that matter. I love holding space with people and allowing them to voice whatever is on their hearts. Space to say out loud the things that are scary, exciting, frustrating, and overwhelming. Space to be real and unguarded. And in naming those things, to experience a measure of freedom and release, a glimpse of hope that says even though this is tough, I’m going to be ok.

My life journey has been wide and varied. As a computer engineer, I worked for a decade in software and manufacturing. I then felt called to help people on their spiritual journeys, so I pursued a Masters degree in Divinity. I worked as a hospital chaplain in a few multi-faith settings, and then I served ten years as the pastor of congregational care at a United Methodist Church. After a decade of serving, I burned out. I found great respite and encouragement from the ancient spiritual practices of the mystics (breath prayer, meditation, contemplation, and others) and the wisdom traditions of all the world religions. Now, in addition to managing our family Christmas tree farm, I love helping people who are in helping professions learn how to serve in sustainable ways. As a trained spiritual director, executive leadership coach, retreat leader, and qualified Sholder, I’d love to hold space with you as you rest, heal, contemplate, and become more fully your true self!  

 My name is Jeni. I am a dedicated healer committed to facilitating people's journeys toward holistic well-being and self-discovery. Throughout my life, I have experienced many health issues and traumas, both emotional and physical. My healing journey eventually led me to the desire to be a healer for others.

After experiencing profound healing through yoga, I decided to become a Yoga Instructor to share this transformative practice with others. In 2019, I began my yoga practitioner training, drawn to the importance of movement and breath. Following a series of intense intestinal surgical recoveries, I discovered that movement and breathing significantly improved both my mood and overall state of being.

During my recovery, I was gifted a crystal sound bowl, which I would play to calm my nervous system. This ignited my love for sound healing and opened me up to learning more. I began incorporating sound samples into my yoga classes and started Sound Healing training that same year.

My journey led me to become a Certified Sound Healer, Advanced Ayurvedic Yoga Instructor, Holistic Life and Health Coach, and now a qualified Sholder. Through these experiences, I've discovered the profound importance of connecting mind, body, and breath.

As a Sholder, I create a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their inner wisdom. I believe that true healing comes from listening to your body, trusting your intuition, and connecting to your personal source of strength, whatever that may be. While I grew up religious, I now embrace a more spiritual approach that honors all beliefs and wisdom traditions. 

I am here to listen and guide you, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you uncover the wisdom that lies within.

 As a Sholder who walks deeply in faith, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can share what’s weighing on you, and as we hold that story together, my hope is that your burden would become easier to carry and that the spirit within you would provide the answers and compassion you seek.     I have worked in higher education and in non-profit and faith based organizations for most of my adult life. I am a step-parent of two young adults and a mother of two toddlers. I understand the desire to serve others and make a positive impact. I have also experienced the burn-out that occurs when I have focused primarily on the needs of others and did not tend to my own needs, feelings and inner world. If you are experiencing stress, burn-out or anxiety, I hope Sholder can be a space of respite for you.    I am a trained spiritual director and ordained pastor, and welcome conversations about faith and real life. Whether you are struggling to find deeper meaning in your daily life, are re-examining and re-defining your beliefs, or have been hurt by religion, you are not alone. As your sholder, I will listen attentively and encourage you to connect with not just your thoughts but also your emotions and your body, so that you can clearly connect with your authentic self.

 Hi! I’m Karen, a mother of two and educator with a passion for guiding others towards their best selves. Through the years, I've proudly worn the hat of a "cheerleader," offering unwavering support and encouragement to those around me.   

Navigating through emotions and thoughts alongside others feels like second nature to me, forming the relationships with family, friends, students, and colleagues. I thrive on understanding people's perspectives and needs, constantly seeking to learn and grow alongside them.  While at a work conference, I stumbled upon Sholder, a platform perfectly aligned with my values and aspirations. It was a serendipitous discovery that further fueled my desire to uplift and inspire those around me. As a devout Christian, I strive to embody the principles of love and service in all aspects of my life.

My sense of leadership, compassion, and empathy are integral parts of who I am. Every interaction is an opportunity to make a positive impact and leave a lasting impression on others. My genuine love for people fosters deep connections and encourages individuals to embark on their personal journeys with renewed determination.  With a heart full of warmth and a commitment to making a difference, I continue to spread positivity and inspire others wherever I go. I hope to offer support and inspiration as you navigate the ups and downs of life. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!

 I graduated from the University of Miami with a B.A in communications, I'm a certified intuitive life coach with almost a decade of experience, while working in the corporate world for Hollywood studios.  There is no greater satisfaction for me than seeing someone achieve their highest potential. I specialize in helping people find their purpose and reach their goals. I believe that everyone has the potential to be great. It is my mission to help others find their voice and create a life they love.  Whether you're looking for help in your personal or professional life, I can provide the support you need to succeed.  You are the hero of your own journey, and I am just the torch helping you brighten your darkest path. It would be an honor to be part of your journey. 

  As a trauma survivor, I’ve learned that healing and growth aren’t always linear.  Every soul’s path is unique, and each step forward should be celebrated–-like the saying goes, “Progress, not perfection”. I believe that nourishing the mind, body, and spirit are the pillars of living a balanced life, and that lifestyle, human connection, and self-care are indeed medicine. This belief led me to study Nutrition, Integrative Therapy Practices/Holistic Health, and after a major turning point in my life, to become a certified Spiritual Life Coach.              I would love to support you on your journey, please know you are not alone.  Together we will co-create a safe space for you to access the wisdom of your body and mind, a space where you are free to authentically express without judgment.  I look forward to connecting with you soon! 

 Welcome to Sholder, my name is Lara, but feel free to call me Tooch, if comfortable!  I see myself as a wife, a mother, a psychology professor, a connector, an empath, a nature lover, an athlete, an artist, a musician, a nurturer, and a humanistic & spiritual being.  I have been working in the mental health realm for over 10 years and have always been a shoulder to lean on throughout my life.  I would be honored to hold and share space with you.  Together we will explore your perspective of your experience and I will accompany and guide you as you tap into your inner wisdom, healing, and power.  

"Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion." 

- Buddha

One thing that always resonates with me is that you do not know what a person has had to walk through, until you've put on those shoes and gone there - you have no clue what you'd do if faced with the same situation. I think one of my gifts is this ability to truly recognize any judgement that may come up and defend against it.  Having overcome many obstacles in my own life, counseling and having a safe space to work through all of my trauma was paramount to my survival.  I was so stricken with insecurities and a devaluing of my own self-worth for the first part of my life that I hid away many of my spiritual gifts.  But because of the work I have done on myself, and the work that I continue to do, I would define my current state of being as a warrior, a fighter, and someone who wants to be strong for others when they aren't at a point of strength themselves. It is my way of honoring all of those who came alongside me to get me to the place I am today.

I am a Christian.  I've explored meditation, Buddhism, etc. I find value in many practices. I believe the entire Creation speaks to an intelligent Creator that lives within all of us. I also have a great amount of empathy, and I have a lot of discernment. I'm able to separate out my beliefs from others, and I know that nothing "sticks" in healing unless a person is able to come to those realizations for themselves. THEY have to unfold and be willing to discover their own journeys. I think this helps me to have a unique perspective when others are engaging in detrimental behaviors.  As a Sholder, I am merely the vessel to help you get there.

I think it's also worth noting that I'm a Harley girl. I have a Harley Sportster and grew up with a hardcore biker stepdad. He became my hero. I'm proud to say that I'm a whole lot like him today. 

As a Registered Clinical Herbalist, I delight in co-creating with nature, developing protocols for healing the body, heart, and soul in people and their pets.  I have been holding space for others as a professional and in my personal life for years. I truly enjoy it when people start to gain insight into themselves and their situations. I believe that everyone holds their truth within themselves and encourage them to navigate towards increased self-trust and self-worth. I am always looking for ways to bring community together by leading with my heart and curiosity.  My life has led me down many varied paths and I would be honored to be a Sholder for you and look forward to connecting soon. 

My name is Loida Dominguez. Yo hablo Español! I have been an empowerment coach for over 10 years and I’m happy to now be a Sholder as well. One of the things that I love to do is guide people to better identify themselves with the present moment. So that they can feel empowered by their decisions and live a life of freedom, created by choice. I offer a perspective of unconditional love and I’m committed to this being my life’s journey. Know that I am ready to hold space for you and that it would be my absolute pleasure to do so. If you desire to connect with me feel free to book a session. 

I have always been passionate about helping to empower people. From a young age, I had the innate ability to connect with people no matter what their journey has been. My educational background in communication studies and behavioral science allowed me to gain insight on how to better navigate and understand interpersonal relationships. Sholder allows me to sharpen, not only my skills in holding space, but also my spiritual gifts. Sholder encourages me to share my gift in a way that is structured and balanced, and they support and guide me in leading with my heart over my head. 

In 2020, I was on the verge of burning out, when I started listening to Eckhart Tolle on my walks after work.  My curiosity and need to live a more fulfilling life led me to examine my inner layers.  My connection to Source allowed me to see the beauty in my Story. The reasons behind my experiences, whether lessons or blessings, were all in preparation for me to live my purpose. Over the course of the years that followed, I went on a path of shedding old skin in every aspect of my life as I learned it no longer served me, began to trust myself, followed my intuition, all while practicing Gratitude and stepping into Faith. 

I am deeply empathetic.  I believe that Source speaks through me. When I am lending a shoulder, things that are specific to that person and what they are going through, allows that person to hear what is needed to heal and feel empowered. Healing is fulfilling to my heart and I believe it to be part of my life's purpose. I am divinely guided and protected. I believe in the power of using your intuition. The more you learn to trust your own intuition, the better it can guide you. Our healing can have ripple effects. The more we heal ourselves, the more Love is being put out into the world, one ripple at a time, and the world needs more Love.  You can become the co-creator of your life and watch how the Universe unfolds in support of You!

Hello, I live in the Colorado high country and love hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing.  I have taken many paths in this journey of life and am so grateful for the people who have helped me along the way.  I work with people one on one through bodywork and transformation coaching and am continually amazed at how much wisdom we each possess.  I would love to help you reconnect to your innate wisdom as a Sholder.  Thank you for considering me. 

As a trauma recovery coach and a survivor myself, I truly believe in healing, thriving, and living your best life.  Day to day, I know life can be hard.  I also know how empowering it really can be to talk through issues with someone who really hears and sees you  as well as to work through the entanglement of your situations!   I am beyond grateful to sit with you in that space and help you navigate through your own healing path.  

After four family members passed away at the Denver Hospice facility in 18 months and being present during the late stages of life I was able to see just how beautiful the death and dying process can be.  I was inspired after my family’s hospice experience to become a Reiki Master and volunteer at the same hospice where my mom, aunt, cousin and father-in-law passed away.  I am very comfortable with grief and would see it as an honor to walk with you during your grief journey.

I have had many challenges in my life: childhood trauma, family estrangement, relationship issues. Everything I went through helped me grow as a human and as a Being. In past careers, I was a workshop manager for PAX programs where I learned a great deal about the differences between men and women.

I truly believe we are all connected.  Though I am not religious, I am very spiritual.  My understanding of this human experience is that I am here to grow into the best version of myself and my ultimate goal is to raise my vibration to move forward on my path of spirituality, wherever that takes me.  I am here to help you heal, however you need. 

Where there’s discomfort and pain, there’s an opportunity for growth and healing. Sometimes you just need a mirror, a cozy space to reflect, and courage to open up to a new perspective! My intention is to create a safe container for you to express and explore your inner world by curiously listening to you, asking reflective questions, and witnessing you come to your own conclusions. As a Spiritual Life Coach, I have a spiritual perspective of healing and see you as a powerful and Divine Creator, able to alchemize and alter your reality with your intention and awareness. I love to lead guided meditations to help you quiet your mind and tune into your inner truth. I invite you to come as you are, and leave feeling more peaceful, clear, and understood. 

Hey there! My name is Stephy! (Fluent in Spanish) I'm here to remind you that if you believe in your power you will be unstoppable. You're your most important project and the life you've always envisioned for yourself is totally possible. I have gone through many challenges that led me to lose my self-worth and confidence. For many years I couldn't find clarity and always felt like an outsider. I've learned during my own journey that life is too short to settle, you have an important purpose in this world and you deserve to feel fulfilled. You're so full of potential, magic, and strength so open your wings and dream big. Healing is a process but it's so worth it! Let's walk together through a path of self-love, authenticity, and joy.  I know new adventures can be scary but the moment you decide to transform everything else expands.  All the answers are within, just hear your heart! 

 I believe that the answers already lie within us, and through courageous exploration, in a safe and confidential space, we can tap into that inner wisdom to help guide you. My role is to be here for YOU…. to listen deeply, with curiosity and without judgment. I’ve worked in corporate America for over 2 decades in multiple roles and am currently a Project Manager, Parenting Coach, and empty-nester. I have experience with children, divorce, guilt, grief, self-worth, self-esteem, depression, and career challenges in addition to creating loving, respectful relationships built on trust and heart-centeredness. 

 For most of my life people have always opened up to me as someone they can trust, and confide in.  This is what led me down the path of wanting to help others.  When I was young I had to develop a buffer due to my empathetic nature and an ability to feel others so deeply.  When I was expecting my first son, complications surfaced and I was placed in ICU at 26 weeks to protect the pregnancy. There, sitting in one place for an extended period, I realized a Truth, I had no control.  I discovered the power of meditation and letting go of the pressure that our circumstances may generate. I started embracing my intuitive premonitions, which I let go of at an early age, and even learned to read tarot cards to help family and close friends. Twenty years ago, I started a personal training company to help runners who sought out the ultimate physical goal, a marathon.  But that quickly transitioned into focusing most of my attention on special populations, pregnant women, aging adults and those with physical ailments in need of healing.  I got a degree in exercise therapy to help those leaving physical therapy that could extend their healing. At the same time, I discovered  my two sons were struggling with dyslexia. I immediately immersed myself in learning about the condition and began to advocate for my son’s specific educational needs.  In time, I used this knowledge to become an advisor for parents of children with learning differences, helping them frame the issues and finding the right educational setting.I chose Sholder because helping others utilizes my empathic skills. I find satisfaction in knowing that my innate abilities may have a positive impact and make a difference in someone’s life.  Let me be that for you.  I am here to help you.
