Reconnect to Yourself
to navigate pain points in life and business.
If something's not working for you...
...you might be out of alignment with Who You Are.
Going against your Purpose and Values doesn't feel good and is hard to sustain over time: at some point, when things start to break down, moving forward can become difficult or uncomfortable.
It's easy to avoid what's really going on.
It's all-too easy to address symptoms or mistake root causes. While this can work to some degree in the short-term, over time, failure to confront your experience is
- expensive: in time, energy, and money
- ineffective: won't take you where you want to go.
Another Way: Connect with Who You Are and your Unique Experience
In addition to the immediate relief that comes from being seen as your authentic self, you'll gain clarity on both your situation and the inner resources you can use to move forward.
What would you change if you had a magic wand?
This is the first question I ask my clients.
And it's what we work on using the Inner Compass.
Get your Inner Compass.
Identifying and articulating Who You Are - your Purpose & Values - illuminates which elements of a situation are problematic for you - and the inner resources and aligned actions you meet them with.
My Inner Compass Method articulates your purpose and values quickly and accurately. No externally imposed categories or labels; just your words and discerning analysis for a completely personalized approach.
This mirror on your perspective provides clarity. Your actions and results will follow suit, transforming your experience into one of grounded growth.

Career Change
I have been a public school teacher for 25 years. For the past 2 years, I've wanted to leave and work for myself. One of the things that makes this issue a difficult choice is a lack of confidence in myself, who I am, and in my skills and qualities. It is in this area that Shani has been most helpful. Her tools and kind, attentive listening have allowed me to clarity what I can bring to my future work that is both unique and original. This was a really exciting experience! I feel like I made big strides in knowing myself. I felt seen and was able to see myself. And...it's done, I've sent my resignation letter!

Finding My Purpose
I worked with Shani on identifying and defining my purpose.
I was really impressed by her process. She has an insightful way of digging in and asking questions to help you question the way your mind works, and what you're doing every day, and help you figure out how all of those things tie into a greater purpose for you.
It's a really interesting and eye-opening experience. It's made me think differently about how I go about my everyday life and thinking towards my long-term goals.

Hi, I'm Shani.
I care about navigating life - and how listening to ourselves and each other can help us do that. Clients and friends say my role can most closely be described as 'guide'.
In my toolbox:
- Words. I speak 4 languages (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese). I love grammar, phonetics, literature and theater.
- Unwritten Rules. I've applied my study of cultural rules to individuals and groups (Masters' degree in Intercultural Management & Organization).
- Uncertainty. I've had my share, as an expatriate, parent, and entrepreneur.
- Authenticity. I create safe, caring environments where people can be and explore Who They Are.
Clarity in Uncertainty
I sought Shani's guidance during a period of uncertainty in my personal and professional life, aiming to find a clearer direction and a sense of purpose. I greatly appreciate Shani's role in my life. Her insightful and empathetic nature has been instrumental in helping me understand myself better and in finding greater joy in my everyday activities. Shani has a unique talent for uncovering hidden strengths and fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness. Her approach is genuinely personalized, making our interactions not just helpful but deeply meaningful. Shani excels at asking thought-provoking questions that encourage reflection and personal insight, which has been valuable in guiding my decisions and directions. In times when I've faced challenges, Shani's support has been a constant source of strength. Her practical advice and encouragement have been key in helping me approach these situations with a more positive and resilient mindset. Thank you!

Life Redesign
I had the chance to work with Shani shortly after I had arrived in Strasbourg without a job and no clear idea of what I wanted to do after having quit my former job and life in a different country. Initially, I wanted to meet Shani and learn from her local experience as a coach, but when we met I discovered her incredible ability to read other people and support them in finding their true purpose. I decided to work with her to gain clarity about my professional and private future.
Shani helped me to better identify and articulate my strengths, values and aspirations and to get clarity what kind of work and life context would fit to my personality. I recommend Shani to everybody who seeks a empathetic and precise coaching that provides clarity and increased self-awareness to redesign their future.

Find Your Path
As a therapist and someone in the field of growth and personal development, I happen to be kind of picky and have a very high standard for the people who I lean on, for the people that I trust, for the people that I know can serve me to the highest level and standard and who can open my eyes and broaden my horizons in ways that I haven’t seen; to uncover those rocks that I haven’t even checked under.
Shani is someone who does that for me. I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge her profound, deep wisdom, and her ability to make you feel seen, safe, heard, loved; to be able to help you truly see where you are and where you’re going, and make the path extra clear so that you’re not only aware of where you’re going, but you’re not walking alone.
