My Story

Hi, my name is Shelley and I am a life long recovering perfectionist.  Someone once told me people who are perfectionist are scared- scared they will make a mistake and people will not like them.  Sad but true, I have spent most of my life with that thought in my head.

​

I spent 20 years in corporate America chasing money and advancement.  I was very successful professionally but personally I was suffering.  I felt I lacked purpose and meaning in my life and work. There had to be more to life.  So I followed a passion of mine  and ran a successful boutique fitness studio in Northern Virginia for 7 years.

​

During that time, my personal life hit rock bottom.  My marriage was suffering and ended in divorce, I admitted to a 30 year battle with an eating disorder, and everything seemed to spiral downwards.  Eventually my business permanently closed due to COVID.  I lost my identity in life.

​

Fortunately I find my own Life Coach and the Awareness Model that helped me turn around so many areas of my life.  By changing my thoughts, a new life and career opened up.  I healed, forgave others, found my purpose in life and gained total dependence on God. 

​

I promise you do not have to be stuck and struggling forever.  Together we can help you towards your own definition of Better Living.
