Shelley truly has a gift of helping people which is unique. I was introduced to Shelley when I was going through a rough spot in life. I felt stuck in all aspects. I knew where I wanted to be, but was not sure how to get there. She has helped me really dig deep and figure out my true path; even though it was a direction I thought was not an option. My eyes have been opened to new possibilities and she has inspired me to get outside of my comfort zone, as that is the only way you truly grow. I am grateful that I have her by my side cheering me on to becoming the person I was meant to be. I look forward to what my future holds. I am more than happy to give credit to Shelley for helping me see my potential. Thanks Shelley!
