Shana set the tone for meaningful, confidential sessions and ensured me how questions were connected to exercises and probing was only necessary for the development of me. I never felt invaded or skeptical about telling her any information.

Shana brought perspective and the ability to acknowledge my feelings/thoughts but also ‘flipping the coin’ to see the other side of things.

Shana’s greatest strength was her ability to come at a challenge or concern I had from various angles. Sometimes I would be locked in on a behavior or pattern and Shana had the ability to reflect on the challenge with fresh perspective.

Shana took the time to understand the dig in to resolve the actual problem not just the symptom. She did not let me get away with surface answers and challenged me to explore what was underneath.

Through my experience with Shana, I have learned that my instincts and gut reactions have always been good/valid. In sharing these with my coach and hearing that my thoughts and reactions were on point, it made me realize I should not be so doubtful of them moving forward. It seems that sharing and hearing someone else validate them, was needed.
