If you feel like you have hit a wall, are struggling significantly, and feel lost...you are likely ready to level up in your life. Discomfort often signifies that you are outgrowing your life as it is now. The life journey follows various cycles, and when you find yourself in a downswing, this often means you are digging up some deep stuff that does not serve you anymore. The process can be very painful, but when you are able to take a step back you will find that everything you are experiencing and worrying about is simply the mind, body, and soul trying to tell you "this has got to go" for your well being and best life. If you can get into the flow of your life, you will find that these down times are rich with information on what is holding you back. Are you brave enough to listen?

Whenever you feel the call to do wellness work, you are ready. How far you will go in that round of healing is up to you. For the deep transformative work Shontae specializes in, you'll need to be realistic. If you aren't willing to commit to yourself, you aren't ready to work with Shontae yet. If you want to change your life and are willing to work for it...you are ready. Show up and try. Shontae can guide you through the dark, but you are the one who will take each step.
