Transformational Testimonials

  • “I had been struggling with a few issues for a couple of years and really wanted to find a positive way to resolve them. I tried coaching and found the entire experience to be so rewarding! I was able to mentally move through my issues (and tackle a few extra things that I didn’t even realize I had been holding onto…) way quicker than I thought possible. I was able to explore a few painful areas of my life in a safe and productive way. I now have a better sense of self and an increased awareness of my needs. There was a lot of mental heavy lifting to be done, but Shannon was a very capable steward and I felt supported the entire time..”

  • “I am grateful for the wellness/executive coaching provided by Shannon Speaks at Nourish C&C. I had 9 sessions and felt clarity and lighter after each meeting. My goals were to manage work conflict and stress and to find my voice, rather than conform to a mold that doesn't fit. Shannon's probing questions were challenging at first, but once I allowed myself to look within, be vulnerable and stop feeling helpless, it was empowering. We created an action plan and goals at the end of each session and I felt heard and supported. Shannon's honest and reassuring presence helped me dig deep to live a more authentic life, at work and home. My mental and physical well being improved after my coaching experience and for that, I'm eternally grateful to Shannon.”

  • “If you asked me to pick one word to describe my coaching experience with Shannon I would say ~ SPECIAL! Yes, a very special and one of a kind experience. When I started coaching with Shannon I was in a difficult place in my life; with more questions than answers. I had a dream and goals but an unclear path . I found Shannon's warm approach, her kind and gentle spirit refreshing because it allowed me to feel safe. I felt safe to share with her during coaching sessions the many complex thoughts and emotions that were coming up for me during this time. Shannon helped me work through the insecurities and the challenges of finding the balance of staying healthy and happy while building a business. I am happier as I am closer to that dream every day. I have achieved goals I set and more, this includes expanding services in my business and increased profits. I can finally say that I am a Confident Leader and Entrepreneur! I will always be grateful for her coaching and support! I highly recommend my coach, Shannon Speaks, LISW-S, Whole-Person Coach.”

  • Mindfulness @ Work

    Shannon’s training was incredible and so informative. Our attendees learned a lot about how to engage their personal and professional values to live a more integrated and balanced life. It was a great way for members to take a pause, to reflect and to have actionable takeaways. Shannon was a pleasure to work with and I’d recommend her training to anyone looking to practice mindfulness more effectively!
