I’m Shawna - I’m a Human Potential Detective.
As a kid, I loved Nancy Drew, a teenage detective who always solved great mysteries. Along with wanting to be a rock star, scientist, and wildlife photographer, I was convinced I’d have great adventures like she did.
In a way, I am.
I just turned that curiosity toward people — how we think, how we behave, and why we sometimes feel stuck even when we want change.
Since 2007, I’ve been working as a Professional Life Coach. My coaching practice began in Edmonton, Alberta, where I lived and worked for many years, and now continues online with clients in Edmonton, Lloydminster and across Canada.
Along the way, I’ve continued to deepen my work through training, adding to my diploma in Holistic Health Therapy and studies in applied neuroscience, Emotional Freedom Technique and NLP.
But more than anything, my approach has been shaped by nearly 20 years of working with real people through real life.
How We Work Together
I help you notice patterns that aren’t always obvious—in your thinking, your habits, your decisions, and how you respond to challenges. When you can see those patterns clearly, you can begin to change them.
And that’s where things start to shift.
Together, we:
-
Identify what’s actually getting in the way
-
Clarify what you truly want
-
Create practical, realistic ways forward
I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer perspective and resources and help you stay focused on what matters most. You'll be supported every step of the way.


My Life On Purpose:
-
Coaching, collaborating, and connecting with others
-
Reading anything that helps me better understand people and the world
-
Watching great movies (and occasionally quoting them in sessions!)
-
Taking care of my body with good food, movement, and Pilates(and in my world, chocolate is definitely its own food group… and a superfood)
-
Wearing blue
-
Spending time with my wonderful husband, Jodi
I would love to work with you as you build your Life, On Purpose!
