You’ve got a ring on your finger and a date on your calendar, but you’re quickly realizing that wedding planning isn’t as blissful as you hoped. You’re overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, and exhausted. From decision fatigue to spotlight fright; family drama to bad bridesmaids; difficult vendors to tight budgets, and of course unpacking and letting go of the emotional baggage that you don’t want to carry into your marriage… engagement and wedding planning is an emotional maze. The truth is most brides feel tired, stressed, and often times isolated. Left untreated these feelings can develop into true anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Have you experienced something in your past that you feel is holding you back from achieving your full potential? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, there's a small voice of doubt in your mind that stops you from taking a chance or living an authentic life?

When we face major life changes such as a career shift, move to a different city or country, or start of parenthood, we often feel lost. Although life changes, we do not always change along with it. We might be struggling with anxiety or depression, or we might not even be sure what we are facing. We need assistance to process, sort it out, and understand what is happening and who we are now. This is the ideal place for that. Shelena will provide you with the space and support needed to navigate through changes, find better ways, determine the next steps, and discover peace within change.
