Shaelyn offered me a compassionately creative blend of knowledge, skill, and attuned presence in support of my healing journey. She was an invaluable guide and companion as I sought to liberate myself from a past that had taught me, "your needs do not matter." Shaelyn's wise and tenderhearted insights continuously reflected the truth that I do matter and our work together facilitated the safety I needed to reconnect with my authentic self.
Shaelyn is the person you need in your life to help you jump into your vision and show up in the world exactly how you were destined to be. Shaelyn has the refreshing ability to identify where our pain and our hurt lives and steals our power. She is so warm and nurturing it allows you to feel safe. Working with Shaelyn gave me permission to be vulnerable. I now have the courage to express my emotions and needs without feeling like a burden. I highly recommend giving yourself the gift of working with Shaelyn and fully becoming who you are meant to be.
Shaelyn has a beautiful way of connecting with her clients. I always felt validated and supported. Shaelyn draws on her many tools to meet the specific needs of each client. My need was to not go too deep, too fast, which was always honored. Shaelyn taught me how to ground myself in ways that work for me and helped me trust my inner wisdom again. Then I was ready to address the life experiences and old wounds that could not be solved with logic alone. Once acknowledged, it was a catalyst to recharge my energy, feel a sense of peace and bring about positive opportunities. I am feeling blessed. Shaelyn helped me remember who I really am, for that I am forever grateful for her.
Shaelyn never fails to listen and observe with curiosity while shaping and guiding the session for maximum clarity. Her holistic approach can include guided meditation or incorporate movement to stimulate a parasympathetic response, resulting in a refreshed state of being. I’ve personally recommended friends to connect with Shaelyn because I’ve gained great insight, inner strength, and peace from working with her.
Shaelyn is an incredible mentor who helped me to embrace my vulnerability as a strength. Before working with Shaelyn, I cared too much what others thought of me to freely express myself. Now I have the tools, confidence and feel so much MORE comfortable in my own skin. I am eternally grateful I decided to face my fears of vulnerability and hire Shaelyn as my coach.
Shaelyn Cataldo is an incredible healer, teacher, and leader. The space she creates through her workshops is safe and nurturing and a perfect container to just relax enough to deeply explore yourself and expand. Shaelyn is tapping into what it means to authentically re-connect to sacred femininity in a modern and unbalanced world! The moment I connected with Shaelyn through her Journey Dance workshop, I knew I needed to connect with her on a deeper level.
Shaelyn is generous and community oriented. She is the epitome of what it means for women to rise up while pulling other women up with her. If you want to connect with a community of loving, women who are jumping fully into healing themselves, their families and their communities, then start by connecting with Shaelyn
It’s truly extraordinary to witness Shaelyn’s calling in the creation of sacred space, with all her gifts, all connected and interwoven and being brought into service in such a powerful, magical and intentional way! She truly is a magic weaver. I know for myself, since sharing sacred space with Shaelyn I am so much more tapped in to my own aliveness and have become so much less afraid to be, to really be my authentic self.....as I’m getting to know better who that actually is.
The connections I made in just 2 coaching sessions with Shaelyn were better than 10 weeks of regular therapy! Shaelyn’s support to tap into my Inner Mother has helped me to come to terms with my own desires for love and admiration. She was there to hold sacred space for me to feel the emotions I needed to and help me come into my own power as I explored my inner anxieties.
To listen to my needs was not part of what was taught or modeled. Like many people in this society, I learned that my value comes from how well I can do something, how much I can get done, how much praise I receive, or how happy and comfortable I can make those around me feel. Mother the Mother is a total pattern disrupt. Shaelyn provides incredible tools, rituals, and beautifully models how to decondition these deeply held beliefs that many of us carry.
My life is different since working with Shaelyn. I am now more present, mindful, and peaceful with my children which is such a gift for me and for them. I feel more confident to set boundaries in my life and to say no to things that do not serve me or that feed my anxiety. I found freedom from resisting feeling certain emotions and now can allow them with more ease. Shaelyn’s support helped me find more inner peace. Since working with her I have been able to see and embrace all the parts of me that make me who I am and live with more confidence in being my true self.
I’ve been able to accomplish more in a few sessions working with Shaelyn than in the past few years of attempting my own healing work. She really made me feel seen and understood by listening to my story and articulating back what she heard in such a crystal-clear way. The clarity alone was immensely helpful but then, through ritual, she also guided me to truly embody my pain (no longer just intellectualizing it). Embodying all my emotions is what finally led me to release them and heal. Shaelyn set me up for continued success through teaching me about reparenting and helping me connect to my Inner Mother-- an inner voice and energy that is utterly nourishing that I can turn to from now on. I will forever be grateful to Shaelyn for the healing process she guided me through. I feel like I am becoming the woman and mother I have always wanted to be.
