Shelly Guernsey, Certified Life Coach & Lay Counselor for Women

Chapter 1: My then Business Coach, Diane Cunningham Ellis, said to me, "The world needs the evolution of you."
I have done just that!
I started my career as a Business Leadership Coach, Speaker & Trainer via John C. Maxwell in Traverse City, facilitating Round Table Mastermind Groups with Traverse City business owners and entrepreneurs, and Coached a gal as she prepared to head to Washing DC to advocate for laws for clean ingredients in products. That chapter was fun and such an honor.

Chapter 2: God inspired me to go personal and use my own story to Coach & Counsel women. I "retired" from business leadership and engulfed myself in Professional Coaching uniquely for Women. I'm still here - loving on, serving and coaching the most amazing women. Just like you!

The precious souls that I'm blessed to work with is such an honor. They are the strong and courageous ones and typically their resilience is off the charts. A safe place to be seen through eyes of love & wonder, heard with complete acceptance and validation of their reality, normalizing their fears, concerns and "What now?".
It's a refreshing and highly meaingful experience to share where there is zero gaslighting, no excuses made for your pain and reality, no trying to talk you out of your experience - ever, no walls, no rejection or dysfunction. Healing and creating a new normal for yourself is absolutely possible. I'm proud of you for being the one - doing what's right for you. Keep going - even if you're the only one. I see you, I know you, I've been you. And I applaud you. 👏

Day 1 of 5 for Functional Diagnostics (Labs)

Client intake process & a deep dive into evaluating a stress & hormone profile. (so fun)

Taught by supervisor, Elizabeth Gains FDNP

Sunday afternoon with Nutrigenomics. 🌿

Nutrigenomics is an emerging field that studies the interaction between genes, diet, and health outcomes. Genetic variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), can influence an individual’s nutrient requirements, metabolism, and response to dietary interventions.

By understanding the role of genetic variations in nutrient metabolism, naturopathic practitioners can develop personalized nutrition recommendations to optimize health outcomes for their patients.

As a Naturopathic Practitioner, I will continuously be immmersed in emerging and cutting edge science that benefits both my patients journey to health excellence, as well as my own personal love & passion for it.

VOTE BELOW! 👇

She's spent a generous amount of time alone, paying attention to the voice she's kept hidden and away from the world.

She's learned to be present in her emotions, processing them, yet no longer held hostage by them.

She's put in the time and worked hard to heal layers of toxic experiences and trauma from years gone passed - by the Grace of God.

She's found freedom from other's expections, judgements, and the world's cruel alienation.

She's emerging renewed and rising like a Phoenix.

She's living a life of savage honesty & self rsepect.

She's forgiven and loves all, all the while keeping herself safe and in tune to her limits and need to control only her own agency.

She is me.

Is she you, too?

To the Women who are stepping out, starting conversations, making connections even though their knees are shaking from the angst of stepping outside of their familiarity level, I applaud you. The opposite of loneliness, depression and isolation is meaningful connection. Keep going - I'm proud of you!

Always observational and a deep thinker, I likely was wondering if the photographer was happy and what his home life was like. 😄 My love and compassion for people started at a very young age. I have memories on the playground of rallying other little girls around me so I could talk to and love on them. What was that about? God knew. Even then, what was to come in my adult life was evident in my tender, sprout of a heart. You have one of a kind, God given uniqueness too. Don't forget and don't compare your precious beauty with anyone elses.

SLEEP is more than just a buzz word.

Adequate and quality Sleep is particularly crucial, and during this rest period, your body releases several hormones, including melatonin, arginine vasotocin, serotonin, and epithalamin, all of which contribute to overall wellness, cognition, mood status, stress management, anxiety reduction, appetite regulation, and slowing the aging process. (and there are more perks)

I want to help you create a Bomb of a Holistic Sleep Hygiene Plan.
Try it over the next 7 days and see how differently you feel. Then after 30 days, I think you'll be amazed at the modification of your inner and outer self. ⬇️ Schedule 1 Coaching Session with me & get a 2nd Session 50% off! Your body & mind will thank you for it!

I'm not a follower for the sake of tradition that has no relevance to me. Going against the grain because it's not useful or doesn't align with my life is also easy for me. Heck, I didn't start to hit my zenith until I entered my 50's. Do you feel like you're behind, a late bloomer, or getting scoffs because you dance to the beat of your own drum instead of the music society/family/university/world expects from you? You are my people! God knows exactly what He's doing in you and in His perfect timing. Cheers to you - keep going!👊

You’ve got this.

To enjoy being fully present in your own company is a form of self respect and nuturing. Practice this celebration of who God created you to be daily.

When you’re enamored with God writing your story and trusting His beautiful work, you won’t be compelled to compare yourself to others. 💜

My studies in Naturopathic Medicine are currently intertwined in The Triad: Brain, Heart & Gut (enteric system, vegus nerve, prefrontal cortex, etc.) Please hear me when I say that what you ingest has a PROFOUND impact on your MENTAL HEALTH. Depression, anxiety, brain fog, etc. are highly influenced by what we consume in food, water, legal and illegal drugs, and a multitude of other toxins, whether its through our mouth or our skin.

The Brain: Every single function within our bodies, from the basic act of breathing to the intricate dance of thoughts and feelings, is controlled by this exceptional organ. Its complexity lies not merely in the sheer number of neurons it holds (approximately 86 billion), but in the astronomical number of connections each of these neurons forms. Each neuron connection creates a unique pathway, much like the circuits within a computer system, facilitating the transmission of signals and the processing and storage of information. Consequently, the importance of maintaining brain health becomes abundantly clear, given that disruptions, caused by factors such as diet and exposure to toxins, can impair the brain’s functionality, leading to a wide range of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
(Excerpt from Scholistico)

Think sugar, ma*****na, copious amounts of caffeine, alcohol (there's no "safe" dose), GM foods, MSG, processed "junk" food, etc. don't affect your mental health? There's a direct link between what you consume and your mental wellness.

Need help? Find a reputable Naturopthic Practitioner to help you make exchanges for optimal mental health.

You are the gatekeeper of what you consume.
Let what you take in be nothing short of edifying.
The movies you watch, the music you listen to, the conversations you are a part of, the relationships you allow into your inner circle; they all speak to your brain. What are you telling yourself?
Want an excellent, beautiful life? Be an excellent gatekeeper. 🛡⚔️
