I'm Shailia — Your Guide to a Lighter Life and Simpler Success

Here's my story...


I’m a logic-loving, people-reading, spiritual coach who once won the equivalent of an Oscar for digital marketing. (Technically: a Cannes Lion. I’ve got a few.)

I studied math (later business) in the deep South, trained to be an educator, and somehow ended up in Germany running digital strategy for global brands.

Big wins. High pressure. No life outside the office.

Then my brother was killed at 28 while serving in Afghanistan. That day, I decided: I’m done postponing the life I want — I would live for us both.

I left the career, got a master's in coaching, and built a business helping people calm their minds and create the lives they want.

These days, I coach online from my house by a forest stream in the Taunus, Germany, or from a seaside guesthouse — always with my two dogs nearby.

I’ve worked with people in boardrooms, hundreds of home offices via Zoom, and in refugee camps.

In addition to my coaching practice, I lead mental health programs in African orphanages, schools, and vulnerable communities — work that teaches me daily to see the wholeness and potential in all people, no matter their circumstances.

It’s never too late to reclaim ease and clarity.
If you’re ready, it can start with a conversation.

Two Coaching Paths, One Goal: A Life That Feels Truly Yours.

Whether your struggle is showing up at home, in your business, or both, we start by quieting the noise so you can think clearly, feel deeply, and move forward in a way that’s lighter and truer to you. From there, you choose the path for this season of your life:

The Lighter Life Path

3-Month Life Coaching

If each day starts with tension and your mind can’t switch off, this is your path back to presence. In three months, we’ll clear mental clutter, steady your heart, and reawaken your life’s ease. Whatever your heartfelt desire, we'll unleash it so you can achieve it. Expected outcome: a quieter mind, a lighter load, and more room for joy.

The Business Reset

6-Month Mentoring for Coaches

If running your coaching business feels heavy, filled with ‘shoulds’ and overwhelm, this is your reset. In six months, we’ll simplify your strategy, attract clients naturally, and let your business reflect who you truly are. Expected outcome: a business you love running, a steadier income, and more space to live your life the way you love.

You’ve Been Carrying
More Than Anyone Knows
...

Life & Mindset Coaching for Thoughtful Humans

 
It’s been going on so long, you can’t remember when life last felt light.
There’s tension in your chest before you even get out of bed.

Your mind loops through what-ifs, yesterday’s conversations, and the unfinished things you “should” be doing.

Even the parts of life you love feel muted — like you can’t quite let your guard down, always trying to stay in control by thinking about it all a little more.

You’re not looking for another fix-it program. You want a mind that gives you peace instead of noise.

You want your way back — to calm, to clarity, to feeling like yourself again… and living a life you love.

That’s where we start.

And from there, life opens in ways you might not even imagine yet.

What might be possible if your mind were quiet and your life felt lighter?

You’ve Been Building
Your Business the Hard Way…

Business Mentoring & Marketing Strategy for Coaches


You can hardly remember the last time it felt fun and light. Most days, your head is full before you even open your laptop.

You’re thinking about leads you “should” follow up with, posts you “should” write, strategies you “should” try — all while juggling client work and everything else in life.

Even your favorite parts don’t light you up like they used to. Like you can’t fully relax without worrying about what’s next.

You’re not looking for another success blueprint. You’ve fallen into that trap enough times.

You want a business that feels natural to run and marketing that doesn’t drain you.

You want your way forward —
with clarity, with clients who connect deeply with you, and with space to create without burning out.

That’s where we start.

And from there, your work gets lighter, your income steadier, and your business more you than ever before.

What might be possible if growing your business felt clear, calm, and deeply you?

Different Lives, Same Longing.

I’ve worked with people from all walks of life —
parents, leaders, coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs.


Different details, same deep ache underneath.


A man who thought leaving his family might be better than staying, because he couldn’t stop reacting in anger.

A young woman missing classes and staying in bed, watching her life slip by.

A coach running herself into the ground with marketing she hated.

A healer who kept “getting ready” for years — tweaking her website, researching what others were doing — quietly terrified to take real action.

A businessman working 70-hour weeks who dreamed of sleeping more than four hours and taking a vacation without checking email.

A C-level executive who cried between meetings, doubting her ability to keep up.

Capable, caring people who had lost their ease —
tangled in overthinking, pressure, or too much doing.


What they wanted most wasn’t another hack or plan.

They wanted their mind to quiet. Their heart to steady. To live and work from a place that felt like peace again.

That’s what we do together: clearing the noise, finding the calm, and moving forward in a way that’s lighter, truer, sustainable — in your family, your work, and your own skin.
