Who I work with
Hi, I’m Shawn.
I’m a holistic leadership coach, wellness expert, and co-founder of Noria, a leadership development platform that helps leaders build engaged, high-performing teams without burning out.
My 1:1 work integrates leadership, wellness, and neuroscience-backed behavior change into one cohesive coaching experience. I support ambitious individuals navigate the next phase of their career—whether that means exploring a new path more aligned with their values, balancing parenthood with professional growth, finding sustainable ways to thrive in their current role, or leveling up their leadership to meet ambitious goals.
I’ve spent years coaching leaders inside high-growth startups, working moms navigating the push-pull of ambition and parenthood, and entrepreneurs building businesses that align with their values.
All of my clients share a desire to live a bigger, more meaningful life—one that aligns with what matters most to them and allows them to realize their full potential.
You might be standing at the edge of a big transition: launching something new, taking on a new role, or redefining what success means in this season of your life. You’re ready to expand into what’s possible—but fear, overthinking, or burnout are making it hard to move forward.
If this is you, you’re not alone.
If you’re ready to:
Make a bold leap with more confidence and less fear
Reconnect with your deeper vision and sense of purpose
Take aligned action instead of spinning in self-doubt
Find sustainable ways to lead, parent, build, and grow
Navigate major transitions with steadiness and support
I would love to work with you.
Whether you want to make changes to your career, play bigger or create more spaciousness in your busy life —I help you build the capacity and create the space to bring your vision to life.
What I do
Work With Me: The Dream-to-Reality Process
This is more than coaching. It’s a guided transformation.
My Dream-to-Reality process is rooted in neuroscience and designed to help you move from burnout, confusion, or stuckness to a place of clarity, confidence, and inspired action.
We’ll start with your deepest vision—what you really want, before the fears and “shoulds” kick in. Then we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back, build new beliefs and habits, and anchor you in a future where you’re not just dreaming, but doing.
You’ll walk away with:
A powerful, clear vision for what’s next
Greater self-awareness and belief in what’s possible
Full-body alignment with who you’re becoming
Greater capacity, power, and the energy to bring it to life
Aligned actions and habits that make your vision real
It’s mindset work, self-regulation, and strategic planning—all customized to you.
About me
With two decades of experience in the health tech space, wellness, and entrepreneurship, I specialize in behavior change, transformational coaching, leadership development, and scaling cultures that fuel success.
I hold a Master’s in Integrative Health from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco and was among the first Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches in the country. I completed additional coach training at the internationally-renowned Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and have studied mindfulness, Vedanta, and Ayurveda in depth.
I spent over a decade at One Medical (now part of Amazon), a national primary care organization, helping scale a mission-driven company while preserving its culture of excellence and human-centeredness. I led teams, built departments, and designed innovative programs to close critical gaps in care. In 2021, I created and launched an internal coach training program that earned accreditation from the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. One Medical went public in 2020 and was acquired by Amazon in 2023.
Today, I am the co-founder of Noria, a learning and development business that helps leaders build healthy, high-performing teams — without burning out. We offer bespoke solutions to individual leaders and organizations looking to level up their leadership to improve engagement, resilience, and retention.
As a mom to three young children (big sister and twin boys!), I’m especially passionate about helping women thrive in their careers and find a balance that works for them.
I live year-round on Nantucket, an island 30 miles out to sea, where I enjoy the amazing beaches in the summer, cozy and isolated winters, and the absolute joy of getting outside and gardening in the spring.
