Our Founder and Lead Strategist

Shenandoah Chefalo is a sought-after speaker, award-winning author, and expert trauma-informed specialist with over 20 years of leadership consulting experience with governmental, public, and private organizations.

Being overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out is normal—but it's not what's best for us.

Whether you, or the team you lead, is running on empty, there’s a way to rest and recharge that will last for years to come.

Our signature method of trauma-informed coaching was developed by Shenandoah Chefalo, who survived childhood abuse and neglect before and during her placement in the broken foster care system.

Through her own healing journey, traditional education, and experiential learning, Shen developed a system of organizational change that is effective, impactful, and sustainable.
