With over two decades of experience working with women in mental health, Dr. Shana decided to leverage her clinical knowledge, coupled with her personal experience and wellness training to help high achieving professional women stop seeking balance in life and instead create harmony/integration through understanding the 12 dimensions of wellness.Â
Dr. Shana believes that wellness is an inside job as a woman can not lead anyone else anywhere until she has first led herself through healthy self care and prioritization of her life. To this end, Dr. Shana is a sought after international keynote and motivational speaker, trainer, and leader in the women’s empowerment and wellness space. She delivers powerful, high energy keynotes to audiences all across the country about a variety of issues including domestic violence, women’s issues, wellness, spiritual issues, mental health issues, self-care and transformation.
As a result of her expertise in these areas Dr. Shana has been featured on several media outlets including CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, and ABC as a mental health expert on LIVE with Kelly & Ryan! In addition, she is the author of the newly released book, Selfcare is the New Sexy The Playbook, a book designed to help women create a realistic self care plan that they can actually follow.Â
While Dr. Shana has several pursuits that she is passionate about, as a mental health expert, she is also a champion for clinicians who show up and do this work daily. Due to the barriers that exist for many populations in need of appropriate mental health care, Dr. Shana understood that it was necessary to find other ways to reach and support the needs of this greater population. As a result, she enjoys teaching mental health practitioners to scale beyond the therapy room by making impacts in the community outside of traditional modalities. These impacts are made through books, media appearances, speaking opportunities, and more.Â
