"Our whole family has so appreciated the way Shauna supports our kids. She sees them as whole people, in the context of their whole world. This has allowed her to share their delight equally at trampoline tricks, culinary adventures, and academic breakthroughs. Because she is relaxed and trusting, the kids trust her with their true selves, because they can feel that all of who they are matters to her. We are always happy to have a meeting with Shauna--there is never shame or a sense that the kids "should have been doing something else," just excitement to see who they are and what they are up to. This is inspiring!"--- Brenda Leach, mom to four teens Shauna worked with
