Testimonial
When I signed up for coaching sessions with Shofna I really didn’t know what to expect but after each session I was always overwhelmed by what I had learnt about myself and how easily Shofna was able to understand and see me better than I did. I found so much value in the Master Key session and now know what my key values are and how I can find this when speaking to others. We also dug deep into my past relationships and she helped me let go of things that I was holding onto unconsciously. Certain feelings and emotions really came to light that I wasn’t aware of. Shofna helped me see certain situations in a different light and I really appreciate that. I feel much more confident in myself and what I want and I am so glad I had Shofna’s support.
