The Living Invitation isn’t just a name — it’s a philosophy I live by. My own journey has been a constant invitation to soften, to listen, and to rise. I’m Shelby, and this work is my way of extending that invitation to you. My work weaves body, mind, and spirit in order to move beyond an intellectual understanding of one’s self and into a lived, embodied transmission of power (power with, not over).

I’ve always been fascinated by the ways we carry our stories — the subtle patterns in our bodies, the whispers of intuition we often ignore, and the ways we unconsciously shrink ourselves to fit expectations. Through my own journey of unlearning, shadow work, and self-discovery, I realized that true empowerment isn’t about doing more; it’s about becoming more — more present, more attuned, more aligned with the life we’re meant to lead.

Over the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to deep study and practice in yoga, shadow work, nonviolent communication, embodiment, feminine spirituality, and sacred sexuality. I’ve learned that transformation requires both discipline and surrender, both rigor and play. It’s in this balance that I guide my clients: creating spaces where they can move through resistance, feel their bodies fully, and reclaim the joy, vitality, and aliveness that’s always been theirs.

My approach is deeply relational. Together, we explore what arises in your body, your heart, and your mind — uncovering patterns, shifting narratives, and building tools you can carry forward into your life. I honor each client’s unique rhythm, desires, and boundaries, and invite curiosity and courage along the way.

Outside of sessions, I am devoted to my own inner practice — exploring the wisdom of my body through dance, travel, and conscious living — and I bring these insights into every conversation, exercise, and reflection with those I work with. I see transformation as a living, breathing process, one that is at once profound and playful, messy and miraculous.

If you feel the pull toward greater embodiment, emotional clarity, and what it means to live a value-based life, I invite you to reach out! Let’s explore what’s possible together, and learn what your truest self needs to flourish.
