My name is Shania Hess
I am a first-generation, late-in-life lesbian and woman of color with a multicultural background and a heart for deep transformation. I bring my lived experience—coming out in midlife, navigating cultural complexity, and unlearning self-abandonment—to every coaching session.
As a certified attachment style coach with a background in national-level nonprofit HR, DEI, and policy work, I hold space with both professional insight and radical compassion. I understand what it means to assimilate, mask, shrink, over-give, and survive because I have done it ALL.
I also know what it takes to break those patterns, stand in your truth, and feel at home in your own body and relationships. With humor, transparency, and an unwavering belief in possibility, I guide clients toward emotional liberation, authentic connection, and joyful self-leadership.
My work supports clients who are ready to start living more authentically. With the right tools, my clients recognize and ask for what they need to feel they are seen, heard and understood. Fulfilling relationships are possible, whether at work, at home, or out in the world.
