“Shane’s poetry profile assessment is like a mirror into your own work. Writing feels so insulated, like you’re staring at a screen and don’t know what it’s telling you. If you have a dream to use your writing, but don’t know what that even means or what the possibilities are for feeling most productive in that creation, this profile takes what you have and tells you how to vision your work from there. Working with Shane is like setting a compass for your next project... and it might just change your life. - Elaine Hill

Shane’s professional insight on my strengths and weaknesses allowed her to reach the core of my issues immediately.

I was so grateful to Shane for providing the proper tools." ~ Vivian Terry Cunningham
"Before my session with Shane, I struggled with connecting emotionally to my spoken word pieces. Shane introduced a few creative methods that helped me discover the source of my emotional disconnect which further led to me figuring out why I struggled to connect with my pieces. Since my first session I've been able to write from an honest place as well as deliver my poetry from a place of sincerity and truth." ~ Marquis Love
