Meet Lori
Intro from Rae:
Every once in a while, I meet another human being with vibes that echo, inspire, and improve my own. When such encounters evolve into long-term collaboration with true staying power, I’m learning to embrace those opportunities—because when it comes to talking back to trauma, a chorus of voices speaks much louder (and reaches much further) than my own solitary message ever could.
In that spirit of collaboration, I’m honored to introduce my colleague Lori Shelley of Lori Shelley Coaching. For the past several years, Lori has worked tirelessly to equip herself with high-quality coach training, mentoring, consultation and supervision. She’s volunteered countless hours of her time to shadow my coaching groups and “learn the ropes,” so to speak—which is why I’m thrilled to point clients toward Lori’s private practice AND to entrust her with several HTB coaching groups in 2026.
As a newer coach, Lori’s calendar is more flexible than mine—and her fees are a bit lower, too. She’s got insights and experience that are different from my own (parenting, financial planning, and career development, just to name a few). If you think Lori might be a better fit for your coaching needs, I invite you to read her bio below, then hop over to her website and schedule an initial consult.
Please note that Lori’s business functions separately from mine; though our client cases and projects often overlap, she manages her own business policies, fees and other agreements. And though I support Lori’s practice through consultation and supervision, I am not directly responsible or liable for her coaching work. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask either one of us!
So, without further ado… Meet Lori:
Hi! I’m Lori. Let’s write your comeback story.
My coaching practice is about clarity, transformation, and empowerment—sometimes with sass, but always with heart. I help my clients to uncover the truth of where they are and why, empowering them to confront challenges like intimate betrayal, career and financial upheaval, or difficult relationship dynamics.
My practice is rooted in one fundamental tenet: understanding your truth is the key to liberation. Having navigated the fires of relational trauma myself, I know firsthand the disorienting impact of denial and the transformative power of breaking free. I’m here to guide you in stripping away the “shoulds” and “nice girl” conditioning to see your situation with unflinching honesty. This isn’t about sugarcoating; it’s about reclaiming your identity, owning your power, and learning to navigate the world with openness and the unwavering conviction to take absolutely no shit along the way
Drawing on a rich and varied background spanning finance, human resources, corporate culture, and the profound experience of motherhood, I bring a unique and holistic perspective to relational trauma coaching. My journey has illuminated the intricate ways in which our experiences shape our relationships and well-being.
Trained in professional coaching by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), and pursuing coaching certifications from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), I am dedicated to empowering individuals to heal from relational wounds, build stronger connections, and cultivate lives filled with greater authenticity and resilience.
