Guided by Curiosity
Rooted in Healing
Transformed by Alchemy
I’m Shelley Tantau,
coach, clinician, and lifelong believer in transformation
For nearly two decades, I worked in critical care and hospital medicine, walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. What I witnessed again and again is that healing isn’t just about the body. It’s about the stories we carry, the way we see ourselves, and the places we’ve learned to disconnect in order to survive.
That’s why I created this coaching practice: a space where all of you is welcome.
My own journey includes untangling decades of diet culture conditioning, finally finding freedom with the support of medical tools and deep inner work. It includes rediscovering presence and nervous system wisdom through horses, whose honesty and gentleness cracked me open to new ways of being. And it includes learning the power of self-expression through style — how clothes can be more than fabric, how they can become a mirror for confidence, joy, and visibility.
Coaching with me is both practical and soulful. It’s where science meets intuition, where laughter meets tears, where you get to reclaim the parts of yourself that have felt lost, silenced, or too much.
At the heart of it all is alchemy: the art of transformation.
And my deepest joy is helping you create yours.
My Approach
I combine clinical wisdom, lived experience, and intuitive coaching to help you reconnect with your body, your story, and your confidence. Our work is deep, practical, and always rooted in compassion — transformation that lasts.
Dream It
This is where we get clear on what you actually want — not what you’ve been told to want. Together, we’ll imagine bold new possibilities for your life, your body, and your presence in the world.
Build It
Change only sticks when it’s embodied. We’ll translate your vision into real, tangible practices — from nervous system tools to curated closets to liberating mindsets — so you can live it every day.
