Rhea L.S. ~ Group Shadow Walk Session

Licensed Therapist

I've been a therapist for 20 years, and I've tried many modalities myself, but this was a really different experience for me in terms of getting right to the root of the belief system. AND then being able to change it, over a span of two days (3hrs), is really amazing. In traditional therapies like (CBT, EMDR, Somatic Practices) you're figuring out all these themes and the different ways to address them. [These therapies] all have their place, but the [Group Shadow Walk Session] was much more to the point. It helped me get [clear on what] my false belief system is. I could sit in therapy forever and never have gotten those things. And for me, it is easier to address and figure out how to change [something moving forward] when I know what I am dealing with right from the beginning, vs spending years trying to figure it out. [Your program] starts with that, and then you go from there. [I noticed] it changed how I related to certain people in my life immediately, which I found fascinating and hopeful. I haven't had many negative thoughts since [the session] but when I do, [I know] I can recognize the old belief system right away, and get through it so much faster. I also haven't needed to use [the tools provided] yet, but they give me hope that in the future, it will be easier to move through painful feelings [quickly], vs spending an hour, or ten, hoping they will end. [Your program] is very healing to say the least. [After this experience] I feel more confident, comfortable, and powerful being me, and I know I am beautiful and loveable just as I am. I definitely recommend this program to those who have tried traditional practices without resolution; are willing to go deep; and are wanting to get to the root of  your personal belief system quickly - so you can move forward with your life, knowing how amazing you truly are!

"I got my life back & restored a zest for life I had resigned myself from receiving. With Michelle’s guidance I found MY-SELF again & the LOOP I had been living in. Knowing this has helped me finally break free from that loop & quickly stop old patterns that no longer serve me, so I can live fully. This clarity made it easy to find my PURPOSE & know what I came here to do...I came here to help others live their BEST adventure, which is their LIFE! I decided to become an ALT-U coach because I know with the ALT strategy I can deliver the results my MISSION requires. Now I can truly help others break free from their loop & LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE! Just like I was delivered the cosmos, I too can take others to the most magical place in the universe...the STARS, and from there they can live their DREAMS!"

FREEDOM! Never have I had so much FUN, JOY & WILLINGNESS to go into discomfort, vulnerability or step into new challenges. I mean - I love my LIFE! I knew I'd eventually be a life-coach, though I didn't know what it would look like. Now I'm living my life fully as a coach, mentor, parent, wife, friend & WOMAN. I'm ready to take it all on whatever it looks like. I'm super excited for what's next. ALL THE THINGS! Even the SHIfT! I can look at every hard thing I'm doing & see the lesson for me within the experience to guide others...EVERY SINGLE ONE!

Kimberly D. ~ Solo Shadow Walk Session

Spiritual Life-Coach

I was born a preemie, born with a mild disability and then had autoimmune issues as an adult, to the point where I couldn’t work and struggled walking with my cane. She helped me see the root reasons for my body to choose this life with a disability. And after that awareness, I was able to choose to let it go. Now, I am walking without my cane. I am still healing myself and relearning to walk. I am eternally grateful to Adrienne for being an integral part of my healing journey. If you want to understand your "life theme" and patterns that no longer serve you, or face the roots of your toxic pain or shame, book a call with her. You won’t regret it.

[My Group Shadow Walk experience] was phenomenal. I thought it was a very integrative and holistic approach [to working with the Shadow] negative aspects of life. I say that having had [other] experiences that weren't as integrative and tend to gloss over the hidden part of ourselves that we don't like to look at. [After the session] I felt lighter,  childlike, playful, grounded and more like myself. I was able to observe myself and my triggers more easily, which was enlightening, and was also able to self correct more easily. I am more patient with myself and with others and it has enabled me to see other's choices as more unconscious actions vs malicious intention. [Through this process] I've learned that the Shadow not only has it's place in our lives, but it's a very important part of ourselves, that once we are able to bring it into alignment with our higher self, it becomes an amazing friend vs an [internal] adversary.  This is one tool that I have found that if you use it, it will work and [while the Shadow Walk experience] is intense and feels difficult during the process, the [freedom gained] is so worth it!

Sooooo.... How wild is our beautiful universe? I don't think I ever met Adrienne outside of a social media setting. At least not in this lifetime. I have to say, chatting with her felt very familiar. I have been going through some challenges and changes as of lately, and our conversation felt like it was meant to be. It felt right. She was able to help me see the SHEro within my SHEnanigains. I absolutely recommend reaching out or at least listening to her message if ya want to dive a bit deeper. I am down with self love and healing. Thank you for helping me take the next step!!!

Personal development is nothing new to me. In fact my whole life I’ve been coaching people through much of their growth & with that find that, I myself, can often be a very resistant person in many ways to being coached. So when Adrienne offered me a rather impromptu Shadow Session, I thought it would be more of the “same” of what I have found over the years. In other words...I wasn’t expecting to be outsmarted by the strategy, but I was. In fact, I was struck by the process in which I was able to go so deep into my past so quickly. Within 2 hours she helped me find the root issue of what consistently stops me in life and I simply broke down. I could feel the pain of my life experiences finally releasing. It was reaching something so specific that I had not fully realized before. The session, even in its simplicity, was able to get to the crux of the matter...the foundation of what I have built my life upon. I clearly saw so many of the obstacles I’ve faced (many I felt embarrassed of) and realized I don’t have to keep repeating them over & over again. In fact now when looking back on how it has affected my life, I can still feel the resistance of that day and KNOW I have been freed...actually FREED of these patterns. Soon after I thought, why don’t I formalize my desire to help others with this system, that not only works but can magnify the impact of what I already love doing. It is difficult to express the power of a Shadow Session, but it is real and I'm going to make it my business, because I KNOW it works. It is the KEY...the missing link of what most never find in their PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT & I’m going to help bring it to the world.

I think the program is a very interesting and useful tool, that I didn't even know I needed. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect in the beginning, all I knew was it was a form of self healing, & a way to find out what has been holding me back in life. Intrigued, I had to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I was a little skeptical, wondering how one session could make that much of an impact on my life. I was completely blown away! Once I got through my session, I couldn't believe the life theme, & triggers that came up. They made total sense for me. Having that information armed me with tools & resources to better handle anything new that came my way with more confidence & trust in my own decisions, & really learning how to release the things that no longer serve me. I can much more quickly spot triggers that come up & can handle them with more grace & ease. It has helped me become more comfortable in my own skin. I have had many breakthroughs since my session, the most important being to always check in with myself, making sure my inner child is left feeling heard & loved. I absolutely adore (Kathryn Cook) the coach I had for my session. She was a delight, very calm, knowledgeable, made me very comfortable. I would love to check in with her again to let her know the progress I have made. If this is something you have been thinking about trying, I wholeheartedly recommend it! I feel like I have a new lease on life, & I can't thank them enough!

Adrienne has helped me work through some issues stemming from my childhood that counseling never was successful with. She is knowledgeable and her suggestions make sense. I am fortunate to have reached out to Adrienne!!

My Shadow Session gave me the ability to be more joyful & present in my life. I find I am now able to see opportunities I wasn’t able to see before, because I am attracting them on a different frequency vs. subconsciously degrading myself internally. It gave me a new hope and outlook on life where I can see that I really can have what I want in life & love myself more for it. I feel lighter as though a weight was lifted & find I am more excited about life in general. I’ve always known I had a universal soul contract to help others discover who they are & now with this missing piece I know I can.

My shadow session was remarkably the most powerful thing I’ve done. I was able to break down the barriers of procrastination & get clarity on what my life HAS been about vs what it really CAN & IS about. I found that the brick walls I’ve built throughout my life weren’t meant to be impenetrable walls that I need to bulldoze through, but rather lessons that serve me as protective shields that I can choose to use or not. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, but amidst the fear I still felt safe & very surprised at what came up for me. I now see this as being such a useful tool for my clients to help them see it is much easier to remove a shield vs a wall.

Going through the process with Amber was a very unique and helpful experience. Emotional honesty and vulnerability are very challenging for me but through the whole process I felt supported and safe enough to really be open and honest. It helped me to see my underlying triggers and biases that I’ve held onto my whole life. Moving forward after, I found it was easier to identify when I was being triggered. I can more easily stop myself before reacting and realize what is actually happening and correct it. This is a very helpful stepping stone on the path of self realization and self care.

This is the first time I’ve ever done a shadow session. During the session I was very emotional & it was quite an intense experience, but also very releasing at the same time. The tools that Michelle provided me with to move forward with my Life-Theme was more than anything I’ve ever received in counseling or any other therapy I’ve ever gone to. It was a life-changer for me, knowing what my life-theme was as well as having the tool to proceed & process through old traumas & new traumas. Michelle is a very kind & compassionate person who made me feel safe & secure throughout the whole session. She explained everything to me before & if I had any questions during the session we just stopped and went over them.

Retired Counselor & Future ALT-U Coach

There are maybe 10 people that have influenced my life in a positive way that I consider "impact people". Adrienne has become one of them. I enjoyed the shadow session & feel happier and lighter. I know I am feeling vs. overthinking now. I have learned to let the feeling be felt & turn it to happy thoughts. I keep thinking of sitting out in the cosmos with God & knowing he is only love. I can tell God is stirring something inside of me to start helping people again, as though I'm being led by the Holy Spirit. A program like this feels natural to me & I like more than formal counseling. I am excited about becoming a ALT-U (Certified Coach) and using these tools to help people heal.

My shadow session with Holly helped move me to a place of recognition, insight, & depth that allowed me to expand the understanding of myself & my patterns. It gave me tools to move forward and through the stops in my life that typically make me freeze. The tools she provided, I’m able to use on my own to be aware and self reliant on creating movement in my life.

I recently had a Shadow Session with Amber that was a real eye-opener. I honestly didn't know what to expect from the session. The combination of energy work and Amber's compassionate and probative counseling helped me learn some of the reasons why I self sabotage. It was quite an enlightening experience. I highly recommend you try a session with her. Not to mention, she is an awesome dance and yoga instructor.
