Meet Shanti
Owner + writer
your nerdy sidekick in strategically getting your shit together
Shanti grew up in the North surrounded by no-nonsense attitudes and was raised by a Christian classic worker-bee mother, and a Jedi bushcrafting military father. Supporting these hard working parents, her wise and unconventional grandfather was her caretaker until late adolescence. The unique bond and closeness they developed will continue to influence her for the rest of her life.
Imprinted with a go-getter attitude, pragmatic idealism & a spiritual respect towards the natural world, she developed a passion for spotting patterns aligned with Nature and transforming daydreams into reality through aligned actions. Always guided by her intuitions and ambitions, she continues to find more, healthier and effective ways to ethically and efficiently get your way.
Shanti still lives close to Nature with an amazing loving partner she calls ‘The Giant’ and their 3 rambunctious boys in a small rental house that they ironically titled ‘the Castle’. She enjoys reading, writing, singing, being out on the water and hiking & campfires.

Our Values
Efficiency
You don’t have to be the type who’s in love with their label maker to get itchy and aggravated to the point of demoralization from all the things that waste your time with inefficiency. We refuse to give up quality for speed, but do always search for a way to deliver it in the most efficient way possible.
Acknowledging it’s our most limited resource, we value time, big time!
Autonomy
To value autonomy is to practise staying true to yourself. It means you’ll refuse giving up on yourself, and the ultimate version you can, and want to be. We know what it’s like to be haunted by the thought that you can do better than this, and got your back in searching for better ways to align.
We are dedicated to help you self actualize the ultimate version you want to be
Growth
We firmly believe that growth is one of the biggest indicators of healthy functional relationships and an actual feel-good life. Staying stuck in survival mode for too long then is necessary, or worse, having it as your default setting, not only stunts your growth, but completely wastes your potential.
Our mission is getting you out of that dreaded survival mode & into a state of growth.
If a plant cannot live according to its nature,
it dies; and so a man.
