Shanetta McDonald is a Somatic Life Coach, helping women—especially moms—to release limiting beliefs and build lives that leave room for creativity, rest, and meaningful work.

Her work empowers clients to release perfectionism, trust their inner wisdom, and create lives aligned with who they truly are.

Before coaching, Shanetta spent 17+ years as a publicist shaping the stories of changemakers, creatives, and mission-driven brands. Today, she blends that storytelling expertise with somatic coaching tools to help women rewrite the narratives that no longer serve them, so they can move forward with confidence and ease.

Whether you’re a high-achiever learning to soften, a mother reclaiming herself, or a creative finding your voice again, Shanetta’s work offers a grounded, evidence-based approach rooted in the belief that your body already knows the way.
