I loved Shellie as soon as I saw her.
She has beautiful energy and I felt like we had a lot in common.
Throughout the retreat, I noticed how, without touching me, she protected and supported me.
On the last day (when we were able to talk) the time came for my complete healing. She selflessly offered me her help and she gave me the best massage I could have ever had. She reached into the depths of my soul and healed my pain from my infertility. I have never felt empty again.
Thank you very much. I advise all women who have this type of problem to let themselves be guided by this extraordinary woman.

Review
I am absolutely delighted to write a glowing review for Shellie, who served as our Care Manager at Starlight from 2018 until 2022. Shellie's contributions during her time with us were nothing short of exceptional, and her dedication to our Southampton Branch has left an indelible mark on our organization.
One of Shellie's standout qualities is her unwavering commitment to the growth and success of our business. She not only managed all of our care packages but did so with a genuine passion for building and expanding our services. Her enthusiasm for business development was infectious, and her ability to identify opportunities for growth was truly remarkable. Under her leadership, our branch experienced s growth, which was a testament to her skills and dedication.
Shellie's expertise in managing care packages and complex cases was instrumental in ensuring that our clients received the highest quality of care. Her meticulous attention to detail, paired with her deep understanding of the intricacies of the healthcare industry, made her an invaluable asset to our team. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that our clients' needs were met and exceeded, and she did so with a level of compassion and professionalism that set a standard for the entire team.

I have personally known Shellie for almost 5 years.
We were first introduced in a care company - client capacity which quickly grew into a special friendship, and remains to this day.
Shellie is a compassionate and attentive woman who will give her very best to anything she is responsible for.
She is a very intelligent and positive person, who doesn’t boast of her qualities, which make them even more valuable and endearing.
Anyone who has the blessing of having Shellie rooting for them, be it in whatever capacity, will no doubt, wish they had met her years ago.
I regard Shellie as a friend for life and feel blessed to know her.

Hey Shellie! Sorry I got so side tracked. Looong stalker story. Hes trying to phone me now as I type this review... Nightmare! Anyway back to Ko Rong Sanloem island. I tried putting my hammock up in the Jungle but a giant black squirrel the size of a cat kept chasing me away. I could swear he was shouting F@# off and he meant it.
I certainly didn't stick around to fund out. Even pitching the hammock on the beach Palm trees with the ocean rolling in under the squirrel persisted to chase me.
I ended up finding an abandoned hut to Hamak up. Getting in I noticed the ceiling full of fruit bats.
They shat on me all night but Id rather friendly fruit eaters than than the psycho nutty squirrel.
The next day I found civilisation in the form of young westerners opening bars on the beach around a small Cambodian village.
I was not received very well by the bar owners as they could tell straight away I had no money. Tries grabbing left overs off the plates and an English bloke shouts at me. "Hey that's for the dog!" Knocking the pizza crusts out my hand onto the floor for the street dogs
They didn't even want me using their toilets. When u gotta go u gotta go tho. I just used the toilets and they would just be passive aggressive of course. "Did he just use our Toilet?" OMG!
I started selling jewellery to people. I would give them some cashew nuts as an ice breaker first. Cashews I picked from the Island that took 3 days of pain to husk. The foreigners would say "I prefer zem salty!"
They Engish (pub landlordes) started calling me Fagan from Oliver twist with my fist full of jewels to sell.
The rains came in and I mean Rain. That side ways typhoon rain from Vietnam. I had to get jobs with acomodation with the pub landlords. They would pay you in 2 minute noodles and an egg.
I still did a good job so a South Africa/Scottish lady offered me actual pay. $10 per day but I had to sleep in the Jungle again with the hamak.
It was like my first night there and two young ladies had joined the bar as volunteers. They got a dorm bed of course and eggs. One was an obnoxious woman who looked down her nose at me from day one until the end. The other was Shellie from England but she was the complete opposite to all the rude pretentious foreigners looking down at me. Full of love and fun she not only acknowledged me but genuinely liked me too. Thank God for people like her tho I know no other so lovely. She lit up the place. Quite litteraly the first night she arrived the biggest electric storm Iv ever experienced descended on us.
The night sky lit up blue with all the lightning and the thunder was like a earth quake. Getting louder and louder the closer it got to us in put wooden shack bar.
Until Bang shock horror we all got struck by lightning. The wooden frame must have protected us some how but it was still enough of a shock to get these Ozy surfer dudes screaming. That got us all into panic station. Luckily the storm blew over and it was an exciting memory for all of us. We all shared a common lightning shock but the other people still looked down their nose at me. Whereas Shellie was a bundle of joy to the world. We got creative together painting signs Shellie brought a bright fun art therapy aspect to them. We had such a good time my time with her and was by far the best memory of all on the survivor island. It turned out to be the same island they shot the survivor series on.
I was surviving and the "tribe" of westerners had spoken and they didn't like me but I had knowhere else to go. Thank you Shellie for restoring my faith in humanity.

"I met dear Shellie in a great experience of my life. I am Brazilian and this year I challenged myself to a 10-day silent retreat, Vipassana, in Candeleda. An opportunity for a great inner dive.
On the last day we were able to talk and I was immensely surprised by the exchange we shared. Shellie is a medicine woman, a healer, who unites heaven and earth with her healing hands, tirelessly giving energy and joy to her eyes and heart. It was a privilege to meet her and receive the massage that transcends the physical body, acts on the mental, emotional and spiritual.
Making the connection with who we are is the main way to heal our feminine. Bring from the inside out the resources necessary to heal, strengthen and transcend."
thank you Shellie!!!!
Priscilla- met in Spain 2023 Vipassana (silent retreat)
I started my spiritual journey few years ago. It’s strange how things that normally takes a long time
to be figured out. I met Shelly one month ago when she moved into our house. I was for a while in a
very dark place, I felt stuck. I read in a book that when the student is ready the teacher will appear.
Came back from work having a very exhausting day, I went into the Garden, and I saw Shellie with
my other house mates painting in the garden, she invited me to join, I don’t normally join things in
general, but I felt like very welcomed.
The next day we went for a walk in the forest, I felt strange like something was about to come, and
it did My experience was very powerful. We sat down on the grass, Shellie played the ‘’ Miracle of
love” by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart and I started being one with the nature, the trees I closed
my eyes, and I started feeling this deep emotion like a child who run away from home, and like I was
returned. Like a little child who hugs his mother after a long time, I cried but from happiness, I felt
happy with I didn’t feel it in a long time. I felt full of love, and she guided me there, in very gentile
soft way, like a teacher who will give you the key to open a door and with patience guide you
through journey. I felt very empowered afterwards, I was always afraid of singing I knew I’ve got
something artistic in me, but I wasn’t opened enough and afraid and I didn’t believe in myself that
much.
I am very grateful for the love, guidance, and empowerment that Shelley gave me in only 2 days and
a month from knowing each other.
