Welcome, I’m Shelagh.

Squarespace designer, mentor, rest facilitator

I help you reconnect with your wisdom, nurture your unique gifts, and step into a life that feels authentically yours.

LET ME SUPPORT YOU

Some people call me a fairy godmother for the 21st Century. Here’s why…

I’m passionate about helping women in midlife and beyond share their gifts and build businesses that feel spacious, authentic, and alive.

With over three decades of experience as an adult educator, facilitator, mentor, and online learning specialist, I’ve always been passionate about helping women step into their fullest expression.

Today, I weave these threads into my work as a web designer (specializing in Squarespace), mentor, and rest facilitator—supporting women to share their stories and shine online.

There’s nothing I love more than supporting women to claim their voice and take up space.

Let’s connect if you’re ready to create a business, and a life, that feels true to who you are.

  • You took my heart and gave it words I’d been struggling with. It felt wonderful to be seen, both by you and now by others. The design process was beyond my expectations.

    -TAMARAH LEE, spiritual director

  • Shelagh holds deep loving space and truly embodies your vision when working together in the website design container. She is such a peaceful, welcoming and knowledgeable soul. I felt so seen, heard and supported.

    -TAMARA BUWALDA, Owner of Aligned Focus

  • Shelagh is like a balm for the soul - her voice, her gentle way, and her way of holding space feels like honey and has been so healing to my nervous system. Being in her presence feels truly sacred.

    ISABELLE GRIFFITH, Founder of The School Of Somatic Leadership For Women™

  • Working with Shelagh was positive in every way. She completely captured the essence of what I was trying to convey and truly understood my vision. Shelagh was helpful and responsive at every step of the process. She made the entire experience smooth and collaborative, and really listened to what I wanted to express.

    -MELINDA HATFIELD, therapist

  • Working with Shelagh is like drinking from a cool mountain spring. She took the time to really "get" me. Because of this my website resonates with authenticity, something that matters to me.

    -STEPHANIE FRYKHOLM, writer

  • When I connected with Shelagh I was so impressed with her professionalism. The work she put into my website and her commitment to me is second to none. I love my website!

    -DOROTHY BRIGGS, Founder of Womanition

  • Website design with Shelagh was a deeply intuitive and transformative experience. Comfortable and patiently guided—these are the words that come up for me right away. This is work that comes from the soul, and it can feel uncomfortable when we don’t fully trust ourselves or feel confident in how we want to share our gifts with the world. But with Shelagh, I felt completely safe. I trusted her with my fears and worries, and she guided me with kindness.
