Shelley J Whitehead knows that love is more than chemistry, good intentions, or finding the “right” person; it is a skill we can learn, practise, and strengthen.

She is a Certified Life Coach, Certified Transpersonal Coach, Encounter-Centered Couples Coach, Ericksonian Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, and Advanced Authentic Self Empowerment Facilitator.

Shelley is the author of Healing Your Heartbreak: 28 Days to Transformation and Love Is a Skill: 28 Essential Skills to Transform the Way You Love. Her work grew from both professional experience and personal truth. Having been bereaved, dumped, and divorced, she discovered that healing heartbreak is only part of the journey. Building authentic, healthy relationships requires a different set of skills, and these skills need to be practised in real life.
