We’re creative geniuses obsessed with helping people live your best life and helping you make an impact with your work. After spending a lifetime of personal self discovery, hard won challenges, and noteworthy accomplishments, we woke up...unfulfilled. We're not perfect, and that's actually what makes us different. Transparent. Honest. Real.
We are people psychologists (digging deep!), storytellers, designers, and curious purveyors of extraordinary talent. Our personalized solutions are our strength, providing big agency talent with very customized and meaningful results.
What it comes down to is giving you the keys to creating a life you are proud of. That's what we call living life on purpose, with purpose, and with real, genuine authenticity.
We are the next generation of curious creatives, business owners, who to exist to share our purpose and passions with the world.
“I live to inspire the new generation of passion-filled, purposeful leaders - health & wellness advocates, creative artists, and entrepreneurs who want to create change in the world. We are the future of positive change and my goal is to inspire you to total clarity and action, health, and happiness.”
Hi there! I'm Shana and the Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Holistic Genius™.
I'm an entrepreneur, a business owner, a passionate dog mom, and someone who lives my life ON PURPOSE. In my world, health and happiness come first, and they aren't separate from your goals and achievements. In fact, you amplify your success when you understand the thing inside of you that ties your professional vision with your LIFE vision.
That's how I define purpose - it's not one specific "purpose" - it's discover your life HAS purpose - NOW - in whatever you do.
While you may have thought you had it all figured out when you started your company, got that promotion, or bought you dream house, those are only external things that stemmed from this life purpose.
It's not a "thing" you discover, it's a thing you UNCOVER. You already have inside of you.
And that's why you're here.
“Shana was a major force in helping me define my personal brand and vision after recently launching my own agency. We got to the core of what I want my business and brand to stand for and established the right way to communicate that to my audience. She’s been super dedicated throughout the process, and most importantly, she helped transform blindspots into new revenue streams! ”
“Shana is a creative individual with unlimited energy and a tireless work ethic. She understands the meaning of “partnership” and always tries to develop marketing solutions that add value for both parties. She exhibits the highest integrity and commitment in her work. Any company would be lucky to have her.”
““You helped me to speak my message, defining who I was and the urgent problems I solved for people. And of course, putting ME into my business. It’s the little things that make all the difference. They go to my website, get sucked in, and that’s that! Thank you Shana!” ”
“Initially I planned to work with Shana for two months and two months led to 12 months of work together. Shana took full control of our online presence (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, email marketing, Google profile, Yelp profile, and website), developed marketing material, forged relationships with top influencers, even responded to customer requests and inquiries on social media. Shana changed our business 180 degrees and demonstrated how influential a marketing expert can be on a business. I would highly recommend Shana’s marketing expertise to all my friends and fellow business owners. You will certainly not regret working with her. In fact, as soon as we complete our restructure we will engage Shana’s services once more if she will take us. Thank you for everything. ”
“You seriously you up-leveled the perception to who I really am. Your hard work solved the problem of how to put all of my work together that took over a decade to create!!! Thank you!!!”
““I am now fully booked with clients. I don’t think I’ve ever said thank you for the amazing work you did with me. Your fantastic and I’m deeply grateful.” ”
