Candice means "bright white light." My last name is pronounced "shooter." Together they describe my purpose... to shine brilliant light in a direct and bold way. Nothing comes more easily to me than seeing in the dark... but I spent many years denying this gift. I was once afraid of my uniqueness, wary of my own medicine. I sought to gain power by imitating others. I did my best to project only the light, effervescent qualities of my being. While I experienced successes, I was never truly happy. I was deadening my truest voice in order to protect my shadow from exposure. What I didn't know is that within my most hidden self, lied my most authentic and truest source of power. Now that I have discovered the key to unleashing my dreams, I want to share it with the world!

I can lead you from frustration to clear results because I know the landscape. I have made the journey, and I know what it is to be stuck on the sidelines. I now feel that I possess the power to make anything happen in my life; yet, I know how it feels to carry the weight of despair or to be living a life that's less than your heart's desire. I have made my way from inertia to full power, and I can help you to do the same.

I won't pretend to be perfect (ever), but I can tell you exactly how to move smack dab into the middle of a life that makes your soul sing. I have tangible tools to offer. I have tried-and-true principles that work. I also have some dark and dirty secrets; stories that are all yours if offering them will inspire you to move your life forward. I am an open-book, and that works for me. It's a lighter load to live without spiritual pretension. (Trust me, I know from experience). I am convinced that shame feeds on secrecy... so I don't mind sharing my many crazy-ass mistakes with you! It's a win-win in my book.

I always tell the truth (usually the one you can't see), in a way that you can hear it. I really do believe that the truth can set you free; and compassionate discernment is a key ingredient to making sure it is heard by the heart. I am an expert in diagnosing precisely what is standing between you and the life you want. I can deliver the truth you need with kindness and clear action steps. 

I walk my talk, so I will never ask you to do something I haven't experienced benefit from, first hand. It takes courage and a great sense of humor to live your truth out loud, and I can teach you how. Spend some time with me, and I will remind you of your true voice and your full power. I can't help it... that's what I immediately see in all my clients. I am built for that exact purpose. And you are built for your own. I can help you to find it. It's in plain sight, but like your nose, you can't see it. Let's chat and I will help you to find a mirror.

Here are a few stories to make it real for you.
