THE VALUE OF NINTH HOUSE CONSULTING

Welcome to Ninth House Consulting! My name is Dr. Shy, and I provide personal consulting services to people from all walks of life, people like you who want sound guidance on their career, business, personal life, and goals, from someone who “knows.” What makes me unique is my rich, eclectic experiences that I have developed for more than two decades of my relatively short life. An accomplished professional, business owner, investor, and spiritualist, I have navigated and thrived in a variety of industries, environments, and dynamics and have mastered lessons from the countless challenges and achievements along the way. During the decades I created my outward-facing life, I simultaneously cultivated a rich inner world by seriously investing in my personal and spiritual development. As a result, I have transformed into myriad versions of myself and created a fulfilling lifestyle and enriched philosophies like none other. Indeed, I have been well ahead of the #ShadowWork, #SelfCare, #LevelUp, #LuxuryLife, #DivineFeminine trends long before the hashtags--and even social media-- existed. :-)

 

Using a down-to-earth approach, I am excited to bring a wealth of my experiences and expertise to you and to empower you to succeed and make the best decisions for yourself and your life. After all, this life is yours to create. Book a 1-on-1 session with me today.

 

With sincerity,

Dr. Shy
