My Soul Story

If you reflect on your life, there is probably one or more "touchstone" events that have directly influenced you and perhaps led to a life calling.

My calling came at 14 with a life-changing vision that was a pivotal turning point in shaping my life and work.

Where most people have their wake-up call at midlife, I had mine as a teen, which became a significant turning point for consciously following and guiding others to the Light of the Leader Within.

I was a very empathetic, intuitive child, born to a very talented artist and actress mother from the Midwest and an upstanding, raised-in-faith businessman father from the East Coast, in the 1960s, in San Francisco, CA.

​

You might have labeled me right-brain oriented. I holistically saw the world. I had sensitivity beyond others. I knew what I knew but could not explain what I knew. I did not have the words. It has taken me a lifetime to develop a language for the unseen; this is where I excel in attuning and translating to others what they cannot describe in words. 

​

I see this blueprint, this Divine Pattern, in all of life, including my clients, and use this witnessing for my clients to bring their gifts to light for their life and business.

I do not judge people's paths, religions, issues, and identities. That is not my job. My job is to guide. 

Once a vision or a near-death experience occurs, it's challenging to explain to the world. You can't unsee what you have seen or unknow what you know, even if it defies others' sense of what is possible. It is the reason people feel safe telling me their "crazy" or unbelievable stories. Because I understand what it is like to experience what "normal" people may not account for as real. Nothing surprises me. I have probably been through some versions of the stories my clients feel safe sharing, which are often the impetus to strive for something greater. 

​

Ironically, though I am a Soul Intuitive, I am also very tech savvy and have a strong sense and skill set for business. I have had many mentors in business and have a practicality to grounding all this non-physical, emotional and spiritual intelligence. My father was a corporate VP of Advertising, breaking off to be in charge of his own time as an entrepreneur. He never went back to corporate except to be a consultant. He influenced my love of business and my desire for entrepreneurship which also guided me to want to help my clients transition from their corporate jobs to their independent business ideas or climb the corporate ladder in leadership. My first entrepreneurial business at 18 years of age was called "Holly's Help," which evolved into my second company in my early twenties, "Entrepreneurial Enterprises." 
 

I have traveled and lived in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Being a native San Franciscan has given me an innovative acceptance and understanding of the uniqueness of people from all walks of life. I split my time between the islands of Hawaii ( my happy place) and Northern California, where I can enjoy my family. I am a mother and a grandmother.

​

I have been Divinely commissioned to help my clients "Align with the Divine" and create their lives and businesses from their most authentic selves. It is my joy to guide, teach to reach, move energy, and help others to ignite the light of their LEADER WITHIN

Thank you for hearing a portion of my story. I hope it gives you an intimate look into how I came to offer my work. I look forward to our meeting someday in person if it is in divine alignment, and regardless, I support you on your LifeStar journey in this world and the next.
 
See you on the IN side! 
With heart and soul,

Holly Shantara
