Custom Branded Apparel Company

I still cannot believe that this wonderful woman walked into my life with an offer to help my small business realize its full potential. Shauna has a knack for seeing to the core of issues and being able to visualize a clear path forward- while being true to yourself. She is a community builder who revels in connecting people she believes in. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I don't believe I would be where I am right now had I not met Shauna.

Girls Basketball Coach

I had no idea what to expect when we first started working with Shauna, but she truly went above and beyond, and I am grateful for the ways she assisted our girl's basketball program. She incorporated a variety of activities, such as team building and communication, that assisted us in achieving the outcomes we needed from a diverse group of players, each with their own specific needs. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else after one season with GemTalkz. She not only helped our athletes gain confidence on and off the court, but she also helped them develop mental toughness, work through body image issues, and manage stress and anxiety throughout the season. Working with Shauna has assisted me in my coaching efforts as well. She helped me in considering how I could be most effective as a coach and how to meet my players where they are on and off the court. She is simply the best!

Shauna Smith is an incredible gift to this world. I had the honor of receiving Shauna’s transformative life-coach expertise for 9 months and I believe her wisdom and work is invaluable. I began the experience with low self-esteem, and I was struggling to envision and complete my goals. By the end of our consistent sessions, I felt my intuition grow stronger and my self-love more apparent.

Shauna is so approachable; she makes it easy to be open and real. Her energy and voice are extremely centering and calming. She simply exudes her inner peace and that is one example of how she makes the world a better place. I deeply appreciate her ability to provide digestible wisdom; she shared books and podcasts and assigned “homework” that genuinely was relevant to my inner work. Shauna is relaxed, down-to-earth, humble, affirming, and provides gentle nudges toward where I want to be. This experience was key in my process to become centered after a year of depression and anxiety. I could go on and on about Shauna, but I will end here and simply say, Shauna, thank you so much for being who you are and spreading love in the ways you do.

As a coach and a leader myself, I can confidently say that Shauna has been the best mentor I have ever had. Her leadership has opened many doors for me, but what stands out the most is her support and guidance to truly opening my mind. Thanks to Shauna I have achieved goals I only dreamt of years ago. It has been a lot of work - but so much fun! She is organized, uplifting, articulate, strong-minded and driven! It is fitting that her business is called GemTalkz because she is truly a gem and lives up to her shining status every day.
