In the beginning of 2010, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. However, she decided not to give up on her passion to empower others. Therefore, Shontel authored her first book entitled: Believe Again, Daily Words to Inspire, Restore, and Renew Hope, which was released August 2010.

 

Shontel's Bible-based, client-centered, holistic, supportive, and goal-oriented approach to counseling and life coaching has helped individuals achieve maximum personal, spiritual and emotional growth. Shontel demonstrates a profound empathy for people and believes that, within a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship, wounded hearts are healed. She is passionate about providing a safe haven where people can explore how they can be restored and transformed by God's healing grace and truth.
