Client Stories
I wanted to share my experience working with Shelby as a consultant for my aesthetic business because it has truly been a game-changer for me and my team. As a nurse practitioner by trade, I didn’t go to school to learn how to run a business, manage a team, or create a thriving office culture. While I had the clinical skills to start my clinic, it quickly became evident that I needed help understanding how to lead, manage staff, and foster the kind of environment I envisioned for my business.
Initially, I reached out to Shelby on a personal level to discuss challenges I was facing—everything from office dynamics to the overall growth of my practice. Her advice was immediately practical and insightful, helping me navigate situations I was struggling with. But it wasn’t until I brought on an office manager that I fully realized the depth of support Shelby could offer.
My office manager had experience managing teams but lacked formal training, and I knew that investing in her development would be essential for the success of the business. That’s when I decided to formally bring Shelby on to work with us. Over the course of our four-month commitment, Shelby has been meeting regularly with my office manager, working through real-time challenges while also helping her build a solid foundation of leadership skills.
Shelby’s expertise has been transformative, not just for my office manager but for the entire team. She has given us tools and strategies that have already improved the dynamics and culture of the office. This isn’t the flashy side of growing a business—it’s not the exciting equipment purchase or the big marketing campaign—but it’s absolutely the cornerstone of creating a sustainable, thriving practice.
The difference I’ve seen in my office manager’s confidence and capability, and the overall improvement in how the team operates, has been one of the most impactful investments I’ve made. I now feel like we’re building the kind of culture that will allow us to grow and scale successfully, and I’m excited to continue working with Shelby to support my team in new ways.
If you’ve ever considered working with a consultant to strengthen your leadership or team dynamics, I can’t recommend Shelby enough. The impact has been truly remarkable.

Shelby has the unique ability to integrate her practical business knowledge with her psychedelic journey. It is critical to work with a guide that not only has the knowledge but the wisdom that goes along with her incredible amount of life experience. Micro dosing should be available to anyone who wants to include these gifts in their lives, but knowing where to start how to fully integrate them can be challenging and overwhelming. Although the benefits may differ by variety and strength of the microdose and an individual’s reaction, I've experienced elevated mood, focus, concentration, motivation, and calm to a level that I rarely experienced before. Working with her will set you on the right path, avoid random experimentation, and quickly let you experience the astounding effect micro dosing can have on your life. Shelby is a special soul.

After extensive research on the benefits of micro-dosing, my wonderful husband introduced me to the idea of microdosing, and of course, Shelby from AFTRGLO showed us the reigns from there. What's been truly fascinating about doing this microdosing journey together is that we each experience the dose differently. For me, the most notable effects are increased awareness and heightened energy levels. With more mental space, I'm able to take a step back and assess my thoughts during everyday activities such as work or conversations with friends and family.

Working with Shelby is nothing short of grounding. When I came to hear, I was feeling anxious about a next step to take, and it was overwhelming me. With Shelby's support, I was able to release the overwhelm and start to feel more grounded. From this space, I was able to see clearer and take actions that felt simple and well-aligned to what I needed to do next. I really appreciated working with her; there's something about her presence that makes you feel totally comfortable and that you can trust her. Really appreciated my time with Shelby.

Shelby is an incredible facilitator and guide throughout the microdosing journey. I wasn't totally sure what to expect and maybe a little nervous, but Shelby put me immediately at ease with both her knowledge and warm heart. Microdosing has helped me tremendously - it has made me feel less anxious and accept life with more curiosity, empathy, and heart. It will be something I continue throughout my life - and I am so grateful to Shelby for bringing this into my life.

Shelby's guidance has been a blessing on my healing journey. I signed up for Soul Alchemy, looking for more tools to support me in processing trauma and deepening my relationship with myself and spirit. The information Shelby provided was straightforward and easily digestible, allowing me to feel comfortable in a new experience. When more challenging emotions came up in my process, Shelby met them with compassion and empathy. Her coaching style is both strong and gentle, a unique combination that is key in holding space for healing. After working with Shelby, I feel more grounded in myself and empowered to use different tools to connect with myself and spirit. If you have the opportunity to learn from Shelby, I couldn't recommend her coaching and her services enough.
-Shannon Cury, Founder & Lead Facilitator Collectively Well@69 yrs of age, I wanted to experiment on the intricacies of microdosing and I would like to recommend to you that your journey might very well be enhanced with the guidance and tutorial of Shelby. She is trustworthy and cautious and fun to chat with. She is discreet as well and I am grateful for the experience with more to come.

I work with some really challenging personalities in my line of work. Big egos and stressful situations involving lots of pressure and lots of money. I used to wake up panicked in the middle of the night, fire off emails, or draw a lighting set up because I thought I was not good at my job, a hack… imposter syndrome ran rampant. I was ready to quit!
Shelby’s microdosing program changed all of that. Within a few weeks, I found myself calmer and extremely confident, with literally zero stress even on big jobs. I became more in tune with everyone which greatly improved my relationships. I seriously feel like it’s a superpower… I can tell what insecurities someone like one of my clients has and can address that and be sympathetic to that without it affecting me and my mood/well being. It also quells my adhd and allows me to focus and be much more creative for longer bouts. I really think everyone should learn to microdose effectively, doing it right will change your life.
-Lee Diskin, Founder & Producer Extra Medium Co.My experience with Shelby has opened up new perspectives on career and business that I wasn't focusing on. I am aiming my time and energy differently now to work on growth in a direction I feel aligned with.
-Jesse F.
She was able to help me figure out some blocks that were not allowing me from moving forward. She was able to help me figure out goals I wanted to achieve in the next few months and steps to take to achieve my goals. Since my sessions with Shelby, I've made so much progress and have so much more momentum with my business. She is an amazing coach and would recommend her to anyone looking to take the next steps for your own personal growth.
-M.S.After a session, I feel more resolved, lighter, and relaxed. Shelby is an incredible coach. I think every individual who avails her service is blessed and would benefit deeply.

I dabbled with microdosing for a couple years, but never really knew what I was doing. Shelby changed that quickly. Her ability to create a genuine and trustworthy connection, as well as provide guidance and knowledge, helped create the conditions needed to learn, grow, evolve, and most importantly, SEE clearly. I was fortunate to also do a ceremony with Shelby in Joshua Tree and couldn’t have felt more supported and cared for. She was gentle, kind, and loving - just what you need when in such an unbelievably vulnerable state. The heroic dose profoundly changed my life, but it was the microdoses and integration that helped sustain it. I was able to consciously process and integrate what I had experienced, allowing me to heal over the course of the past year. I came to understand my anxieties, embrace my fears, fully accept death, and eventually, step into who I really am. Four things I had avoided for the vast majority of my life. Shelby helped me connect with and validate a lot of what I was feeling. There were major highs of
bliss and acceptance and major lows of grief and loneliness. It took close to a year to come out the other side of it and find stability, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Support from someone like Shelby is absolutely necessary, and she’s become a unique friend as a result. I cannot recommend her more for your own journey should you feel called to one. You’re in good hands.

After consulting with Shelby about my struggles with ADHD and its impact on my life, I was introduced to the concept of LSD microdosing—a path that has completely transformed both my professional outlook and personal mindset. Having previously experimented with microdosing psilocybin, I was familiar with the concept but had never considered LSD as an option. Shelby shared the success she had observed with LSD microdosing, and it addressed every one of my pain points. Together, we developed a clear plan and embarked on the journey.
The results have been nothing short of incredible—far exceeding anything I achieved with traditional treatments. The brain fog and persistent procrastination that once held me back have been replaced by a clarity and focus I hadn’t thought possible. My heightened awareness has fostered a calm yet energized approach to challenges, seamlessly blending focus with relaxation—decisive yet at ease.
The crippling anxiety that stemmed from the procrastination no longer dictates my actions. I now face decisions with confidence and trust that the right answers will come when the time is right. This journey has profoundly enhanced my life. I feel clear-minded, productive, and deeply present, genuinely enjoying every moment along the way.
