A personalised mentorship for soul-led visionaries, disruptors and free spirits who serve a more human world - looking to unlock their creative potential, deepen their self-trust and awareness & boldly share their most authentic creations and offerings.
The name The Playground may feel provocative, but it is not here to diminish (y)our dreams and efforts - rather to bring levity to the exploration. To remind us, that even when we take our expansion seriously, we are allowed to approach it with curiosity and softness. To lower the threshold, to make it easy, to enjoy the path (also the hard parts).
I am here because I believe in all that you are and in your unique voice. Beneath the chase for productivity, beneath the stories of how to be good or the need to earn the right to be you.
I have absolutely no desire to give you one of those magical “5 steps to immediate success”-formulas. Nor am I aspiring to make such a process.
What I do want, is to hold space for you to build your own recipe to more creativity, wholeness and authenticity. To step out into the light. And make it stick. Conventions, expectations and should-s be damned.
And I want to support you in birthing and giving shape to the big ideas and visions that are pulling at your heart - whatever they are - and sharing them with the world.
That. Is where we play.
The intention
But…what does it mean?
You’ve probably never been to a playground like this before.
Here, you get to experience yourself with all the senses, from new angles and without judgement. Play with your edges, bounce with your most dominant patterns, talk to your biggest doubts, and bring your wildest dreams and your most secret ideas to light. It can look like:
- Framing and harnessing your own creative cycle - and build your creative practice.
- Creating rituals and routines that reflect your values and energy
- Deepening self-awareness and rooting into your own life-force
- Liberating yourself from external noise, should’s and expectations
- Establishing healthy boundaries and confidently expressing them
- Learning how to (gently and) sustainably integrate new insight into your everyday
- Reframing stuckness and fear to opportunities
- Defining a vision that keeps you inspired instead of constrained
- Gaining tools and techniques to evolve and express your ideas and offerings
"I have worked with a number of coaches and mentors in the past 7 years and none have been able to open me up to my creative potential as Shani. She not only helped me identify what was standing between me and creation she helped me craft a way, that works for me, to access my creativity."
- Millee Johnson, Life beyond 35 -
Why are you here?
I won’t pretend to know your exact motivations. Everyone has a different story (and I would love to hear yours).
But, most likely you’re here because you feel some sort of friction. With the world and the strange and inhuman reality we’ve constructed. You’ve done the coaching, the therapy, read the books. Taken the courses and the challenges. And you keep coming back to the same feeling.
A quiet whisper, asking for something more. More meaning, deeper alignment, a way of living and creating that energises you instead of turning you into a robot or a self-sacrificing door mat. Something wants to be created through you, that you dare not or cannot grasp yet. And you don’t know where
to start.
You have outgrown the hustle of push and performance,
and crave working and being in tune with your own rhythm and creative cycle.
You burn to create change and bring something good (and new) into the world,
but you need a space to cut through the noise and overwhelm in your head - and heart.
You want to peel back the layers of programming, stories and expectations,
and give voice and space to your true visions and ideas - unapologetically.
You've done all the formats, challenges and structures that should work (but don't),
and are ready to leave that behind to create your own recipe for success.
You are done collecting tools, knowledge and insight about yourself and the world,
and want to start integrating them and embodying them in everyday life - not just advocate it for others.
And you want to allow yourself to show up authentically and with integrity,
to abandon perfectionism and dare to be seen and take the bold steps - with confidence.
This Playground does not pretend to be the one fix, but IS a place to start weaving all of the threads together.
A place to be held - not solved. A place to play with all that is possible (not just think about it). A place to come back to yourself.
"I was in the midst of redefining what productivity meant to me, often falling into the traps of busyness disguised as progress. She was there to catch me, gently guiding me back to center.
She is a master at using her toolkit not to impose solutions, but to help you create your own—one that feels deeply aligned and sustainable. She is a master at cutting through the noise of your mind to get to what matters most. Her presence is grounding, her ability to connect the dots is transformative, and her deep wisdom is something I return to time and time again.
Working with Shani was a shift in how I show up for myself and my work."

No, it's not for everyone
This space is not about vanity or surface level creativity - it is about deep expansion and authentic expression. And that doesn’t come as a one-size-fits-all.
We spend time in the process that is life. We use your abilities, superpowers, questions and preferences - to find the steps, the stretches, fun experiments and expressions that WORK for you. Inside and out. Where you are.
It asks both you and I, to put aside tight boxes, narrow labels and predictive plans. To step inside and play with what is here - right now - and explore what is possible. The Playground has immense potential, but it probably won’t serve you well if you:
Want a quick-fix or step by step guide or recipe for success.
Need someone to tell you what to do.
Are not open to looking at yourself in the mirror (that’s ok, sometimes we aren’t).
Prefer linear ideas of productivity and performance.
Want a space purely to vent, without needing to take responsibility for your growth.
Feel uncomfortable with ambiguity, self-inquiry and divergent thinking.
"Every time I think I’ve had all the creative breakthroughs possible for me right now, Shani helps me un-peel another layer and access even more depth and inspiration. What makes Shani such a powerful partner in your growth is that she isn’t someone who talks about the creative process — she’s someone who lives it.
When you’re doing the kind of work that veers off the common path, there’s nothing quite like the support from a guide who truly gets it and is also gifted at facilitating that process from the inside out."

Working together - a dance with freedom & frames
The Playground adapts to your needs and context. But we depart from these four pillars - to take your creativity from idea to practice:
Wholeness
You are whole. There is nothing to change or fix.
You already have all that you need. What we get to explore are just all the opportunities - however small - for you to be you and bring that forward with more clarity.
Celebrate who you are and honour it
Understand your relationship with creation
Define your boundaries and non-negotiables
Presence
What is true and what is here in you. In. This. Moment - guides us.
Using all of your senses (not just the mind), to see and understand your unique energy and potential. Allowing the path to unfold and approaching it with openness.
Experience yourself - your edges and energisers
Articulate the ideas and visions that are present
Identify what stands between you and your creative vision
Play
New practices don’t grow in your mind, they are nourished by your actions.
The way you find your path is not through thought and planning, but through curiosity, trial, experimentation and sensation. Over and over and over again.
Find your places to start
Create clear focus and tangible action - to bring yourself and your ideas to the world
Identify ways follow the pull and creative nudges
Impermanence
You are fluid, -ever-changing and you don’t need to be contained or streamlined.
We don’t hold any phase or emotion more holy. We simply get to learn how to harness the beauty in each. Creating frameworks and questions to lead you through your cycle of creation
Define your guiding principles and creative drivers
Powerfully shift perspectives and ideate expansively
Playfully iterate and evolve your creations (outside of your notebook)
"Not only does working with her catalyze a mindset shift, it also comes out as concrete plans, ideas and doable action points to be implemented. After a meeting with Shani, I feel energized, ideas and motivation sparkling, and, unexpectedly often, blown away. I walk away with a sense of "I can do this".

Inside The Playground
Every process is different, because every person is different. We use your questions, stuckness, dreams and possibilities to guide the process.
But each Playground includes:
Sessions are long and it’s on purpose. Creativity and creation asks for meandering, going off on tangents, entering unexpected realms in unexpected ways. Only to ground into the things that truly matter. These sessions provide the space. Each one offers intuitive guidance in different shapes - from deep listening, joint brainstorming and facilitation to visualisations, creative exercises, deep personal exploration and breathwork.
Whether within or between the sessions the willingness to look at yourself, to inquire within, to listen to the body and your knowing - permeates our work together. Through questions, prompts for writing and observation, and creative tasks we access the essence beneath.
However much has been explored, each session ends with framing an intention for you to focus on until next we meet. It is not homework, but acts of commitment to yourself - your soul and your creations. It is here to help you focus on “smaller” opportunities to interact with instead of always waiting for the big pivotal moments. With my guidance we circle the most simple way for you to stretch, observe and access more of your potential - and set it as a task for you. It is not here to add strain, but to enhance the impact of this time you are giving to yourself.
Sometimes we need a space to co-create beyond words. When our exploration asks for it, we use the Miro board to add nuance, use artistic expression and activate more of your senses. It also acts as a space to place inspiration or to return to in order to remember, celebrate and appreciate the path taken.
The space in between contain a lot of magic. Between visions. Between sessions. Between humans. That is where most expansion and insight arises. That is where we catch sight of ourselves, that is where we fear to act - or jump on the chance to do it. The process isn’t just in the moments we meet. It is continuous. Which is why I always offer the option to connect beyond our meetings. It may be for support, feedback or accountability. We decide together.
"The open and curious space Shani holds in sessions is one of a kind. Her creative and curious way of thinking and connecting dots put me in such an honest and deep inner dialogue with myself. Her presence and guidance helped me to put blurry emotions into words and intentions into actions and plans."
