About me

Hi, I’m Shana

I’m a curious, high-energy human who has spent most of my life living in beautiful Devon in the UK and I’m currently based in South East Asia.

I’m massively passionate about travel, sunshine, nature, animals, mind-body-soul connection, holistic living, good energies —and importantly making the most of each day we’re gifted on this planet.

Sol Journey by Shana was born after a personal shift—one of those moments where the world felt like it ‘tilted’ . It’s hard to put into words, but there came a point when I asked myself, ‘What am I really doing with my life?’ I knew deep down I wasn’t meant to spend it working for a bank, stuck inside all day, counting down to the next holiday. I felt there was so much more out there for me—and within me to give to this world!

So, I surrendered. It kind of happened by accident as these things often do- but in that moment of letting go, I just fully trusted that everything would work out. One thing after another began to align—signs, nudges, opportunities. There were definitely deep-breath moments and big decisions I had to make, the right thing to do is often the scariest, but I kept listening to my intuition. I reminded myself: You’ve got this. Now is the time.

I left my 17-year corporate banking career and began a journey of inner growth and solo travel. I wanted to create something that I was passionate about, that I would actually be good at and that would help people in some way. And that is how Sol Journey by Shana was born.

Helping people see just how capable and wonderful they are has always been my passion. I’ve done it throughout my career—coaching, mentoring, supporting others to reconnect with their own power, their purpose, and their potential.

Because here’s the truth: you already hold everything you need within you. With the right support and guidance, you can bring your vision to life—and live it, fully.

This work makes my soul shine. And I hope it will do the same for yours.

Life will always have external challenges, but the real transformation begins within.

I’m simply here to walk beside you—supporting and guiding you on your own Sol Journey.

Qualifications & Experience

With over 17 years of experience in retail banking in the UK, I’ve supported people through growth, change, and transformation — from managing teams and leading coaching programmes to mentoring individuals 1:1.

That experience taught me the realities of high-pressure environments — burnout, uncertainty, and the longing for balance and fulfilment.

Now, through Sol Journey by Shana, I combine my corporate background with qualifications in life coaching, holistic wellbeing, and yoga to support people navigating life’s pivotal transitions — from leaving corporate careers, redefining their identity after motherhood, or starting new ventures, to rediscovering purpose and clarity through personal change.

I help clients move from uncertainty to confidence, from feeling stuck to taking aligned, inspired action.
