Helping People Stay Grounded While Growing Through Life's Challenges
Hello, I'm Shantae—a longtime educator, mindfulness instructor, academic coach, and founder of Grounded N Grace.
For nearly two decades, I've worked with students, families, and educators, helping them navigate both academic and personal challenges. Throughout my career, I've witnessed firsthand how stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm can impact learning, relationships, and overall well-being.
Those experiences inspired me to create Grounded N Grace—a wellness and educational consulting company dedicated to helping students, educators, families, and communities build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and thrive.
Through programs like Mindful Moments, our signature mindfulness and social-emotional learning initiative for schools, along with academic coaching, wellness workshops, and community experiences, we provide practical tools that support both personal growth and long-term success.
At Grounded N Grace, we believe that wellness and achievement are not separate journeys. When people feel supported, grounded, and empowered, they are better equipped to learn, lead, and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
Whether I'm partnering with a school, coaching a student, facilitating a workshop, or leading a wellness experience, my mission remains the same:
To help people become more grounded, more present, and more equipped to thrive.
My Approach
I believe growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered.
My approach is rooted in:
🌱 Compassion
🌱 Connection
🌱 Self-Awareness
🌱 Practical Strategies
🌱 Lifelong Learning
Rather than focusing solely on performance or outcomes, I help people develop the skills and mindset needed to navigate challenges, build confidence, and create sustainable success.
What I Do
School & District Programs
Mindfulness and social-emotional learning experiences that support student wellness, emotional regulation, resilience, and positive school culture.
Academic Coaching
Personalized coaching that helps students strengthen reading comprehension, executive functioning, organization, study skills, and academic confidence.
Wellness Experiences
Workshops, guided mindfulness sessions, community wellness events, and speaking engagements designed to help people reconnect with themselves and prioritize their well-being.
Why This Work Matters
Mental wellness isn't just important—it's essential.
In a world that often encourages people to push through stress and overwhelm, I believe everyone deserves opportunities to pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether you're a student navigating academic challenges, an educator supporting others, or someone simply looking for healthier ways to manage life's demands, you don't have to do it alone.
Together, we can create space for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
