Shawnti Refuge
(she/her)
Hi, my name is Shawnti. I'm a mother, sister, and friend: but first, I am ME. I became a Master Certified Mental Health Coach and Advocate after having a mental breakdown in 2018. Since being on my healing journey, I found my purpose which is to help women to not go through what I went through, and if they have, to know they are not alone and there is hope & healing in a safe, non-judgmental space. In 2025, I was awarded the Mental Health Phenomenon for my work throughout the community. Who is Shawnti? I'm a funny, outspoken, confident, laid back, no-nonsense woman. I'm a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have three adult children. I live in the suburbs of Houston, TX. I'm pretty much an open book as I use my personal story to help others.

Host Reviews
"Shanties group was great, she poured life into us and did it with such grace and love!! She gave great advice and suggested great way to heal and put ourselves first. thank you for gently teaching us"
"Loved the group; it was my first time attending and it made me feel less stressed and lighter. I will definitely attend again in the future! I do wish the platform would not automatically cut the sessions off and allow the facilitator to stop them instead. That is the only complaint I have so far! Thank you for hosting the group and for the wonderful insight!"
"Positive and encouraging. Thank you! 😊"
"Wonderful group today. Shawnti has a way of forcing me to reflect on my healing journey. Thank you everyone for sharing & thank you for another great session Shawnti."
"Shawnti is just the best! She brings such an encouraging nurturing, motivating essence to the container & environment she’s cultivated. Highly recommend her workshops & group sessions for anyone that’s on the journey of self discovery, self awareness and taking accountability for their own life!"
