Meet Shelly Bergen, M.S.
Life Coach | Educator | Mom of Four | Connection Builder
"Don’t we all wish babies came with their own manuals?"
These sweet, complex little humans arrive in our arms without a guidebook—no instructions, no roadmap—just pure potential and deep emotion. As parents, we long to write beautiful stories on their blank pages, filled with laughter, growth, and connection. But somewhere between expectations, daily stress, and developmental curveballs, things can get overwhelming.
I’m Shelly Bergen, a Life Coach with a Master’s degree in Psychology, more than a decade of experience as an educator working with neurodivergent students as well as typical learners, and—perhaps most importantly—a proud mom of four. I've worked closely with parents, adolescents, and teenagers in both educational and coaching settings, helping families navigate real challenges with practical strategies and emotional insight.
Parenting isn’t about perfection. It's about building trust, staying present, and learning how to connect—authentically, consistently, and intentionally. To schedule an appointment email me at shelly@bewellcollective.com
I believe strong parent–child relationships are built through:
● Positive shared experiences
● Honest, open communication
● Meaningful daily interactions
● Focused, realistic goal setting
● Clear, compassionate expectations
● And guiding children to discover a sense of purpose and direction in life
Helping children find their purpose—whether it's a passion, a strength, or simply a sense of belonging—starts with connection. When parents feel supported, equipped, and grounded, they’re able to model purpose-driven living for their children and nurture it in them, too.
And let’s not forget: we were children once, too. The way we were raised, the stories we carry, and the patterns we’ve learned all shape the way we show up as parents today. The good news? With the right tools, awareness, and support, it’s absolutely possible to create a healthier, more connected, and purpose-filled family dynamic.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to grow—I’m here to help guide you through it.
