A Sanctuary for Healing, Self-Care & Transformation
Meet Shantanique (the lovely Shay) – The Heart Behind the Shift
I’ve always believed that growth doesn’t have to feel like a struggle, healing doesn’t always have to be heavy, and self-care should be luxurious, soulful, and deeply personal.
I felt empowered when I finally allowed myself to rest and embrace the softness in my life. When I took the time to reconnect with my femininity, I allowed the walls around me to crumble. Though I am more attuned and embrace vulnerability, I still have protection around my heart, just as a rose still has its thorns. Our shifts will look different from each other, but the desire to incorporate more pleasurable and pleasant moments connects us.
As a therapist, storyteller, and entrepreneur, my mission is to help you navigate the shifts in your life with grace and ease. Whether it’s through intentional scent experiences, transformative conversations, or empowering insights, I’m here to remind you: you deserve softness in your healing. You deserve beauty in your growth

The Vision Behind Shift Happens with Shay
Shift Happens with Shay isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement. A space where healing meets empowerment, where self-care is more than just a routine—it’s a revolution.
Through mindful conversations, luxurious self-care essentials, and a community of like-minded women, we embrace the shifts that shape us, finding beauty in transformation.
I wanted to create a space of beauty amid trauma, hurt, injustice, and so forth because we are more than our most painful stories. There is a next page in our story, there is an after for our hardships, and there is the most liberated version of yourself awaiting her reawakening. This is the space to recreate the narrative of your life, and it starts with one shift at a time.
Shift Happens with Shay Values:
Nourish (Cocoon) — to honor your stillness and tending of your spirit.
Awaken (Emergence) — to rise with curiosity and courage.
Radiate (Flourish) — to shine your truth and beauty into the world.
Embody (Soar) — to live fully, freely, and unapologetically you.
Why “Shift”?
Because growth isn’t always gentle, but it is always beautiful. Every challenge, every change, every breakthrough is a shift that leads you to something greater.
And why Rose & Shift? Because scent is memory, emotion, and transformation wrapped into one. Scent is a powerful sense; its power is so immense that it transports you instantly to moments in your life. Those moments feel vivid because you are re-experiencing it minute by minute. I wanted to use the power scent to take you from fight-flight-or-freeze to beauty-rest-luxury-and healing. Each fragrance is designed to ground you, uplift you, and create a space where you can exhale fully and freely. Each scent will be a new part of your safe space, allowing you to feel more confident in your ability to create beauty and safety in the home and on the go.
Rose & Shift Values:
Soothe — to create spaces of softness and peace.
Reclaim — to return to your body with compassion.
Anchor — to ground yourself in the present moment.
Bloom — to remember that healing can be beautiful.
