After 19 years of marriage, my world turned upside down in ways I never saw coming. It was gritty, raw, and heart-shattering. But in the ashes, I found something deeper: the capacity to hold both truth and compassion—to stop abandoning myself while staying connected to others.
That rupture became my real training ground. Not because I wanted it to be, but because healing required me to practice everything I'd been teaching—this time with everything on the line.
For over two decades, I’ve been a coach, a yoga teacher, and a leader of transformational programs. I founded Shift Power Yoga, built Shift Labs, and have guided thousands of people through growth, leadership, and healing. But the truth is: my real credentials come from life itself—the grit of heartbreak, the grace of healing, and the courage to keep showing up.
This is the work I now do with others: helping people recognize the moment they abandon themselves, stay present with discomfort without collapsing, and create change that lives in their body—not just their head.


Today, I weave this philosophy into everything I offer:

How I Work: The CORE Method

How I Work: The CORE Method:
Most coaching focuses on insight. But insight without integration just creates more shame. Here's how we do this differently:
Create Safety — Your nervous system won't let you change until it feels safe to. We start by regulating your body's threat response so transformation can actually land.
Observe the Pattern — You're not broken. You're running software installed when you were young. We bring awareness to habit loops, self-abandonment cycles, and invisible contracts—not to judge, but to see clearly.
Restore Self-Trust — Self-trust isn't confidence. It's follow-through with your own truth. This is where you learn to choose yourself without disconnecting, set boundaries rooted in self-respect (not fear), and repair instead of retreat.
Embody & Integrate — Insight becomes practice. We rehearse new responses, regulate in real time, and integrate change through repetition—not a single catharsis.
This work isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about remembering what's intact.
You're exhausted from managing everyone else's emotions while abandoning your own
You know your patterns but can't seem to break them
You've intellectualized your trauma but haven't metabolized it
You're good at helping others but terrible at receiving support
You're ready to stop explaining yourself and start trusting yourself
You want change that sticks—not another weekend breakthrough that fades by Tuesday

Stop defending the loops that keep you stuck. Learn to see your unconscious habits without shame—so you can finally choose differently.

Your body remembers every time you abandoned yourself. Regulation isn't theory—it's practice. We teach your system it's safe to change.

You can't heal in isolation. Learn to stay connected while speaking truth, repair without retreating, and stop performing your way through relationships.
Working with Pam has been an absolute game-changer for me. Initially, I was hesitant to explore coaching, feeling unsure if it was the right fit for me. However, I couldn't have been more mistaken.
Shift Labs programs have been absolutely game changing for myself and my team. And the ability to use the BC Training Grant is incredibly valuable as well. Cannot recommend them enough for both businesses and personal! They have helped so many people I know!
Pam Rader and team are like no other! I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Pam and continue to utilize her coaching services, I wouldn’t be who I am proud to be today without the guidance and coaching from her. Couldn’t recommend enough!
