Live-In Life Coach: Immersive Coaching Experiences
Why This Works When Everything Else Hasn't
You’ve tried the self-help books. Downloaded the apps. Maybe even hired a coach or two. And yet here you are- still battling the same patterns, still stuck in the same cycles, still knowing you’re capable of more but unable to break through.
The problem isn’t you. It’s that piecemeal approaches can’t create integrated change. Real transformation requires more than just clearing old hurts or setting goals in isolation- it requires addressing every interconnected piece of your life simultaneously, in real-time, in your actual environment.
That’s why I don’t do traditional coaching. I move into your life- literally!- to help you rebuild it from the inside out.

Immersive Coaching Experiences
When I’m in your space, there’s no hiding. No putting on your “best face” for a video call. No pretending everything’s fine between sessions. You get someone who sees your patterns in real-time and won’t let you bullshit your way around them.
This isn’t about weekly check-ins and vision boards. This is about dismantling what’s not working and rebuilding what does- while you’re living your actual life. Because transformation doesn’t happen in theory. It happens in the messy, real-time moments when you’re triggered, overwhelmed, or falling back into old habits.
The cost of staying stuck isn’t just discomfort. It’s your relationships, your potential, your peace, and ultimately, the life you know you’re capable of living. The question isn’t whether you can afford this kind of intensive work. It’s whether you can afford not to do it.

How We'll Work Together
Truth & Kindness
I’m not here to coddle you or tell you what you want to hear. But I’m also not here to tear you down. Real growth happens when someone cares enough to tell you the truth and is skilled enough to deliver it in a way that motivates instead of destroys. You get honesty without cruelty- because that’s what actually creates change.
Practical Wisdom
Theory is useless without application. You don’t need another framework to study- you need actionable strategies you can implement today. Every tool, every insight, every conversation is designed to translate directly into real-world action. No fluff, no philosophical meandering, just what works.
Relentless Accountability
No escape hatches, no excuses, no “I’ll try harder next time.” When transformation is the goal, comfort can’t be the priority. You get someone who sees through the stories you tell yourself and holds you to the standard you’re actually capable of meeting.
Real-Time Implementation
We don’t just talk about change; we practice it in the moments that matter. You change by doing, not by discussing.
- Practice Over Theory – You already know enough. What you need is someone making sure you actually do it- in your real life, with real stakes, until it becomes automatic.
- Doing The Work – Change doesn’t happen in your head. It happens when you’re in the middle of your actual life, implementing new patterns until they become second nature.
- Built-In Accountability – When I’m in your space watching your patterns unfold in real-time, there’s nowhere to hide from the work. You can’t fake progress or rationalize your way around what needs to change.

Areas of Focus
Your life isn’t compartmentalized, and your transformation shouldn’t be either. Real change happens when we address issues on every level- because fixing your sleep doesn’t matter if your relationships are in shambles, and setting boundaries is pointless if you’re still living in chaos. Here’s what we tackle together:

Emotional & Spiritual Health
- Splankna sessions for releasing stored emotion (optional)

What to Expect
I live in your home for 2, 4 or 6 weeks. You keep working and keep your important commitments- this isn’t a retreat. I join your daily routines (yes, including family meals), so I see your patterns in real time and can step in when it matters most- not just during a scheduled session.
You’ll still have your private space and personal time. We set those boundaries before I arrive.
And when I leave, the support doesn’t. You get weekly 30-minute check-ins by video, message or phone- for 6 weeks after SHIFT, 12 weeks after EVOLVE, or 6 months after THRIVE.
How to Get Started
- Take the free Holistic Life Audit.
- Book your 90-minute consultation. If ICE comes up, I’ll send you a short pre-qualification checklist.
- Choose your program- SHIFT (2 weeks), EVOLVE (4 weeks) or THRIVE (6 weeks)- and we set your dates. A 25% deposit holds your spot, and your consultation fee counts toward it.
- Your balance is due 14 days before I arrive.
- Before I arrive, we agree on clear boundaries- private areas and personal time.
- I arrive, and the work begins in your real life.
Program pricing is shared on your consultation call.
Questions About Immersive Coaching Experiences
Is Splankna required?
No. Splankna is optional. During ICE, our Splankna sessions happen in person.
Can my family be part of it?
Yes. ICE happens in your home, in your real life- and that includes the people you live with. I can work with more than one person in your household.
Will you travel to me?
I can travel to most locations. Travel beyond a certain distance costs extra, and we’ll talk through the details on your consultation.
Is ICE faith-based?
My faith is part of everything I do, including ICE. But you don’t have to share my faith to work with me.
Do you work with men?
Yes. Most of my clients are women, but I work with men too.
More questions about privacy, schedules and what happens after ICE? See all ICE questions in my FAQ.
Your Coach
I’m Sheli Dodson- Master Certified Splankna practitioner, Listening Splankna Certified, and founder of Desiderata Consulting.
My finance career taught me to handle sensitive topics and hard conversations with care- and to build relationships people trust. Then, as a five-star Airbnb hostess, I made sure every guest felt welcome and at ease. So when I’m in your space, you get someone who respects your boundaries and helps you get more comfortable in your own skin- while keeping it honest and real.
Experience Transformational Change
This isn’t about adding more self-improvement tasks to your to-do list. It’s about fundamental shifts in how you show up in your life. Here’s what we work toward when you commit to doing the work:
