Shell is a spiritual growth incubator based in Venice Beach, California helping people from all walks of life - addicts, ex-cons, trauma survivors, individuals, couples, families, executives and companies - shift their narrative and recover their primary purpose. At Shell we look up, not down. We pride ourselves, in our individual coaching sessions or in our residential transformation program, on providing attuned listening in an empathetic, non-judgmental and safe space in order to get at the heart of what's stopping you from living out loud. One of the things we do best at Shell is spiritual matchmaking.  Whether you're the Academy Award winning actor or the local handyman, we'll help you find your tribe. We make connections, we introduce people to each other who we know are going to click. Friendships and a few marriages have been born here too.  So many people during the pandemic tuned in to their desire to pursue their life’s purpose and make big changes. We can help you discover your calling, connect with and pursue it with vigor and passion. If you haven't ever leapt out of bed in the morning with excitement, it's just a matter of time. Saying "I don't know, can you help me?" is the bravest thing anyone can do. At Shell, whether you've reached rock bottom in your addiction, your relationship or your family is struggling, your professional life needs a kickstart, it all starts with the courage and humility of recognizing there are demons that need to be faced. That kid in the picture...that's my son. Being human means acknowledging our pasts and doing what we can to track the impact it has on the people around us. Whether you're a father, mother, brother, sister or friend, your darkness doesn't have to become theirs.  I say, shame on them for treating me that way, shame on me for staying that way. My son has never had to visit me in prison. He has never seen me high. Instead, we've traveled across the world together and, under his own steam, he's invested or operational in four businesses and bought a car with his own money. He's only 18. You don't need to be an addict or an alcoholic to get emotionally sober. That's for everyone. The biggest addiction almost everyone suffers from is the dependence on others to tell them that they're OK. Most of us are validation junkies. We rely on people or circumstances to supply us with prestige, security, and self-love. At Shell we believe that everyone is naturally inclined towards growth. Nobody is past the point of no return. Usually we aren't harder on anyone more than ourselves. We give ourselves conditions of worth - I “should” be this and that before I am worthy.

As a member of the Recovery Community and Addiction Treatment Field, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I would not be who I am today without the wisdom and guidance that I have been so fortunate to receive. The influence upon my daily life is tangible. I would encourage those that are seeking a higher level of personal care and concierge level service, to reach out to Shell Ave. You won’t regret it.

There is no better for Concierge Case Management and Life Enhancement. I have referred very difficult cases where a year later the transformation in the person was remarkable. If you desire a life altering experience that will raise your consciousness to a higher plane, this is it. Shell is a community of harmonizing spirits that will help you go “higher” emotionally, physically, spiritually and professionally. This is a life long community filled with love and transparency. I consider myself a member of this community and it has only enhanced my life.

Absolutely never thought therapy was for me until I started talking with Seano. He literally brought things out of me that I never thought possible and helped me to see a whole new life for myself. Honestly, I think everyone needs his coaching! His experience, great care and downright brilliance brought so much peace to my life! He offers many different ways for people to help themselves— so there’s something for everyone. If I knew how Shell would change my life, I would’ve done this long ago!!!
