Shelly OConnell

Shelly OConnell is a flirting instructor, relationship instructor, and confidence instructor for women based in Vacaville, California. She has been coaching in this capacity for about six years and operates her own business, where she guides women to take a fresh perspective on flirting by deconstructing patriarchal rules. This approach helps clients return to their center playfully and lightly while embracing their true nature unapologetically and building healthy boundaries. OConnell holds a Master's of Divinity and a Bachelor's of Science in Behavioral Science. Prior to her current work, she served as program director for Rape Crisis and chair of the Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and she worked as a case manager for women and children going through domestic violence. She attributes her success to her discipline in running her own business and her focus on meaningful work that fosters positive transformation without heavy lifting. OConnell values connection and enjoys seeing positive change happen, which she helps instrument wherever she goes.
