Learn about Coach Shor
Hello, I’m humbled and happy you are here. Thank you for learning more about me.
Who I am matters in our relationship and how we know each other in the coaching context. I am a first generation, white assimilated Jewish, queer, trans non-binary, fat person who has called the occupied Dakota and Anishinaabe land known as Minneapolis, Minnesota home for most of my adult life. I have educational and class privilege at this point in my life through many opportunities of schooling and a day job that affords me many benefits. I am a parent, partner, neighbor, community member, and artist. I love nature and being outside, growing gardens and plant friends, and my pets. All of my identities and experiences in life shape who I am and how I approach my work as a coach and healer.

I am committed to de-centering whiteness in my work in one-on-one coaching, small groups and family systems, and through systems change work. I am committed to creating spaces that promote healing, encourage difficult conversations and mutual accountability, and honor each journey towards learning, growth, healing, and change.
Professional Journey
I have centered my work on social, racial, and gender justice in communities and in systems like government and public health. I have been actively supporting gender and racial justice through many projects and organizations like the Minnesota Transgender Health Coalition, Out in the Backyard, SHIFT Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis Transgender Equity Council, YMCA Camp Widjiwagan, the Wisconsin Transgender Health Coalition, LGBTQ HealthLink, and the up-and-coming Twin Cities LGBTQ community center project, Our Space.
Credentials
I am a trained public health professional and healing centered coach who earned a Master of Public Health at the University of Minnesota and became a Certified Professional Coach through The Conductors Program at Blooming Willow Coaching and Consulting.
