Yvette Lapensée is the definition of resilience and love in action. A devoted mother, caregiver, and advocate for rare disease awareness, she has built her life around turning challenges into triumphs. After her divorce when Sophie was just five years old, Yvette raised her three children on her own, navigating the highs and lows of single motherhood with courage and determination. A few years later, the family faced the devastating loss of Sophie’s father, a moment that could have broken them. Instead, Yvette chose to rise even stronger, shaping a life rooted in dignity, advocacy, and joy for Sophie and her siblings. Today, alongside her supportive partner, she continues to create a home filled with love, laughter, and hope.Sophie, born with a rare syndrome that makes her journey unlike anyone else’s, embodies the spirit of perseverance. Her courage, her smile, and her unstoppable zest for life light up every room she enters. She is not only navigating her own path, but also contributing to vital research that brings hope to other families living with rare conditions. Sophie is a daily reminder that life is not defined by limitations, but by the strength and joy we bring to each moment. Together, Yvette and Sophie are more than mother and daughter, they are role models for resilience, courage, and the belief that every day is a brand-new opportunity to shine. Their story is about more than rare disease advocacy; it is about refusing to let hardship define you, about building strength from struggle, and about reminding the world that joy, love, and possibility can be found even in the toughest circumstances. They are living proof that when you choose to rise above, every single day can be extraordinary.

Shauna Hawkes is a radiant force of healing, transformation, and compassion. With a soul deeply rooted in service, her journey through the field of social work spans some of the most challenging and profound human experiences—ranging from the confines of maximum-security male prisons to the tender, fragile worlds of teenage pregnancy centers, addiction recovery programs, and high-level therapeutic group homes. In every setting, Shauna brought not only her expertise but her unwavering heart.
Her work is far more than professional—it is spiritual, intuitive, and profoundly human. Certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Matrix Reimprinting, and holding the title of a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Shauna seamlessly weaves these powerful healing modalities into a deeply holistic approach. Through her guidance, individuals don’t just find balance—they rediscover themselves, their worth, and their light.
Shauna is also a gifted psychic and an inspired practitioner of the Gene Keys, a system that uncovers one’s divine blueprint and higher purpose. Her intuitive insight and spiritual wisdom open portals for others to walk bravely into their own transformation. Whether in a private session or amidst the energy of one of her transformative yoga retreats, Shauna creates sacred spaces where people feel seen, safe, and profoundly supported.
At the core of Shauna’s mission is a fierce dedication to guiding others home—to their truth, to their peace, and to the untapped strength within. Her presence is a sanctuary, her voice a balm, and her work a bridge between pain and possibility.
Through every offering, whether it be on the mat, in a circle, or through the lens of soul wisdom, Shauna walks beside those ready to reclaim their story with courage and heart. She is not just a teacher—she is a mirror, a mystic, and a loving guide into the magic of self-discovery.

Working on my upcoming self-help memoir has been a journey that’s gone deeper than just telling my story it’s about offering something real and lasting to others walking through their own struggles. I’ve made it far into the process now, past the early drafts and surface-level ideas. I’ve had time to reflect on the honest, hard-earned lessons life has taught me, and each page is shaped with intention. This project isn’t just a book; it’s a piece of my soul and a legacy I want to leave behind.
