Meet Shree Portonovo — Our Newest Coach at Change by Challenge

We’re thrilled to welcome a new member to the Change by Challenge coaching team: Shree Portonovo, LCSW, MPH — a licensed therapist, trauma-informed coach, and passionate advocate for embodied healing and personal growth.

Shree brings a rare depth of experience and heart to her work. Her journey has taken her across the globe—from community health work in East Africa to clinical leadership in the American mental health system. Along the way, she’s cultivated a unique coaching style that integrates science, spirituality, and somatic awareness.

Her coaching is rooted in the belief that the body holds profound wisdom—and that healing and growth happen not just in the mind, but through connection to the nervous system, breath, and inner truth. Clients who work with Shree often describe feeling deeply seen, gently challenged, and empowered to move through old patterns with clarity and compassion.

In Shree’s own words:

“I see coaching as an invitation back to our own inner authority—a place where we lead ourselves with curiosity, integrity, and presence. The more connected we are to our own experience, the more consciously we can choose our lives.”

We are beyond honored to have her as part of our team and can’t wait for you to experience her calm presence, thoughtful insight, and holistic approach to transformation.
