Our Story

Meet the Founder

Chart Lyfe was created from lived experience within healthcare. The long shifts, emotional exhaustion, critical incidents, burnout, and the often unspoken weight many healthcare workers carry behind the scenes.

After years of working across healthcare settings and personally experiencing the impact chronic stress and burnout can have on the mind and body, I recognized the need for more compassionate, trauma-informed support for those who spend their lives caring for others.

Today, Chart Lyfe provides trauma-informed education, wellness support, critical incident debriefing, resources, and community for healthcare professionals and organizations navigating high-stress environments.

Faith-integrated support options are also available for individuals, churches, and organizations seeking Christian-centered care.

Founded by Shauntel Howard, RN, MSHI, BSN, RN-CHC, internationally certified trauma debriefer and healthcare educator, Chart Lyfe exists to help healthcare workers feel supported, seen, and cared for too.
