Movement Coach | Body, Root & Soul

"When we begin to inhabit the body as our primary way of sensing, feeling and knowing the world, we find that we as humans are in a state of intimate RELATIONSHIP and CONNECTION with ALL that is"

Reginald Ray

Shannon is a dedicated lifelong student of the body and embodied healing arts, serving as a movement guide, somatic educator, and coach since 2001. Her diverse practice encompasses movement medicine, somatic arts, the LifeArt Process®, breath work, hakomi, and nervous system rebalancing, alongside expressive arts and creative and intuitive processes. Through various somatic and healing art forms, Shannon helps individuals engage deeper self knowing and inhabit their true selves unapologetically with fierce love and self acceptance.

By exploring unconscious patterns and core beliefs, she empowers her clients to transform learned survival strategies into a more authentic expression of present life and helping them move beyond old familiar themes from the past that may impede them from becoming their fullest self. Her approach is holistic focusing on our multitude of bodies, integrating and harmonizing physical, mental, soul, spiritual, emotional, ancestral and energetic layers of self.

we work towards evolving into and becoming whole again, remembering what is at our core essence and recovering and returning home to essential self. Decolonizing thoughts, beliefs and ways of relating to self and our own uniqueness, medicine and engaging with our own life that feels authentic and empowered.

this is a spiritual and embodied journey, deeply rooted while rehabilitating our fluid nature and intuition. this is a journey back and into self, true self, beneath all that we have been socialized and shaped into, what we have learned from environmental and family of origins. this is about returning to our deep innate knowing of self, our true wild nature. who would you be if you had no fear? this is coming home to our innate intuition and trusting our own inner compass and knowing.

mindfulness and embodiment practices including the art of SLOWING down and learning to unfold into ourselves and open up to our own mythic stories that lie within, our own true nature, just as a flower blooms open unleashing its beauty into the world each day unashamed and spacious and fully who they are. Learning these somatic practices allows us to move through whatever life is throwing our way as we have gained an invaluable resource as an ally, OUR BODY. I fully believe that healing is possible, balance is possible, and our body wants this all the time, to move back into a state of homeostasis, balance and healing is what our body KNOWS, it's in our nature.

Embodiment is learning the language that our body is speaking to us all the time, tuning in and attuning, just as a mother does with her newly born child. Recognizing its calls of distress and joy, learning its resonance, answering the call or cry of our own bodies. This is deep decolonization of our own thinking and deprogramming our way of relating to our own flesh, bone and earth. This is deep work of coming home.

Sensation and intuition is our birthright, it is not something we learn, it is something that we remember and reclaim. we can learn to respond, sense and feel from a place of integrity, authenticity and presence. This is the gift of the body.

Shannon is a dedicated coach who has empowered a diverse range of individuals from those who suffer from low self esteem and self worth, those who identify as highly sensitive, neurodivergent, empathic, those dealing with chronic illness and auto immune, cancer survivors, trauma survivors, people pleasers and those that struggle with boundaries, ancestral trauma carriers, black sheep of family, those navigating life transitions or going through dark night of the soul, suffering from grief and loss, longing for belonging, creatives, introverts and atypicals, menopause and other rites of passage, motherhood and those recovering from a mother wound. With a compassionate approach, Shannon helps her clients achieve deeper alignment with their true selves, fostering a sense of embodiment and purpose in their lives. Together, they work through challenges such as anxiety and PTSD, guiding each person their unique journey to healing and fulfillment.

We think in our minds, but we KNOW in our bodies. Our body is a map, a compass, a history of our past and ancestry and we can learn to metabolize emotions, even ancestral and intergenerational trauma, and deal with stress and overactive nervous systems by practicing embodiment. Our body is unique. Our bodies are amazing. Our bodies need us. Your body needs you. the world needs more embodied humans in touch with their own heart and unique sensitivity.
