Soothing…This is the energy I associate with Shannon, her music, her sound bath meditations, and her breath work.

Beauty… This is what she reflects and reveals through her lived wisdom.

Transformation… This is what I experience through the gift of her divine offerings.

Gratitude… This is what I whisper when I say her name.

Meeting Shannon has been a blessing.  Her talents with breathwork and sound healing are powerful.  I didn't realize how much of my life I had been holding my breath, and the real power of breath.  On one level, the importance of breathing should be common sense, as through the breath we get what we need to live.  But there is so much more.  Real breathwork unlocks something very deep inside to allow true healing to begin.  In my sessions with Shannon, I have moved through some of the biggest and most powerful changes and healing moments.  She provides a safe space for this to happen, and she has an absolutely amazing gift to know exactly the right music to play.  Every song in every session is spot on to the work I need to do that day.  I am so in awe of her gift!  Shannon is a gift herself and I highly recommend others explore and experience the power of breathwork and the healing work this amazing woman offers.

For several years, I have been thinking about and exploring possible practices to facilitate a transformative experience for myself – some way to get "un-stuck”  from an emotional rut. The potential of breathwork felt both accessible – and for a long time, also terrifying: letting go of control, I didn’t know what I would find, or if I could handle it.

I recently decided I was ready, and I made an appointment with Shannon shortly after my 45th birthday, as a gift to myself.
My first experience with breathwork felt like an unfurling for me, of me – the kind of opening up I had been desperately seeking.

I felt entirely in my body and grateful to be (a marked difference from my usual state). I was unconcerned with who or what I was, or how I seemed to others. For the first time (possibly in my life?) I felt what it was like to not care – not in a glib or intellectual way (I almost felt like I couldn’t access my intellect directly, which felt like a relief, a new kind of freedom), but in the sense that I was almost totally un-self-conscious – that my only concern, my only awareness, was that I was alive, that I had a body. The wonder and fascination, the awe-someness of that. Wow.

While the intensity of that feeling and that clarity was not super long lasting, it remains with me. I cannot un-know that I have within me the capacity for that freedom of be-ing. It is perhaps this aspect of the experience for which I am most grateful, and most changed by.

The breathwork practice itself was, for me, an intense experience, but in the best possible way. Shannon is gifted – truly. Her generous and gentle care and support is what created the possibility for my experience. I look forward to my next session with Shannon and to making breathwork a regular practice in my life.
