curiosity, and authenticity. Shannon has extensive experience helping people optimize
emotional and physical wellness in all areas of life, including relationships, careers,
unexpected life transitions, retirement, high-level leadership, dating, marriage, and
parenting.

Shannon’s clients hail from various walks of life – entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes,
attorneys, stay at home mothers, retirees, adolescents – and all ages, from 15 to 75
years old. Many of her clients are highly intuitive yet are facing barriers, limiting beliefs,
or otherwise are feeling stuck in their relationship, career, life transition, or personal
endeavors.
