about

getting diagnosed with cancer in the middle of COVID led shannon to stop sprinting up the corporate ladder and slow down. prioritizing mind, body, spirit healing became her new full time job.

breathwork was the most powerful tool she found, restoring her spirit from years of burnout and bringing more profound self awareness & growth than years of therapy.

when shannon went back to their leadership role in recruiting at Google, wellness was their new brand. they led with their heart whether in managing a high performing team, creating & running wellbeing workshops or co-leading their organization’s inclusive hiring program.

she created collectively well to build community that meets you where you’re at. the mission to elevate collective wellbeing comes from a passion in connecting people with their authentic Selves for individual & collective liberation.

following a passion for healing through story telling, her writing has been featured in cosmopolitan and she was formerly the co-host of cancer actually f***king sucks: the podcast.

today, shannon is a breathwork facilitator, writer and speaker based on kumeyaay land in san diego. her private practice serves behavioral health centers, the cancer community, and compassionate workplaces. when she’s not holding space, you can find her cold plunging in the pacific or going for walk and talks on sunset cliffs.

    Breathwork for Burnout Workshop

  • I started working with Shannon because I was looking for more tools to manage anxiety in addition to weekly therapy. Shannon's role as a coach far exceeded my expectations and helped me transform my life from within. The combination of guided breathing, hypnosis, meditation and journaling allowed me to break through long standing negative thought patterns and get closer to my own intuition. The safe and encouraging space they held allowed me to reconnect with my authentic wants and needs. As a result, I now have new tools to help me decipher between what others want for me and what I actually want for myself. Shannon helped me find my way back home to myself while expanding my mind to what I never thought was possible.

  • Working with Shannon has been an absolute privilege. She has held space for me in ways that I can’t truly verbalize. We started working together as I was navigating some heavy grief and loss. I noticed that with every session, I set an intention of empowerment & self compassion. Through the breath sessions, I gained clarity on the ways I was downplaying my worth. With this awareness and newfound empowerment, I started showing up for myself in ways I didn’t expect to. I felt more connected to my body in way that wasn’t geared towards the way it aesthetically presents. By no means is my work complete, it may never be. But I feel one step closer towards my goals. 10/10 recommend this healing goddess.

  • Shannon has a presence and a gift. The spaces she created allowed for me to feel comfortable in a new experience, expanding my capacity for discomfort outside of the breathwork session. Through harnessing vulnerability as a skill and sharing her authentic journey, she fosters space for community and connection that is second to none.
