“Shannon’s teaching and coaching style is warm and direct. She is challenging and confrontational without being divisive or demeaning. She is skilled at naming saboteurs and shit circumstances and helping you move through them stronger and more centered than you started. She has a sense of humor but doesn’t allow funny business or time wasting. I have felt powerfully called out without ever feeling shamed - that’s tough to do and Shannon does it well.”

“I think one of the powers of coaching is that it equips you to coach yourself when you're not with your coach. Shannon has such a genuine, kind, caring, thoughtful presence and it helps to channel that when I'm focusing on showing myself grace outside of our sessions.”

“Shannon has helped me bravely look in the places that scared me, while always letting me choose if and when I was ready to look there. With her support, I have changed jobs multiple times, navigated a painful and life-changing divorce, built strong relationships with multiple partners, and generally ridden the waves of life with more consciousness, kindness, and acceptance.”

Ashley

“Shannon helped me accept myself in the change and not judge myself or make something my fault as I am prone to do.”

Kelly

“Shannon has an amazing way of connecting you to the best of you and creating a clear path to achieving that vision. Shannon brings such joy and compassion to her coaching that you can't help but be better for the experience.”

“After working with Shannon, I had more confidence and self-authority. I was better able to understand my needs and have the courage to take action and risks to move towards what I want. I moved across the country to a new city and it helped change and catapult my life in a new, very supportive direction.”

Kathryn

“Shannon helped me remember that peace, grounding, being in touch with my heart is only one breath away.”

Raquel

“I moved to an unfamiliar state to take over the leadership of a traumatized and fractured organization.  Shannon helped pull me back from the overwhelm and piece by piece, address the areas needing to be strengthened.  Most critically, she continues to to help me see that every challenge and every conflict. She has helped me understand that I can get through something difficult and be ok - maybe even stronger - on the other side.”

“Shannon brings rich experience about how humans work, leveraging her learnings as a coach, a human, and a therapist. She is deeply trauma-informed and trauma-competent, yet she doesn't approach people from a medical or sickness mental model, but rather from a whole-person model. This belief in human possibility, along with awareness of very real chemical realities in the body and oppressive systems in the larger world, makes her able to coach with compassion, with conviction, with self-awareness, without falling into some of the idealistic and reality-ignoring pitfalls of the life coaching industry. Shannon is bold while gentle, deeply intelligent while deeply listening, and sees both the present moment and the client's history and system.”

“Shannon has helped me talk about things I'd rather avoid and sort through emotions to get to a place of intentional decision. She has been an empathetic yet clear-voiced coach & thought partner for some very challenging times in my life, especially as I moved from corporate life to being a solo-preneur. She is a gem!”
