Root & Rise Retreat
October 3-7, 2025

A journey home to yourself in the heart of Basque Country
Biarritz, France

Breathwork, yoga nidra, kundalini yoga, yoga, lymphatic drainage techniques to flush the body, daily tea and breathwork/meditation ceremony, workshops, hiking, nourishing food, rest, relaxation, reflection, a community of like-minded people and so much more. (+ a welcome gift and post retreat support).

A Place That Nourishes Every Sense.  Root and Rise takes place in one of the most enchanting corners of the world - Biarritz, France.  A coastal gem nestled in the heart of the French Basque Country, where the ocean meets the mountains and tradition meets tranquility.  Our sanctuary for the retreat is a breathtaking traditional French Basque villa perched above the coastline offering expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rolling green hills that define this storied region.  With its whitewashed walls, terracotta rooftops, open-air spaces, and a serene pool, this villa holds us - offering a perfect mirror for the inner spaciousness we’ll cultivate during our time together. Every corner of this space is an invitation to exhale - to move into a slower more present way of living.  Biarritz is known not only for its breathtaking beauty but for its magnetic, healing energy - a place where earth, water, and soul converge. It’s the perfect backdrop for a retreat devoted to self-nourishment, embodiment, and remembering who you are at your core.  This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to come alive.

Is Root & Rise calling you?

  • Have you been giving so much to others that you've forgotten how to truly give to yourself?

  • Do you long to feel held, safe, and nurtured - not by someone else, but by your own presence?

  • Is there a part of you whispering for stillness, for space, for time to simply be - without needing to perform, fix, or achieve anything?

  • Are you craving reconnection with your body, your breath, your rhythm - and a life that flows from the inside out?

  • Do you feel like something inside you is ready to soften… to exhale… to remember?

  • What would it feel like to come home not just to a beautiful place, but to yourself?

Who is this retreat for?

Tucked away in a stunning traditional French Basque villa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Root & Rise is more than a retreat - it's a reclamation. A remembering. A returning.

We live in a world that often teaches us to push through, to disconnect, to seek outside ourselves for answers, validation, or peace. But true healing begins when we remember that everything we need is already within us. This retreat is a sacred pause - a chance to break from the noise and gently turn inward. To meet yourself again, with compassion and care.

This is your invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with the most essential parts of you - the parts that long to be held, seen, and nurtured.

Over the course of soul-nourishing days, we’ll root into our bodies, breath, and inner wisdom - gently releasing what no longer serves so we can rise into deeper alignment, strength, and softness. Through breathwork, yoga nidra, kundalini yoga, yoga, lymphatic drainage self-care, hiking, and ocean immersion, we’ll honor our need to be supported - not by others, but by ourselves.

This retreat is a space to mother yourself. To nurture yourself.
To come back to the truth that you are your own safety, your own love, your own home.

You’ll be held in a nurturing container surrounded by nature, community, and the rhythms of coastal France. Between practices, you’ll enjoy spaciousness - poolside rest, nourishing meals, sunset walks, dips in the sea, and heartfelt conversations with like-minded souls.

✨ Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, nourished, and renewed.
It’s time to root down… so you can rise.

  • "The Peace is Power Retreat was very well organized, the food was amazing, and flow of activities was perfect. Shannon and Rainbow are incredible at providing a nurturing container for soul work, making sure you feel comfortable with the emotional, and sometimes physical, releases. They make you feel completely at ease and handle what comes up with grace and compassion, which helps you feel at ease with yourself, letting your guard down to really ground into what needs to be processed. It is empowering to be witnessed on this journey, and these women truly are your cheerleaders. From tea ceremonies in the morning to breathwork and shamanic work in the evening, the days were packed full of juicy goodness but still allowed time for reflection and integration, walks on the beach, and fun things like surfing and beach fires. I am very grateful to have had this experience and to have these women in my corner. Thank you Rainbow and Shannon."

    ~ Rachelle, Business Owner

  • "From the moment I met the both of you, there was an instant warmth and safe-ness in the air. We took a walk on the beach and I was feeling a little nervous, as I did not have a prior relationship with you as Rachelle had. Kinda felt like the new kid at school. I took a walk out to a big rock to sit and really centre myself with this experience we were about to have. At this time Shannon, you came and asked to join me. It was such a welcoming feeling, to have you come approach, curious to get to know me. We sat and chatted and soaked in that beautiful scenery. The days that followed were such an intense learning experience. A lot of firsts for me, not just physically, but emotionally as well. I was able to surrender and be totally open because you created this safe nest for us to release in. Being held in this healing circle of women who related and had guidance was so powerful. The kindness and acceptance you both provided really penetrated deep within me. It helped me drop my protective walls and allow myself to connect in vulnerability. From the slow quiet mornings, to our afternoon adventures, nourishing healthy meals, to our evening journeys and reflections this helped heal me. The deep conversations, the laughter, and the ever changing weather of the island allowed us to bond organically. I am so grateful that I took a leap of faith, and signed up for this retreat. It has helped me understand more about my true self, and helped me trust my intuition to guide me on finding my authentic life. Who is Jessica, and what does she need? How does she nurture herself so that she can nurture others? What is holding you back? I found answers to these questions, and answers that I didn't even know I needed. So, from the bottom of this bright beautiful heart, I want to thank the both of you. I cannot wait to connect again, and hopefully help others in finding the same. You are both uniquely powerful and have amazing gifts to share. "

    ~ Jessica, Restauranteur

  • "Shannon and The Collective Alchemy’s Course the Shift was LIFE CHANGING for me. It helped me take a step back and address a key area in my life that was making me feel stuck. What surprised me most was that I went into the course with an intention to move through one area of my life and ended up having a huge, life changing shift in another - which turned out to be exactly what I needed to feel unstuck and move my life forward after years of being stagnant and held back. The course helped me find a greater understanding of myself, find more happiness and contentness, and helped move me forward in making positive changes in my life. I highly recommend this course to anyone curious to explore a deeper sense of self and, who is truly ready to transform their life in a big way!"

    ~ JD, Entrepreneur

  • "After entering one of the lowest points in my life, I saw a post from Shannon that said are you experiencing anxiety, grief, and (a myriad of things), to which I checked off all, and I just replied yes. I needed help - and I had no clue what Somatic Breathwork was - I just knew I needed help and yoga and counselling and exercise and friend/family support was not getting me out of the state. She offered an at-home visit where she facilitated a somatic breathwork session - and my experience was like no other I've had before. I typically avoid things that at first glance feel spiritual or a little 'woohoo', but I soon realized this is not that - and you don't need to prescribe to any beliefs to be able to experience something beneficial from it. You experience a physical change as you breath through the session and with her asking me questions and prompting me with visualizations I uncovered some answers I never believed I had within me, nor where they what I had anticipated or expected. As I followed the visualization, I started mentally preparing myself to answer, 'Okay I'm going to reply with this'...but what actually came out - what I actually answered, was something I had never even thought of before, it was an answer I didn't know was inside me. I was blown away and this was my start into integrating the Collective Alchemy's breathwork practices into my daily life. Shannon is an incredible facilitator, her understanding of what you experience and how to navigate through is so comforting and safe and calming and every session I go to I come out feeling more empowered, healing and lighter. No matter how deeply or how different each experience is. So grateful to have found her! I have had her in-person one-on-one sessions, her group sessions at Breath Fitness Studio and over zoom and they have all offered me hope, peace, freedom, comfort and healing."

    ~ Ali, Branding and Web Design

  • "Shannon has magic running through her veins. My path crossed with Shannon more than a year ago - I thought I knew what I was in for, but boy oh boy, I quickly found out that this form of breathwork was like nothing I had done before. Through Shannon’s gentle, calming yet incredibly powerful guidance and support, I have used my breath to tune into long stagnant emotions that needed my attention. This work has been more transformative for me than anything else I’ve ever done. Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your magic with me."

    ~ Morgan, Senior HR Leader, Oil & Gas

  • “Shannon’s guidance through teaching breathwork is soothing and relaxing even for your first time. She makes you feel at ease, loved and safe through the whole process and this is why I love doing sessions with her.”

    ~ Dom, Olympic Athlete, Acupuncturist and Business Owner

  • "Shannon and The Shift: Healing Breathwork course is likely to be the most transformational thing I have or ever will do. I feel so fortunate to have completed the program 1:1 with her and equip myself with the tools she helps bring to light. Her energy is uplifting and inspirational and I can already see a marked change in my outlook on life and trust that this will continue on for years to come as a direct result of what I learned. She changed my perspective on myself and reduced YEARS of stress and damage done to my nervous system. My closest friends and loved ones instantly noticed the positive change and my new calmness and perspective shift. I cannot recommend this more. Shannon's work is exactly what the world needs right now to heal and move forward with love and light."

    ~ Dani, Business Owner

  • "I recently completed The Shift with Shannon. WOW! I have experienced and loved my breath practice for a few years now,but had not used it as a directed practice before in this way. Shannon's guidance to help calm and settle my mind, resulted in so many positive outcomes in my life. She provides a warm, safe, inviting space in which I felt truly comfortable and could trust her with the work we actioned. Each session had an outline and was joyful to complete, as was the homework. With Shannon and breathwork, I was able to move through some of my 'sticking points', much more rapidly and effectively than had I been going along as I was alone. After each session, I left with a sense of a weight being lifted. This feeling lasted well beyond the session. It sounds simple to do a conscious breath, BUT having support and guidance I would argue is key to sticking to the practice and delving deeper whilst being held and supported. My experience was impactful, beautiful and much needed in my life. I would strongly suggest this program with to anyone wishing to make a small or large shift in their lives."

    ~ Emma, Marketing Director

  • "Working with Shannon 1:1 in her course The Shift was very beneficial for me. The breathwork and the course sessions allowed me to get clear on how I could best help myself. I am more aware of my breath on a regular basis. I try and use the tools I’ve learned why I start to feel anxious. I trust myself more, say no more, and try to have more compassion and patience for myself. I highly recommend this course for anyone feeling stuck and looking for focus and clarity."

    ~ Meredith, Teacher

  • "I experienced a profound shift in my mental state after my breathwork session with Shannon. I was able to take a break from my busy mindset to drop deeper into my body and learn what it truly needed in order to heal. I released deep rooted emotional blockages leaving me feeling lighter, kinder and more aligned with my true vision. I would highly recommend everyone experiencing breathwork at least once, and Shannon is an experienced and compassionate guide in this deep healing modality."

    ~ Linsday, Owner Health & Wellness Clinic

  • "Shannon's virtual breathwork session was absolutely incredible. It was my first time ever doing breathwork and she was so welcoming and created the safest container possible. Immediately I felt safe, calm and at peace to surrender into the session wherever it was going to lead me knowing I was in good hands with her guidance. She kept checking in to make sure I was feeling comfortable throughout and her guided breathwork was something I'll never forget. One of the greatest emotional releases of my life. Her incorporation of meditation and journaling to set the stage for the breathwork was fabulous also. I am now obsessed with breathwork and will be taking her classes regularly and recommending them to everyone!"

    ~ Jamie, Divine Transformation Teacher

  • "I worked with Shannon 1:1 to complete The Shift: Healing Breathwork Course. Shannon is an exceptional facilitator who created a safe and supportive environment throughout the course. The structure of the program allowed me to not only practice breathwork and dive deeper within the sessions but also equipped me with tools to practice outside of our designated time together.  Throughout the course, my biggest achievement was reconnecting with myself through my breath. As someone who had never done breathwork before, I am now confident that I will continue to use this practice throughout my life. After completing the course, I feel that I have a deeper understanding of myself and have begun to rebuild trust in myself. Thank you, Shannon, for guiding me to feel this way!"

    ~ Eve, Marketing Director

  • "My experience with Shannon and Rainbow facilitating a breathe work and shamanic journey was nothing short of a profound healing experience!! Unexpected and so incredible. It was equal to the depth of truths that I experienced and released through an ayahuasca ceremony a decade ago! Minus all the unpleasant things involved with those journeys. They are a pleasure to be with and hold space for everyone in a beautiful nourishing way. If you want to open your heart, connect deeper and feel all the feels. This is your vibe! ❤️"

    ~ Jenna. Artist and RMT

  • "Breathwork with Shannon is a journey that I was blessed to take. I have so much gratitude for that opportunity. It was an amazing experience to improve mental clarity, self connection, and peace. Every time I did breathwork was a different experience but all of them were a remarkable one. It helped healing, calming my mind, and providing a great heart-opening opportunity. The modules were very well structured with very good supportive tools for our daily routine. My intuition increased with a great sense of belonging and purpose. I highly recommend taking The Shift course. It is a life changing experience."

    ~ Sylvia, Dentist

  • "The Collective Alchemy’s ‘The Shift’ course was a truly transformative experience in my life. I had previously practiced Breathwork so I was aware of the many physical and psychological benefits, but the course really allowed me to dive even deeper into my healing process. Before starting, I had a clear objective of what I wanted to focus on throughout the series and with Shannon’s guidance I was able to uncover deep seated walls and unnecessary narratives that were ingrained throughout my life. By discovering what was holding me back, I was able to consciously work past my blockages and arrive at a place of greater understanding and acceptance of myself. Although I had very clear objectives, I noticed that some sessions really brought up some unexpected realizations of past and present experiences or beliefs that gave me even further clarity. I feel a great sense of focus and peace in my life now and I very much look forward to continuing my healing journey through Breathwork. Thank you Shannon for facilitating such a wonderful practice!"

    ~ Janelle, Clothing Designer

  • "I was entirely new to breathwork when I met Shannon but I knew I needed to change something in my life - I started by attending a few of Shannons workshops. I was not really sure what to expect as Breathwork is quite different from anything I have done in the past but each time I walked away from a workshop I felt like I had a weight lifted off my shoulders - each experience being entirely different however I somehow felt each time that I got exactly what my body needed in that moment from each session. I then went on to sign up for the healing breathwork course: The Shift, which was quite a turning point for me. I learnt so much about my inner self - my wants and needs, rather than what I am expected to want. How I can show up for myself, staying grounded and calm during difficult times. I found myself immensely looking forward to each weekly session and no matter what i was dealing with at that time, I always walked away from the session at peace, knowing the best way to move forward with confidence. I cannot recommend Shannons practices more! I am always waiting for the next workshop date to be set, excited to get my fix while using the practices I have learnt from her on a daily basis."

    ~ Emma, Owner Harmony Whistler

  • "I’ve had the privilege of attending breathwork sessions with Shannon, and each one has been unique and truly transformative. Her clear and gentle instructions make it easy to follow along, and she consistently creates a safe, nurturing container that allows us to explore beneath the surface. Every session has helped me ground into my body, release what no longer serves, and return home to what feels like my true Self. The space she holds is both powerful and healing, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves."

    ~ Mariana, Financial Analyst

  • "Shannon’s Classes are remarkable, there are always new insights coming up and old tensions melting away. Highly recommend!"

    ~ Chrissy

  • "I had an amazing breath work session at Breathe in Squamish with Shannon. She is so competent, supportive and passionate about helping people. I felt very comfortable and guided by her. I would highly recommend her to feel safe and heal!"

    ~ Amber, RMT and Acupuncturist

  • "I recently attended one of Shannon's breathwork classed in Squamish. Her expertise and compassionate approach created a safe and nurturing space for deep relaxation and inner exploration. During the class, I was surprised by the emotional release that breathwork unlocked within me. I found myself processing long-held emotions and gaining a newfound clarity about my life. After the class, I felt a sense of calm and clarity that I hadn't experienced in a long time. My stress levels significantly decreased, and I noticed a boost in my overall well-being. I highly recommend this breathwork class with Shannon to anyone looking to improve their physical and mental health."

    ~ Michelle, Lead UX Designer

  • "Shannon was an exemplary instructor. I cant wait to go to more of her classes."

    ~ Robert, Sales Manager

  • "I have found the 1 on 1 breathwork sessions with Shannon extremely helpful. The sessions felt very welcoming and supportive, would definitely recommend for anyone looking to enhance their well-being through breathwork!"

    ~ Nathan, Osteopath

  • "Shannon is an amazing breath facilitator who makes you feel safe and heard from day one. She holds space with a warm heart, listening and offering her knowledge openly and authentically."

    ~ Steff, Digital Marketer

  • "I completed The Shift and the course was great! It helped me find a bit more clarity and peace in my busy life! I loved meeting weekly by zoom as I can struggle to do an online course if it is 100% self-paced. It’s still a work in progress, but I like that I have access to the recordings and extra material whenever I feel the need for a refresher. Thanks, Shannon for this opportunity!"

    ~ Roxanne, Business Owner

  • "I had a wonderful experience at my recent breathwork session! The space felt calming, and Shannon provided clear guidance with a supportive presence. The session helped me release tension and connect deeply with my breath, leaving me feeling lighter, centered, and energized. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a transformative practice—whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional release, or just deeper self-awareness. I’ll definitely be returning!"

    ~ Erik, Business Owner

  • "I have done some basic breathwork in yoga before but never anything like this. I cannot believe the physical and emotional sensations that were running through me as we progressed. It ignited healing that I didn't even know I needed. I enjoyed starting with an hour of Kundalini Yoga and the movement helped me get into the place I needed to be for the magic to happen. It was a truly transformative experience, and I cannot thank you and Sarah enough. I will definitely be signing up in the future!”

    ~ Lauren, Business Owner

  • "I've always looked forward attending Shannon's classes. She is very calming, welcoming and has always given me a safe place too feel vulnerable. She speaks so gentle so when having to dig out certain emotions that is needed in the healing process, she makes it all just a bit easier. For anyone that is trying to do 'self work' I highly suggest her clinics."

    ~ Amanda, Carpenter

  • "The breathwork session was a great way to relax and recharge my energy after being mentally drained from going through difficult times. I felt a tingling sensation surge through my body and it was boost to my body and I felt well rested after the se

    ~ Jocelyn, Web Designer and Marketing Specialist

  • "I enjoyed the workshop Shannon gave on virtual breathwork. I’ve always been resistant to meditation and breathwork since it can be hard for me to slow down and sit with my ‘stuff’ - mental clutter, body discomfort etc. Shannon gave a succinct workshop that flowed well. The opening meditation, journaling and breathwork, plus closing discussion went surprisingly quickly and I felt relaxed yet uplifted after. The practice is something I’ll take with me as a tool for wellbeing. I look forward to joining in on another session"

    ~ Marcia, RMT

  • "I attended one of Shannon's breath work shops as a first timer so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by how calming,and centering the class was for me. We started the class with a simple mediation and journal entry before the actual breath work began, and for the first time in a long time I felt my mind switch off as i was focused on the rhythm of my own breath,and sensations in my body. I found for the rest of the day, and days later, an increase in energy levels, and overall more clarity. I am definitely interested in doing more!"

    ~ Serena, Spa Manager

  • "I felt amazing and much more grounded after our session. I sleep well now too!"

    ~ Meaghan

  • "Wow! What an amazing experience! I felt the electricity running through my body and at the end there was a lot of peace within myself. Shannon guided us very well throughout the journey, and she was making sure we were ok from the beginning to the end."

    ~ Juno, Owner of a Marketing Firm

  • "I had an incredible breathwork session with Shannon. It was my first time trying breathwork and I can honestly say it won’t be the last. As someone who loves personal development and spirituality- breathwork was very interesting to me and having heard such great things I was excited and open to trying. Shannon was an incredible facilitator who made me feel comfortable, safe, and connected- even through ZOOM. I was left feeling tingly and lighter and had the best sleep afterwards. I’d highly recommend doing breathwork with Shannon, and I definitely will be diving into this more as well as gifting it to family and friends who could use it!"

    ~ Paige

  • "Thank you so much for leading the session with my family yesterday. I really enjoyed it and from what I’ve gathered, my family did as well! My mom just let me know she slept the best she has in a long time, so thank you, from all of us. I want to note, I was initially a bit skeptical of how it would go over zoom, but it really exceeded all expectations. There is definitely something special about being in a space and being able to experience the breathwork with others but also extremely rewarding to be able to have the experience on your own in your own home."

    ~ Erin

  • "Thank you again for the workshop, it was amazing, some things definitely came up for me that I’m still trying to process. The past couple months have been kind of rough and this definitely helped! I’m a firm believer in breathwork, kundalini yoga I haven’t actually practiced in a few years and Realized today how much I enjoy it! So thank you again"

    ~ Alonso

  • "Your guidance on Sunday morning allowed me to have the most wonderful warm and tingly deep focus session! And focus is what I have been asking for. You can only imagine the productivity that I have had over the last couple of days. "

    ~ Jo, Gym Owner and Yoga Instructor

  • "I had a wonderful experience tonight. Tingling full body drew me deeper inside and I felt not just release of tension but psychological reasons for my long time holding on. How does a person use words to talk about what hides just beyond the veil?! (Besides- magic)."

    ~ Kairn

  • “Breathwork was a new practice that I wanted to explore as part of my overall health program. Shannon’s guidance throughout the entire process was incredibly supportive. Stress is a large part of what I try to address and manage with exercise. I found the breathwork quite restorative in a way that my physical exercise could not provide. Shannon’s program proved to be a good method for me to “just be” for a few moments.”

    ~ Julie, President of a Plumbing Company

  • ‘Shannon created a welcoming, calming and unique experience as my first introduction to breath work. As you stepped into the dome it was stunning, and I felt transported into an area that felt further than pemberton! Shannon made sure the environment was comfortable and warm, and walked you through what to expect, had authentic conversations and was able to provide a personalized experience. Her guidance and care through the breathwork session built trust and allowed you to be you just as you are. I would highly recommended Shannon’s breathwork sessions and any workshops available.’

    ~ Ellody

  • "I’ve had the pleasure of doing breathwork with Shannon 3 times now. The first time was at an in-person event in Whistler and was the first time I went through the practice of breathwork. It was such a wonderful event and left me feeling optimistic for the future and wanting to continue to incorporate breathwork into my life. I felt so empowered afterwards that I wanted to share it with my family and friends. I partake in another session that was virtually and included kundalini yoga. Again, another wonderful experience. My third session was with my family. I set up a session as a Christmas gift and we were able to partake virtually. I would highly recommend working with Shannon."

    ~ Erin

  • "The experience was incredibly powerful, although I feel like I only scratched the surface. I've been dealing with pain from an injury, and after the session, the pain disappeared. I experienced such profound relief—it was surprising and unexpected. I never imagined I could feel so comfortable in my body. I was worried the feeling would fade, but I still feel okay. I've had to take things slower this week and reassess what I can handle. I also wanted to express my gratitude for having a guide. Your presence was immensely helpful. You exuded kindness without judgment, which made a significant difference for me."

    ~ Anna, Yoga Instructor

  • "I have been far more aware of my breath and my energy this week, thank you for your guidance."

    ~ Renee, CEO Health and Wellness Company

  • "It was a great experience working with Shannon. She creates a really safe environment for individuals to explore at their own speed and tailor the session to their own needs. The combination of great music selection, solid journalling to prime the psyche and a spirit guide like Shannon leading the way made for a profoundly transformative experience. "

    ~ William, Sales Expert

  • "it had been a few years since I’d done a group breathwork session like that and I forgot how powerful they really are. I always take away something great from breath sessions and that one was no different, it allowed me to see a current stressor from a different point of view and helped me move past that issue."

    ~ Tyler

  • "I'm feeling good after the session. Things are definitely shifting. I have a few things I've been working through and the breathwork is really helping."

    ~ Sam, Teacher

  • "Thank you Shannon for another breathwork session. It can be a lot, balancing professional demands with personal responsibilities. Our sessions have provided a level of clarity and calm I didn’t know was possible. And I really appreciate you creating a space where I can feel comfortable releasing stress and processing emotions on a deeper level. These sessions have improved my focus, decision-making, and resilience in the workplace, while also helping me to be present and grounded in my personal life. Your guidance and persona has been invaluable, and I consider these sessions a critical part of maintaining my performance, well-being, and success. Looking forward to doing more with you."

    ~ Ian, CEO Dot Digital

  • "Hi Shannon, thank you so much for that session! I found it super helpful and clarifying. It was bringing up a lot of pain so I was rather emotional so I thought if I shared I wouldn’t be able to get my words out. I’m cutting a chord with an ex from a year ago, so it’s clearly quite a deep rooted chord if I can still feel it but I feel that session really helped to shift my mindset forward, definitely feeling more clarity now"

  • "Hey Shannon! Thanks again for last night. That was my first time doing a cord cutting ritual and I really loved it! I felt really safe to open up with you and the group. and I was actually surprised at how much wanted to come out and be released. I was a bit skeptical TBH, but I truly did feel lighter and less energetically / emotionally connected to the person I wanted to cut the cord with. ✂️ I could feel space opening up and felt lighter and less anxious afterwards. And hopeful that I wouldn’t be dragged down by this person and situation for much longer. Thanks! I look forward to joining another one with you."

  • "Hey Shannon, I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible breathwork sessions. You have such a calming energy, and I always leave feeling lighter, and more grounded after. Your guidance has really allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level, and more importantly, heal recent grief. You’re truly a gift, and I’m so grateful to have found you! See you again this week 🙏"

  • "I just wanted to let you know that the breathwork I did with you definitely helped me. I'd been in a pretty bad state for a while. I felt a lot lighter and less tense so something was definitely released. Thank you!"
