Having studied holistic healing from both a spiritual and scientific perspective for more than 15 years, Shannon is committed to the idea that you can improve your health and your life as you begin to heal old emotional and physical wounds, and that this can be done with nothing more magical than your body’s own natural inclination towards health. She has a philosophy of empowering others with the knowledge and the skills to make their own permanent healing happen.  After working with holistic wellness clients one-on-one for about two and a half years, Shannon chose to expand her practice into working with couples and families through mediation. 

Shannon studied Psychology and Biology at Gustavus Adolphus College, specializing in Mind-Body health. She has explored teachings in Shamanism, Touch for Health, seminars from Carolyn Myss, as well as Unlimited Body, and Unlimited Breath. In 2005, she journeyed to Tibet to gain a deeper understanding of the principles of Unlimited Healing and was inspired by the amazing culture there. She has studied mediation through classes in Non-Violent Communication, Erickson Mediation Institute, and Christine Leick's Dispute Resolution Services.

Born in South Dakota and raised in Nebraska, Shannon lived in both Colorado and California before moving to Bloomington, Minnesota, where she lives with her husband Steve. Shannon and Steve spend most of their free time racing sailboats locally on Lake Minnetonka, as well as at national regattas across the country.
