Not the life you wanted? If you have childhood wounds but hoped by now you'd be happier, I get you. Maybe your heart feels crushed 10 ten times over. Or you're angry and want to yell. You work hard only to find yourself in this frustrating place. Maybe you've tried spirituality, but it didn't help enough. Maybe nature is comforting, but you still aren't thriving. I can help you heal and thrive through compassionate communication, inner parts work, guided imagery and awareness, and embodied, scientifically researched practices (regulated breathing, EFT tapping, and more). If inner peace/joy/love is worth your investment, I'm here.

We can look at patterns that ensued after your first wounds, to transform mental blocks, anxiety, and trauma triggers. We'll release stress and stories stored in your body and write the next chapters of your life. These chapters will be different, about integrating the painful experiences and moving forward with new insight, hope, strength, & contentment.

You can wake up more rested, with energy and clarity to do what's best for you (it serves the world better when you are grounded and healthy). You can navigate work and relationships with more joy and ease. Discover the steps to take each day to keep from falling into despair. You will feel better about who you are! Call me today and let's begin.

It's said that one can't take another deeper than they've gone themselves. Shannon has explored the depths of heart and soul like none other I know. Her expansive presence, amplified by the natural and spiritual world she works with, can hold it all.

Shannon has the strength, wisdom, and compassion to hold the most painful parts of human experience, and to help guide people back toward healing and joy. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for innovative approaches to their healing process.

Shannon invites us to experience a posture of wisdom, reminding us that we are inherently good and capable of navigating life's peaks and valleys. Whether on a sofa or in the forest, Shannon meets you where you are. What a gift.

Brittny Jordan

Shannon's welcoming presence creates a safe space to be vulnerable. She holds an intuitive knowing of what it means to walk in peace on this Earth, which shines through her use of nature-based healing practices. Shannon can help with deep self-connection.

I focus on your inner experience, and how present-day thoughts, emotions, and body sensations can weave together with past memories to create an evolving story about who we are and who we can come to be. If you are open to exploring your perceptions of experience through visualizations and other self-inquiries, you'll love my work.

Groups

Self-Compassion, Love, & Worthiness Group

Hosted by

Shannon Gorres

If our parents were overly critical, emotionally abusive, not present enough, or some form of under-affirming, we retain scars of their message: we're not worthy of deep love. We truly are, but it takes work to fully realize it. Practicing self-talk of compassion helps us shift to really loving ourselves. In addition to facilitating group reflection on the Self-Compassion Workbook (by Kristin Neff), I'll teach how we can listen with empathy to ourselves and others and model a self-talk process of kindness and acceptance, which saves energy for change.
