During this session, we will spend our time working on identifying places that a patient may be stuck in beliefs or behaviors that are holding them back from healing physically and mental-emotionally. We do this through the lens of Chinese medicine theory.
In eastern medicine, we believe that stagnation, both emotional and physical, can lead to dysfunction and disease. The goal of this work is to free up stagnation, to get “unstuck”, in order to find more physical and emotional ease and freedom throughout the mind & body.
Often, initially we are not even aware that something is stuck or out of balance. We are going through the motions of life and yet, something in us either physically or emotionally is signaling that something is not quite right.
We will spend time investigating limiting thought patterns and beliefs. We will shift attention from the mind to the physical body to investigate; are we experiencing pain, tension, heaviness, irritability, grief, etc? Where is it felt in the physical body? What it is this stagnation/pain/ ache/ grief/ frustration trying to tell us? Are we holding on to old patterns and beliefs that no longer are true or serve us and that are, in fact, causing us physical discomfort?
These sessions allow us to go deeper than our daily mindset often allows. You already know what is keeping you stuck or stagnant. I am here as a facilitator to find that inner knowing and help you move towards more authentic and peaceful well being.

“When Shannon announced that she was going to start offering Mind Body Coaching, I felt like it was such a natural next step in her practice. I had to sign up! Shannon has the ability to help me untangle my thoughts and take me from a state of overwhelm to having my jumbled mind broken down into easily manageable parts. The biggest help has been with getting me out of my head and connecting back with my body. Through the combination of coaching and acupuncture I leave Shannon’s place feeling grounded and uplifted!”
