"I am not what happened to me,
I am what I choose to become."

ABOUT SHANNON
FOUNDER OF STILLWATER HEALING
I started Stillwater Healing to help those who feel mired or stuck in their current life and are looking for a new way forward. My joy of learning and curiosity combined with facing life's challenges have led me to the discovery of the many, nuanced layers of personal growth. I have had a circuitous path that led me in search of a personal inner depth. After graduating from college with a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management, I accepted a job in Alaska looking for a dramatic change in my life in hopes of shifting my life's circumstances. After three years in Alaska, hoping that a geographic leap would be a catalyst for deeper change, I moved across the globe to Guam. While working for the Air Force, I earned a Masters in International Management. Still searching for the elusive missing piece, I followed the traditional path of marriage and motherhood. I became a homeschool Mom which allowed me the privilege to witness and honor the wonder of the innocent, joyful child's approach to learning about the world around them. Witnessing this unencumbered approach to learning inspired me to explore and seek out new ways to deepen my knowledge of areas that seemed foreign and unknown to me.
My active, intentional leap of faith down the path of inner exploration began with becoming a Usui Reiki practitioner, eventually becoming a Level 3 Reiki Master. I continued to follow my curiosity by becoming a certified Biofield Tuning Practitioner in 2019. I am also a practitioner in the modalities of Access Bars and Emotion Code.
I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge on how to help our bodies get in touch with our innate intelligence to heal and become whole again. I believe that we all have within us the answers to the questions that we are asking. Sometimes, we need help clearing away the debris to attain clarity to hear the answers. To quiet the din of the outside world.
Have you have found yourself just going through the motions in life, one day blending into the next? Maybe you feel that you have lost your spark or direction in life?
The term, highway hypnosis, refers to an altered mental state in which a person drives a vehicle great distances responding to external events with no conscious recollection of doing so. We have all experienced this phenomenon time and time again when you have been driving for miles only to suddenly realize that you have no memory of how you got there. Operating on autopilot or automaticity is a pattern that we fall into in our daily life, a pattern that does not serve our highest good.
I know, I too have been there. I have woken up mid-life and wondering how I got lost in my own story. I can tell you that you can not only find yourself in your story again but you have the ability to contribute to the creation of your future storyline.
If my story sounds like yours, or resonates with you then consider joining me in stepping into your own story and living your life with intention.
