Dear Kindred,

I am honored and humbled that you might be curious “About Shannon”. It’s important that we pause for a moment on this path so I can highlight some truths.

The “About” section of this website invites me to share things about myself so you might “know” me better. This section is actually full of accomplishment-sound-bites! While it is true that my life has been nourished by my accomplishments, my life has also been nourished by challenges, mis-steps and struggles. I don’t have a section with those details on this website!

Another truth is that I am halfway through this human path ya’ll! That means I have PLENTY of path behind me and hopefully PLENTY of path before me as well. Nourishing opportunities abound!

I invite you to notice what qualities (personal style, accomplishments, lived experiences etc.) are important to YOU in a coaching partnership. It’s so important you find a good fit.

My own path includes; the earth, holistic growth, dance parties, music, art, fitness, community, family, friends, broadway, social justice, dogs and LOTS of walking! What’s on YOUR path these days? Perhaps our two paths may cross.

Warmly,

~shannon
