Hey there! I’m Shannan,
founder of Kairos Coaching for Holistic Healing, where mystery meets practice!
I’m an intuitive guide and healer, dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their intuition, bodymind wisdom and cultivate a life of self-trust and soul-self acceptance.
Here’s a bit about my own journey
My journey began in my adolescence with traditional therapy, and I’ve spent decades actively piecing myself back together after growing up in an alcoholic family system and spending my adult years inside a religious cult. Healing self-doubt was a HUGE part of my personal recovery.
During the Pandemic old wounds resurfaced, and I discovered the profound healing power of body-based, somatic equine therapy (that’s me during my retreat, right there!). I believe in wholeness, not perfection. I teach that wounds aren’t flaws—they’re invitations for further growth & healing. I’m deeply attuned to emotional nuance and honor both personal autonomy and collective healing. I strive to be professional, and also full of soul and humanity.
My Unique Blend
I blend decades of clinical expertise (MFT, somatic work, trauma therapy) with a soulful, intuitive approach to healing. I’m not afraid to challenge conventional models when they fall short—especially in areas like childhood trauma, religious deconstruction, and identity reconstruction. Healing is both a science and art, and I hold space for the messiness of being human.
Leverage my decades of clinical experience with the wisdom of spiritual traditions. I bring a grounded, accessible energy to complex topics and offer practical, transformative guidance to others, I focus on social justice, empathy, and a desire for harmony to bridge the gap from the mystical to the practical.
My Philosophy
I believe healing isn’t about becoming the “best version of yourself” but embracing your authentic, messy self, imperfections and all. “My Mess is My Message,” is a motto reflecting the belief that vulnerability is the bridge to deeper connection. Healing is a lifelong process, and I work to nurture harmony, wholeness, and growth in my clients’ lives, and in my own as well!
What You Can Expect
I move fluidly between worlds – clinical and spiritual, rational and intuitive. Whether it’s using a tarot spread to explore archetypes, or a trauma-processing visualization, my approach is anchored, nurturing, and inviting. I trust my inner knowing, and I’ll help you rediscover yours. Whether we’re exploring mystical practices of Human Design or Energy Healing, or engaging in deep somatic practices, or even the standard cognitive restructuring work – my goal is to foster a safe, inclusive space for exploration, self-awareness, and personal autonomy. Together, we’ll unlayer challenges, build self-trust, and reconnect with your embodied experience.
I’m dedicated to providing clear and creative healing resources, and I’m constantly providing offerings—courses, workbooks, rituals, memberships, card decks, retreats, and more. Each product is deeply intentional, balancing evidence-based practices (like DBT, CBT, narrative therapy) with spiritual and energetic tools (like tarot, chakra work, and sound healing). It matters to me that my work resonates on both an emotional and energetic level. I’m deeply attuned to justice, fairness, and compassion, using these values to create meaningful connections and resources. My healing energy creates the foundation for a journey where you feel seen, understood, and inspired to step into your power.
Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
Outside of Work
When I’m not in sessions, at day-long intensives, or hosting personalized retreats, I deeply enjoy time with my four adult kids and their partners, visiting my step-kids, and connectin with the grandkids!
I enjoy watercolor painting, making photobooks, riding on the back of my husband’s motorcycle, and recently learned how to crochet! I really enjoy being at the beach or poolside with family as water is my familiar element for spiritual connection and power. My deepest joy comes from my relationships – all of them!

Healing is my jam, including inner disconnection, indecision, depression/anxiety, inner child wounds of trauma/religious trauma, self-doubt/insecurity, attachment fears of rejection and abandonment, and emotional neglect – just to name a few!
I’m not a low-cost provider and my soul-centered coaching isn’t a covered benefit through insurance, but if you work with me you’ll receive individual sessions (50-90 minutes) learning how to integrate powerful spiritual and evidence-based practices.
I have decades of experience blending various modalities, and one of my gifts as a Libra is working in harmonious collaborate to achieve soul-self harmony and balance. My session fee is $175-$250/session, depending on the length.
Modalities & Skills used in 1:1 Sessions and Coaching Memberships
DBT/CBT – I’m intensively trained using these evidence-based behavioral frameworks. CBT explores the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions while DBT adds to that a skills-acquisition approach using 5 practical modules.
EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitizaiton Reprocessing therapy is a body-based, trauma resolution treatment based on activating both hemispheres of the brain or “bilateral stimulation” (BLS). BLS has been demonstrated to assist in reducing “big” emotional disturbance in assocation with traumatic events.
Somatic or Body-based Tools – blending somatic or body-based tools, concepts, and techniques like Somatic Tracking, Pendulating, Breathwork and gentle movement.
Spiritual, Nature-based Wisdom – pulling from non-religious, ancient self-reflective practices, we’ll bridge from mystical to pratical for healing of the body, mind, heart, and spirit. This includes Crystal work & Ritual building, Tarot/Oracle use of imagery for self-reflection and insight, Energy Healing through sound/frequency and chakra work, Human Design and Astrology resources, etc.

Mentoring Membership
I’m a teacher at heart, passionate about supporting other clinicians and helping professionals through mentorship and training. I design resources that make complex ideas digestible without dumbing them down. I model self-compassion, boundary-setting, and inner congruence—especially for other therapists navigating burnout or transformation. I’m honored to “pay it forward” and share the knowledge, guidance, support, and wisdom taught to me.

This membership provides 2x/month emails delivering ready-made client resources for your sessions, along with a monthly Mentoring Call for professional connection, support, and improvement.

What They Say
Shannan is a really unique coach in that she’s also a therapist of 30 years. She brings such in-depth insight, guidance and support – it’s amazing! I didn’t think I could really sustain healing until I worked with her – don’t wait a minute longer!
My only regret is that I didn’t find this type of a healing process when I was younger and raising my children. I know healing is always possible, and I’m grateful I’ve learned these steps so I can share them with my grown children. Such a game-changer!
My healing happens at moments I least expect, and this type of a process helped me recognize those moments more clearly and establish a sustainable healing LIFESTYLE – she’s not wrong when she talks about how different that is than just going to therapy to learn isolated skills. Such a whole-person approach – I LOVE IT!
