About me

I help women break the patterns and habits holding them back, build self-trust and create the life they truly want.

Through 1:1 coaching, we work together to understand what's keeping you stuck and take the necessary steps towards creating the life you want.

Ask yourself:

Do you want more from life but feel as if you're stuck repeating the same patterns?

Do you self-sabotage or struggle to trust your own judgement?

Do you people-please, put other people's needs, expectations or opinions ahead of your own?

Do you overthink, seek certainty or worry about getting things wrong?

Are you ready to stop playing small, step outside your comfort zone and start creating a life that feels like yours?

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I work with women who typically:

  • Feel like they self-sabotage their lives, repeating patterns, even when they understand what needs to change.
  • Are frustrated that their life (relationships, career or lifestyle) doesn't reflect what they truly want.
  • Seek reassurance, certainty or approval from others.
  • Are uncertain about themselves and their life decisions.
  • Have self-doubt and worry about failure, rejection or judgement.
  • Feel caught between the life they have and the life they want.
  • Want to build healthier relationships, pursue new opportunities and create a life that feels true to who they want to be.

My Approach:

My approach combines subconscious mindset and belief work, attachment-focused coaching, inner-child exploration, nervous-system regulation practices, and practical tools for creating the life you truly want. 

Rather than focusing only on the challenges you're experiencing, we'll also look at the person you want to become and the life you want to create.

We'll explore the beliefs, patterns, habits, the way you interpret experiences and habitual responses that may be shaping how you see yourself, relate to others and approach opportunities. We'll look at what happens when you feel uncertain or uncomfortable (triggers), how they show up in the mind and body and how those moments influence the decisions you make.

From there, we'll create new ways of responding and making choices that are in alignment with and reflect who you want to be.

My approach is compassionate, but practical. Nothing heals in judgement. Therefore, this isn't about judging yourself for the patterns you've developed unconsciously or expecting yourself to change overnight. It's about understanding where you are now and what's blocking you so you can decide your next chapter. 

The goal isn't to never feel afraid, uncertain or emotionally triggered again. It's to build the self-trust and tools to navigate patterns, habits and feelings without letting them dictate your life.

In practice, this looks like: 

  • Communicating your needs more honestly.
  • Setting healthy boundaries and not being scared of the outcome.
  • Making a decision without needing everyone's approval.
  • Pursuing opportunities that excite you, even when they feel scary.
  • Choosing a relationship that genuinely aligns with you, your values and what you want.
  • Building the life you want.

How My Coaching Works:

We'll start by understanding where you are now, what you want to change and the patterns you would like to work on. From there, we'll create a practical coaching plan based around your goals.

Using Neuro Linguistic Programming, we will explore the stories and beliefs you hold about yourself, others and your experiences. This involves understanding what unconscious thoughts, beliefs, language, and patterns are running your life.

Timeline Therapy is used to explore how significant past experiences shape the beliefs, emotional responses, habits and patterns running the show today. Once we have a clear picture, we can start to develop a different perspective and reduce the influence they have on your present choices.

Hypnosis, somatic practices and inner child work, where appropriate, will be used to calm the nervous system, learn to self- soothe, regulate and re-parent yourself, as well as develop and embed new ways of responding to the world and yourself.

Throughout the process, we'll connect what we learn to your everyday life. Understanding a pattern is only part of the process. Real change begins when you start responding differently in the moments that matter.

Once you've developed a stronger foundation of self-awareness and self-trust, we can focus on creating the relationships, opportunities and life you truly want.

My Story:

For years, I lost myself. I walked around incomplete, looking for something or someone to fill the void. 

To fill that void, I sought out distractions and what I thought was love, and I abandoned myself along the way. Through deep work, I discovered I was enduring the repercussions of experiences from my childhood that I hadn't fully understood, and it was playing out in real time throughout my life. My relationships, work and other core areas of my life suffered. As a result, I weathered heartbreak, loss and frustration, not knowing what I was doing wrong or why the patterns kept repeating themselves. 

Despite the experiences I'd had and the patterns I'd picked up along the way, I began to build greater security in how I relate to myself, others and the world. As I learned to trust myself more, life started to fall into place in ways I hadn't imagined. I started working for myself, relocated countries and began making choices that reflected the life I genuinely wanted.

That experience is a big part of why I do this work today. I want other women to know that the patterns holding them back don't have to define their future, and that change is possible.

If you recognise yourself in any of these challenges and feel ready to make a change, I invite you to book a complimentary discovery call.

We'll talk about where you are now, what you'd like to change and whether my coaching feels like the right fit for you.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. You just need to be open to exploring what's possible.

Testimonials:

Working with Shannon was my first experience of having a life coach, and it was one of my best decisions! From the beginning, we explored both past and present experiences to really understand what was holding me back. That foundation helped us move into setting clear, meaningful goals for the future and actually working towards them in a structured way. The difference between how I felt in my first session compared to my last was honestly incredible. My mindset became so much more positive, focused, and in control. I left each session feeling clearer and more empowered. I’d highly recommend Shannon to anyone who’s ready to move forward but isn’t quite sure how. She made the process feel natural and positive all round! - Talia

-------------------

Working with Shannon has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I came with an open mind and prepared to be led, as me in control wasn’t working. In a matter of a year, the things I was struggling with have completely been transformed, and I am now in control and thriving, working towards my dream life. I truly appreciate the work Ive done with Shannon and recommend everyone to embrace life coaching as it can change their life if willing to go the course and stay committed to making a change. I’m very grateful I was recommended her services, as I’ve grown in ways I never imagined were possible. It’s incredible to think in only a year, what has been achieved and accomplished, and i look forward to continuing to grow with Shannon as her guidance is invaluable in helping me unlock my full potential. - Daniella
