Shanna is a certified trauma-informed somatic coach, somatic bodyworker, astrologer, grief educator, regenerative farmer, and advocate for holistic well-being.

Her work lives at the intersection of the body, grief, nervous system care, astrology, and our relationship to the natural world. She supports people navigating loss, transition, identity, and change through body-based practices, compassionate inner inquiry, and a deep trust in the body’s intelligence.

At the heart of Shanna’s work is a curiosity about the patterns we carry—how our histories, relationships, and adaptations shape not only the way we think and feel, but the way we physically organize ourselves in the world. She offers somatic coaching and hands-on bodywork as both distinct practices and integrated experiences, allowing clients to meet the work in the way that best supports them.

Through coaching, she works with the emotional, relational, and subconscious patterns shaping our inner lives. Through hands-on bodywork, she works with the physical expressions of those patterns—the places we brace, protect, collapse, or armor in response to what we have lived through. When integrated, these practices create space to work with both the conscious and embodied layers of our experience. Rather than seeing our patterns as something to fix, Shanna’s work honors them as intelligent adaptations while supporting greater choice, capacity, and possibility in how we inhabit our bodies and our lives.

After losing her father suddenly at sixteen, Shanna’s lived experience with grief deeply informs her work. She went on to study with David Kessler and become a Certified Grief Educator, deepening her understanding of grief as an experience that touches the body, nervous system, relationships, identity, and our sense of belonging.

Her studies span trauma-informed coaching, somatics, embodiment, grief, and astrology. Her trauma-informed coaching education has included studying with Christine Hassler, Alexi Panos, Preston Smiles, and Stefanos Sifandos. alongside somatic and embodiment studies with Madeline Wade. Her astrological training and mentorship have included Renee Sills, Rosie Finn, Debra Silverman, and Rakai’el Webb. She is currently immersed in a yearlong mentorship with Renee Sills, continuing to deepen her relationship with astrology as an embodied, relational, and liberatory practice.

Alongside her private practice, Shanna works as a regenerative farmer, grounding her work in the understanding that our well-being cannot be separated from relationship—to our bodies, our communities, the earth, and the ecosystems we belong to.

Through 1:1 somatic coaching, hands-on bodywork, integrated coaching + bodywork sessions, astrology readings, talks, classes, and workshops, Shanna creates spaces to slow down, listen inward, and meet what is present with greater compassion and curiosity—tending to the protective armor that helped us become who we needed to be while creating more space for the authentic shape of who we are becoming.
