I'm Shannon — a yoga instructor, breathwork facilitator, and somatic coach living in the high desert of New Mexico with my husband Joel and our dog Snoopy.

I came to this work through my own unraveling. Narcissistic abuse. Domestic violence. Chronic illness. Addiction. Anxiety and trauma that lived in my body long after the circumstances changed. Years of people-pleasing, of shrinking, of living from fear rather than worthiness.

Then a hospitalization stopped me completely. And in the stopping, something opened. Yoga brought me back into my body. Yoga nidra taught me how to rest — really rest — for the first time in my life. And a women's empowerment coach looked me in the eye and reminded me of the badass I had always been underneath all of it.

I found breathwork. I found somatic work. I stopped performing my life and started actually living it. I found stillness. Contentment. A quiet I had never known before.

That's what I want for you.

I guide clients through yoga, yoga nidra, breathwork, and somatic coaching — not to fix what's broken, but to remember what was never lost. You are not too much. You are not too far gone. There is a way back to yourself, and I know it because I've walked it.

This fall, that work is expanding: I'm opening Melt ABQ, a wellness and creative studio in the NE Heights of Albuquerque, coming Fall 2026.
