Seeking deeper love,
& liberating inner peace?
Dear nature lover,
Is there a peace somewhere out there that you crave to find inside?
Are you stymied by conflict in your work or family relationships?
Maybe it’s daily arguments in your mind, or maybe it comes out in reactivity.
Perhaps beneath it all is existential woe, because you seek a more meaningful purpose.
If you struggle with angst, anger, or anxiety, I get you.
Do you sense you might break down or blow up,
look out the window & yearn to escape,
or see exasperation in the mirror, but want to shine?
If you’re self-aware and analyzing how to liberate your heart,
I help passionate people align their inner truth with how they show up in community.
You can generate authentic, meaningful connections that nourish your soul.
Let's awaken further into mindful and joyful aliveness!
Indoors or outdoors,
I can help you get grounded
and clear.
I often help people who’ve tried talk therapy and still feel stressed.
We go deeper— with attentive, juicy transformation
aligned with your dreams and values.
We start where you are & go to the roots.
It can include: Transforming fight/flight patterns from childhood trauma, or from living in an oppressive world, by retuning the nervous system. Learning to relate with your feelings (instead of being dominated). Expressing thoughts from a stable core and values in your heart. Examining childhood conditioning, and reconditioning stagnant neural pathways. Working with grief. Actively listening for truths waiting in the wings (through nature therapy, emotional counseling, and/or sacred listening processes that explore the liminal. Read more on my Service pages). Cultivating your chosen way of seeing & being in the world. Growing self-love and self-trust so your inner compassion, not your inner critic, becomes your internal coach. Bringing this true self into relationships that matter and thrive.
If you like embodied meditative work, that has room for bawling or cussing, and finds wisdom from deep within,
I’m here for you.
What would your best life be?

Hi, I'm Shannon Gorres
I'm deeply compassionate, wild, and devoted.
I'd love to support you!
I know how hard life is at times. But it doesn’t have to crush us. For decades I worked to understand my intense emotions, integrate challenging experiences, and wade through transitions (including a narcissistic ex, a postpartum nightmare, and my mother's death).
All the while I knew there was something sacred about my life path. That didn’t stop life from throwing me curve balls (gender shifts, supporting hundreds of children in crisis). As my inner compass got stronger, I gained skill after skill in supporting myself and others. Two graduate degrees and several certifications later, I am here to help you!
