“It is amazing what the body can do when we feel safe and can breathe.”

Client of Awareness in Motion

Are you ready to discover the possibilities of how your body can move when supported through embodied, integrated and personalized care?

When you are navigating physical, emotional, or spiritual pain, it can be overwhelming to get through your day-to-day life, let alone find the kind of care that’s right for you.

That’s why I share what you can expect in advance, so you feel comfortable before stepping foot in my office.

First, we’ll set up your free consultation.

I offer a free 20 minute consultation so we can explore if our partnership would be supportive for you. Reach out by phone or email to schedule your initial consultation today!

Next, we’ll schedule your first session.

Our first session together will take between 60 to 90 minutes. This will give us time to review your history, especially if there is a specific concern you wish to address and start with the services and practices you are interested in. Thereafter, sessions can be scheduled for 60, 90 or 120 minutes, depending on what you wish to explore during your sessions.

Lastly, we’ll decide on the frequency of your ongoing sessions.

If you are coming in with a specific concern or condition, I initially recommend 2-3 sessions within one month. We learn with repetition, so the more we experience new awareness and movement patterns and compassionate touch, the more opportunity for our body to learn new habits and patterns. We will reassess after 2-3 sessions to see if this practice feels supportive for you and how to proceed going forward.

I have many clients that I see on a regular/semi-regular basis. Knowing that you have a regular, monthly session to build a trusting relationship, and time to fully meet and care for yourself is a valuable practice to support and deepen healing, inner work, personal growth and well-being. If you are interested in primarily spiritual companionship, meeting monthly is recommended.

Here’s what to expect in your regular sessions:

  • Slow down. Meet yourself. Breathe.

    • We’ll practice and build your awareness, so you can learn to listen to what is arising in your life and in your body.

    • We’ll help you identify what needs attention and care .

    • We will also help you feel and cultivate your own inner compassion, wisdom and creativity

CREATING SPACE:

Depending on your current needs and desires, the focus of your session will be a blend of the following:

  • Embodied Awareness and Creative Movement

  • Integrative Bodywork

  • Embodied Spiritual Guidance/Deep Listening

  • Education & Home/Life Practices

BODY OF THE SESSION:

  • We’ll end with a reflection on what you are noticing?

  • What are you aware of now?

  • You’ll leave with a practice, an awareness, or an action to take with you to continue to support your health and well-being.

CLOSING THE SESSION:

  • Integration of the session, working with the new awareness and practices

  • Taking time to meet yourself with Awareness

    • Breathe

    • What am I noticing?

    • What do I need in this moment?

    • How do I want to move?

BETWEEN SESSIONS:

  • “Shannon’s practice is about embracing you as you are when you come in, listening deeply to both your words & your body’s wisdom, and supporting you in your healing journey as a guide, with you always in the “driver’s seat”. She supports you in integrating mind & body, by examining their relationship - calming the mind while calling forth the body’s wisdom.”
