It is estimated that approximately 12% of the human brain is used consciously, while the rest operates automatically, or outside of our conscious awareness. Shannon uses techniques that are designed to discover and process information from the subconscious mind, so that you can have more clarity about the thoughts and feelings you experience and make choices that will help you live the life you want. Shannon uses a variety of techniques including:

- Integrative Health: Addressing imbalances that affect the whole person - body and mind. Areas assessed include nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle habits.  

- Hypnosis: A guided relaxation that induces a natural state of consciousness in which a person is neither awake nor asleep and the brain is receptive to positive suggestions.

- Creative Expression: Writing, drawing, sculpting, and music are among the many tools for accessing creativity.

- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): A set of skills including mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A technique that uses bi-lateral stimulation to process information to resolve unprocessed memories.

- Temperament Testing: This measures the aspect of personality that we are born with indicating what our natural strengths and weaknesses are.

- Gottman Couples Therapy: An evidenced-based approach developed with over 35 years of research.
