MEET THE FOUNDER

SHANNON SOIGNIER

Shannon Soignier helps people who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, inflamed, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with their bodies through nervous system regulation, breath retraining, somatic practices, and energy medicine. Her work gently supports moving out of chronic stress patterns and into greater calm, resilience, vitality, and connection with yourself.

Her path into this work began through her own healing journey. After years of experiencing complex autoimmune and nervous system-related symptoms, Shannon began exploring meditation, energy medicine, and mind-body practices in search of deeper healing. In 2011, she began studying meditation and energy medicine and later became a certified meditation instructor and Eden Energy Medicine Clinical Practitioner. While these approaches brought meaningful support, she continued searching for answers that addressed the deeper patterns underlying chronic stress and dysregulation.

In 2021, Shannon participated in a brain work program that dramatically reduced many of her long-standing symptoms and shifted the trajectory of her healing journey. Through that experience, she began to recognize how deeply unresolved stress, trauma patterns, and nervous system dysregulation can influence physical health and overall well-being.

This realization led her more deeply into the study of breathwork, nervous system regulation, and somatics. In 2023, she completed training in Buteyko Breathing and later completed additional certifications in Oxygen Advantage and Psychophysiological Breath Training. Having personally experienced how many breathing techniques can unintentionally increase stress and dysregulation, Shannon found the Buteyko Breathing Method to be one of the most gentle and supportive tools for restoring nervous system balance and creating a greater sense of internal safety.

In 2025, Shannon completed certifications as a Mind-Body Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Somatics Practitioner, and Internal Family Systems Practitioner. These trainings helped her integrate the clinical, emotional, energetic, and somatic approaches that now form the foundation of her work.

With a deeply nurturing and integrative approach, Shannon helps clients reconnect with their bodies and breath, regulate their nervous systems, and restore a greater sense of safety, resilience, and vitality from within. Drawing from her background as a registered nurse, Eden Energy Medicine practitioner, mind-body coach, meditation instructor, Reiki practitioner, and certified Buteyko Breathing instructor, she blends science-informed care with gentle somatic and energetic practices that support the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and energy.

Shannon specializes in supporting women who feel depleted, dysregulated, disconnected from themselves, or burdened by years of chronic stress, high-achieving patterns, inflammation, and autoimmune challenges. Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, breath retraining, energy balancing, somatic awareness, and emotional attunement to help clients move out of survival mode and into greater calm, connection, and healing capacity.

Through compassionate coaching and personalized support, Shannon creates a safe and supportive space where clients can slow down, feel heard, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and begin building a more sustainable relationship with their health and well-being. Her approach is gentle, grounding, and deeply human—offering not just techniques, but a felt experience of support, co-regulation, and reconnection.
