Shannon is an animist and ritualist who tends the thresholds where dreams speak, the dead draw near, and the living remember their place within the great weave of relations. Her work unfolds at the meeting ground of dream midwifery, psychopomp practice, ancestral reverence, and oracular mediumship. Through heart-centered ritual and careful listening, she helps restore balance and personal sovereignty while deepening the living threads of connection between people, land, and lineage. She guides others into clarity and belonging by walking with them through the liminal landscapes where the visible and invisible meet.

For more than thirty years, she has devoted her life to companionship in the healing of trauma and cultural wounding carried by both the living and the dead. Her path joins formal training and sacred vocation. She holds a Master’s degree in Professional Leadership and Counseling with focus in Jungian and Gestalt modalities and is the founder of Red Earth Healing, a home for earth-rooted ritual and relational repair.

Across a decade in senior teaching and ritual leadership within a large ancestral healing training network, she trained practitioners and guided intensive lineage healing programs. Over many years of practice she has held thousands of sessions, convened long-standing monthly circles, and led numerous ancestral lineage intensives. Her present offerings grow from this deep well of experience while reflecting an independent and evolving devotion to ancestral veneration and intergenerational healing.

She is a student of Yoruba culture and an initiate of Ọbàtálá and Ọ̀ṣun in the lineage of Olúwo Fálolú Adésànyà Awoyadé of Òdè Rẹ́mọ, and has made pilgrimage to sit with elders in West Africa. She is also a devotee of Nepali shamanic practice under the guidance of Bhola Nath Banstola, alongside study within other indigenous and ancestral paths connected to her bloodlines.

Her people of blood and bone come from the British Isles, France, West Africa, and the Cherokee and Kaskaskia/Illini nations. She holds ritual space with steadiness and warmth, inviting trust, presence, and shared humanity, rooted in ancient ways of service to Earth and community.

She dreams and practices joy each day in Washington State on the historic lands of the Skokomish people.
