Shannon has walked the path of healing and self-discovery since 2006.  The rhythms of breath and movement became her compass, guiding her deeper into service as a teacher in 2017. 

 

Yet, it was not until 2022, under the wise tutelage of Francisco Morales, that her hands found their truest expression in Thai Bodywork ~ a practice where healing flows not from the self, but through it. In surrendering to this ancient art, she aligned with the deeper current of her dharma: to bring relief, to create space, to offer presence.

​

And still, the path unfolds.

​

In the Sacred Valley of Peru, embraced by mountains that whisper the wisdom of the ages, she encountered Synergy Rising.  Here, inspiration ignited like the first light of dawn.  More than an initiative, Synergy Rising is a movement ~ a global endeavor, an offering to the world.  A sanctuary where children may step into strength, into peace, into the wholeness of their being through martial arts, yoga, dance, and wellness.

​

Shannon’s connection to this cause runs deep.

​

It is said in the Andes, Ayni governs all things.  A sacred reciprocity: Hoy para ti, mañana para mí ~ today for you, tomorrow for me. To give is to receive. To serve is to be nourished. And so, Shannon walks this principle forward, taking action with steady hands and an open heart.

​

She begins simply: one scarf, one blanket, one gesture of support.  Each stitch carries the intention of a future where children do not merely endure but thrive.  This is the first step. 

 

In 2027, she will return ~ to teach, to share, to weave her practice into the very fabric of the Sacred Valley.

​

Why give?

 

Because to lift another is to lift oneself.  Because healing is not meant to be hoarded but shared. Because, in truth, we rise only together.

​

Let us walk this path, one step, one offering, one act of generosity at a time.
