About Shannon

For more than 20 years, I built a career in empathetic communications across corporate, healthcare, and wellness sectors, always drawn to work rooted in connection, compassion, and meaningful impact.

Then, in midlife, my own life unraveled in ways I never imagined.

I experienced profound loss, survived domestic violence and homelessness, and navigated significant physical and mental health challenges. I know what it feels like to lose safety, stability, belonging, and hope.

But those experiences are not the whole of my story. They reshaped how I understand healing, resilience, and what it truly takes to rebuild.

I didn't pivot. I rebuilt.

Not by rushing forward, but by focusing on stability, restoring my health, and rebuilding a sense of safety from within.

Today, as a Mental Health Advocate, Peer Support Counsellor, and Certified Grief and Bereavement Counsellor, I bring together professional training, lived experience, and a trauma-informed, human-centred approach to supporting people through loss, major life transitions, and unexpected disruptions.

Drawing on CBT-informed approaches, I help people recognize and gently reframe painful thought patterns, rediscover their strengths, and move toward greater stability, clarity, and confidence as they rebuild.

I don't support people simply because I've experienced hardship. I do this work because I understand how profoundly healing it can be when someone chooses to walk beside you rather than judge you.

Alongside this work, I co-founded A Treasured Moment Events, a mother–daughter nonprofit creating moments of joy and connection for women and children living in shelters.

Through Dignified Reinvention™, I help people find a steady path forward, rooted in dignity, compassion, and sustainable change.

It's not about starting over. It's about rebuilding with dignity, from the inside out.
