Shannon is a mother to two boys, as well as a wife. She has a background in business and has been a coach, facilitator and project manager. Shannon has worked with women in the Pacific as they have begun their own businesses in the tourism industry. She has also worked with social enterprises on their strategies, processes and mindset. Shannon is a qualified Primary School teacher, however hasn't been in the classroom for a little while now!

When Shannon became a mother she really struggled with the change in role and focus, especially after believing pre-children that it would be natural and a breeze! Whilst pregnant with her 2nd son, she became quite unwell with perinatal depression and had agonising periods of loneliness, isolation and self-doubt. After her son was born, she spent time in a mother and baby unit, but nothing helped quite like getting to know the amazing community of women in Amy's programs. This struck a passion in Shannon to work to become a motherhood and mindset coach, and she has now launched her business, Motherhood Embraced.
