What is NeuroEmotional Coaching?
It’s the work that helps you show up – as a parent, a leader, a partner, a creative – from clarity, instead of overwhelm.
Rooted in the methodology taught by The Center for Emotional Education, NeuroEmotional Coaching is a nervous system-based approach that brings emotional clarity and confident decision making into your everyday life. It helps you recognise the unconscious dynamics running the show beneath the surface – the ones you didn’t even realise were steering you. It gives you access to a superpower you didn’t know you needed.
Because so often, what feels like self-doubt, burnout or overthinking…
is actually your nervous system doing what it’s wired to do: protect you.
This work teaches you how to speak the language of your nervous system in real time – so instead of reacting from overwhelm or outdated programming, you’re able to pause, tune in, and respond from a place of grounded wisdom.
What to expect in a session
Each session is a pause from the noise.
A space to slow down, feel what’s present, and process it – without rushing to fix or reframe.
We begin by checking in with your physical and emotional state, then follow whatever’s most alive. Sometimes that’s a specific challenge. Other times it’s a feeling that’s hard to name.
You don’t need to prepare. You just need to show up as you are.
From there, we track the signals of your nervous system and gently explore what they’re pointing to – emotional loops, old stories, survival strategies you didn’t even know were running the show.
I don’t hand you answers. I ask questions that help you find them.
This is different to therapy or mindset work
It’s not about analysing your past, or overriding your experience with positive thinking.
It’s about tuning in.
To the emotion beneath the story.
To the pattern beneath the reaction.
To the truth your body has been holding all along.
And from there – reclaiming the ability to choose differently.
The power of safety
Real transformation only happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to go there. That’s why emotional safety isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the foundation.
In our space together, all of you is welcome – even the messy, contradictory, or uncomfortable parts. Especially those.
After a session
You might feel clear, energised, and lit up.
You might feel tender, raw, or reflective.
Both are valid.
What you will leave with is greater self-awareness, a clearer sense of what’s been driving your experience, and more access to that grounded, emotionally intelligent part of you that knows what to do next.
This is the shift from overwhelm to presence.
From overthinking to a calm and clear mind.
From surviving to living in alignment.
This is nervous system mastery – and it changes everything.
What shifts over six weeks
NeuroEmotional coaching helps you rewire how you think, feel, and respond.
Across six weeks, you’ll learn how to recognise your brain states in real time, interrupt old emotional patterns, and shift into the part of you wired for clarity, creativity, and choice.
It’s deep, practical nervous system work designed to build emotional sovereignty, not just in session, but in your everyday life.
You’ll walk away with:
- A clearer understanding of how your nervous system shapes your reactions, relationships, and decision making.
- Tools to regulate yourself in the moment, no matter what life throws your way.
- The ability to lead, parent, and relate from inner steadiness, not emotional reactivity.
- Language to name and work with what you’re feeling, without getting overwhelmed by it.
- And most of all: a felt sense of agency – that you can trust yourself again.
The ripple effect? It changes how you communicate, how you work, how you show up – not just for yourself, but for everyone and everything around you.
Instead of managing the symptoms, we shift the systems beneath them, so that the symptoms naturally fall away.

These teachings have seamlessly tied into all categories of my life where my brain and emotions are constantly challenged, what you’ve taught me has guided me immensely.”

“Shannon has an uncanny ability to ask the kind of questions that can help one to see things in a completely different way, turning habitual thinking patterns inside out. She helped me to reveal what was driving my decision making processes, empowering me to know when I am working from a place of fear or insecurity, helping me to know how to reconnect to my purpose.”

“Shannon gave me invaluable insights and practical tools to navigate my situation with clarity and resilience. Instead of telling me what to do, she helped me become more aware of my thought processes and emotions, and equipped me with the techniques I needed to take control of my emotional responses to my triggers in everyday life.”

“If you’re wanting to do some self-work that cuts right through the clutter and connects you more deeply with yourself, this is it. I’ve built resilience, I can self-assess my emotional state, ask for space, protect my boundaries, and untangle mixed emotions. Most fulfilling of all, I’ve learned to optimise and extend my time in executive brain state. I loved popping out the other side of our calls with fresh clarity and an inner sense of direction that grew stronger each week.”
Holly Jade Courtenay

“I find myself being so aware of the different brain states I’m moving through after a session with Shannon. This work is highly undervalued. Having the ability to unpack my own emotions has been interesting – instead of constantly judging myself, I find that I’m a lot more accepting with where I’m at, and that’s allowed me to carve a clear path moving forward.”
Joel Kaplan

“I used to be hard on myself for being reactive, but realising I was in an emotional brain state without access to executive function gave me peace of mind. I was truly impressed by the depth we reached in such a short amount of time, and the insights were helpful. Having Shannon guide my thoughts provided clarity and perspective that I simply couldn’t access by myself.”

“Before starting, I had an amazing reference, so I knew this work would be powerful. I’ve learned to fully feel my emotions without resistance and simply let them be, which has made a huge difference in how I navigate life. It’s also helped me support my kids better, giving them the space to understand and process their own feelings. I would absolutely recommend Shannon’s coaching.”

“Shannon was and is the most professional and understanding person I’ve had the privilege of allowing into my craziness, I came to her for help in a lost haze… now I’m no longer lost but fundamentally equipped to navigate the daily mists of society and being human. Although not fully alive as yet, I’ve been welcomed into the embrace of real hope. Thank you so very much.”

“Shannon’s method of reflecting my emotions through different brain states and deeply listening resonated with me. I feel it’s incredibly relatable and easy enough to really integrate into one’s life. I definitely feel more of a spaciousness between myself and my triggers, so I’m more able to respond to my children (and to life!) in the way that I want to.”

“Shannon skilfully guided me to identify the patterns in my thinking that kept me in a state of fear and uncertainty, causing me to feel paralysed. It’s been truly life-changing for me and I now use these tools daily. Through her techniques, I’ve gained clarity and learned to reconnect with my body and emotions, finding a sense of security during moments of feeling stuck.”

“Working with Shannon has been a game-changer for me. Her sessions are refreshingly practical and don’t leave you with a to-do list. Instead, you get guidance that bring a sense of calm and a profound feeling of not being alone on your journey. I can confidently say that integrating neuroemotional aspects into my daily life has been an amazing investment.”

“I feel like a different person. In the past I would suppress everything and not deal with it. That lasted 40 odd years, but now that I’ve seen the alternative, I realise that it’s so much healthier for your mental health to actually talk, deal with emotions, and process stuff. It’s been amazing.”
