What is NeuroEmotional Coaching?

NeuroEmotional Coaching is a nervous system-based approach to emotional healing and clarity, developed by The Center for Emotional Education. It’s designed to help you notice how you’re relating to a particular challenge, feel what’s coming up around it, and process those emotions in a safe, supported way – so you can then reassess the issue from your executive brain: the calm, clear part of you that responds with wisdom and choice.

The goal is to help you access that state more often, so you can move through life with more intention, clarity, and brain chemistry on your side.

What to Expect from a Session

This is not surface work and it’s not about fixing.
It’s about meeting yourself in a new way.

My sessions are a space to unravel what’s holding you back – gently, bravely, and without bypassing the truth of your experience. Together, we explore the patterns stored in your nervous system, the emotional loops keeping you stuck, and the stories that have quietly shaped how you move through the world.

This isn’t therapy or mindset coaching.
It’s nervous system-based transformation.

Each session is like a pause from the noise. A reset for your system.
We begin by grounding. We check in with your emotional, mental, and physical state, anchoring you back into presence.

From there, we follow the thread of whatever’s alive in you.
Whether it’s a specific challenge or a vague sense of unease, I hold space for the truth beneath the words. We listen to your body. We track the signals of your nervous system. And slowly, we begin to unwind what no longer serves you.

I don’t give you answers. I help you find your own, rooted in the wisdom already within you.

The Power of Safety

This work only goes as deep as the nervous system allows. That’s why safety is everything. In our space together, all emotions are welcome: fear, guilt, anger, sadness. Nothing is too much.

When your body feels safe enough to feel fully, that’s when the real work begins. We explore where these feelings live in your system, how long they’ve been there, and what they’re asking of you.

This isn’t about forcing a breakthrough.
It’s about creating the conditions for one to arise naturally.

Rewriting Patterns & Reclaiming Choice

We bring awareness to the unconscious patterns that have shaped your life. The “shoulds,” the survival strategies, the outdated stories. We trace them to their roots, create space to choose differently, and integrate what’s been learned, so those old patterns no longer run the show.

Emotional Sovereignty & Decision Making Clarity

I work with creatives, founders, and leaders who don’t need more information – they need access to themselves. To their clarity. To their inner compass.

You’ll learn to recognise when you’re operating from stress or survival, and how to shift into a state where emotional intelligence, creativity, and discernment are available to you.

The result? You make decisions from alignment, not fear.
You respond rather than react.
You trust yourself again.

A Different Kind of Coaching

My approach is gentle but direct.
We go at your pace, but we go deep.

This work will challenge you. It will also honour you. I’m not here to offer quick wins. I’m here to hold space for the transformation that sticks. The kind that rewires your patterns and restores your connection to your power.

After a Session

You may leave feeling clear, energised, and expanded.
You may also leave feeling reflective, raw, or tender. Both are valid.

Regardless of how it lands, you’ll walk away with greater self-awareness, language for your inner experience, and the ability to make decisions from a calm, grounded place.

This is where the noise quiets.
This is where the real you speaks.
And this is where transformation begins.

Feedback From Some of the Lovely People I’ve Worked With:

“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 CourtenayBusiness Owner & Mother

“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.”

Donné PutterArchitect & Mother

“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.”

Anna WolfSinger & Songwriter

“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.”

Melanie DijkhuizenPlant Medicine Facilitator & Mother

“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.”

Caron GiePostpartum Caregiver & Mother

“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.”

Taryn du PlessisLifeLine Counsellor

“This coaching was a leap into the unknown, but it was truly worth it. Exploring my life in survival mode, understanding my emotions and navigating brain states has been eye-opening. 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.”

Benjamin KhanBusiness Owner

“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.”

Lindsay BurchBusiness Owner & Father

“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 KaplanEntrepreneur

“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.”

Chantal MorganRelationship Coach

“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.”
