Meet your Teacher
Shannon Moyer-Szemenyei, a Trauma and Mental Health Counsellor from London, Ontario, is a leader, wife, mom, friend, poet, and mentor who firmly believes in showing up in one's humanness, inclusive of embracing neurodiversity. She is a PTSD survivor, a human living with Inattentive ADHD and Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and a parent to an autistic kiddo with a similar ADHD brain as hers! Upon overcoming PTSD, Shannon obtained additional certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy, Trauma Support, Child and Adolescent Counselling and has most recently obtained her Certification in ADHD Management. Shannon has a strong desire to help others process their lived experiences through counselling, art and journalling, while normalizing their thoughts and feelings, validating their experiences as real, and encouraging others to work with their brains rather than force their brains into spaces they simply weren’t designed for. As a human, Shannon loves documenting the stories of her life on her skin by way of tattoos, snuggles on the couch with her rescue pup, Berney, cheering on her eldest in ski racing and time at the barn with her youngest son and his therapy horse. She loves a leaderboard challenge and bringing the energy of a workout throughout her day, and decompressing on a sushi date night in with her husband, Colin.
