Beyond Birth Trauma with Shannon O'Flaherty: From Burden to Brilliance
2nd Tuesdays 10am PT / 1pm ET

Are you struggling with unresolved emotions or recurring patterns? Get ready to break free on Beyond Birth Trauma-From Burden to Brilliance, where we uncover the powerful truth about your beginnings and how they’ve shaped your entire life!

This isn’t just about understanding your past—it’s about reclaiming your future. We’ll connect the dots between your ancestors, your birth, and the patterns that keep you stuck, guiding you to a place of profound healing and unstoppable brilliance. We will examine and help you heal your cellular imprint from birth of how you perceive and respond to the world and the challenges that creates in your day to day life. On Beyond Birth Trauma, we are not just exploring your birth-we are dismantling the chains of generational trauma. We are diving into the core of who you are, peeling back layers of inherited beliefs and behaviors that have held you back for far too long.

Shannon's online 8 week course call From Burden to Brilliance is a profound exploration of how our birth experiences can deeply influence various aspects of our lives. Shannon emphasizes that the way we were born, and the environment we were born into, can affect everything from our emotional health and stress management to our physical coordination and mental clarity. She delves into the idea that even if you had a "normal" birth, factors such as your ancestor's imprint, and your mother's emotional state before, during, and after pregnancy, familial stress, or complications during pregnancy can have long-lasting effects on your development.

Shannon also shares her personal story of feeling trapped and out of control throughout her life, which she traced back to her traumatic birth experience. Her mother had started to miscarry, likely losing a twin, leaving Shannon trapped in utero, and later during birth held in by a panicked nurse -a situation that significantly shaped her emotional and psychological patterns. Understanding this allowed Shannon to heal parts of herself and her relationship with her mother, highlighting the importance of uncovering and addressing these early influences.

Shannon invites listeners to explore their own birth experiences and consider how they might be affecting their current life patterns. She offers her services to help people understand and heal from these deep-seated issues, emphasizing the importance of energy flow in the body to maximize the benefits of any healing work. Her approach combines ancestral healing, reprogramming the neural pathways in your brain, and energy work to help individuals rebalance and break free from limiting beliefs and repetitive patterns.

The message is clear: by understanding the origins of our challenges, we can begin to heal and live more balanced, fulfilling lives. Shannon encourages anyone struggling with unresolved emotions or recurring patterns to reach out for a conversation and start their journey toward self-discovery and healing.

About ~

Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in a beautiful suburb of Manhatten, I then had two of my formative years in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This foreign experience dramatically impacted on who I would become as an adult. I married a beautiful British man and relocated to the UK when I was 26. Together we birthed two gorgeous sons who are now awesome men.

After experiencing Dark Night of the Soul when I was 37, I went back to school to study Clinical Transactional Analysis. On the first day they asked us to write down what our mothers felt when they were pregnant with us. My mom happened to be visiting me at the time so when I went home I asked her how she had felt when she was pregnant with me. She said exactly what I had written on my piece of paper! It was then that I heard the second part of my birth story and it answered so many unasked questions in my life and greatly explained much of my relationship with my mother.

Over the following years I went on to study Organisational Transactional Analysis, (which led to a career in corporate training), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, Psychic Development and Transpersonal Psychology. I attended many self-development retreats and workshops. Finally I landed with The Four Winds studying shamanic energy medicine with Dr. Alberto Villoldo. With his group I travelled back to South America for the first time since I had left when I was 11. There I became aware of Theta Healing and studied with Vianna Stibal to become one of the first 4 teachers in the UK. I also continued my shamanic studies with Jose Luis Herrera and other well known shamans in Peru.

My marriage ended and I moved to Spain, started my healing practice and regained my use of the Spanish language. That led me to taking small groups to Peru on spiritual healing trips. After two years in Spain I moved back into our marital home so my ex and I could raise our sons together. This is when we really did the deep personal work together to heal.  Although we are no longer married, we remain each other's confidante and are a very close and united family.

I am living proof that if you follow your gut instincts and go within to face your demons and do the work necessary to heal, it can radically change your life and the lives of your loved ones. I couldn't imagine how important that original birth question was at the time! Over the years working with over a thousand clients and the stories I've heard has demonstrated to me the cellular imprints and repetitive patterns from child birth that keep people stuck for a life time!

Whether your own birth was traumatic, or birthing your child was challenging, these experiences go beyond this lifetime often with patterns carrying down from our ancestors.
