Who Am I
Hi, I’m Shawn.
Hi, I’m Shawn — hypnotherapist, intuitive coach, and the heart behind Cedar & Spirit Healing.
But before I ever guided women through transformation, I had to walk through my own.
Not the Instagram-pretty version.
The messy, exhausting, soul-shattering version.
I spent years as the woman who had it all together on the outside… the good job, the house, the vehicle, the vacations, the pay-cheque people envied — while quietly falling apart inside.
I was the chronic over-giver. The perfectionist. The woman who kept everyone else calm while ignoring the chaos inside her. The woman who could hold space for the world… but not for herself.
I smiled so no one would know I was struggling. I worked through anxiety, depression, and burnout with a fake smile because I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I tried to be “perfect,” unconsciously believing this kept me safe.
But my body was telling me the truth long before I was willing to hear it.
The moment everything changed
One morning, I drove all the way to work and realized I had no memory of getting there.
That was the moment my nervous system said no more. My mind checked out before my body did.
That was my wake-up call.
I took stress leave. I broke down. I unraveled years of survival mode. And in that unraveling, I finally heard myself.
For the first time, I wasn’t living for approval. I was living for truth.
My healing led me back to my gifts
As I rested, healed, and allowed myself to feel instead of fake it… something unexpected happened.
My intuitive senses came rushing in. I started remembering who I was before the conditioning, the pressure, the expectations, and the burnout.
I dove into intuitive development, subconscious healing, trauma-informed practices, inner child work, hypnotherapy, and energy healing. I studied why we over-give… why we abandon ourselves… why we lose our identity inside responsibility.
And I learned how to shift it for myself first.
I always say I’m a recovering perfectionist and recovering people pleaser.
Not because I’m perfectly healed, but because I now have the tools to meet myself with truth, compassion, and emotional clarity.
I don’t bypass. I don’t slap toxic positivity on real pain. I don’t pretend emotions don’t matter.
I feel them. I honour them. I let them guide me. Allowing this changed everything.
My space is for women who are ready to stop surviving and start living
At Cedar & Spirit Healing, you will never be told to “just think positive.”
You will never be shamed for your emotions.
You will never be asked to suppress your truth to make others comfortable.
This is a space for:
✨ the woman who gives everything but receives nothing
✨ the woman whose nervous system is tired of holding it all
✨ the woman who’s exhausted from being strong
✨ the woman who wants to be free, purposeful, and herself again
If you are burnt out, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or hanging onto life by a thread of “I can’t keep living like this”… I see you.
I’ve been you.
And I’m honoured to walk with you and support you.
My Mission
To help women heal from the subconscious patterns that keep them stuck…
To guide them back to emotional clarity and inner alignment…
To liberate them from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment…
So they can live a life that feels free, empowered, joyful, and deeply theirs.
This is the work I was born to do.
And if you’re here, there’s a reason.
I’d be honoured to walk the journey beside you.
Curious? Have Questions? Let’s Connect…
Part of my work is to help you become strong in knowing what’s best for YOU. Afterall, you’ve lived in your body all your life so you’re the one who knows best. If you any questions about what it would look like to work together, please, send me a DM on Instagram and let’s chat. If the thought of that feels scary – let me tell you something… I’ll never push you into something you don’t want, in fact, I celebrate you saying, ‘No’ because it means you’re listening to yourself. You’re always in charge of you in my world. 🤍🌻
“Working with Shawn has fundamentally changed my relationship with myself and with my body. I feel more connected, grounded and I understand myself better than I ever have before. I was able to release what was holding me back and I am forever grateful to her for her kindness, compassion and guidance.”

Why Cedar & Spirit Healing?
Growing up on the West Coast of Canada, I have drawn inspiration from the sacred cedar tree, a symbol of strength, wisdom, and deep inner connection. Just as the cedar’s ancient roots reach down into the earth, grounding and anchoring its majestic presence, we too can tap into our own wellspring of inner power and intuition. The cedar, revered by Indigenous cultures for its profound spiritual significance, teaches us the art of growing tall and resilient, while staying deeply connected to our roots.
Spirit is the ethereal force that guides our journey. My own path to fulfillment has been illuminated by a divine support team – angels, spirits, guardian angels, whatever you’d like to call them – who have gently guided me toward a life that truly resonates with my soul’s purpose. This celestial connection has allowed me to step into a life brimming with authenticity and joy, and it is this same divine guidance that I offer to you.
At Cedar and Spirit Healing, I blend these elements to create a sanctuary where you can embrace your own spiritual journey. Here, you will find a space where your heart can speak freely, and as you need. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey to rediscover your passions, awaken your inner strength, and empower you to live life on your own terms, radiating confidence and joy.
I’m delighted to welcome you into this sacred space, where the wisdom of the cedar and the guidance of spirit inspire us together to create the perfect healing environment for your transformation.
