ABOUT DR. Shannon Nolan-Arañez

EDUCATION & RESEARCH:

My approach to intuitive consulting is rooted in my perceptive skills, spiritual attunement my academic background so that I can support leaders to transform and heal their lives and their businesses.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Arts in postsecondary Higher Educational Leadership. My Doctorate degree was earned at San Diego State University where I wrote my dissertation on  spirituality and how it is cultivated through leadership activities such as personal self-reflection, introspection, meditation, and shared community service projects.

My research focused on ways that leadership skills cultivate one's sense of spirituality and how universities can intentionally cultivate spirituality through leadership activities so that college students feel a deeper sense of community, well-being, and “connectedness” to their fellow human beings.  Spiritual development is the notion of authoring your own life's journey through listening to and developing your intuition, irrespective of your religious beliefs.

PERSONAL:

I started exploring my faith and spirituality at an early age after experiencing significant losses and death of loved ones. This process revealed a deeper purpose and an appreciation for life. I was comforted by the belief that my relationships with my loved ones could transcend "death" and that they were protecting me from the other side. 

 My sense of spirituality helped me overcome this adversity to help my siblings and I move forward. It is also when my connection to Spirit became more intense and I began to experience physical and clairvoyant phenomena where I knew my loved ones were coming through to give me comforting messages.  Since then, I've honed my connection with Spirit through formal training at Harmony Grove Spiritualist Association to learn how to commune with guides, teachers, and loved ones so that I can bring others information of comfort and joy much like I experienced from my loved ones.

Since embracing my sense of spirituality, I have been able to achieve many of my personal goals including: losing 200 lbs., falling in love, starting a family, earning my doctorate degree, being in a meaningful career, traveling, working with UNESCO, and much more.

LEADERSHIP CAN BE LONELY:

It is my desire to help you discover more meaning in your life and to not let adversity stop you from living your life's purpose. Leadership can be a lonely journey, and I'm here to be your confidante.

I am here to offer support and clarity as we build our consulting relationship. I've witnessed many leaders struggle to find purpose and lead teams/businesses effectively because they are not in touch with their emotional intelligence, which is (to me) synonymous with spiritual awareness and intuition.

Over the course of my lifetime, I attribute my innate emotional intelligence to the hardships I've overcome. I have learned how to use my intuition and my understanding of people to achieve my goals and I am so excited about working with you to achieve your business goals.
