in the Workplace?

Hello
there!
The Wellness Perk That Sets Teams Apart:
Mindset Classes
I am Shannon Bryson, creator of Wild Breath. Let me introduce you to my area of expertise - mindset & mindfulness classes for communities.
Mindfulness classes are not just any office perk, they’re the most popular ones around. Plus, they’re budget-friendly for small teams and accessible for all team members so everyone feels engaged and included. We all know work can be stressful at times, but mindfulness practices have been proven to reduce stress-related absences and anxiety in the workplace. It’s like hitting the reset button for your mind and body, which leads to better focus, productivity, and happiness. I’d love to chat more about our classes, workshops and retreats and how they can transform your office into a vibrant hub of productivity and camaraderie - for less than the cost of a pizza party.
Thanks for your time and consideration, I’m very excited to learn more about your company and how we can boost the productivity and wellness of your team.

A little about me
I am a Certified Health Coach, Trauma Informed Breathwork Practitioner, Effortless Meditation Facilitator and Mindful Movement Instructor. I began my teaching of mindfulness practices back in 2004, with yoga. Through self exploration & transformation during my own life challenges, I made the decision in 2016 to become a Life Coach with a focus on mindfulness . I support individuals & organizations in powerfully navigating through stress, anxiety & overwhelm with clarity, confidence & inspiration. Through the power of stress management techniques, I have seen lives change.
I coach clients, privately and in group settings. I also host workshops, wellness summits & worldwide retreats.
I am passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with the world, aspiring to leave lives a little better than when I encountered them. My highest values are self-exploration, connection, team building, contribution & playfulness. All of my offerings will include these vibes. I pride myself in creating experiences where my clients know they are safe to "feel" and I encourage curiosity, playfulness, self-exploration and the building of a TRIBE.
I love the outdoors, traveling, learning new things, building relationships and searching for new possibilities of creating the most extraordinary life, for myself, my family and my community.
I have watched, first hand, how Mindfulness techniques can reduce stress and anxiety, help with clear decision making and support creativity and productivity.

Testimonials
"I opened up to my truth and regained my self-confidence more in one session with Shannon than I have in 5 years of therapy. She created a safe space and facilitated a journey for which I’ll be forever grateful. In the week since we first worked together, I have overcome major fears and already made great strides on the path back to my truest self and to creating the life I’ve dreamed of. If you do one thing for yourself this year, allow Shannon to teach you how to harness the power of your breath."
