"Shannon Hershman is an extraordinary therapist, practitioner and healer. She has an amazing gift of being able to integrate her Pilates and fascial stretch therapies with energetic healing on the Quantum level, thereby creating high level results for her clients beyond what is expected. I have had the privilege of mentoring Shannon and am impressed by her abilities and the positive energy she brings to her life and work."
As a long time sufferer of Fibromyalgia I began incorporating Pilates at age 50 as preventative
maintenance, which kept me out of the PT's office for several years. As a Pilates client of
Shannon's, she then introduced me to FST. It has been enormously helpful in peeling back the
layers of fibromyalgia.
I then tried a Quantum Energy Healing™ session with Shannon. QEH has helped me push
out any negative energy that isn't mine or useful, helping me to heal from the inside out. The
internal conversation has changed from, “how do I fix you?” to “how do I work with you to heal
all of me?” FST is meant to open up your body, but if your mind and soul are not, the profound
healing potential can not and will not be great...or lasting.
"Shannon has changed my life. When I started my work with her 7 years ago, I was hardly able to walk due to some autoimmune and musculoskeletal issues. Between her extensive knowledge of how the body works, pilates, foam rolling, nutrition, and myofascial stretching- she has helped me get to a place in my physical wellness that I never thought I could obtain. I recently was able to compete and had one of the highest scores in a rigorous fitness test for an agency employment position. That would not have been possible without Shannon’s support. She listened to any physical concerns I was having with my body and always had an answer of how to remedy it. I could not more highly recommend her."
"Shannon is one of the best instructors that I've ever worked with. In Pilates, she pays precise attention to form to ensure that I'm moving the right muscles in proper alignment so that I get more out of the movements I do. She has helped me improve alignment, strength and mobility. I also love working with her on Fascia Stretch Therapy™, which feels amazing, and energy healing, which has helped me feel more at peace."
"Shannon has added energy work to her repertoire of teaching “all things body”. I’ve noticed that now her observational skills have gotten keener and she seems to have the ability to perceive and then address a wider range of issues on a deeper level. She addresses issues relating to breathing, body alignment, strength discrepancy, and fascial tightness. The benefit of the energy work has positively effected my experiences in and outside of the Pilates studio in a profound way. These sessions have given me a sense of comfort and self confidence. I’m so grateful to be training with her."
"Shannon shares my fascination with how the body and mind work and how, when ’tuned’, they work so harmoniously. During Pilates sessions, Shannon has noticed the slightest pull that has created imbalance and has corrected it to make my body free to move again. Shannon is intuitive, dedicated to her craft, and a great communicator."
"Shannon is a remarkable Pilates instructor. I’ve worked with her since 2015. She is a complete professional. Not only is she an expert in exercise, she is a true partner in my physical and emotional well being."
"I had an issue with both feet that could be very painful and limited my choice of shoes to the clunkier styles. Shannon’s Foot Fitness classes have completely relieved the pain, and have improved my foot flexibility. A side benefit: cool shoes back in my wardrobe!"
