Welcome to Notice the Journey!
Hello! I hope that you are safe and well.
I go by "Shannon Michael."
I'm a trauma-integrating somatic spiritual director. My scope of practice integrates traumatology (the study of trauma), Applied Polyvagal Theory, Applied Attachment Theory, and Internal Family Systems with the Wisdom Traditions.
I believe that spiritual direction is intended to help us establish (where absent), cultivate (where present), and restore (where damaged) the connections to our Inner Wisdom in the Somatic relationships with our Self, others, Spirit, and the planet. My trauma-integrating perspective holds safe, brave, and complex space to be with and work with the trauma ruptures and residues as you make that journey toward wholeness.
My website has links to my online learning platform, portions of my own writing, and numerous other resources. If I can support your journey, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Warmly,
Shannon Michael Pater
