Beyond Birth Trauma: Everything I Offer

Birth trauma doesn’t start at birth. It doesn’t even start with your mother. It begins with your grandmothers, your great-grandmothers, the whole long line of people who came before you, carrying their wars and losses and shames and silences down through the generations, straight into your cells.

We hold at least seven generations of cellular memory in our bodies. That’s not a metaphor. That’s epigenetics. So when you ask yourself “why am I like this?” or “why does this keep happening to me?” and the obvious answers don’t quite fit, it’s worth looking further back than your own childhood.

That’s what all of my work is really about. Whether we’re working on your birth, your nervous system, your money blocks, your ancestral line or the parts of you that got lost somewhere along the way, we’re always looking for the same thing: the repeating patterns. The places where you feel stuck despite doing everything right. The beliefs that run quietly underneath everything, shaping your choices before you’ve even made them consciously.

The Return to You

This is where most people start, and it’s a free resource available: https://gift.shannonoflaherty.com/ It’s three steps: release your emotional shock, access your truth, and reclaim your power.

It starts with your energy body, because if your energy isn’t flowing, nothing else works properly, no matter how much you meditate or journal or do the things you’re supposed to do. We work with the Central Torus, the central channel that runs through you from earth to sky, and the seven main chakras, each of which holds different beliefs, different feelings, different stories and govern different organs in your body.

We also work with muscle testing, which is one of the fastest ways I know to find out what’s actually going on in your subconscious, because your cells don’t lie to you. I’ll show you how to do it, and yes, it works. Children love it. Sceptics are usually surprised.

If your parents are still alive, now is a genuinely good time to start asking them questions. The Return to You resource includes questions to help you do exactly that. And there’s a more expansive free guide on my website. And if your parents have passed? You can still reach them. I speak to my mother in spirit more now than I did when she was alive, and she still has her southern accent.

Shamanic Healing

This is the oldest thread running through everything I do, and it goes places that talk therapy and even energy work can’t always reach.

Soul retrieval is one of the most profound things I offer. When we experience trauma, parts of us can fragment and dissociate, essentially leaving. They don’t come back on their own. Soul retrieval is the process of going to find those parts and bringing them home. If you’ve done a lot of healing work and still feel like something is missing, like you’re not quite all there, this is often why.

Entity removal is something people are sometimes surprised to hear about, but it’s more common than you’d think. When someone dies and doesn’t fully cross over, they can attach to a living person, particularly someone who is open, empathic or going through a vulnerable time. You end up carrying a spirit that isn’t yours, which can show up as inexplicable moods, thoughts that don’t feel like you, or a heaviness that has no obvious source. Removing that presence and sending it properly to the light is straightforward work once you know what you’re looking at.

Crystallised extractions address the phantom pains and physical sensations in the body that have no medical explanation. In shamanic understanding, trauma and emotional residue can crystallise in the body as dense, stuck energy. Extracting it can shift pain that has been there for years.

I also work with balancing your fight and flight response, because so many people are living in a chronic state of activation, their nervous system stuck on high alert long after the original threat has passed. This work helps the body remember what safety actually feels like.

Distant healing means none of this requires you to be in the same room as me. Energy has no postcode. Sessions done remotely are just as effective, and I work with people all over the world.

Shamanic acupuncture (from a distance) works with the body’s energy meridians and pressure points through a shamanic lens, combining the precision of the acupuncture system with the broader spiritual work of shamanic practice.

And for those who are ready for something truly transformational, I lead shamanic healing trips to Peru. These are immersive journeys into the ancestral roots of this work, held in sacred ceremony with plant medicine and the land itself as part of the healing. If you feel called to this, you’ll know. The next trip is end of September 2027, join the waiting list!

Ceremony

I hold monthly full moon fire ceremonies for intention setting, release and connection. These are open gatherings, held in the energy of the full moon, using fire as the ancient technology it is for transformation and community. If you’ve never sat around a fire in ceremony, come and find out what you’ve been missing.

I am also a bespoke ceremonialist, which means I create ceremonies for any occasion where something needs to be marked, honoured or transitioned through. Births, deaths, divorces, rites of passage, home blessings, major life turning points. And yes, I am a celebrant, which means I can marry you too. If you want a ceremony that actually means something, rooted in the sacred rather than the standard script, that’s exactly what I do.

The Ebooks

I have a collection of ebooks, each going deep into a specific area.

Clearing Your Abundance Blockers looks at your relationship with money and energy, because money is energy, and all of the beliefs you carry about whether you deserve it, whether it’s safe, whether it’s spiritual, whether you have to struggle for it, those beliefs live in your nervous system and your neural pathways. This ebook helps you find them and start changing them.

118 Abundance Blockers Keeping Spiritual People Stuck in Scarcity goes wider and deeper. A lot of these blockers have nothing obviously to do with money, which is exactly the point. Your thoughts, feelings and experiences are all interwoven, and the thing holding you back financially might be living somewhere you’d never think to look. This one covers dual beliefs, opposing belief systems that cancel each other out, and the mechanics of actually rewiring your brain. Because you learned these patterns, which means you can unlearn them.

The Seven Day Shame Release Challenge is for the shame that doesn’t announce itself. The quiet, heavy, shapeshifting kind that hides in your thoughts and your body and your relationships. This one takes you through finding where it lives, getting underneath it, working with your inner child, moving the emotion through your body, and anchoring in a new story.

Lineage Healing Blueprint: 33 Questions Every Woman Must Ask Before Transforming Her Ancestral Story is exactly what it sounds like, and more. These 33 questions are less an exercise and more an initiation. They help you reconnect with your why, see the patterns in your lineage, and build the emotional safety you need to do the deeper work. You don’t need to know much about your ancestry to begin. This is what gets you there.

The Five Step Path to Healing Generational Shame takes the shame work further back. Shame doesn’t start with you in this lifetime, and this ebook explores the layers of it that travel down through generations, long before you arrived.

Hidden Ancestral Oaths Keeping Spiritually-Minded Women Stuck is the one that changed my own life dramatically when I discovered it. There are seven specific oaths that regenerate lifetime after lifetime, often showing up as a repeating pattern or a belief that just won’t shift no matter what you do. Each one aligns with a chakra. Clearing them can move something that nothing else has touched.

1:1 Sessions

I work with clients in two-hour sessions, on Zoom or in person. In every new client session, I go in looking for foetal memories, because what your parents were feeling while you were forming in utero went straight into you. We clear those, and then work through whatever the current layer is, always tracking the repeating patterns, always connecting the dots between what’s happening now and what’s been happening for generations.

The shamanic tools sit alongside the rest of my practice seamlessly. Belief work in the neural pathways, Theta Healing, NLP, hypnotherapy, ancestral oath clearing, soul retrieval, entity removal, extractions, chakra balancing, and nervous system repair. I use what’s needed. Everything is in service of the same thing: finding what’s actually running the show underneath, and changing it.
