“This experience has been incredible – beautiful, surprising, healing, creatively energizing. Over the course of our 6 weeks together, my connection to my body and my embodied experience deepened greatly; I feel like I just got out of a language immersion and can now communicate in the language of the body and the subconscious.”

“The experience was incredible! I noticed shifts in my body, heart and mind every single session. Even the ones I missed and had to watch the recording. Even after doing a lot of my own healing work in other spaces, through this series I found ways to connect to myself I had not felt before. I felt release of grief, fear and anger that has been weighing me down, and expansion in my sense of self-belonging.
”

“More re-membering. I came to heal my trauma of abuse. I learned that it’s ok to express myself fully, although I have been shy to do so....I am awed at the depth of movement, beauty of poetry, how [we] were present and knowing in heartfelt, body sense with mind altered.   ”

“My journey was truly expansive. It allowed me to step into a new understanding of what it means to be truly embodied, in my body. I noticed shifts in all areas of my life. Primarily i felt more present in my day to day activities. My heart felt more open. My spirit more aligned. My body felt truly heard for the first time in months. This course was deeply transformative. The lessons I learned will be Carried on for the rest of my journey in this vessel. I’m deeply thankful.”

“Hayley sets a space where I feel safe to really unfold into my experience. She guides with grace, skill and sensitivity a journey that puts me back into contact with my body’s deep wisdom, And leaves me feeling clean and energized; empty and also full!”

“I feel more in tune with myself more than ever.”

“You are just amazing. Your guidance is so gentle, sincere and authoritative, commanding trust. Leading me to believe in myself as I feel you honor and believe I me. 

I know that much of the work thats been done and the knowledge that has been integrated will last my human lifetime and be something that I will continue to see the fruit of. 

Effecting my children as well, how I connect with them and helping them as future generations of healers and feelers. 

You are bringing Source light into countless lives, offering a path to conscious living to souls beyond your physical reach as we each bring our radiant vibrations to those in our spheres of influence.

“
My experience with Hayley was deeply impactful. Since meeting with her, I have continued to utilize all of the resources that she taught me and have found this to be really helpful in my personal practice. I have noticed myself much more able to engage my body and be present with difficult emotions. I have also felt a bigger capacity to stay connected to my body and also to be more open to others seeing me. This was exactly what I was hoping for.”

“Through radiant open presence Hayley is able to bring me to a place of surrender to the places within me which still need tending to for healing.

With thoughtfully curated music, wise guidance, keen timing and gentle invitation, she has enabled me to release deep pain and to connect with myself whole, vibrant and engaged with creative life force.

In Hayley I experience a woman who is compassionate, skilled 
and deeply engaged with the work she feels drawn to do.”

“I really loved Wild Embodiment Series! your intuitive guidance, and all the other participants! This class helped me really understand my boundaries more and was so supportive as I was navigating some really hard times. It helped me reunite with my inner fire and spiritual practice which was my main goal in participating.
”

“I can’t say enough about how transformative and helpful your guidance has been. I have been finding the strength to push through, hold on and even thrive during some incredible difficulties. It’s more than I can bare alone and the tools I am gaining remind me that I am never alone! ”

“A beautiful way to access more embodiment. Hayley has an incredibly gentle yet powerful nature that allowed me to access true vulnerability. Processing through movement and vocal toning feel so much more integrated into my life. Thank you!! ”

“The experience was really profound. I noticed more spaciousness and ease in body and heart after moving through the invitations. I especially found moving with my anger empowering. And experienced an energetic release in moving with my stomach. ”

“In this workshop I have learned so many new ways to communicate with myself. I noticed changes when anxiety arises or a different emotion I am much more gentle with myself and I pause and listen and reflect differently. I feel more connected to myself than ever.”

“I continue to be amazed by our sessions together. The deepening in self and expression is building a new sense of confidence in my bones - and this week, in my voice! Looking forward to playing with this practice.”

“The very next day [after taking Dance Healing] I found my courage to face my fears and inhibitions....My path to dance healing and liberation has begun.

”

“I so loved our 8 weeks together. It’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever said yes to. I experienced powerful shifts in my body that moved me towards greater flow and alignment with my deeper Self.”

“Through [Dance Healing] I gained greater appreciation for my physical body. Before this workshop I had never really spent much time touching my body and allowing my physical body to guide my expression. I now allow my physical to express itself and be able to release what it needs to through movement.

I allowed my emotions to express themselves as they came. There were times when I didn’t know I was carrying pain, but ended up bursting into tears. There were times when I didn’t know I was yearning to be playful, but ended up prancing and laughing. There were times I didn’t know I needed quiet and stillness, but ended up just holding myself as if I was holding a 4 year old child that I so much loved.

This workshop allowed me to connect with others at a deep emotional level. To be able to witness others and allow others to witness me in such vulnerable ways taught me to speak from my heart, to verbalize my feelings in ways I never had.”

“You are a phenomenal facilitator, teacher, healer, and space shaper. I celebrate your ability and skill to ebb and flow with what is present rather than focusing on a plan. It created such ease for me as a participant. I trusted the container. That is was flexible while holding structure. Bravo Hayley. What a gift to learn from you. ”

“I am really grateful for you and this experience. I was able to connect to myself in new ways and see myself through a new lens. I am amazed at how potent this work is. I was able to feel more alive and me than I have in a long time. Also it was amazing to journey along with some wonderful souls and witness the transformation of all. I think everyone needs dance healing in their life. this is a practice I hope to come back to throughout my journey of life.

”

“I said yes to this experience because something deep within me said yes, as if my heart/body/mind/spirit within me needed it. For me it was all about connecting to a place deep within me that does not have words, feels limited by words, and wants to express in an embodied way. I’m learning to trust my own inner sensations and nudges, what wants to move and be expressed in me. The process of being witnessed and mirrored in a safe space with others impacted me deeply. I’m even having a hard time to find words to describe it. I just know that now i can move more freely at home and am continuing this practice of moving how my body wants to move on my own. Right now, with the spaciousness without having to ‘figure it out,’ just letting myself be in its expression. I’ve met deep grief in the process, and it feels kind, and timely.”

“For me personally, I love that this practice of dance healing creates a safe space for bodily presence and communication, and that one aspect of this practice can open us up to freedom from our own self oppressions, move us towards one another, where our bodies are able to hold and celebrate difference.”

“The authenticity and depth of connection that happens in just these couple of hours is absolutely profound. I feel so fed in my emotional and social wellbeing. I am also grateful for these opportunities as a dancer and an artist to really authentically create and express, to be witnessed and appreciated. And to appreciate others for the beauty, complexity and yet simplicity that we all bring.”

“I did Hayley’s Dance Healing workshop for the first time this morning and felt so solidly grounded in my body and soul afterwords. It was a chance to be held as I put much needed attention on my own body and internal world. I loved her progression through different movement invitations and internal inquiries. It felt so good to connect again with the core of me and start my day with a fresh and clear sense of self amidst this ever changing world.”

“In the past dancing for me has always had thoughts arise ‘I don’t know how.’ But the space created during the Dance Healing: Intuitive Movement Series allowed for the insecurities to be stripped away and for me to show up raw and real and be present with whatever is arising and move my body and have fun with it. All movement is divine and oh so human.”

“What a perfect way to start the day! I feel energized and attuned with my body and surroundings after Dance Healing. Hayley guides with great care and creativity which has me feel more spaciousness and curiosity in my process.”

“There were deeply held patterns and emotions in my body that I have not previously accessed through talk or touch therapies, but was finally able to release through Dance Healing. Thank you for your presence and sharing your gifts. ”

“For me, dance healing was a soft, powerful and awakening journey into a more authentic version of myself. Hayley led us through a series of exercises that made me feel grounded and open to connect with others. The arc of her class supports exploration and honest acknowledgment of what is emerging in every moment. She taps into the sacred community that movement can create and the class is magic.”

“If you are feeling lost (be it creatively, emotionally, realize that certain parts of your body feel disconnected), try this class. It has been a long time since I’ve last felt connected throughout my whole body and still maintaining that connection with my heart/soul.”

“Coming from a yoga-based movement background into the Dance Healing space, I was seeking a breath-focused, meditative class where I could move my body from a place of attunement and presence. Hayley’s facilitation allowed for my nervous system to relax and down-regulate, my breath was able to full inhabit my body and be at peace. Hayley is a beautiful facilitator who expertly balances the need for nonverbal and verbal communication, choice, group vs. individual needs, and variety of embodiment tools. The accompanying music was deeply thoughtful and helped deepen my experience without being distracting. I highly recommend!”

“Dancing sound was an incredible experience for me because it gave me a whole new toolkit to use in my healing practice. In resonating deeply with the places in my body that were craving a re-charge or a re-lease I was able to create vibrations that noticeably relieved pain and tension I was carrying around with me. I can’t wait to continue building upon this practice with Hayley - she is an amazing facilitator of sounding, making you feel comfortable and held to express authentically and unapologetically.”

“Thank you SO much for today! I feel incredibly open and my mind and body seem to be moving in new ways. Thank you for creating a space that felt so safe, whole, and informative. I feel like I’ll have lots of writing and reflecting to do over the next few weeks!”

“A gentle release from expectation, Hayley Shannon invites you to move in Open Dance Healing. This space creates the safety and support our contemporary selves crave, giving us time to integrate the experiences of body and spirit. Hayley’s guidance and use of imagery offers love to duality, practice to chaos, and allows acceptance to coexist with disagreement. Wherever you are in your journey, Hayley’s class is an opportunity to recuperate and honor your whole self.”

“Hayley creates a safe and trusting environment for moving and expressing the emotions that arise during the dance. I had been a dancer for many years when I was much younger, and my ability to express myself through movement was stuck. Her gentle voice and approach allowed me to get beyond my fear and actually feel joy in my body and with others, through awareness and acceptance. ”

“Amazed at the power and depth of emotion I experienced....It was a wonderful release to be able to express the pain and anguish that has been bottled up inside me. All my life, I have yearned to be able to express myself artistically and have been spectacularly unable to do so….I feel better for having expressed myself to that depth. Thanks for creating a safe place where we can get in touch with our authentic selves!”

“Dance Healing...allowed me to connect to my imagination and sense of play....feeling my body and it’s natural connection to the environment helped me shed some layers of adult-ness and feel like a kid again.”

“Hayley`s voice is a balm for every body and soul. Her instructions will invite you to explore your physical and emotional state of being, and then guide you to answer its call through meditation and gentle movement with yourself and your partners in space. Hayley`s workshop is a treat for movers of all dancing levels, age and experience. You will become united as one synchronized flowing energy where self-acceptance bonds you together. ”

“I feel so grateful to have met Hayley and come into practice with her in these dance healing workshops. I cannot emphasize how true the healing is to the experience. She holds space and guides dancers through it in a way that is respectful of where each person is currently at. She invites folx to be present and work with whatever is coming up for them. And she invites us to stretch as well—stretch into spaces of learning and growth, getting perhaps uncomfortable, but also feeling safe and cared for. These workshops have the power to open up a lot for you, or a little, depending on where you’re at when you walk through the door and where you hope to go. Come as you are and see what moves you!”
