Are you ready?
Get a FREE Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) workbook to begin reducing self-doubt NOW!
12 page workbook to teach you how to quickly reduce self-doubt and anxiety.
Regardless of “what you do” I bet you wanna stop the chronic second- guessing, indecision, resentment, exhaustion, disconnection, and people-pleasing, right?
It leaves you depleted, feeling empty and like that pit in your stomach and tightness in your throat is just some “new normal.” We can all agree, that sucks!
Instead, receive new tools to reclaim your power over self-doubt, build solid self-trust so you navigate life centered and authentic, without being a chameleon shifting to the whim of people-pleasing.
Embrace a whole-hearted life, cultivate whole-self acceptance, and experience aligned bodymind connection while being part of a supportive community!
Are you feeling this and
want to be DONE with it?
Not "broken" but also not "whole?"
You notice some parts of you are pretty solid, but other parts of you feel hidden, ignored, and disconnected.
Busy "doing" but not "present" or connected.
You’re on auto-pilot feeling a bit numb, doing a lot of things but not living presently.
Functional in most ways, but not satisfied?
You try managing adult life, but the amount of energy it takes is exhausting.
Indecisive, overwhelmed, and resentful
Trying to people please, making other people’s goals your own so you “fit in” when you want to belong.
Stuck, depleted, under-appreciated and exhausted “over-doing” for everyone else,
Still feeling empty and unsatisfied in your own life because the approval seeking from others is unending.
Immbolized by self-betrayal
Unsure how to get back into alignment with your true self.
What if I told you this was possible instead?
...experiencing a trust between your mind and your emotions
cultivating increased peace of mind & internal safety
...ability to tolerate distress and still problem-solve
not going into overwhelm but remaining connected to yourself even when life is “messy”
...cultivate confidence & develop resilience
not going into overwhelm but remaining connected to yourself even when life is “messy” and adulting is hard.
...learning & holding to your self-respecting limits
increasing generosity, resources, energy and love in your life
...identifying & holding to what is right and true for you
increasing self-loyalty rather than engaging in self-betrayal
If you want this, keep ready!

What Other Clients Say
Working with Shannan taught me so many foundational parts of my healing, it’s unlike any type of help I’ve had before. She nails my patterns and supports me making changes that feel true to me. She has both a frank style but is so encouraging and compassionate, it sets a great model for me in my own business so my old blocks don’t show up as much or get in my way.
AR
I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my sensory world. It took me some time, but I’m so grateful I learned body-based tools to help me realize my body is “always trying to help me,” like Shannan teaches. Her compassion and skill is top-notch, even when it might feel uncomfortable at first. I see how this stuff helps me in all areas of my life, but for me, it’s mostly been as a parent.
MB
Shannan is an amazing coach! She helped me get clear on my values and goals & compassionately taught me how to re-connect to all the different parts of me for that “whole” healing experience. I’m a better version of myself now and absolutely a better executive.
TW
I can’t say enough about what a game-changer this type of healing has been. I really didn’t understand how important “body, mind, heart, and soul” was, but WOW what a difference. I feel whole and connected and even on my tough days, I know I’m just “having a tough day, not a tough life.” I highly recommend working with her, don’t wait another day.
CL
When Shannan & I first started working together, I’ll admit I was kinda guraded since I’d done a fair amount of healing already and was studying to be a therapist when some additional wounds showed up for healing. Her “whole self healing” mantra made such a difference for me! Like her, I’d been doing ‘talk therapy’ for a long time but the body-based stuff helped me “unlearn to relearn” and repattern connection in a profound way. BEST decision I ever made because now I can help my clients with more clarity and groundedness.
SS
Knowing that Shannan’s been through the very thing she was helping me with was incredibly encouraging for me. It wasn’t someone who was “aloof” but she was always relatable. She was able to model for me because she’d been lost, self-betraying, and disconnected from herself. What a guide! I highly recommend working with her – it was truly life-changing for me. I really couldn’t afford not to and I’m proud of myself for investing in ME.
AA
When I first met Shannan, I was a little uncertain due to how different her framework was. It felt unsettling to me at first, and then I thought, “Well, I’ve gotta do something different…and she’s different!” What I didn’t anticipate is how compassionate and non-judgmental she can be as well. She helped me feel connected to my senses when I’d been disconnected for so long. She’s taught me amazing things I can do for myself and that feels like a freedom to me in so many areas of my life.
JT
I’d been in therapy for a long time working to understand the concept around “self-love.” Until I worked with Shannan, most of what I’d done was just basic talk therapy stuff. Shannan’s “whole-self” approach really brought it home, inside, for me and related it to my pervasive self-doubt as I learned to not rely so extensively on external validation. I learned I had to “trust me” before I could really trust anyone else. Priceless changes for me, just wish I’d found her method sooner.
BR
I don’t sugarcoat things so here’s the deal:
Getting to this point wasn’t easy or a straight line
💔 1) For a LONG time I believed I couldn’t handle the effort of healing and having my own practice.
😔 2) I couldn’t handle the distress of disappointing others & didn’t have enough consistent help or a community of support
Because of these two ESSENTIAL factors, even if I was “successful” in some areas, I continued evaluating my “okayness” based on external factors.
I WORKED SOOO HARD but could only find temporary success. I’m sure you get that, right?
I was DEEP in the search for external approval & avoiding the fear of disappointing others and it was costing me big-time.
Logically I was capable, resilient, intelligent and had
all the outward skills and credentials.
Emotionally, I was still wounded and healing the wounds seemed like it would time away from “living my life.”
And then the Pandemic happened.
I could say I had an “awakening” or an “epiphany”
but since I’m keepin’ in real…
I had an emotional breakdowndue to trauma responses
Here’s what happened & how it eventually became my
Kairos Coaching for Holistic Healing
I was placed on “personal leave” because I was
breaking under a toxic, unsupported employment setting
and the isolation of the Pandemic.
I was having major trauma reactions, and needed things to
“fall apart” to “build it back”
I learned body-based or somatic therapy tools AND combined them with traditional thinking skills
I began improving my bodymind connection, noticing and working WITH my feelings and body responses.
I became part of a healing group of women for support
I learned self-loyalty versus people-pleasing, reducing my need for external validation
It all started comin’ together,
I was building self-trust, confidence, and calm!
For the first time,
I began ACTUALLY healing my body, mind, heart, and soul and realized
I COULD handle it, it felt AMAZING to center myself into calm, NOT fear!
And the best of all, I learned that healing is a continuous process for myself, my family and my career 🥰
I finally came to understand how whole-self healing happened and that I could help others do the same
But first, let me properly
introduce myself.
I’m Shannan Blum, founder of Kairos Coaching. I’m a Certified Somatic Practitioner, Safe & Sound Protocol Provider, and licensed therapist so you’ll feel empowered and inspired throughout your healing.
Welcome to Kairos Coaching…where healing meets opportunity. I’m the heart behind this transformative space, dedicated to guiding women who are healers, parents, or business owners through the healing of what holds them back: the unresolved trauma and emotional wounds leading to self-doubt and building self-trust and whole-self connection instead.
With over three decades of experience as a healer and a personal lifetime committed to healing, I discovered that true (lasting) healing transcends traditional talk therapy and external validation.
The integrative support and encouragement you’ll receive is an “inside-out process” from a whole-self standpoint, not just addressing external symptoms.
Healing the Kairos way doesn’t mean you won’t struggle, but it does mean you’ll receive strong support to manage painful experiences in integrative and effective ways.
Healing self-doubt in the body, mind, heart, and soul…
My healing approach is a holistic and integrative experience, embracing healing your whole self: the body, mind, heart, and soul.
You’ll learn how the wounds of self-doubt have stolen the most important things from you and how to build your self-trust across all areas of life. You’ll heal your bodymind connection, tapping into your body’s inner wisdom so you can live a whole-hearted life. You’ll be a better parent, provider, or business owner because your safety will be inside of you!
My own journey through trauma recovery & healing included somatic and holistic therapies. This pathway is what I share with you, and you get to decide what will work for you!
At Kairos Coaching, I don’t just talk about change; I embody it and walk it with you. I’m transparent about my own struggles and wins and will celebrate with you!
Are you ready to reclaim, reconnect, and rebuild your life…together?
What’s the Difference Between Coaching and Therapy?
It’s about where the client is.
Coaching is for you if you’re at a “non-clinical” level of functioning. A coach provides inspiration, support, empowerment as a guide for you to enrich your life, solidify skills, and build a community for healing. Coaching can identify and address core issues and root causes, but coaches do not diagnose or clinically treat mental health/medical issues. “Life Coaching” is a subset of coaching services, where I provide in-real-life support of basic life skills (usually for young adults). These session could be traditional virtual or in-person sessions, or outings taken together to businesses and events. I engage only a limited number of Life Coaching clients, please email me at kairoscoaching@sbmftservices.com.
Therapy treats “medical necessity,” it assumes significant level of impaired functioning in relationships, school/work, or sense of self. Impairment of activities of daily living, missing school or work, high risk behaviors, etc. warrant therapy. Therapy usually focuses on symptom reduction and may not address root causes or whole-self integrative processes. Therapists do diagnose and treat mental health/medical issues.
Because I get that you won’t necessarily take it from me, here’s what some of my clients say about working with me.
I’ve been journaling and wanted to say “thank you!” I appreciate the support you have provided me…had I not made the choice to engage you, I would likely still be miserable. The changes in my personal and professional life are astonishing and others are noticing, too! Thank you for helping me heal “all of me.” You are a light and source of inspiration.
I was struggling and didn’t feel like my needs or wants mattered. Shannan has played a pivotal role helping me recognize my self-worth and understand the importance of my boundaries. Her compassionate guidance gently guided me to realizing I AM deserving of respect and consideration. She provided a safe space for self-reflection, reinforcement and affirmation of my own value. Shannan’s ongoing support has empowered me to navigate life with greater confidence.
Your knowledge of inner child work helps me build on my understanding. I’m only now starting to understand how my childhood has impacted my entire life. Finally having my struggles validated is something I’ve been searching for all my life and it feels good to see and help my inner child finally. Learning self-compassion is a process but I’m seeing how important it is now, as well as self-care. It feels good to finally learn to “self-accept” rather than allowing the critical perfectionistic voice to take over.
I’m pretty direct, so I’ll have you ask yourself 2 key questions:
1) “What’s my peace of mind worth to me?”
2) “What am I willing to invest to get rid of chronic self-doubt and self-betrayal?”
Now – here are my

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the coaching all virtual, or is there some in-person services?
A: If clients are local to The Woodlands, Texas area then I can do in-person. Otherwise, all my coaching services are virtual from the ease, comfort, and safety of your own home.
For our VIP retreat, it is in-person in Coldspring, Texas.
Q: Do you have other providers as coaches, or do you actually provide the services?
A: No and yes! If you sign up for my coaching membership, you get the REAL-DEAL “me” and my personal healing experiences to support, inspire, and guide you!
If you sign up for our VIP retreat, I generally collaborate with other providers who specialize in complimentary treatment services to leverage and maximize the benefit for the client.
Q: How many clients are in your cohorts?
A: In order for the group coaching to provide maximum benefit, I cap membership for the small groups at 15 clients. When the participation exceeds 15 clients, I will open another membership cohort.
For our current VIP retreat, we cap participation at 14 to assure all attendees receive exceptional care.
Q: Do I get a pro-rated refund if I can’t attend one of the small-group coaching weeks?
A: Your monthly membership subscription is a tuition-based model and are based on access provided, not whether or not you attend. The Elevate Membership includes 4 hrs of video instruction and all coaching sessions are recorded for replay, so you’ll not miss anything. The Access Membership is all email-based so there’s no attendance to worry about. You can cancel the subscriptions at any time.
Q: If I have friends or family who want to participate, is it okay for them to join in the same small-group or retreat as me?
A: YES! This is one area where coaching provides more flexibility than traditional therapy! If you and a friend/family member want to join in to the same small-group coaching or retreat experience, it’s a fantastic way to create even more support in your relationships.
Q: How are coaching and therapy different?
A: Therapy assumes the client’s functioning is impaired and tackles specific behavioral or emotional symptoms according to medical necessity. Life Coaching is in-real-time support of life skills and emotion regulation and is offered on a limited basis. Holistic Healing Coaching assumes clients are functioning at an effective baseline level and are seeking encouragement, inspiration, support, integration, or guidance to live life more fully.
Money Back Guarantee

A: Yes absolutely! I’m so confident in the 3-phase healing process, I offer both a 3-day cancellation policy as well as the ability to cancel your subscription membership at any point.
