With over a decade of experience as a school leader and educator, Shannon founded Heart & Mind School Consulting to help families feel calm, informed, and confident as they navigate their child’s early educational journey. As a teacher, school administrator, and a mom, she understands the hopes and worries that come with choosing a school. Shannon combines her professional expertise with a heart-centered approach—guiding families to reflect on their child’s unique strengths, their family’s values, and what environments will help both thrive.

“When my children were babies, I remember how overwhelming it felt to make the right decisions — even about something as simple (and essential) as sleep. I found calm and confidence through an on-demand baby sleep class led by an expert who helped me understand my child and make choices that worked for our family.

Now, as my children are school-aged and I’ve spent my career in education, I see that parents face that same uncertainty when it comes to choosing a school. There are so many options, opinions, and emotions — and very little guidance.

That’s why I created Heart & Mind: to bring that same sense of calm, thoughtful, expert support to one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your child.”
