Because of her lifestyle and understanding of the chaos that comes with professional sports, Dr. Shannon also recognizes the limitations that come with the daily grind of being a pro athlete. She knows that professional athletes do not keep bankers hours. Dr. Shannon offers a very unique flexible concierge practice with 24 Hour private phone access for all athlete clients. This is quite typical of Dr. Erin Shannon's practice and is unheard of elsewhere among doctors, specialists, psychologists, coache, and practitioners, who do not understand the immediacy of addressing critical issues quickly and succinctly. Dr. Shannon has a firsthand understanding of the nearly inhuman levels of intensity stress and anxiety pre and post game, the amount of road travel and hours of operation that professional teams keep and the ensuing stress that it puts on the family unit.

Dr. Erin Shannon has athletics in her blood. Her upbringing as the daughter of St. Louis Cardinal baseball player and longtime voice of the Cardinals, Mike Shannon, gives her a unique lifelong knowledge and insight into the lifestyle and challenges that accompany professional athletics that is impossible to teach but essential for optimal results. From growing up in locker rooms, traveling with professional teams, and, eating at training tables, post game recovery, etc. Dr. Shannon understands and lives the strenuous and extensive schedule that comes with professional  sports.  The extensive education and unique clinical profession Dr. Shannon pursued after her athletic career ended due to serious injury,  enables her to offer a one-of-a-kind comprehensive and an extremely unique menu of support options, services, and assistance to athletes and their families while ensuring ABSOLUTE privacy and security.  Dr. Shannon acknowledges and has experienced the complexities of trust, privacy, and protection for athletes and their loved ones. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to Dr. Shannon because she has witnessed first hand the devastating results of private information being broadcasted and trust being violated, monies lost, and careers ruined. She has sworn herself to protect her clients above all else! Without a solid basis of trust, genuine healing can not occur. Dr. Shannon's professional athlete clients often describe their work together as the only time they have experienced true freedom to completely open up, allowing them to harness their energy consciously towards their goals with remarkable results. In the sports industry it is taboo to show any kind of "weakness". Dr. Shannon's office is a place where these perceived weakness and challenges can be harnessed and and transformed into strengths and results that can take the best in the world to an even higher level. This healing is essential to rapidly shift from struggle to strength. There is no fear of repercussions. In the professional sports industry, the feeling of complete and absolute trust is rare, if not impossible. For many athletes who function under the constant scrutiny and pressures of the industry, this level of trust is not only a relief, but a sacred gift and is essential for the true growth of healing. With this trust, nothing is impossible and Dr. Shannon has proven over years of work that it is the bedrock of champions who appear to effortlessly release, master, and transmute "weaknesses" into strengths, leaving them BULLETPROOF!

In 1994, Blair Ashby owned a recording studio and was asked to transfer a video series about Christian mysticism to audio cassettes. In the first fifteen minutes of the introductory tape, the host, Fr. Thomas Keating, said so much about the nature of reality that Blair’s head felt like it had exploded. Those new insights unknowingly germinated a desire to experience and eventually teach ways to this reality. In 1997, Keating’s organization asked Blair to record Fr. Thomas live, and Blair has been recording spiritual teachers and philosophers ever since. Through personal relationships with dozens of these spiritual teachers, philosophers, and scientists, he has learned that the root problems we humans have in our lives are the distorted ways we think and navigate reality. More importantly, he has learned some methods for minimizing or eliminating those distortions so we can live more joyfully, peacefully, and contentedly.Blair now teaches his Creating Self-Compassion class at least six times a year, does private coaching with clients worldwide, and teaches Communication and Critical Thinking at a trade school.You can reach Blair through his website: Self-CompassionateLiving.com, or at [email protected]#SelfCompassion#MentalHealthMatters#BeKindToYourself#EmotionalWellness#SelfLoveJourney#InnerHealing#Mindfulness#SelfAcceptance#YouAreEnough#CompassionateLiving*DISCLAIMER:     The information on this website is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for advice, diagnosis, or treatment regarding medical or mental health conditions.
