Dra Shannon Ridge, PsyD

Shannon is a somatic practitioner, trauma recovery practitioner, energetic practitioner, counselor, and certified Kundalini Yoga Rebirthing Instructor. Her work brings together body-based therapeutic approaches, nervous system awareness, contemplative practices, and energetic traditions. Expansion Somatics grew from her belief that meaningful healing often requires more than intellectual understanding alone.

Shannon creates a grounded, human space where clients can explore patterns with curiosity and compassion while reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner experience. Her approach is personalized rather than prescriptive, drawing from multiple modalities to support deeper awareness, regulation, integration, self-understanding, and more conscious choices in everyday life with greater presence.

Shannon supports clients through body-based inquiry, nervous system awareness, emotional processing, and practical tools for deeper self-understanding and integration work.

Her trauma-informed work explores protective responses, recurring patterns, regulation, connection, and greater capacity without forcing or rushing the healing process.

Training in Kundalini Yoga and energetic practices brings breath, meditation, movement, mantra, and contemplative tools into appropriate client experiences thoughtfully.
