About ME

My practice has roots and influences that include Transcendental Meditation, Insight tradition/Vipassanā meditation style. Over the past 16 years, I’ve gained wisdom and knowledge from many well-known Western teachers in both academic and retreat settings.    

Although I incorporate all I’ve learned into my work with others, the heart of my practice (personally and professionally) is firmly rooted in the Plum Village tradition as led by the global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist, Thích Nhất Hạnh.   

At Sit With Shawnta, my goal is to create a space you want to return to over and over.  I truly love connecting with people and specialize in creating intimate mindfulness experiences.  

Each time we meet, whether one-on-one or in a group setting, my intention is to help you feel warmly welcomed. This is a place to let go of that which doesn’t serve you and to connect with and nurture what does.  You can be yourself with me and know it's welcomed..
