Shannon Yeager
Owner, Founder and Wellness Coach
Shannon has been in the wellness industry for over a decade, with certifications in coaching, yoga (RYT-500), sound healing and Usui Reiki. Her offerings were inspired by her own wellbeing journey.
One morning in college, Shannon woke up with a numb and tingly sensation in her hands. She learned she was hyperventilating due to stress. She began attending weekly yoga classes, meditating and learning techniques to deepen the breath and relieve anxiety.
She received her business undergraduate degree from the U.C. Berkeley Haas School of Business and began working in marketing and partnerships in the corporate world. She learned the entrepreneurial and professional skills that would help her launch her own business and mentor others.
In 2015, she obtained her yoga certification and began teaching yoga and mindfulness classes in gyms, studios, community spaces and corporate centers in the Bay Area.
She moved to San Diego in 2019 and began hosting healing events and workshops. Her offerings incorporate breathwork, meditation, sound and mindful movement to quiet the noise of the mind and tune inward.
After her daughter was born in 2023, she began working with moms to help them tune into their purpose and reignite their passion. Soon, Expand Beyond was born: intuitive wellness coaching and practices to heal, grow, transform and take flight.
Shannon’s mission is to help people learn tools to regulate their nervous system, tune into their intuition, and find what lights them up to live a vibrant and fulfilling life. She has worked with executive leaders, non-profit founders, healers, teachers, new moms and more to get clarity on their vision and take meaningful action on their dreams.
