Hi, I'm Shannon McLaughlin. I'm a psychic medium, truth-seeker, shadow warrior, and soul guide.

​

Thank you for reading my story.​

​​

I was born the middle child into an exceptionally dysfunctional family, which shaped a very unconventional childhood. My parents struggled with addiction and I experienced deep trauma early on - physically, emotionally, and sexually. At age seven, my brothers and I were separated and placed into the foster care system until my paternal grandmother received custody of my younger brother and me. 

​

Living in such chaos wired my nervous system for survival - I was always on guard, hyperaware, and sensitive to unseen energies from a young age. I remember covering my head at night because I could feel spirits but didn't yet understand what I was experiencing. Chronic nosebleeds and strep throat plagued me - signs now that I was transmuting heavy energy around me. I've since come to understand that I am a transmuter, here to alchemize ancestral and collective darkness into light - for myself, and for others.

​

In 2015, my mother was murdered. This tragedy catalyzed my spiritual awakening. Her death cracked me open to the unseen world and marked the beginning of my conscious connection with spirit. It was as if the veil was lifted - synchronicities, messages, and profound spiritual experiences began unfolding in my daily life that I couldn't ignore. I started receiving messages from people's passed loved ones and felt called to share them. The more I trusted, the more spirit worked through me. That's when I embraced my path as a psychic medium.​

​​

Though, I've trained in many healing arts - Reiki, massage, yoga, and somatic work - it is mediumship that continues to be the most powerful expression of my purpose. My connection with spirit and intuitive channel allows me to deliver messages of healing, clarity, and peace to those navigating loss, uncertainty, or deep soul transitions. 

​​

Over the past 10 years, I've devoted myself to inner alchemy and walked through the fire of my own becoming - not just once, but initiation after initiation. After my mother's death, I was later hit by the physical trauma of a serious car accident, and most recently, the grief of losing my father in 2025 to addiction. Each of these moments cracked me open in ways that forced me to meet myself - raw, broken, and stripped of all illusion.

This hasn't been a surface-level healing journey; it's been a full body surrender into the shadows of my psyche, the pain stored in my nervous system and the ancestral wounds carried in my blood. I've unlearned survival, sat with my own death cycles, and chosen, again and again, to transmute pain into power. I've immersed myself in shadow work, energy medicine, plant allies, sacred ceremony, breath work, somatic healing, yoga, and deep nervous system rewiring - not as quick fixes, but as sacred devotion. I don't just hold space for transformation - I am the space, because I've lived inside the darkness and made a home in the light that rises from it.​

​​

Today, I feel immense gratitude for the path that shaped me. I've survived insurmountable odds - and I would choose this life again, knowing I get to serve humanity in this way.

​

It's my honor to help others come back home to themselves - to connect with their loved ones in spirit, to remember who they are, and to reclaim the light within.

​

​If your soul led you here, trust that. I'm looking forward to connecting with you.

With love,

Shannon
