Shannon is a gifted bodyworker. That claim is an immense understatement! To surmise that she practices body witchcraft that enables you to feel as you should is a fit description for a layman. However, as crafty as she is, she's also a scientist.
She helped me to rid my body of some incredible discomfort and has additionally helped me with my battle with chronic disease. I truly feel better for knowing her. I would recommend anyone to her, but I'd also recommend my friends and family. Thanks Shannon!

Shannon is basically a miracle worker! I can't believe how much progress I have made in 2 sessions! She really has special knowledge of how the body moves and how the physical realm and the emotional realm are connected! She has found and resolved several issues I didn't even know I had! Simply amazing!

I love working with Shannon. She's so in tune with the body and so perceptive. It's truly amazing what she notices as far as comepnsations, where you hold tension, when other body parts move when you are speaking about something emotional. Working with her tremendously helps me nervous system and helps me to continue to go deeper into being in tune with my own body. Her space is warm. She plays great music. She makes scheduling easy. She's willing to text/face time/jump on a call in emergency. She truly wants to empower you to be your own teacher. I love her philosophy of being a guide and an observer but giving you the tools to give light to your body and heal yourself. I love working with her and would recommend her to anyone.

I was lucky enough to win a package of 3 sessions with Shannon a Sky Candy auction. I knew by the end of my first session I would be coming back after my package ended.
I shattered my ankle 13 years ago and I have large plates and screws in it. I have had pain and limited range of motion in it ever since. Shannon immediately understood the extent of my injury and she explained the techniques she wanted to use to help me.
She was extremely gentle and patient with me, as I am very reluctant to let anyone touch or manipulate my scar tissue and joint. The results of her work are seriously magical.
I was able to move my ankle with an increased range of motion immediately. When I stood up, I felt more grounded and less lop-sided. It's so amazing to feel like I can access all these parts of my body again.
Shannon is so friendly and easy-going, but she is also a total professional and a wealth of knowledge. If you are thinking about going to Chulel, do it! My experience has been nothing short of life-changing!

Shannon has made more of a difference than everything else I've tried for lower back pain (steroid injections, chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, and physical therapy) combined. When I first came to her I'd had lower back pain for almost a year and had been unable to drive or sit down for four months. After seeing her for less than two months I am nearly pain-free and continuing to improve. She uses a combination of different therapies and customizes each visit to your needs. She sends a follow-up email after every session recapping what worked and what didn't, and what exercises and stretching you can work on before your next session to keep improving. I actually quit going to physical therapy even though it was covered by insurance because going to Shannon is so much more effective. My only regret is I wish I'd found her sooner! Cannot recommend her enough.

Finding Chulel-A Pilates is one of the best things that has happened since I moved to Austin three months ago. I sought out relief for debilitating lower back pain, which I suspected came from the stress and emotional consequences of a big life change. Working with Shannon is multi-faceted in that she works to identify the root of the issue: one, recognizing the mind-body connection (that our thoughts, feelings, and attitude have an impact on our physical being) and, two, examining how posture, alignment, and movement contribute to pain/ relief.
Seeing Shannon is like seeing a physical therapist, healer, and psychotherapist in one. She is incredibly intuitive, and deploys a variety of tools and exercises to address issues. I not only feel better, physically, but I learn more about myself with each session. I know that our work together is resulting in long-term change, because she has taught me how my subconscious habits (like how i walk, sit, or hold tension) tie directly to different discomforts. I have greater awareness of listening to the messages that my body is trying to tell me.
I have received incredible benefits from our work together and look forward to continuing the journey. I feel lucky to have found this incredible studio & healer, and am happy to help others find her, too.

Shannon is, as I think others have also called her, a "magician." Extremely observant, intuitive, and knowledgeable. I went in because of lower back pain, and she helped me not only with this, but also gave me incredible insight in general. I would highly recommend Chulel!

After years of searching for answers to chronic aches and pains, Shannon is the first person I have ever met that seems to actually understand how the body and mind work together. I have made more progress in the 3 months of seeing her, and learned more about my body, than all of my other attempts combined. Shannon truly loves what she does and cares for her clients. This combination, in addition to being an expert in her field, makes her one of a kind.

My entire life I have been suffering from deep-rooted postural imbalances. After two years of seeking professional guidance from chiropractors and massage therapists, Shannon has been the ONLY person to actually help me correct my issue.
She has an incredible depth of understanding on the motor functions of the body. And she makes it her mission to teach your mind to learn how to tap into your own body and understand it and how it works.
She actually cares about you and will not treat you like "a number" like many professionals do these days. She will have the courage to tell you the things you need to hear that may be "unpolitical" but necessary for growth.
Truly a professional. I would recommend to my closest of friends.
Thanks Shannon!

I was amazed at how much I learned and how much Shannon helped me after just one session. She is extremely knowledgable and was able to tell where I needed help just by observing the way I walk and move my body. She helped me engage muscles I had forgotten, felt exhausted in a very good way, and slept like a baby that night. I am very excited to continue working with her to address my health issues because I know she is going to be able to correct them and get me in tip top shape. So grateful to have met her!

Shannon is amazing! I don't know exactly how to describe what she does, other than it seems like magic, but it's clearly based on science and logic. She has helped me to identify emotional and mental components of my physical problems, and has helped me to address them in a healthy way. There is no judgement or pushiness in her space. She is empathetic, interested and kind. She is passionate about helping people understand how their bodies work and why they work that way. Working with Shannon is not a quick fix, which to me is a compliment. She is all about finding the root of the problem and fixing that so that the problem never comes back. Love her, can't recommend her enough!

Shannon's techniques were new to me and I was excited and open to working with her. The studio space is very clean and nice and she uses a variety of techniques to achieve different goals or processes. I initially visited her to work on some tight muscles and ended up delving into my closed off chest space and other emotionally contrived areas. She is very perceptive of both physical and emotional needs and gives direction well. She is gentle but direct with her methods and I have found more self-awareness after seeing her.
