Dr. Shannon Freeman, D.Ac

About

My upbringing and heritage have profoundly shaped my professional journey. Raised in North Dakota, I was deeply influenced by my Ojibwa/Cree/Metis roots from my grandmother and Quaker Mysticism from my grandfather. This upbringing instilled in me a profound connection to the cycles of life and death.

At the age of 20, I began my career as a Certified Nursing Aide, setting the foundation for my path in healthcare. Later, I pursued a Bachelor's in Human Services and Organizational Systems from Western Washington University. Inspired by the transformative work of Zdenka Daucik, a renowned physiotherapist from Bratislava, Slovak Republic, I delved into becoming a Licensed Massage Practitioner, honing skills in deep, long-lasting treatment methods.

Continuing my education, I obtained licensure in Acupuncture and pursued a Doctorate of Acupuncture. My focus centered on researching the treatment of Lyme Disease, Epstein Bar, and long-haul post-Covid symptoms through both allopathic and Eastern Medicine approaches. This diverse background equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of health and wellness, allowing me to provide holistic treatments addressing both physical and energetic aspects of health.

Driven by a desire for deeper understanding, I embarked on a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine Program (D.C.E.M.) awarded by Bian Hua Gong (The Temple of Change and Transformation) Daoist Temple. Simultaneously, I enrolled in a three-year Christian Mysticism & Spiritual Alchemy Priestess program, further enriching my comprehension of holistic healing and spiritual service.

In my practice, I've come to understand that illness manifests and takes shape through underlying patterns. By leveraging intention, prayer, and the elements of my training, I assist patients in identifying and unwinding the patterns that hold illness together. There is a profound calling for me to offer a higher form of spiritual work and divine service, guiding individuals toward holistic healing and well-being.
