Upcoming Events at HWCA

Rock that Body! (Yes, the one you currently have!)

This workshop will give you a taste of basic meditation & mindfulness concepts as they apply to body and fitness. In a society that promotes insane ideals of attractiveness and athleticism, how do we stay grounded in reality, feel the joy of moving our bodies around and show up for ourselves nutritionally? How can we keep working towards our goals in a sane way? And how can we be a small part of changing the culture of comparing and rejecting our bodies? We'll discuss these topics together and you'll also get to try your hand (or feet?!) at a couple meditation techniques and briefly discuss common myths and obstacles to an effective home practice.

Heather Shannon, LCPC, is the owner of HWCA of Chicago, a holistic mental health practice in Wicker Park aimed at helping "Type A" professionals and entrepreneurs to stress less, increase effectiveness and enjoy life more.

Heather's latest project is Mindfulness on Demand, a 6-month virtual coaching program aimed at teaching mindfulness to busy professionals. When not working, Heather's passions include dancing, learning, traveling and connecting with awesome people.

Testimonial - Christine S.

“I went to the sugar blues workshop here, and it was really interesting and helpful, not to mention reasonably priced. I liked Heather’s (the wellness consultant’s) approach – she was very down-to-earth and didn’t encourage people to completely cut out sweets; rather, she presented information on a variety of natural sweeteners. She also gave out healthy snacks and recipes which was awesome! Additionally, I was able to receive a health history which gave me a good perspective on my past and current habits. This is a great place!”

Testimonial - J. R. Chicago

“Heather and Claretha are a dynamic duo who cover all topics related to relaxation and restoration. If you are new to these concepts or need a refresher, this is the place for you. Tons of information will be provided, as well as useful and practical tips on bringing more relaxation into your daily life. I highly recommend this series.”
