Heather Shannon

Heather earned an undergraduate degree in business, but soon realized she needed a career that would allow her to be more directly involved in helping and connecting with others, so went back to school for her master’s in counseling and later a certification in holistic health coaching. A serial entrepreneur, she has been the owner of HWCA of Chicago–a holistic mental health center–since 2011 and launched Mindfulness on Demand in 2015.

Heather began her own meditation journey in 2005 when she attended a public meditation service at the Zen Buddhist Temple in Chicago. Throughout the years she has participated in meditation retreats, discussion groups, mindfulness classes and a home meditation practice. Heather has a particular passion for working with other entrepreneurs and her MOD programs use mindfulness to help clients increase focus, improve relationships and enjoy their success more by living in the present moment.
