When the body is tired, and identity is shifting, the old ways of coping no longer work - this is where we begin.


Current Offerings:


My focus is Burnout Recovery for Women in Midlife.
I do work with men who are referred to me.
Burnout is a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion caused by long periods of stress and overwork. It often expresses itself as feelings of fatigue, reduced performance, and a sense of detachment from life/work.In 2021, it was estimated that burnout costs the global economy up to $190 billion annually due to lost productivity.In 2026, Cleo reports in their article: 2026 FHI Findings: The menopause-burnout link: Why the sandwich generation is reaching a breaking point—and what it costs employers that:91% of women who seek support for menopause report dealing with at least one active symptom that is related to menopause.77% are experiencing emotional symptoms such as anxiety, depression and irritability, and 76% have reported mental symptoms such as forgetfulness and decreased concentration.Women who provide caregiving 15+ hours a week are 57% more likely to report worse menopause symptoms compared to non-caregivers.You can access the article with the link below.

Client ReviewsMahala's Day Spa Google Review:
"I traveled over an hour and a half to see Shannon for a Convergence Energy Therapy session. It's well worth the drive. Shannon's space is tranquil, and the entire spa is beautiful and clean. I always leave sessions with Shannon feeling lighter, inner peace, and more connected to myself. You can trust her to hold space for you and to attune to what is needed at each session. Her work is incredible and so is she!" Myranda W

NTV Google Reviews"I first met Shannon through her " Body by design" program that was such an amazing and very eye- opening process, allowing you to know who you are, to be uplifted to a whole different level and why we might repeat some habits we would like see in the rear view mirror..lol
I have also been several times for energy work, and I am always amazed how much better I feel, how centered I am and my sense of overall wellbeing.
I highly recommend Shannon for your body and soul needs."

About

Nuture the Vessel is online and in-person coaching, energy therapies, and human design located in Portland, Maine with Shannon Emery.

Hello, I'm Shannon Emery, PHC, LMT.I've been the realm of holistic and modern healthcare
for over 20 years.
I am a Burnout Recovery Practitioner, and I work mostly with women, during significant transitions such as midlife, death and caregiving.I myself am in midlife, and it's been an amazing teacher so far! As I learn more about me in this stage of life (and have overcome burnout myself), I am able to support women as they navigate their journey and move into their next level of life.This is a Sacred time in life.
It's initiation into the next powerful phase of life as you let go and heal what is no longer yours to carry and hold.
This is a time for honoring and supporting
what the body, energetics and soul are calling for in the here and now and beyond.
This is the work of Nurture the Vessel.
