ABOUT ME

Shannen Lee is an avid student of life who finds deep fulfillment in working with Herbs and Plant allies. Her approach is informed by ongoing immersion in Internal Family Systems, somatic innerstanding, Chinese wisdom, and relational Plant spirit alliance guided by the Amazonian Shipibo-Konibo lineage - integrating these relationships through an embodied, trauma-aware lens.

She is completing her final year at Bastyr University, refining her focus on Women’s Health, Pelvic Floor Therapy, Botanical & Physical Medicine, and Nervous System support. She continues to deepen her understanding of humanity through ancient medicine studies outside of her Bastyr training to bring forth a rounded, dynamic practice as she approaches her licensure as a Naturopathic Doctor.

Shannen appreciates medicine as a living practice of learning, transformation, and devotional service of liberation and integration of human health.

Clinical Interests and Skills

  • Shannen practices deep listening through somatic presence. She attunes to the subtle tones within each person’s story, helping them clarify their values so that actions, choices, and lifestyle move together in harmony.

    Her work draws from the wisdom of Chinese philosophy, which teaches that every person is conceived with information to fulfill their human experience fully, if desired. The body, health, and life continually invite us to return to fluctuating balance and fluidity.

    Shannen understands how easily we may comfortably identify with medical labels, which can obscure the simplicity of living. She supports patients in recognizing that nothing one perceives is fixed - our relationship with these labels can either reinforce imbalance or open pathways for transformation and ease.

    She is devoted to reimagining medicine beyond inherited structures of dominance and separation - restoring relationship, agency, and reverence to the healing process.

    Her approach blends philosophical insight with embodied awareness. She views medicine as a collaborative practice, where the practitioner serves as a guide equipped with tools and vitalistic perspective, rather than authoritative rigidity.

    As all of life and the turning of the unfathomable cosmos reveal the essence of relationship, so too does the chapter of healing between patient and practitioner.
