Warm greetings from Whole U. Founder, Shannon O'Brien

Dear Fellow Seeker,

I'm here to help you find career alignment, while also maintaining health, joy, and freedom in your life. Why am I qualified to advise you? Since starting Whole U. in 2012, I've helped thousands of purpose-driven job seekers like you, to pursue their life's work.

It's my life's work - to help you find yours.

For me, "the secret" to obtaining dream jobs ... educational accolades... (or anything else) is rooted in living a balanced, purposeful life. So my goal in working with you, is to stay present and connected, while cultivating the belief in what is best for your highest good.

"Magic is the natural consequence of holding yourself in steady alignment." (A.H.)

On my continued journey to become WHOLE, I've studied numerous modalities to develop mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I started my yoga practice in 1997, and am now completing training in "Hatha Fascia Yoga." Previous to starting Whole U. in 2012, I worked at Harvard and MIT (promoting diversity and invention), and completed postgraduate studies at:

Harvard Medical School ("Media and Medicine" Certificate)
Harvard Graduate School of Education (Ed.M. in Technology, Innovation & Education)
ICU in Tokyo, Japan (M.A. in Peace Studies, as a Rotary World Peace Fellow)

Born in the USA, I grew up 10 years in Europe, and have traveled to 36 countries, continuing to open my mind to new people, cultures - and what is inherent in each of us.
