Shannon Chada

Shannon Chada, known in ceremony as Mino Nagamowin Ikwe, Good Singing Woman, has been at this work for more than twenty-seven years. She is a Reiki Master Teacher in the eighth lineage from Dr. Mikao Usui, a Cranial Sacral Therapist, a Certified Yoga Instructor of more than five hundred hours, and a legally ordained non-denominational minister. Her practice carries the weight of long study and the lightness of song.

Her Reiki journey began in 1997. By 2000 she had become a Master and Teacher, and she has trained with elders across many lineages since. She offers all four levels of Usui Reiki certification through the Chicago and Rockford regions, leads yearly mentorships and apprenticeships, and is an NCBTMB Approved Provider for continuing education.

"Each tradition becomes a single thread. The work is to weave gently."

Shannon is the founder and director of Full Circle Harmony, which has partnered with SoderWorld for over fourteen years. Her Native American roots move through everything she weaves. Drum and flute, voice and silence, ceremony and the quiet work of one to one healing all live inside her practice without seam.

At SoderWorld she works by specialty appointment, offering Reiki, Cranial Sacral, and Spiritual Mentoring sessions. She also leads classes in yoga, aromatherapy, and sacred circle ceremony throughout the year. Her invitation is steady. To turn inward, to remember your own purpose, and to trust the transformative power of the heart.
