Biography for Shannon Laackmann, CHt

Reverend Shannon Laackmann, BMsc, CHt, CLYT, is a Certified Hypnotherapist, Metaphysical Minister, and intuitive guide dedicated to helping clients heal, transform, and thrive.

Her passion for hypnotherapy began after a life-changing session released a deep-seated childhood fear. Experiencing this profound shift firsthand inspired Shannon to specialize in guiding others through similar journeys of emotional release, trauma healing, and nervous system regulation.

Shannon’s approach is compassionate and nurturing, blending hypnotherapy with her natural psychic abilities, metaphysical studies, and laughter-based practices. This unique combination allows her to create safe, supportive sessions that bring clarity, confidence, and renewed self-awareness.

As the Psychic Cowgirl, Shannon weaves practicality and intuition together, helping clients shift energy, release old patterns, and step forward with greater ease. Her mission is to empower others to live more fully, with resilience, joy, and authenticity.

When she’s not working with clients, Shannon is a rancher, entrepreneur, and mom who knows the value of balancing life’s challenges with humor, grit, and grace.
