Hi, I’m Shannon Hershman, founder of Be Well My Body.

Funny enough, my wellness journey began the moment I got sick. After being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, I made it my mission to heal from chronic pain—and I did. Despite being a professional dancer and Pilates instructor, it was through deep study and advanced training in holistic modalities that I truly reclaimed my health. I’ve now been pain-free and in remission for over 10 years.

Today, I help others do the same. As a Pilates, mobility, and movement specialist, I’m dedicated to helping people move freely and live pain-free. Through these practices—and highly specialized modalities like Fascial Stretch Therapy, Reiki, and Quantum Energy Healing—I support clients in healing chronic pain, restoring flexibility, and building lasting strength, both physically and energetically.

I believe everyone deserves to feel happy, healthy, and pain-free—because wellness starts from the inside out. Whether through private sessions, weekly classes, or specialized courses, I’m here to guide you back to balance—energetically and physically.

Be well—because you deserve nothing less.

What People Are Saying

“As someone with chronic pain (and over the age of 50), I was looking for a program that was both challenging and flexible. I also really wanted to find a way to tie it all together with my overall physical and emotional well-being. Working with Shannon—utilizing her vast experience and knowledge, along with her insatiable desire for continuing education in new modalities—has made her much more of a guiding partner than an instructor. From Pilates and Fascia Release to Reiki and Quantum Energy Healing, this isn’t just a program; it’s a pathway to healthier, happier life.” - Maureen Maher, Award Winning Investigative Journalist

"Shannon has changed my life. When I started my work with her 7 years ago, I was hardly able to walk due to some autoimmune and musculoskeletal issues. Between her extensive knowledge of how the body works, pilates, foam rolling, nutrition, and myofascial stretching—she has helped me get to a place in my physical wellness that I never thought I could obtain. I recently was able to compete and had one of the highest scores in a rigorous fitness test for an agency employment position. That would not have been possible without Shannon’s support. She listened to any physical concerns I was having with my body and always had an answer of how to remedy it. I could not more highly recommend her.”-A.M.A.

"Shannon has been my Pilates Instructor for about 7 years. During that time she has helped me stay flexible, strong, and balanced. I am now 76 years old and Shannon has helped me through so many issues with my aging body. I have multiple neck and back problems including neck fusion.  Shannon always knows what to do when I tell her 'this or that hurts' or 'I can’t move this part of my body today.'  She always has multiple movement ideas that will help give me relief or to strengthen a part of my body. She is able to quickly modify any movement if necessary. She is able to adjust every session to my needs not just follow a Pilates routine. I live alone and honestly would not be able to do the things I need to do to keep me living in a second floor walk-up condo, not to mention life in general. I am so grateful to have Shannon as an instrutor and a friend. Without her I wouldn’t be able to do everything I need and want to do comfortably or at all.” - Sandy P.

"Shannon is one of the best instructors that I've ever worked with. In Pilates, she pays precise attention to form to ensure that I'm moving the right muscles in proper alignment so that I get more out of the movements I do. She has helped me improve alignment, strength and mobility. I also love working with her on Fascia Stretch Therapy™, which feels amazing, and energy healing, which has helped me feel more at peace.”-Stephanie M.
