About Shawnrey

Author, Embodiment & Creativity Coach 
aka The Sensual Intelligence™ Expert

How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become an Embodiment & Creativity Coach and a #1 Bestselling Author?

In my junior year of college I studied abroad for a semester in Brazil. It was a dream come true because I was studying how dance was used to build and heal community. However, I almost didn’t make it out of Brazil alive. I ended up in the intensive care unit, my body shutting down from the beginning toxic shock. 

You see, I was literally working myself to death writing my thesis, IN PORTUGUESE. Then, to make matters worse, after I was released from the hospital, and finally finished the thesis, my program director told me, “Shawnrey, why did you write this paper? You should have just danced for your final project.” I was devastated.

At the time I was trying to prove myself, to show that I could be academically rigorous.

I was struggling with trying to fit into the academic system and appear smart. It was ironic that I was writing about the importance of dance, holistic health, and joy, yet, I was completely disconnected from my body and my truth, to the point of almost dying.

Then the bottom fell out from under me. I got more and more insecure and overwhelmed around writing anything longer than a poem. 

For years after that, whenever I would write, I just couldn’t finish. I had this fear that I was a bad writer, and that writing meant that I would have to torture myself. So, I would write but never finish anything I started. 

Even though I had a book inside of me and a lifelong dream of becoming an author, I couldn’t get myself to do it. I convinced myself I didn’t have enough “discipline”. That I didn’t have what it takes to be an author.

Which meant I couldn’t get my message out into the world and really give people the healing they needed around their bodies. I was limited to the people I could reach during my live workshops, and to those who were bold enough to participate. This meant that my message didn’t have the impact I knew it could, and I was missing out on money, and being the leader I knew I was deep down.

As you can imagine, my confidence and sense of self were in shatters, but I wasn't ready to give up on my dream of becoming an author and being joyful, nourished, and successful...

Then I discovered something amazing! My areas of expertise, Sensual Intelligence™ and embodiment, which I had been teaching for years, was the very medicine I needed in order to write my book.


At that point, everything changed!

I discovered how to:

- Write from my body and my heart (instead of my head). I had been programmed to think that I had to force myself to be productive. Instead, I learned to EMBODY my message and write from there.

- Nourish my creativity and pleasure in writing. I didn’t have to sacrifice my health and pleasure for the sake of productivity.

- Unlock focus, clarity, and consistency. These didn’t come from an external, forced structure outside of me. I discovered that when I connected to the wisdom of my body and my heart, the structure, clarity, and consistency came naturally. 

Because I decided to write in an embodied, sensually intelligent, I was able to:

- Write my book and become the author I have always dreamed of becoming. 

- Gain credibility in my field. I am considered an expert, have been invited to podcasts, and more. All because I am an author of a well-written book.

- Powerfully reach people I have never been able to reach (like corporate clients), and leave a lasting legacy. This meant that I could be transforming lives from anywhere in the world and people could take my teaching with them to their room and easily share it with others.

Now I'm living my dream of being an author and living from a place of joy and nourishment, as a pathway to success. I never have to worry about working myself to death ever again.

And that's why I'm so passionate about Unleash the Author Within, the immersive author incubator to birth your book, so you can experience realizing your dream of becoming an author and living from a place of joy and nourishment, as a pathway to success too!

Who are your Clients?

I work with people just like you who are healers, change-makers, activists, leaders, creatives, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who are wanting to get your book and your message out into the world!

I help people who
  • Have a book inside of you, and yet don't know how to start
  • ​Or you've started a book, but you've hit a wall and don't know where go
  • ​Have tried and are tired of the "same old" dry and uninspired ways writing 
  • Are recovering "A-type" personality or recovering perfectionist that can get stuck in your head
  • ​Know that you have an important message to share, but need to recover your confidence and reclaim your voice
  • ​Want to step into your leadership and authority without losing your creative expression and joy 

What makes your program different from other writing programs? 

I’m not just trying to make you churn out a book. If you’re wanting to take the fast lane and write a cookie cutter book, then this is not the program for you. 

I actually help you open the portal of your creativity so that you EMBODY and live your message. I help you become the author of your life, your purpose, AND your book.

A lot of us grow up being told that certain parts of our expression were wrong, not professional, or not acceptable. So we self-censor. 

This is a space where you can feel more present in your body, and therefore more present to yourself and your writing. You have permission to awaken and explore your soul message and your voice, without feeling repressed, shamed, or ridiculed. 
I want you to get your book written and your message out in the world in a confident, authentic, powerful yet heart-centered way. 

Your voice, your message, your book are needed.

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?

The Sensual Intelligence™ workshops, products and programs (including Unleash the Author Within) are for people who are ready to answer the call back to their inner wildness, aliveness, and creativity.

You are ready, willing to do ancestral, magical, embodied movement, homework, journaling. You're excited about discovering yourself and connecting to the soul of your book.  This means being ready to disappear overwhelm, gain clarity and focus, and write your book through exploring, creating, deepening a connection with the intelligence of your body and your heart, not just your mind.

You have to be ready to stretch yourself open and find your essential, creative self.

Being a heart-centered leader with an important message myself, I’m known to work best with other heart-centered leaders with a big message.  

To write a book is to invite the soul of your message to come through you, to transform you, so that you transform the world.

Your book is a gift. It is a gift to you, because in the writing of it, you dive into depths of your soul, the depths of your resilience, your endurance, your willingness to open to truth, your willingness to open to creativity and the wisdom of your heart and body. It is a path to both humility and greatness. To write a book, you will have to surrender to your greater self.

No more excuses. No more suppression. Just a very different way of being and having full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: Write Your Book. 

For what type of professionals are your programs NOT going to work?

I’m very selective in who I work with and I (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for. (It wouldn’t be fair to them.) The Sensual Intelligence™ programs are NOT for those who:

1)   Who are just wanting to get their entrepreneurial book written and published purely for profit and speed. There are many programs that cater towards the get your book done fast. We've all see those books. What I have found is that these books lack soul and substance, and are just marketing gimmicks to attract more clients (are they really YOUR clients though?), without any real depth or transformation for anyone. 

2)    Are not willing to write their book. I’m not a ghost writer nor am I an editor. What I do is help you unblock and sustain a healthy and nourishing relationship with your muse so that you are able to write a book that you love and that speaks to your readers. We DO have opportunities for sharing and feedback.

3)    This program is also not for you if you are not wanting to tap into embodiment. We will be moving, dancing, voicing, meditating, and using the body as a creative instrument. 

4) If you want to be a starving artist, suffering alone in isolation, this program is not for you. This is a transformational space, inviting you to live life out loud, on purpose, AND change people’s lives through your book.

What exactly is the Sensual Intelligence™ system and how does it help with Writing my Book?!

Ahhh, I'm so glad you asked!
Sensual Intelligence™ begins with understanding we are embodied, sensual beings and when we have a conscious relationship with our bodies we unlock wisdom, power, joy, and creativity. 

Sensual Intelligence™ is actually a whole lifestyle transformation that connects you to your sensuality --your body-- in a way that engages the sensitivity of your heart, the discernment of the mind, and the interconnectedness of community.
Here’s what the Sensual Intelligence™ System in the Unleash the Author Within Program gets you to do:

Step 1: Soothe, Clear, and Focus. 
Soothe your nervous system so that you can feel calm. When you are calm your are more receptive, creative, and productive. Create an intention and focus your energy, clear your mind of distractions. Feel at home and trust within your body so that you produce hormones and an internal system that supports creativity.

Step 2: Retreat-- Opening the Portal of Creativity. Having a clear vision of what you are creating and who you are becoming is the foundation of actually manifesting your dream. By the end of this retreat, you will have your Embodied Core Message and the Soul of Your Book, which will serve as the foundation of your book and keep you inspired and focused. You will also Embody Your Vision and Embody the Author you want to become. All of this serves of

Step 3: Map Out Your Book, using the Sensual Intelligence™ Embodied Heart-Mindmap Method. Embodiment creates a vibration, a body, heart, soul connection that is really, true, inspirational, authentic. You will build trust with yourself and your expression and tap into the wisdom of your body, senses and retrieve the stories, anecdotes that will become the vibrant and compelling chapters of your book.

Step 4: Weekly Embodied Writing Circles: Every week we will create a sacred, creative container where you will develop an embodied writing practice that will keep you connected to the heart and soul of your work. These meetings will have prompts and guided embodied activities that will give you the stories and content that will become the components of your book!

Step 5: Weekly Community Witnessing, Accountability, & Sharing.  You are NOT alone. Write a book can be extremely lonely and isolating. This drains you and shuts down your creative spirit. Instead, imagine gathering together in a sacred, tenderly held, creative, embodied space. We will deep dive into ceremonial calling in the sacred fire of inspiration; bless your sensual body because YOU are the vessel through which this book is being birthed.  

Step 6: Wipe out Writers Block & Imposter Syndrome with the 7-Ps of Sensual Expression. You will receive 
- Guided meditations, embodiment, and mindset practices that will help you create and maintain momentum to stay you in the spirit of writing
- Support to recognize and release any mindsets, energies, postures that keep you stuck
- Embodied writing prompts that unblock creative flow

Step 7: My Book Wrote Itself! -- Plug & Play Intuitive Organization Tool. This is the time to pull everything you've been creating into one coherent, organized place. It's literally like magic. Before you know it, you will realize you have an entire book written!

Does this really work?

Yes! I absolutely LOVE seeing my clients be utterly amazed that they are actually, really and truly, writing their book. They are surprised that not only did they NOT have to force creativity or work themselves to death. The Sensual Intelligence™ system makes the creative process fun, simple, intuitive and organized!

I hadn’t looked at [my writing] for almost 2 years because I was terrified of the feedback. But, with Shawnrey’s support and course, I was finally able to see that I created this big huge scary monster in the closet and it’s just my clothes! I have never felt so freed before. I can finally love writing again, feel confident, and get this thing done!
