The Heart Behind Shanti Living

I am a dedicated mental health and wellness educator, and Ph.D. candidate studying Health Psychology. With over eight years of clinical research experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I bring a strong scientific foundation to my work, pairing evidence-based mental health education with hands-on, interactive wellness practices.

Through workshops, immersive wellness experiences, and life strategy sessions, I guide individuals and communities toward greater clarity, compassion, and connection, one intentional moment at a time.

“I created Shanti Living to make mental wellness feel approachable and real. To create spaces where people can breathe, learn, grow, and feel supported as they work toward a balanced, connected, and healthy life”

-Laurel Cannon
