Meet Shannan
Work that moves you.
Shannan Slevin creates thoughtful brands, products, and programs rooted in the belief that well-being shapes how we work, live, and lead.
Over the past 15+ years, she has partnered with organizations including Adobe, Athleta, Jim Beam, Kaiser Permanente, Martha Stewart, Pandora, and Vistage, designing workplace wellness initiatives, leadership experiences, and programs that help people and organizations thrive. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Yoga Journal, Time Out, and 7x7 Magazine.
Her path runs through communications, tech sales, and integrative wellness — an unlikely combination that turned out to be exactly the right one. She pairs business strategy with behavioral science and human-centered design, and has spent over a decade teaching movement, mindfulness, nutrition, and nervous system regulation — translating the research into tools people actually use.
Today, alongside WellFests, she is Co-Founder and CEO of Civil Doody™, an eco-forward consumer brand rethinking an everyday ritual through design, philosophy, and sustainability. She's also built the Well-Traveled Blueprint™, Well-Traveled Collective™, and The Leadership Practice — a suite of publications, membership, and coaching for people building lives and careers without borders.
A fifth-generation Californian with Irish and Portuguese roots, Shannan lives a globally mobile lifestyle, bringing a lasting curiosity about culture, philosophy, and human behavior to everything she makes.
The throughline: well-being as the foundation — for stronger organizations, better products, and lives built with more intention.
“Shannan’s work is absolutely exceptional! I am not the type of person who does yoga, meditates, does breathing exercises, etc., so her work was foreign to me. Needless to say, I was a bit skeptical. However, after participating in a few sessions with her, I realized that her work has immense power. Her ability to connect with skeptical audiences (aka me) and help them become more productive, present, and purposeful during the work day is an incredible value. Every manager and leader should speak with Shannan to figure out how their teams and employees can benefit from partnering with her.”
