About Luminous Connections

Rebuilding from control to clarity — together.

🌿 Our Mission

At Luminous Connections, we help individuals rebuild after systems of control, emotional trauma, or identity disruption—by guiding them through clarity-based coaching, emotionally intelligent frameworks, and growth-centered support.

We empower people to rewrite their stories with intention, resilience, and agency.

Through group programs, private coaching, and trauma-informed tools, we help our clients reconnect to their voice, regain their rhythm, and lead lives that reflect who they truly are—not who they were told to be.

Everything we do is shaped by lived experience, integrity, and a belief in the quiet power of becoming.

Our Vision

We envision a world where people who’ve lived through control, trauma, or deep personal disruption can come home to themselves—fully, freely, and without shame.

Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, we honor the beauty in life’s fractures and believe every crack tells a story worth preserving—not hiding.

Our vision is to guide people as they reconstruct identity, voice, and rhythm after life has broken open—creating a new standard in personal development that centers emotional integrity, sustainable resilience, and the permission to rewrite the rules.

We see a future where the people we serve don’t just bounce back—they rise.
They rise with clarity, confidence, and community.
They lead with intention, purpose, and peace.
And they live with joy, truth, and belonging.

This is the vision we carry.
This is the path we walk.
This is what it means to be deservingly you.

💫 Our Core Values

Integrity in Every Step
We lead with truth and follow through with care. Integrity isn’t a buzzword—it’s the standard. We speak it, live it, and hold space for others to rise with it.

Excellence Rooted in Humanity
We pursue mastery without hustle culture. Our work is precise, powerful, and heart-led—because the best service honors both ambition and soul.

Visionary Leadership with Compassion
We hold a clear vision of what’s possible for our clients—and walk with them every step, grounded in respect, empathy, and deep presence.

You Deserve to Invest in You
Self-investment isn’t selfish—it’s revolutionary. We believe every person deserves the time, tools, and support to become who they were meant to be.

Aligned Empowerment
We don’t tell people who to be. We help them come home to themselves. Our coaching honors each client’s values, voice, and lived experience.

Healing Happens in Safe Spaces
Growth doesn’t happen in pressure. It happens in places that feel grounded, clear, and kind. We create spaces where people can breathe, become, and belong.

Our Approach

Trauma-informed, clarity-based coaching

We blend trauma-informed safety practices with clarity-based decision work. Sessions focus on stabilizing nervous system responses, mapping practical choices, and rebuilding a coherent sense of self — all paced to each person's tolerance and priorities to avoid retraumatization.

  • Safety-first somatic practices
  • Clear decision-mapping tools
  • Identity reclamation work
  • Community integration support

Programs & Support

Integration Groups

Founders' Story

Shannon and John Briggs

Shannon and John Briggs founded Luminous Connections after their own journeys out of controlling systems and years of peer support work. They combine lived experience with training in trauma-informed care, coaching ethics, and community-based healing practices.

They emphasize transparency, ethical boundaries, and slow, client-led progress—building programs that honor autonomy, reduce re-enmeshment risk, and provide practical tools for rebuilding life, relationships, and self-trust.

Every story of rebuilding begins with one courageous step.

If what you’ve read here resonates with you — if you’re ready to rebuild with clarity, safety, and purpose — we’d be honored to walk beside you.
