Shannon Russo-Pollack Founder & CEO, SHA |

Creator of the PSMB Method™ PAUSE. SWEAT. MOVE. BREATHE.

SHA Russo-Pollack has spent 17 years on the right side of that distinction.

Since 2008, SHA has partnered with over 180+ recognized organizations across finance, law, luxury, media, and hospitality — assembling teams of physicians, medical professionals, and performance specialists to deliver executive health programming that moved organizations forward. She didn't wait for the industry to catch up. She built the standard.

Today, SHA architects environments where leaders recalibrate, realign, and return to performance at the highest level — working with corporations, hospitality groups, luxury brands, founding CEOs, and private groups who understand that elite performance is not accidental. It is architected.

Her approach is grounded in a philosophy the wellness industry rarely says out loud: that true performance resilience is not built in a yoga class or a meditation app. It is built through strategic pause, controlled stress, intentional movement, and breath-led nervous system regulation — integrated into the rhythms of leadership life.

In 2008, Shannon founded the DASHA® brand — Enhance Your Well-Being® — a benchmark in integrated health consulting that operated across NYC and beyond, setting the foundation for everything SHA builds today.

Personally— if there is such a thing — SHA is a devoted mother, a competitive pickleball player, a dedicated athlete, and a committed dog lover. She runs. She lifts. She moves every single day. She approaches life the same way she approaches her work: with precision, presence, spiritual grounding, and a holistic intelligence that connects the physical to the personal to the professional.

She doesn't just teach this philosophy. She lives it.

"I don't teach wellness. I architect it." — SHA Russo-Pollack

If you are ready to build performance that sustains — for yourself, your leadership team, or your entire organization — SHA's work begins with a single conversation.

.“Stay active. Think holistically. Lead spiritually. Build beyond the box ” — SHA

It’s ALL in the practice.

I didn’t create PAUSE. SWEAT. MOVE. BREATHE.™ in a boardroom.
I built it in motion — through discipline, breath, repetition, challenge, and lived experience. I am an athlete at heart. Grounded in yoga. Sharpened by the run. Playing on the court. Strengthened through resistance. Fueled by competition.

Spiritual awareness anchors me.
Holistic intelligence guides me.
Athletic precision defines my standard.

A dedicated practitioner of yoga, running, strength training, weight training, and pickleball, I live the work I teach — balancing presence with power, spiritual grounding with physical intensity, all while breaking a damn good sweat.
