About Astra Lucentia
Astra Lucentia
is Latin for “The Brightest Stars.”
At their core, everyone is beautiful. Everyone is a brilliant light, a divine spark, a bright star. If you are feeling lost or stuck, I want to help you reclaim that brilliance.
The cornerstone of my sessions is saying hello to you as a spirit, the immortal, divine spark of you that exists beyond your body. When we are communicating spirit to spirit, you show me the things that you want reflected back to you in the session. This creates communication that is profound and transformational. The things you show me as a spirit not only come into your awareness, but they often effortlessly shift just from having the light shone on them.
Even old, stubborn patterns can be dislodged over time, to help you manifest in the world in the way that you want. I am honored to bear witness to this process, and I look forward to helping you rediscover your own brilliance.
I look forward to working with you!

About Shannon Brown, ND LAc
Shannon Brown felt an immediate calling to his work the moment he wandered into the Berkeley Psychic Institute at the age of 19, and eventually realized that his mission in this life was to create connections and heal the body and spirit.
Shannon is a naturopathic physician, licensed Balance Method acupuncturist, and practitioner of transformational intuitive counseling. He has been connecting spirit-to-spirit with clients for over 30 years, helping them access and utilize their own vast internal resources and transformational abilities.
He began his journey on the esoteric end of healing by completing the Clairvoyant Training Program of the Berkeley Psychic Institute in 1989. In the 90s, he studied medical qigong with Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson.
Later, he felt a need for further formal education in natural medicine, earning his ND (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine) degree in 2001, and his Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine in 2006, both at National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
In 2010, Shannon started bringing help to the housebound as a house call doctor, and still makes house calls. Today, he practices at Opening to Life in Portland, a community of practitioners representing a wide range of healing modalities.
