John Shukwit

John’s longtime interest in consciousness and its effects on behavior is what inspired him to become a therapist. He received his master’s degree in counseling psychology from Lesley College and served as a licensed counselor at Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center for many years. Attracted to the integrative approach to wellness at Canyon Ranch, he joined our team in 2007.

Specializing in stress management and mindfulness, John provides guidance to individuals who are seeking long-term change. He helps them find stillness in pursuit of clarity, and strongly encourages guests to try something new during their time at Canyon Ranch.

When away from our Mind & Spirit team at the Ranch, John can be found outside gardening or playing his guitar. He strives to practice the message he teaches, which is to live clearly, intentionally, and mindfully.
